@MizCeeA 3 месяца назад

OMG, thank you! I cannot believe I never thought of piecing to get a larger size fabric. BRILLIANT

@alexien2716 11 месяцев назад

The glue piecing guess game was *chef's kiss*! It can be quite satisfying to see a "perfect" project at the end of your hard work, but if you didn't enjoy the process or were stressed over finding the exact 3 or 4th block, that feeling lingers in the final result. There's relief that its over, not joy that it is complete. Good enough is always perfect. 💖

@nancycox3318 11 месяцев назад

This was a great video - especially showing the extent you pieced for the unicorn! I have found a few times I had to piece some fabric to make a block - but really, what is a quilt but a lot of pieces sewn together. It is actually very satisfying to make do. About #getyourquiltywishesgranted last year was the first year I participated. I didn't post a wish, but I responded to a few. One was a person asking for orphan blocks to sew on clothing. I sent her a few blocks and she was very happy. I saw another woman posted for epp supplies. I had some in a shape I had accidentally ordered and didn't realize it until it was too late to return. She offered to pay postage or send me some fabric. I told her if she had some leftover precuts I could use them. She sent me enough that I was able to make a quilt out of them. It was fun making connections with other quilters that could use items I had.

@JustGetitDoneQuilts 11 месяцев назад

My kind of curtains 😎

@m.m.4645 11 месяцев назад

Hi Karen, thank you very much for your super valuable tips!!!! Some of these I already knew about, some were completely new. Since I -of course- also have some old babies laying around where there is fabric missing due to miscutting I will definitely be able to finish those UFOs. Thanks again With many greetings from Germany 🙋

@bobbinwithbrittany 11 месяцев назад

Quilt kits are so stressful for this reason. I have one that gives you the exact yardage, no room to even straighten the first cut. This video helps me move it up in the to-make rankings

@JustGetitDoneQuilts 11 месяцев назад

That must be stressful. I find the yardage way too much…and you are paying for every square inch.

@susanmei9980 11 месяцев назад

I did that, once, many years ago. I had purchased some small quilt panels and it was the end of the bolt, which was cut very crooked, on the diagonal. Of course, they did not charge me for that crooked part. But I was able to piece a whole other block together from that damaged area; it matched perfectly, and I was so proud of myself! It was my favorite one and I kept it! I imagined pioneer women doing something similar, and it was a great feeling making something so beautiful, out of nothing! These are some great ideas, Karen, and I never thought of most of them! TFS. 🌷

@karenneiman856 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for these tips, Karen. I particularly like the one that suggested looking at other fabrics from the same designer and searching online with the picture (#6, I believe). Love the encouragement to not over buy. I am trying to keep my fabric moving through my sewing room like a flowing creek instead of having old stuff collect like a stagnant slough. Nobody likes a slough filled with dead or dying things! Keep it fresh and moving, baby! 😀
