You can order straight from Daisy & Grace and get your templates (clear) not yellow. Her shipping is so fast you would never know it was from the UK. I personally think that the clear is nicer.
Wonderful tutorial. Showing the zig zag was my favorite! You are a great teacher. Being new to quilting and sewing you helped me be confident to do this.
Me encanta el proyecto . No entiendo su idioma , me gustaría saber las medidas de los exagonos,o donde conseguir los moldes de lo exagonos. Gracias por compartir estos tutoriales
I used the RNK turning tool in the video but I've replaced that with The Gypsy Quilter Stitchy Sticks. There are three tools in the set and I use them all the time! Lisa
Help, my three widths are 43.5, 41.75, and 40.5 (not sure how it got this bad 😩) which makes my border about 42 inches making it shorter on one end and longer on the other. Where do I pin the ends? Also, my seams allowances are all 1/4 inch. I think my squares were not the same size. Luckily my width is only 0.5 an inch off. 😅 I feel like this quilt top is not savable unless I cut 8 inch blocks out of it and start over. What do you think?
Yikes! Time to do damage control!! I would check and adjust the seam allowances along the edge of the quilt. Check each seam, often when we are at the end of a seam, we curve a little and the seam allowance is smaller (making the edge of the quilt wider than the middle). Once you've done that, re-measure. Honestly, 3" is too big of a difference and your quilt probably won't end up square anyway...one side will be loosey goosey and the other will be stretched out of shape. If you can get it to be about 2" difference you can work with that. Cut the border the average of the three measurements. Pin the ends, middle and 4 more points along the length...then stitch with the quilt on top and the border on the bottom (this helps prevent stretching the border). Good luck and let me know how it turns out. Lisa
@@loribosecke3165 I was able to get closer to a 2 inch difference. Should I start with that border or should I do my length first since it’s closer to the same size? Hopes that makes sense.
I would do my wonky ends first and see if they lie flat or if they are wavy on the outer edge. If they are longer on the outside edge...you could square them up and then add the long borders to help keep things square.
I love watermelons and plan to be a “copy cat” and make mine like yours. How do you sew the seams on the hexagon? Seam’s toward hexagon or away? Thank you so much for the easy tutorial.
HI Catherine. My roller foot is acrylic and has two metal rollers that are textured. One roller is inf ront of the needle and one is behind. The rollers help to feed sticky or slippery fabrics under the foot. You can get the feet at any store that sells feet for your machine. I get mine at Johnson's Sewing Center because they sell Pfaff machines, which mine is. Hope that helps. Lisa
There are other products out there that are just as good, but you have to cut them yourself to the size you want, which suits me just fine! Sometimes I cut the roll into longer strips to use as a piano border, but most of the time I cut them into 2-1/2" strips and use as inner borders. Gives such dimension to some quilt tops.
Michele, we are just in the process of adding some downloadable patterns, however that is not one of them. That is a printed pattern that we have ordered from the designer, so we are unable to make it downloadable. We could drastically reduce the cost of shipping if you gave the store a call and asked that the pattern be shipped in an envelope. Our website cannot be as flexible as us humans and we would love to help you out. Give us a call! 780-952-5941 or 800-464-9697. Thanks for commenting. Lori
Nice! Going into the video, I didn't think I needed yet another way to make flying geese, but I can honestly say this is one of the most precise methods I've seen. I have all of the stripology rulers except the newest one (not sure when I'd use that), and apparently I have no idea how to use them. I mainly use them to cut strips; I never noticed those other marks!
What is the diameter of that large circle. and I need the dime Dimension of the square fusible lining? I don’t have a template. Whst is the size of your finished quilt? Thank
I love strip tube quilts. They just stand apart from other quilts. Thank you Barb for turning more people on to this quick way to make wonderfully different quilts.
Hello there! Just saw this video today! Long story short. My husband gifted me a Jacqueline de Jonge kit called BeColourful with everything I need to complete it. Well, I've never even heard of paper piecing before, so I took a class at the Original Quilt Expo. It was a different technique than Jacqueline's. I didn't enjoy it at all. 😢 So ok, I'm thinking if I started small with what you're presenting before i start my Becolourful, it would be better. Do you have any other info on getting this one? I hope you can help. Thx in advance.
Hi Pam. Watch for Brenda's upcoming classes in the fall. She teaches both Jacqueline and Judy Neidemeyer techniques and she's done it all. If you are interested in just purchasing the kit with fabric let me know and I can look into that for you. Lisa
I've been afraid to pull out my cards in case I never manage to get them back into order. This really helped me realize I can play with them without worrying.
