I'm so happy to see that even bigger quilters don't love up just like they would intend. This is why these specialty rulers are so important!
Yes!! We love all of our rulers!! 💖-Michelle
Love that ruler
This ruler makes great patterns! Happy that you love it and thank you for your comment! - Abby
I previously learned a much more complicated method of starting/ending adding a binding. Thank you for showing a great easier method for binding your quilts!!!! I learned my “something new” today! Thanks again.
That's so great to hear! Thank you for watching, Cindy! - Sophie
By far the best all around quilting tutorial on CZcams. I’m new at quilting & learned so very much. Thank you Jen
Thank you for the high praise! We're very glad you enjoyed this!! -Michelle
Thank-You for the instructions and introducing me to another useful tool. I can't wait my firstcourt house steps hotpad.
We're so happy you enjoyed this tutorial! We're looking forward to your project photos. 💖 -Michelle
Thank you so much for a great project. I love the use of the corner clipper for the binding it will make ending the binding so much easier. Thank you be safe and stay healthy.
Hi Delmarie! The Corner Clipper makes binding so quick and easy! Thank you for watching! - Sophie
This was very interesting. Thanks for showing how this pattern is easier to make than it looks! I am very impressed that you've replied to all the comments, too!
We're happy you enjoyed this tutorial. Thanks so much for watching!! 💖 -Michelle
Here in Farmington Maine area quilter make hot pads for the food bank. We save them till Thanksgiving n put two in each food basket. We all enjoy it. We also make use on donated orphan blocks for hot pads. I e joyed the video and I learned some tips at 70 years old. Great Job

Love the Creative Grids Tools.
But this is definitely a tongue twister!
A bit of a tongue twister to say, but so fun to use! Creative Grid tools are great! Thank you for watching, Beverley! - Sophie

I love this video and have this ruler on my wish list. I have been using the cutting corner ruler for over a year to do the bias cut for borders and bindings. I set up my fabric just like you normally would to sew the seam from corner to corner and put the ruler on it. It works just fine. All I have to do then is pin it. I'm still a fairly new quilter so I pin a lot. I do like this way of ending the binding. I'm going to try it today. For a small project it looks so much easier then the one for a larger quilt. Thank you for all your great video's. They have really helped me with my quilting and you have such cute patterns.
Hi Susan! This ruler is such a great tool! We're so happy you're part of the Shabby Fabrics family! - Sophie
Great tutorial - I’m a big fan of Creative Grids rulers- I have all the log cabin trim tools and you are correct the accuracy is so worth the price of tool!
Hi Karla! We couldn't agree more! Creative Grid rulers are the best! Thank you for watching! - Sophie
What an adorable hotpad. It would be so easy to add a couple more rounds and have a very nice hot mat to use on the table for under casserole dishes.
I also enjoy seeing the various tools in use. Sometimes I see those items and wonder when would I ever use it. I'll be looking for those little pins, for sure, because they would be so much nicer to use than safety pins.
Thanks for for showing the close-ups on making a good mitered corner and for stitch-in-the-ditch details. I like the look of stitch in the ditch but seem to wander all too often. I'll look for the Bernina foot for it.
Thank you for your kind words, Sandy! We're so happy you're part of the Shabby Fabrics family! - Sophie

I really love your fabrics and tutorials. I watched your videos almost everyday. I ordered the venice placemats and table runner kits but i’m still waiting for the delivery. So excited to make it and make it a sample to sell it to my friends🥰
Thank you for sharing, Grace! We'd love to see some of your finished projects! - Sophie
Love your video!
Can you show us how to manage the beginning and the finish threads of stitch-in-the-ditch when you sew those inside lines please
Thank you for the feedback! We will keep that in mind for future videos! - Sophie
Excellent
Thank you for watching! - Sophie
I love all of your tutorials. Can you ever consider doing a tote or bag with a vinyl zippered pouch?
That's a great idea, Chris! I'll be sure to pass this on and we'll keep your idea in mind for future videos! Thank you for watching! - Sophie
Some of us just want to know what song you played for the intro!
We found it on Epidemic Sound .com! We're happy you like it! -Michelle
Love your tutorials, you are “sew” thorough in your instructions. One question, could this block be turned into placements and coasters? TA
Hi Becky! That's a great idea! We'd love to see your finished project if you make a placemat or coaster! Thank you for sharing! - Sophie
what kind of foot is the
Bernina foot that does the stitch in a ditch? Thank you
Hi Jeannie - The Bernina foot recommended for stitch in the ditch use is the Edgestitch Foot, #10D. Hope this helps! -Michelle

Well hello how are you
Hello Barbara! We are fantastic! Thank you for watching! - Sophie
I love your video’s, the only thing is when you start to sew, please turn the music a little lower. When you start to talk I have to turn up the volume to hear you and turn it down when you sew or my husband sits straight up in bed, if I watch you at night.
Thank you.
Thank you for the feedback, Karen! - Sophie
