OMG OMG a your bannister rail idea for a sewing ham is brilliant! THANK YOU! I even have a piece I cut from the end of a wooden closet dowel rod that will work perfect. I always iron all seams open any quilt I make. So this will help so so much. ❤️
Wow, your tips/tricks plus homemade notions, are some of the BEST I've EVER heard!!! Thank you so very much for sharing your wealth of information, it's truly invaluable!!! Go bless you, much love and many prayers from Jennifer in Bakersfield Ca 💕🙏
I love you! Thanks. Didn't we do things this way back in the seventies? I feel so much smarter and artistic when I work w/o a lot of devices. Don't go anywhere !🤗🙋
Thank u so much for this video. Am planning to work on a block made from dresden. This video will be useful. Cud u pl make video on those home-made tools. I liked them, but did not understand properly.
That's a great idea. Thanks for the suggestion. Keep tuned. You can also take a look at Creative Spark - at creativespark.ctpub.com for the full Dresden Reimagined class online. Candy
Could you please explain in a little more detail how to use the freezer paper and the center. I wasn’t sure what you meant by the fabric being pulled in around the freezer paper. Thanks.
Hi Patricia - have you ever made yo-yos before? It's kind of the same principle but you don't pull it so tight that it gathers. You'll run a basting stitch in your seam allowance and then pull the stitch to tighten around the freezer paper to make your circle. I hope this makes sense!

We can fix that. Press the seams open first. Lay it out and decide which seam is standing up a bit. Go back and take that seam in just a little bit. Keep going u til it lies flat. Also make sure you have the right number of wedges. Let me know if it works.
Think about it. Back in the school days our teachers taught us how to do everything w/o expensive tools. Thought about that when watching a vid about how to cut a strip of fabric into rhombus pieces. Just need your ruler or mat w a 60 degree angle. Saved $30 that day! Maybe we should check out our old folks textbooks?😀🙋
Or talk to & ask the older generations. I'm sure they'd love the company and conversation and we'll love the wealth of knowledge they give us....Just and idea..lol
