Can you put batting inside?

Yes, you could, however, you'll need to either quilt it or tie to keep the batting in place.

Jan, I am relatively new to sewing (late in life ;) this is hands down the best instructional video I’ve ever watched (and I’ve watched a lot of them!). Thank you for taking the time to show and demonstrate every single step…for us newbies it is SO helpful. I’m a “visual” learner and showing each step in this video was a game changer. It was also a great education in squaring up fabric…which is a challenge on its own. I’m so grateful I came across this…it has helped more than you’ll ever know.

@Herabird 3 года назад

Viewers, PLEASE do not leave your rotary cutter open in between cuts as is shown here. Always CLOSE it because it is much too easy to slice yourself by wrongly grabbing the sharp end (especially if the cutter gets covered with fabric like it did in this video), drop it blade down on your foot (ask me how I know this) or otherwise thinking it's closed up when it isn't

@gillianwhaites5974 2 года назад

Agree. It becomes a habit after a while. Close every time!

@Dragonflies08 Год назад

I hadn't sewn anything in well over 20 years and when my daughter had our first grandchild, I was terrified by the proposition of making a baby quilt on a new machine. It took me months to actually start one, even after I collected yards and yards of adorable fabric. After watching dozens of videos, I was nearly in tears when I finally began, but constructed the entire quilt step-by-step with your help in this video, rewinding again and again to make sure I did it right. Well, it turned out way better than okay, and I'm looking forward to lots of other sewing projects. You're the best, Jan--thank you for your reassuring videos! 💖

@@JanHowell This was most helpful. Thanks! May I just bring up a pet peeve of mine? It's a selvage, NOT a "salvaged edge." It's derived from "self edge": the edge that was original to the woven cloth, as opposed to the edge that somebody cut from the length.

I do the same that she does, start from the middle outwards b/c by the time you get to the edge, it stretches a bit, so much better to do half the length each time.

Has anyone done this for a rectangle shape instead of a square? It seems like you just add the 5 inches to the size of the smaller piece, no matter the shape? The first one I tried this on, was a silk and a Minky. Two very hard pieces to match! Didn't come out perfect, but we worked it out. Not the best, but its so comfy anyway.

I love this tutorial, After I watched it for the first time, I have made several receiving blankets but I always like to go back to this video for reference. Every detail in your teaching is very helpful. Thank You so much for sharing your talent 💕

Good video. Fyi. It sounds like you are saying "salvage" instead of "selvage". In my professional life [retired now] I had to proof read items for print outs for speeches. Always very important to give the correct word. Notice one comment using "salvage"
