Brilliant !!!! I’m so pleased that your video popped up. The saying you’re never too old too learn so at 83 I’m real excited to sew these strips asap. Thanks once again 🌻 calling from South Africa
Drinking wine and listening to rock n roll! This newbie 'not-yet-a-quilter' loves this :).
Your're so good at the technical details of sewing, which make such a difference when we understand what we've been doing wrong. Thank you for sharing your gifts!
I Love This video, I have been quilting for 50 years, and I still learned 3 new things from watching your video, 1. Leaving the fabric to cool after ironing it, so you don't put the wrinkles back in (brilliant), 2. A better way to sew strips sets (shortening the stitch length), and 3. A wonderful new pattern ( I Love It).
Thank You for sharing Your Time, and Your Talent with all of us. I always enjoy your videos. It's always a good day when you learn something new, Thank You.
What Sabrina Said!
you make everything seem so easy for this 84 year old beginner. Love You
Congratulations on starting, you will enjoy
You and me both! I'm 67 yrs old!
78 here. Same. Rob great teacher
Well, you said slow down and that’s what I did to see this. An incredible tutorial ! Make more tutorials on the basics. I think the great material makes the visual part so enticing. As a retired high school science teacher I would give you an A+ on this video! 😊
Hi Rob, I use a 5lb dumbbell to hold my ruler down on long cuts, it works great! I learned this from Donna Jordan, my other fav!!!
When my bird joins me in my sewing room he perches on the dumbbell and watches me if he's not trying to supervise! 😂
Don’t birds poop without notice. 🥴
@@karencooley6723 LOL no he is on a schedule, I have his number and hold a paper towel under him every half hour or so, we have had accidents though but not in my sewing room. 😆
Kinda wondered that myself...
Me too
Thank you for taking your time and slowed down for those of us that move at a slower pace. xoxo
I am already hooked on this expensive habit.
Me too. But I get everything on sale, or with a coupon. It helps. Then I give the darn thing away! lol I always check out the Daily Deal at Missouri Star Quilt Company, and the Flash Sale at Fat Quarter Shop. I go to store sales, and peruse clearance racks. It is fun!!!
You want to try it in England - we don’t have as many stores so choice is restricted (and expensive) and no coupons here 🥺
@@jenniewren9351 Oh man, I am sorry!! I guess you will have to rely on sales, or internet prices.
@@jenniewren9351 like in Germany, too
I have been hooked since 2013! Haha! I am loving every minute of it! Since December of 2019 I have been working in a local family owned family Quilt shop that is a Bernina Dealer! It’s like working in a candy store almost! LOL! I am studying and taking courses to become a certified Bernina Saleswoman.
Rob, I love it when you explain what happened and how to adjust when things don't go perfectly. It give me a chance to learn how I made the same mistakes. Thanks for the tutorial and making quilting more fun! Happy Quilting!
Love your advice to slow down, rushing and messing something up is one of my biggest problems
New quilter here! When I saw your project at first...I thought can never putt that quilt together! You made it so simple and fun. Thank you so much and will watch it often to get things down and make my quilt!!! Yea yea yea!!!
Lol, listening to Christmas music, drinking tea and eating chocolate! Always great.
Rob you are so awesome! Thank you for sharing your wisdom and humor. I appreciate when you explain why you are doing something to help us understand and build our skills. 😊
Wow what a beautiful post I love it , how are you doing doing and I hope to hear from you soon🌹🌹🌹
You can't even keep count of the number of tips and tricks he gives you! Simply educational, Rob Thank you!!!
This way of sewing those strips together is great because of the fabric saved. It might not be much but sometimes you on,y need a little extra. I have never heard anyone say to shorten the stitch length when sewing strips and I have been quilting for years . Thanks 😊
Thank you! Especially for the tip about shortening the stitch to lessen the pull of the feed dogs. Love all your videos, especially this series for MM Fabrics.
Wow what a beautiful post I love it , how are you doing doing and I hope to hear from you soon🌹🌹🌹

Resting the fabric...I never thought of that but what a great idea. By The Way, I wash all my fabric first, just a preference of mine.
Thank you
DUDE! My mind is blown!! I cannot believe that is a strip quilt!. Wow! This has opened my brain to a whole new way of designing easy quilts using fabrics I have that I could not figure out what to do with. This is AMAZING! Thanks, Rob!! You rock, as always :)
I thought that pattern looked so complicated until you used those strips. Thanks Rob, for show us how simple some quilting can be!
Wow you are a appreciate woman wish all would be like you well I hope we could be friends and get to know more about each other if you don’t mind
I like your voice. Very easy to listen to you. I am 80 years old so hearing isn’t the best and I really like the way you put those blocks together. Thank you so much tonight it’s the first night I’ve listen to you Arnold Schwarzenegger says I’ll be back.
Love this block! So glad someone besides me has a brain that moves faster than the words can come out of their mouth 😉 I am on my third quilt and used a pattern for only one. Brain keeps going in a different direction. Keep bringing your energy and joy to us- love it!
Excellent info!❤
Hi Rob I started watching you when you were doing Man Sewing when I saw you with Jenny and MSQC. I’m glad I stumbled across this video. I still like your flair, time lapse and your detail. Take care. Marian from CA.
👋👋👋Wow you are a appreciate woman wish all would be like you well I hope we could be friends and get to know more about each other if you don’t mind
@@anthonjonsson2651 why are you hitting on every woman that posts?
I love you and your style! Uplifting and fun. (duh!) The SLOW DOWN and make the stitch length shorter hint is brilliant. Without knowing it, I have actually been assembling that way for years. Maybe it was a zillion years of garment sewing. Who knows. Have the bulk off to the left of the machine just makes sense. Thank you again for your fun lessons. Have already with shared with two new quilters. Learn it correctly from the start is my motto!
Whoa! Welcome back Rob!!! I just stumbled upon your video and I am thrilled that you are back online.
Thank you, Michael Miller Fabrics for adding Rob into your team! I'm subbed up, with a happy face today. Looking forward to to all the wonderful teaching and creations he will bring into my sewing room.
Happy Spring!

Wow what a beautiful post I love it , how are you doing doing and I hope to hear from you soon🌹🌹🌹
Wow! Rob I haven’t see you for years, I am glad to found you again, what a cool trick, this block is beautiful, thank you, I am subscribed now.
Me too! I missed Man Sewing and wondered where he went!
I watch Jordon fabrics and she uses a weight on the end of her ruler because she is short that is a good solution for putting weight on the end. Love your videos glad to see you slow down.
I use a weight like Donna Jordan does in her videos. When your a short person the hand weight is so helpful.
@@sharonkennydidden1732 I am also short and the weight is very helpful tome
I was the first person to tell you that you could hurt yourself by extending the index finger! I'm glad you looked into it and now educate others.... even if you continue doing it yourself. I know you know exactly how hard it can be to change habits.
"Waterskiing" omigosh I will NEVER forget that visual! Thanks Rob, you have a new fan :)
I'm glad you mentioned pre-washing. Many people don't but it is part of my fabric prep. Thanks for an informative video.
My friend brought that block in yesterday to our quilt group a lot of the ladies are going to be making that Thanks watch you way back when!
I put a 5 lb dumbell on the end of my ruler. It really helps, especially when cutting more than 4 layers. Great show, btw.
I di that too. Also, leaned it from Donna at Jordan's Fabric. We're so lucky to have so many Quinting Instructors. Thanks Rob. You Rock. Live your videos.
Me too - an absolutely life-changing tip picked up from Donna Jordan :)
I also use a dumbbell at the end of my ruler.
I do, too. Learned it from Donna Jordan.
Donna Jordon does wonderful videos, she breaks everything down and makes sewing a quilt together so much easier.
I LOVE that quilt behind you
Just had to tell you, Rob..... I needed to stitch (6) 1.5" strips together for a table topper. I watched your video two more times. Took everything you said to heart and did my best to mimic your excellent work. I'm here to report, the strip set should measure 6.5.....AND IT DOES!!! THANKS for this invaluable tutorial! And to anyone else who reads this comment, if you want an accurately pieced strip set, watch this tutorial and follow Rob's instructions.
Oh wow Linda, thank you for a great endorsement, knowing one person has benefited makes it all worth it!
Thank YOU
Excellent teaching.
I really like Michael Miller fabrics. I enjoy watching you too Rob, your enthusiasm is catching! Sew on brother!
Wow what a beautiful post I love it , how are you doing doing and I hope to hear from you soon🌹🌹🌹
Great pattern. I am into quick and easy right now. Michael Miller makes the best fabrics. Big fan of the Fairy Frost line. You do the best videos.

Also, ty for these videos and for your help for us brand new quilters here! 🙏
Thank you for new lessons learned, reinforcing skills, & an awesome new pattern! It doesn't get any better. 🌟
“Waterskiing behind the fabric” ha ha. Love your humour which makes your videos much more interesting than just straight teaching. That remark will make it easier to remember the point you are trying to get across. First starting watching you on Missouri Star. Glad I found you again.
When squaring up your fabric and cleaning that first edge, to make sure you've gotten the whole length, once cut, let the tiny sliver open up. If it is one wof (width of fabric), length you got the whole length square. If it's in two or more pieces it's still not squared and it needs cut till it's one wof cut. Hope that makes sense? Sometimes you can't see underneath and this method prevents a narrow section in your strip cutting. Love your tips and tricks. I too put lines on my ironing board to prevent grabbing that 3ft long ruler, which kept falling over on the floor when not using it, and this method keeps your ironing squared and stops any wobble. Easy tip to continue to stay squared all the way through the process. Happy sewing Rob, you Rocked this video once again!!!!
I am in a wheelchair, when I cut long cuts of fabric, I use hand weights to hold the end of my ruler. It also helps to have a ruler with a rough side that does not slide. Thanks for the great tips!
FIRST TIME!! OMG thank you!! I am a brand new sewer of anything. Thank you for going slow and explaining everything! Thank you for explaining pressing. No wonder I have quit even trying to sew. Now I am super excited to try again!!!
Never give up! Use mistakes as learning opportunity! Mistakes are best teachers,as more we mess up,loose time and even money,more we learn at the end and more lesson stays with us...especially when picking up new crafting technique and when don’t know almost nothing about craft,know ahead you’ll make ton of mistakes,accept them ahead of time,embrace them.more you will value every lesson,every wow moment when you realise how to avoid problem and when you’ll become grate at what you do you’ll know you got there cos of you’re persistence and ability to observe and learn...sewing really just looks easy,but it’s quite complicated craft,craft where devil is in detail and every tip and trick matters...Give you’re self time to learn all about machine,fabrics,problem shooting with bad stitches.Hope you gonna have grate time and gain loads of confidence in nothing of time and create beautiful things,get satisfaction of all process of learning and just doing,just wish you and every new crafter in any craft best of luck and best energy through hardest time-when you’re still learning and gaining experience and confidence,so yeah,never give up on you’re dreams and ambitions,keep in mind that in a year if you keep doing whatever you choose,if you’re persistent,you’ll be grate! 💐🤗🍀
Very efficient sewing. You gave lots of smart and informative information. Thank you so very much.
😍😍😍😍😍Wow what a beautiful post I love it , how are you doing doing and I hope to hear from you soon
hi from Kansas City MO
in my reading QHHC, I was a frog like character. had a long life, I was in charge of the group. beautiful colors. it was a happy life. cool
I keep wanting to PLAN too much! The excitement comes from the surprise - thank you!!
I love you because you press the fabric before cutting. Kudos to you besides you are a fantastic quilt player.
glad to see you are as messy a creator, as me 😂😂. hello from switzerland and thanks for all the fun tutorials!
If every seam is 1/4 inch then the width would be 14 inches?? Not 13.5 right?
Sandra Trent but he made the pink fabric a different width than the greens. Which would account for the half inch difference. Beautiful block.
Wow what a beautiful post I love it , how are you doing doing and I hope to hear from you soon🌹🌹🌹
Although I took home ed in HS way back when I never got into sewing machines until the face mask crunch. LOVE your attitude and your clear explanations. You're techniques make my fingers itch to retry quilting. Looking forward to seeing more of your online journey. Thank you!!
Rob, this is amazing. You're tutoring is clear and easy to follow. The length is worth every minute. You're so funny. And your block is waww...unbelievable great. Thank you so much for this very unique block. I ❤ it.
Great video. Sometimes we just need to get back to basics. I learned some new things!! Thank you
Wow what a beautiful post I love it , how are you doing doing and I hope to hear from you soon🌹🌹🌹
Not at all disorganized. I am learning so much and love your personality. You seem to be a bit like me, You are a great teacher.. Thank you so much
Excellent instructional video. Very detailed explanations for even experienced quilters.
My favorite fabric designer since 2006 when I started quilting.
Rob this was the first time watching you . I was very excited to learn how to do this. I did learn something.
Great advice and easily followed, thanks. One extra tip for those of use who can’t reach the far side of the ruler. A small hand weight ,3 lbs or more, will keep the end of your ruler from slipping. From Donna Jordan of Jordan Fabrics. I love the tip about seeing a thread width of the lower fabric. Totally changed my accuracy.❤
Love the comment of you are not waterskiing behind the fabric...makes me remember the one handed lean to see just how far out you could go on the rope...and the tension on the rope was wild...
Wow what a beautiful post I love it , how are you doing doing and I hope to hear from you soon🌹🌹🌹
Thank you for sharing this with us.😊 You are an excellent teacher. YOU demonstrate and explain very well. I love All these tips and 💡 ideas. I'm a newer quilter, and I've learned so much from you. That is making it FUN. 🎉 THANK YOU AGAIN.❤
This is super helpful!! I desperately needed this video today. Thank you so much for explaining each step.
Awesome video, thank you! Love the resulting pattern. So glad to finally hear and see someone who admits the problem of strip sewing by sewing up and down. I've struggled with that method, especially when it leaves me just that little bit short. Sticking with what works for me, which is how you sewed your strips together. Thank you, Rob.
A 48” steel straight edge from Lowe’s or HD to keep your strips straight when ironing….works great 😊
You are so a weird problem solver. Love this so much.
Loved the quilt/ cutting/ sewing techniques. You're a humorous fun guy that helps make our quilting lives more manageable.
Till the next one..TaTa
Lots of great tips. Thank you Rob.
Hello 👋
Found my new favorite teacher ❤
I’m still a novice quilter and really learned so much from this video. Thanks so much! My cutting still needs a lot of work😞.
Wow what a beautiful post I love it , how are you doing doing and I hope to hear from you soon🌹🌹🌹
Stop trolling women. News flash: We don’t like it.
Thanks Rob, that was very helpful & a lot of fun! Now I know how to strip sew (very useful) & I love the patterns it made.
Hi Rob, you are such a mess. I love your energy and the way you teach. Thanks for another great video. Keep them coming.
Wow what a beautiful post I love it , how are you doing doing and I hope to hear from you soon🌹🌹🌹

Hi from England UK very impressed with this strip sewing will be trying it out soon Thanks for your time
That is such a quick and easy pattern with such a great look. I think I will pick it up and make a baby quilt in bright colors for our new great grandchild what is on it's way. Thank you Rob for a really great tutorial 👍 greetings from Germany
😍😍😍😍😍Wow what a beautiful post I love it , how are you doing doing and I hope to hear from you soon
So glad you are back Rob, I enjoy your tutorials ,I love the design the strips have created.Iooking forward to seeing more of your designs,
Wow, this is my first time watching you and I learned so much. I'll be following you for sure!!!!
Rob..... thank you again for being YOU and teaching a lesson or 10 also!! Luv MM Fabrics now because of you
WOW! Love it. You're such a Great teacher. Thanks so much.
That design is terrific! Enjoyed ur teaching.
Learned a bunch and you validated a few things I already do as a beginner! You’re awesome!
Most excellent! You are SO easy to listen to; don't blather on and on about things not related to what your doing [reminds me a little of Jenny, :) ] and you slip pearls of wisdom all through your lesson!! Letting the fabric cool, and new to me, not sewing each strip join from opposite directions. Treating the strips as you do obviously removes the dreaded "bowing" we always get sewing from one direction. Looking forward to attaching the next strip....brilliant! I want to make a quilt for my brother and this block will be perfect. Thank you Rob!!! As always you rock!! :-D
Awesome instructional, informative, FUN video. thank you so much!
😍😍😍😍😍Wow what a beautiful post I love it , how are you doing doing and I hope to hear from you soon
Wow!!! I learned so much in this video - thank you Rob . I’ve made many very beautiful quilts for 7-8 years now , and your teachings definitely got my attention . Thank you ! Will always follow you !
Hi Rob! I love watching your videos. I always learn something from each of them. This video in particular. I have always struggled with strip sets. This has been a game changer for me! SLOW DOWN you said. Change stitch length to 2.0. Seriously? I started sewing strip sets for a Bargello which I have never done. My seams have never been straighter and more accurate. I'm still a smidge off on the 1/4" seam but, I can live with a smidge. They are all consistent now. TY TY TY!
So glad I watched your video. The block is beautiful.
Sorry Rob I forgot to say Well done on Michael Miller ambassadorship! I love Michael Miller. In fact his is the only black I buy! It’s beautiful and truly black and great quality like all his fabrics
Thank you Rob, appreciate you answering my questions I so love the three dudes quilt...& enjoy your videos..
As many strips as I have sewed, there’s always room for improvement, and this video helped a lot! Thank you.
Well Rob you did another wonderful video. I have been kind of stuck in a rut with 2.5 rolls. This is great seeing the variation of widths then making the half square triangles. Great new look.
I totally, absopositivly, ( need I say more?) LOVE your tutorials (designs) as you go along...this is only my 2nd time, saw half n half of this, and you sure are a really good n fun teacher🏅... ive bn quilting for 20 years...and I love to learn more...my teacher retired 3 years ago n I was sad..now Ive found You...I want to coomend MILLERS for having you there👍mary, So Cal (beach)..currently in Miami
Love this video wow what an easy way to make the blocks. Will be making a patriotic block with your method. Thanks gor sharing
You are SO fun to watch! Thanks for being a great teacher.
Thanks Rob. Great tutorial. Love them all, have been watching you since you were Man Sewing
One lady irons and then uses a little spray starch and her work is excellent, her pieces align wonderfully.
Hi from Hertfordshire, UK. Great video as usual, thank for the tips. I start sewing my strip sets from the left, that way you don’t have to turn them upside own.
Me too!
Love hair cut...great tutorial
Hello sweetie wow beautiful
So glad you removed your hat, need to see your face. Great haircut
“Normally I’d have half the quilt built by now!”
You’re hilarious, I love You
I am so thrilled about what you shared. New quilter who's head explodes when I see all the complicated designs. I will use this as my next and only my third quilt. Great presentation!
I'm going to use up my jelly rolls and make some tote bags out of them. Really Gr8 design. Thank you.
Love, love, love this lesson. And I can't wait to make the design.
I always enjoy watching - you inspire me to keep sewing!
