    The mother of one of my daughter’s oldest friends (since Kindergarten) just lost her 5 year battle to ovarian cancer. The mom was in the middle of making a quilt for my daughter’s friend’s daughter (her granddaughter), using the granddaughter’s receiving blankets from when she was a baby. (The granddaughter is 13 now.) Sadly, she did not finish. She got all the blocks constructed and sewn together and was in the process of quilting the backing and batting in between. When my daughter’s friend came to me and asked me if I could finish the quilt, I was both truly honored and terribly nervous! I sew clothing for my own granddaughter; I crochet afghans, but I have never quilted! Thank you so much for this in depth tutorial so I can finish a very special quilt designed by a very special angel in heaven. ❤️

    Don't forget to add a label to your finished quilt! Whether it's a gift for someone else or a quilt for yourself, having a name & date is such a great bit of history. And if it's for a special event, add that info & the place. It can be handwritten on a fabric remnant with a archive pen or printed from the computer or embroidered - whatever works for you.

My biggest issue is loading correctly and using pantos...Ive never seen you use them since I’ve always seen you use the computer, but I know there’s many of us who need to learn how to advance to line up correctly.

    Finally, An awesome step by step that is clear for those of us novices. Thank you so much for this. Now I may be able to get my edges to look better. I have been adding the edges but had no clue on how to make those mitered corners. I love all your videos. Like others I would love to see videos on long arm however for those of us that do not own one like me I would prefer videos on how to free motion on our home sewing machine. Thanks Donna!

    PERFECT instruction and very detailed for the newbie quilter. Thank you for putting so much time into your videos, they teach us newbies SOOO much! Please don't stop and yes, I'd love to see a video on the computer setup of the longarm. Also, thank you for reminding us that quilting isn't about 100% perfection, it should be about having fun!

  • @jztouch
    @jztouch Před 3 lety +3

    I wanted to have a go at quilting, having very tiny amount of sewing knowledge, thought it would be really hard. But your tutorial really made me feel I can do this and get excited. I was very lucky to win a sewing machine recently and am learning how to use it, I've started with napkins to practice and now have the bug ~ quilting here I come

    • @Lavender0646
      @Lavender0646 Před 3 lety +2

      If you use the precuts - 5" squares (charm packs) or the long, 2 inch strips, most of the cutting is done for you. And a good, sharp rotary cutter & rulers - it goes pretty fast and helps you to be accurate!

  • @sherrymclaughlin4947
    @sherrymclaughlin4947 Před 3 lety +7

    Thank you again for your tutorial!! I watch all of them. I would be interested in seeing how thoset up the longarm too. I'm thinking asst some point I'd like to buy one so it would help me that way too!! Thanks Donna.
    One more thing, thanks to Matt for cutting pre-cuts! I really don't like using the pinked ones, and he has a great eye for choosing coordinating fabrics!!

    • @luciabakova
      @luciabakova Před 3 lety

      I fully agree with you! Never done quilt before, and I was going to do something so stupid as first to join the borders and then fit the quilt between the borders and struggle just to find out it is not going to work! While watching Donna's tutorial it was " Ahhh so that is this way, ooooh, right, I get it now...."

  • @sharonpowell650
    @sharonpowell650 Před 3 lety +8

    Donna: That method of using the pin to push out the corner when you have too much on one side?? Genius!!! I struggled for years with the corners not matching. Quilting game changer for sure! Thank you so much!
