Here is another video of how to make the popular Folded Fabric Star, based on Scandinavian Paper Folding tradition. ENJOY!
(4) 4" x 16" strips of fabric or (4) 3" x 14" strips of fabric. Both work well.
I have used Original Morris & Co. fabric for this demo
Strawberry Thief (Red) and Marigold (Green)
Thank You!

OMGOSH you are the 5th video i watched for this simple beautiful craft. YOU are the first one to make it crystal clear!! Thank you.

@michael.quilts 8 месяцев назад

Yay! Glad this one worked for you!

@nancyseeley2041 8 месяцев назад

Clear, concise directions. I'm a visual learner and very much appreciate your post!

@kathleengerwien845 Год назад

Thank you so much! I had cut the fabric and tried to make the star with another RU-vid tutorial and was in tears as I could not figure it out. Your step by step instruction, in particular, the box set up was what made a difference for me! I really appreciate it as I plan to make at least 10 of these stars this year as part of Christmas gifts!

@michael.quilts Год назад

So glad the video was of help to you! Happy Holidays!

@rufinaperez8500 Год назад

I agree. I tried two other tutorials and I was so frustrated but this was the BEST. I keep referring back to Michael's tutorial.

@suzannelaing2968 6 месяцев назад

Check out the Moldavan star which starts the same way but with nearly 50% longer srrios which are used to make 3D points, 4 on the front and another 4 on the back. Not so easy to store but can you can use paper or ribbon, even florist ribbon, for both. There's even a sewn one that used quilting methods to stitch shapes together but I only found part 3 where she was assembling the star slowly. Now that Chrustmas has just past, I've hit a rich vein of Chrustmas crafts on RU-vid!

I have watched several other video tutorials describing the process for making these Scandinavian Stars. Your video is by far the Best in terms of slowly explaining the entire process. However, I will most likely rewind your video to watch but, yet a few more times to fully immerse myself in the correct process. I am new to your channel & look forward to watching your other video tutorials on quilt making. Thank you.

After watching 6 videos covering star making, I can definitely say this is the best. TIPS TO PEOPLE WANTING TO MAKE STARS……The starch, the ironing and the glue are keys to success. Also, when ironing the strips, make sure the edges are exact. The clips or clothespins are necessary when assembling. Thank you.

@susang1952 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for the nice video. However, you did not mention the folded edge and the two fold edge side of the strip. I presume it has to have the 2 fold edge toward the center.

@michael.quilts 7 месяцев назад

Good point! I probably was not even thinking about it when I filmed this a few years ago. I see that some of mine that I have made are not consistent, but if I were to film this again, I would probably put the double folds facing inside as I arrange the strips into the square "hashtag" formation. However, the final product really looks fine however they land - perhaps more professional looking though if you are mindful of that fold. Good tip! Thank You!

@KarenCashatt51 Год назад

I’ve watched the video and gone back over the transcript…unable to find what the measurements are for the 4 fabric strips. Can anyone help?

Hi Karen. I show that briefly at the beginning of the video. Strips I used were 4" x 16". 3" x 14" also works well.

@nancymills7064 6 месяцев назад

Where is the lengthwise fold...on the inside of the box or the outside?

@michael.quilts 6 месяцев назад

It doesn't make a difference how you start with them. In the video I see that mine are not all consistent. What you will find when you are finished is that the star points all have a double fold on the inside, no matter how you start and the outside of the star points do not have a fold.
