Welcome! I'm Cristy. I'm a quilter, and own Purple Daisies, LLC - a online quilting educaiton shop. Sew Much Like Mom.com is my place to share what I've learned from my mom, Sharon Schamber, and pass it along to you. All of my videos are based on techniques developed by my mom. I'm sharing them with you, in hopes of helping you become a happier quilter.
have you tried wrapping a thin layer of paper around the screw top It might reform the groves to match. very vague, but am sure all can figure out what I am saying .
Watch out for that rowenta iron. I had 2 of those small ones catch fire. After contacting the company they told me they are not for quilting because they should not be used for more than 20 minutes at a time and then they must be turned off. they are travel irons only!
A Teacher? You should then know you that you do not learn anything on accident. It was by accident. If you really are a Teacher thank you for the work that you do. Please do better in this sort of incident?
How do you keep the glue tips clean when not in use ,?? Love to quilt but wanna do this other half paranoid washing the glue tips in a sink so I rinse them out in a stationary sink ,still isn't happy with me
Thank you for this excellent video! Now I really understand the technique. The explanation and demonstration is clear and very helpful. Liz, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia
I looked up Elmer's School glue on a search to find out if it was archival or not. Uh oh, it is NOT archival. So, if you are making a quilt to pass down to heirs, this is not a good idea to use. But, if it is for a child or for just ordinary household use, then go ahead and use the glue.
I have a bottle, the back is blue but different from yours. This glue business is totally confusing. I have been putting some in a plastic cove and using a cheap q-tip to apply…..needless to say it can be messy at times.
I am a novice quilter and found your video most helpful to give me the confidence to try your method. I look forward to watching more of your tutorials. Thank you so much!
Hi Cristy. Thank you so much for your video. Found it very informative. I especially liked the binding basting. Will try that next time. I used to live in Ahwatukee right next to you. Now in Henderson, Nv. Look forward to your next videos.
Does the smaller arc gets pressed one way and the larger arc is pressed the other way? Or does it matter? I’m concerned that the fabric won’t lay flat.
So glad I found your video. I'm a quilter and bought elmers glue bottles. Not even aware of this problem. I'm going to check all my bottles for the blue mark on the back. Thanks for the info.
I have been quilting for over 35 years and you just taught me a great new way to sew my seams. Thank you so much for a great tutorial. BTW, I had the privilege of taking two classes from your wonderful and talented mother. I still use, and love, the pressing board I bought from her. I bet the one you used in this video is the same one. Plus, the wall quilt I learned in one of her classes, Curved Seams is still glued together. I love showing people that quilt. Not a stitch in it yet. Too funny.
Its amazing that setting the glue can be so quick and that you can sew the glued seam immediately! I assume gluing to the inside of the seam means gluing to the left side of the stitching? Am I correct?
I began glue basting when I first saw your Mom's binding video and then saw your work. I love glue basting ( I call myself a serial glue baster): It eliminates finger pricks; allows you to easily assemble and stack pieces for chain piecing; stabilizes biased edges. I do not open my seams; I spin them. (If you are a serial seam pressed open person, glue basting not a good choice).
Thank you for,this video. I’ve started glue basting also. Just want to add that this same glue is available in small plastic bottles with precision tips on Amazon. I got 12 for about $5.
Gees! I had the idea to quilt the seams with colour thread after sewing as usual. But your way is spending time ! Thanks a million times! Love love the result and the way todo it!
