EPISODE 47 - Fast and Easy Quilted Table Runner 

I have no idea why people feel they have the right to put others down. You put yourself out here to help others with a hobby you love. Thank you so much. I loved your video

You gave a great tutorial on making an easy table runner. Thank you for giving up your time to share with those of us who need help..God Bless❤️

Don't you worry about, whom ever gets sick listening to you, as you say, " There are hundreds of tutorials where she may go!!!! God bless you....

Jean…watching this in June 2023. Making a table runner for a charity fundraiser. I needed a refresher. Thanks for the great tutorial! Love ya! 💕🧵🌸

Hi Jean - It's been 2 years since I last commented on your tutorial for the quilted table runner and I have made several of these in both Thanksgiving and Christmas themes and they turned out great. I'm making more of them this year for a sale at our church and I must admit, they all sold at our sale. Thanks again.

Thanks for this tutorial. I added it to my “Jean T to do “ playlist. Nasty comments usually come from unhappy people. We are all happy with the way you are! Keep the tutorials coming, and don’t change the way you are just to please them. Ignoring them is the best way to handle it.

Don’t ever apologize for who you are. They don’t have a problem with you, it’s really about themselves. You’re great

Just made two of these this afternoon. Love them! I’m watching this tutorial 4 years after it was posted. You are the gift that keeps on giving Jean. Hope you are getting your much deserved rest. Thanks!!

Jean, you are an amazing teacher. I hadn't even gotten to the end and i was watching and going like 'she explains in simple language and its clear. She repeats the measurements so u dont have to rewind to understand. She skips the self explanatory parts and she even shows us the tricks she used to make it look epic'. Ur a great teacher. Then i hear the end and im like, why do people have to be so nasty. Not everyone is a motivational speaker. But also not everyone can make a good teacher. Even those great orators learnt from teachers who make things simple to understand, great teachers like Jean.. And u should be confident in that. U have found something ur good at and u use it well. Being all over the place is not a bad thing because it helps us ur students to understand. I think such people are only jealous coz they haven't found their own niche. Ignore them. Lots of ❤❤❤💕💕❤❤

Jean, I LOVE your videos! I always learn something new! I sit down in the evening to watch, and I feel like I’m spending the evening with a friend...the kind of neighbor I grew up with back in the ‘60’s. Thanks for taking me home again!

Thank you for this video!! I am 74 years old and yes you can teach an old dog new things!!!! Will practice a bit more and will be able to give them as gifts soon enough.

I enjoyed every minute of your tutorials. DO NOT LISTEN TO THESE PEOPLE. I love what you do. Please keep it up you are a natural.

Your videos are exactly what I have been searching for. You make this fun and I love the way you go out of your way to explain everything , step by step. Your a wonderful teacher! Not only are you fun, bubbly and kind....you are real. I really enjoy your talking and stories and want to say thank you!!!

Dot P. This was my first experience with your tutorial and I was completely delighted. You made the 10 minute runner so simple, you took the anxiety out of doing it. Can't wait to get started today. Pay no attention to the grumps. I found you an absolute delight. Thank you for your inspiration.

Thank you for your easy to follow tutorial!! Shame on the mean people!! Don't let them bum you out, mean people have to live with themselves!! Keep being your sweet self and please keep sharing the LOVE!!❤️

The positive thing is negative people have the choice to move on and watch another video. I enjoyed your video, and I am making two table runners tomorrow from your instructions! Thank you for teaching me this easy project Jean.

Dearest Jean ! You aren't a loser & the table runner is not silly at all ! You've just taught me a way to use a heap of poinsetta christmas fabric without making a total mess with fussy cutting ! The negative troll comments may hurt but please let them make you stronger & more determined to prove them wrong. I love your chatter & talent. Keep the wonderful videos coming please xxx

I love your tutorials. Let the Negative Nellies watch someone else. I think you do a fantastic job of explaining what you are demonstrating. I look forward to every new tutorial you film. I think you have a very bubbly personality and I hope you don't let one rude, crude, person get you down. Be yourself Jean and keep up the excellent job.

Your table runner Episode 47 was just terrific! I love your method because you ARE thorough. I need details. So thank you!!! You are a dear lady. You have to let go of those grumpies out there that criticize you. They have issues, not you. God bless you in all that you are doing!

Jean I love your tutorials. Like you I also am a talker, that's who we are, And get negative comments, you need to feel sorry for these people as they must live in a perfect world .I on the other hand live in the real world. Those of us who do wish that when we come back in our next life we will be as perfect as these people think they are in this life.Laugh Jean you are wonderful

It’s okay to babble. It’s part of your charming personality! Thanks for being so thorough in your tutorials. Keep up the good work. Xoxo

You can't please everyone, but I enjoy your tutorials and look forward to new ones. I must admit, I enjoy watching them more than once, because at my age (70) sometimes I don't catch or remember everything. Great job. Keep up the good work. You have hundreds of people who enjoy your tutorials. Forget the complainers. If they can do a better job, why aren't they?

You do a great job! Don’t let the negative Nellie get to you...though it does hurt, this person is unhappy in their own life, so they have to lash out at others. Keep smilin’! Enjoyed your video immensely!!!

Honey, the haters are gonna hate. I enjoy your tutorials and have watched a few of them over and again. Don't worry about the critics and keep your babbling brook flowing of knowledge and laughter. We all love you.

Thank you for this tutorial! I’m so glad to find one with batting! I can’t wait to watch more of your videos!

I love your tutorials, you are so honest and yourself. You are not a loser.

Jean , I want to thank you very much for the way you explain , you are really good at it , KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK , never mind what some miserable people say , bet they are not able to do as well, Thanks ,

I have made several of these over the last 2 years with your video. This IS my favorite table runners to make. I've done them with fancy quilting throughout on them, and one I did with numerous straight lines which looked so cool with the metallic lined material I used on one of them. On one I used several fabrics in one line and cut them into the sizing I would need to go down the whole thing. I LOVED that look using so many fabrics of the same line. Thank you for sharing your gift of teaching and sewing with a friend. Love that you chit chat as you go ;+) They beautify your home and make wonderful gifts.

I love this runner! You do a wonderful job giving instructions. Forget the negative comments. Keep those tutorials coming!

Wow jean love what you have done for the runners was perfect keep up the good work love all your tutorials , keep them coming

Oh my, ty for this video, I’ve always thought that just the two pieces of fabric were flimsy. I love your details in teaching, and I just love your accent!

Hi jean, thanks for the tutorial on this Fast and Easy Quilted Table Runner. I've made several quilted runners that are more involved but I ready enjoyed the fast and easy one as I want something for my St. Patricks Day table that I can complete today. I have many projects going right now. I never comment but when you spoke of the negative comments I wanted to say, Let It Go negative people are not important to our lives. Have a great day. Nancy Chicago Illinois

Love everything about your tutorials! Don't change a thing! I love how to talk about everything! It's like when you are hanging out with your friends - nothing is staged! Keep doing what you are doing?

I always enjoy your tutorials Jean and look forward to them, they are great fun. Keep up the good work.

you did very well .I am inspired by what you did.Thank you so much.Ignore those haters.You can not please everybody.

Thank you Jean for making this video. If it were not for you and a couple of other videos I would not have my Mothers Day sewing project. I work 6 days a week and there are only certain days I get to myself. I will be making my table runner because of your meticulous directions. Thank you.

Thank you Jean. Love this tutorial and think it's a great way for me to take the plunge into trying my first quilting. Thanks for giving us your time and knowledge.

OMG that person can just unsubscribe or watch someone else! Why on Earth be nasty? You do a great job and I truly hope you won't let someone like that hurt your feelings. Have made the 10 minute table runner and will now add your tips to made them even better! Thank you!

I love your table runner and enjoy your instruction. I was raised that if you had nothing nice to say you were to say nothing at all. The person who left a nasty comment obviously never heard that saying before. Keep doing what you do and be yourself. I think your great.

Hi jean you are brilliant you bring so much joy to us I have learned so much from you.keep doing your videos.thankyou so much.my husband said go girl go best wishes Micky England

I just started to get into table runners and I like the quilted ones, I love how you take it step by step love your bubbly character.

Love this table runner. Thank you for showing this. I love your videos you explain everything so great. You help me to have the courage to start a quilt.

Please don't be bummed!! There are people who are just nasty and like Nothing! Your tutorials are a pleasure to watch. I enjoy your conversations and hope you continue. Smile and put on your armor of joy. Keep up the great work!

I just wanted to let you know that you explained this the best that I have seen so far, I like when people explain in inches rather than yards, and you are the only is who used batting. This is the first tutorial that I have seen of yours, but yours is the one I liked the best. Thank you, your new friend Robin

Thank you Jean for just being you, you brighten my day with your can do ways and your table runner is far from being silly, If that was gifted to me I would be so touched at the genuineness that went into it and which goes into all your projects, big and small. A big hug from Australia😊

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I appreciate your comments and your contrasts of colours. Even the idea of quilting is very good. Be blessed my dear.

I love the way you talk and explain yourself, because sometimes I am hard to catch on. You are absolutely adorable 🥰

I just found your channel. I loved your video and will be watching all your videos. I am so sorry that you had to be bullied from someone who is probably miserable and only wants to put people down. It's delightful to get your personality while learning a craft. Don't change and don't let anyone bring you down. Thank you for sharing your craft with us out here in the crafting community.

Love you and your teaching never stop and I have learned soo much from you👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

You’re a great teacher and explain very very well. A beginner like myself loves the fact that you go to your sewing machine and ironing board to let us see the full process. Keep the videos coming. Don’t acknowledge the creeps, sometimes I think that’s what they want. Delete the comment block and move on. They will give up. They have obviously given up on life and that’s what makes them look for confrontations and think they are bringing some significant meaning to their lives “good or bad”. Thank You ☺️🤠🙏🏻

We need you and your mind set. We need you to keep talking and teaching just the way you do it. That helps me understand what you are showing and explaining. Stay just the way you are. I Love you and your work. Thanks again.

You are delightful and you really show how to do things well. Part of sewing is the comradely of sewing and chatting even if only one is chatting. I love doing your tutorials.

First time I watched one of your tutorials. I thoroughly enjoyed this tutorial. You explain very well. Do not let people put you down they not worth it. Keep up the good work. 🌷

Thanks for a wonderful tutorial. I have always wanted to add batting to these and you helped me learn how to do it. Forget any Debbie Downers out there! Your tutorials are terrific!

Dear Jean: Those nasty people have a problem. You are a great teacher, and you have a great personality. You are willing to share fast and easy ways to sew these. I wanted to do them, but did know where to start! You have given me that path. I am forever grateful... You have such a big heart. That is so important!! ..........Sandra

Jean - thank you! I watch this video every time I want to make a table runner. Your clear, fun explanation and cheerful banter make this tutorial one to treasure.

Ignore the trolls. Your rambling is charming and your tutorials make quilting fun and easy to understand. Thank you for your time and making the world a brighter place.

This was truly an amazing revelation for me - a table runner in such quick time and looks beautiful. Thank you Jean you have made my day!! And loved your tutorial. Remember dont let a small amount of negative comments outweigh the hundreds of positive ones. xxx

Jean, thank you. I just have a little sewing background. I watched lots of quilting videos but decided against trying one as it seemed like such a big and cumbersome project. I watched someone else on a table runner first and stopped when she got into 45 degree angle turns. Then I saw yours. I AM GOING TO DO THIS! i CAN DO THIS! Thanks for making something simple but useful that I can sew! You are wonderful! Folks wouldn't be watching these tutorials if they were accomplished seamstresses! I'm going to look up more of your tutorials and hope they're easy too:) You're great!

Dear Jean I am watching this video on the 20Th August 2021, in the midst of another LOCKDOWN in Victoria Australia. I am in the process of making a table runner for each of my 2 daughters and my daughter in law. You have just given me such great ideas of how to make them. My answer to negative, hurtful words is, Into the green garbage bag they go, and, forgive them because they don’t know what they do. Bless you and your beautiful family.

Please do not pay attention to what other people say. You are very interesting to listen and to watch. Keep up the great job. God Bless you.

Jean, I do not comment often, but I felt moved to tell you this. People who make unkind remarks, are not worth robbing you of even one second of your joy. It is unfortunate that they are not yet evolved as decent, secure human beings. I think of you as if we are both in your wonderful quilting space, with you graciously showing me how to do something that I want to learn how to do. I, like many, many of your followers like and respect you for being exactly like you are naturally. You don't ever have to apologize or put yourself down. You are precious and fun and GENEROUS to allow us to enter your world. I would venture to guess 99% of us, are thrilled to get to do that. Life is short. Don't spend any of your precious time letting any rude and mean spirited goon take that from you. Don't let them "win" by stealing precious minutes. Ruining your day is just what they, in their meaness, want to do....don't let them do that to you. Thank you for all you have shared with us!!!!! You are again, precious.

I appreciate your help in learning how to make a table runner. Ignore the negative people.

Jean, you do a lovely job of demonstrating ...you just have to let the negative people go as quickly as you delete them, I know this is easier said than done, but I have made these table runners before and I still enjoyed watching you. The only thing I did differently was I machine embroidered designs in the center quilted part..turned out really pretty. So just take a deep breath and continue what you're doing, there are way more people that enjoy you than not. Have a great day!!

Oh by the way i have been.going through some very hard personal stuff and you have brought a real smile to my face and making things with you has taken my mind of things so thank you

Thank you very much for this perfect tutorial It is exactly what I needed this afternoon.

I watched you for the first time just now and I think your a fantastic teacher! I don't care if you babble, cos you made me smile,, if you have ADD that's ok too! I like you, the haters are gonna hate, delete them and keep smiling! You didn't give that hater a headache, her negativity did! I subscribed and will be watching you more! Sending you love and likes from Australia

Hi! Jean, Thank you for showing me how to make this beautiful table runner. I can't wait to make one for my new table I just got. Also you taught me how to make a small purse for my sister which she absolutely loves and she gets so many compliments on it, thanks to you. I am so happy you make these videos free and help me so I can see how to make them myself. Take care and don't worry about those inconsiderate people, there are more of us that appreciate great people like you when we see them. Take care, Joan

Jean, those of us who watch u get how u teach! We enjoy that you bring us into your sewing room as if we were right there. Please do not let the trolls get to u! They literally spend all they're time being nasty! They go from one video to the next just being nasty. I feel very sorry for them. To have such a miserable existence that u spend time trying to make others miserable is just sad and sick! Please keep up the great videos. I love how this runner is done and i can actually make one. I know i can do this. Put the idiots out to pasture and try and have a good day!

Hi Jean dont worry about people with negative comments I for one love watching your tutorials. And also think that u have a bubbly personality and please dont let the rude people of this world make u feel unhappy because u do a wonderful job with your sewing and Quilting. Now that you have shown me how to do rounded corner on my quilts when I bind them I will be doing that every time now thanks for that.keep up the good job Jean for all of us Quilter that look forward to all your Tutorials when u make them xx

Thank you Jean you help us newbies to quilting and sewing so much! Often you find when new you would be frozen because you are afraid it will end bad. However with your help you have gotten so many of us from that frozen point into really doing this. I love how you added the batting I was thinking when I saw these before with the two pieces of material how I wish they could be more quilt like. You made my dream come true Thank you for being you I love your videos and find you so much fun to watch and learn from. Don't let the people who don't appreciate you darken your day just know there are more of us who need your help and learn from you. Some people just can't be positive you can't change them.

Great tutorial with your awesome personality! Thank you! Negative people are unhappy with themselves and thrive on trying to make others miserable! We have the choice to surround ourselves with only positive energy, which you have. Looking forward to watching more of your tutorials! ❤️

Your not a loser!! Your a breath of fresh air. Try not to let it bother you. . .they just wish they had your talent.

Jean I love your channel because YOU do explain where others don't. If someone doesn't like your teaching style they can click off of your channel. I look at it this way this is your channel (home) as such I will respect what you do and who you are. PERIOD!!! Your sons were correct thou some people are just nasty. Don't let them get to you, we call them trolls and they are not worth your time nor your wonderful personality. Love YOU CHANNEL BUNCHES!!!!!!! Oh and thank you for the GREAT lesson today I now know how to make a BEAUTIFUL table runner. Hang in there and let the trolls go live under a bridge, :0)

First I'd like to say that I thoroughly enjoyed your video and how quick I can make table runners. I'm terribly sorry that whomever it was that made the negative comment. Shame on them! When all they had to do was turn it off and watch another video or whatever they wanted to do. Glad I found you because the table runner that I was going to make was going to be more complicated than need be! Keep up the good work Jean!

Don't listen to those that hate. It is a sad true, but people that will leave negative comments are very unhappy people. They need more Jean in their life! Every video I've watched of yours makes me happy and smile! And the bonus is......I'm learning how to quilt!

Don't change anything, You are chatty and I luv that. (We Irish love chatty. lol) I have learned a lot today,

So awesome! Need to make one for my Egyptian busts. Don’t let the negative people get to you, just remember one thing: those people who say/do things like that are pretty gloomy people. They are miserable with their lives and just decide “oh I’m going to ruin her day”. When you think about it like that, then you actually feel kind of sad for those people. Don’t let them ruin your positivity 😊 please stay my beloved rambling ADD quilt loving person

you are doing it very well my dear, don't worry about people who do not know how to appreciate and can only complain.

You're hair is gorgeous! You explained it very well! Don't let negative Nancy's bother you! You're wonderful!

For every hateful person you have a thousand people that love you 💜 your offering free help and your followers love you !!! Please don't be bummed . They are not worth your feelings . Yes I say use the BLOCK button !

A brilliant construction, I Love it! I think that person that was mean to you should go suck an egg! Really why are people so mean, you are a gem and a peach and I thank you so very much for being so brave and putting up these videos! I have A.D.D. as well so I know how your brain goes in all directions while you try to focus on the task at hand! Don't let the haters get to you! And right you are about Love, share the Love way too much hate in the world! Your FABULOUS!

Thank you for showing me another quick and easy way to make a table runner. I am going to see how this will work as a place mat as well. I also have ADD so I know all about the organization problems that you have to work with. Just keep doing what you do and ignore the nay sayers!!

I enjoyed the video and I am also a talker, so I appreciated that you explained it very well. I am a teacher and when I read evaluations, I agree it is difficult to read negative reviews, so I encourage students to give constructive feedback and/or ideas to improve, rather than complain without value. I am starting my sewing journey, and I like that you made this very simple with step-by-step instructions, thank you. Thank you as well for your humanity and honesty. Much love in the year ahead.

Do not worry I love so much for what you show us. I am a french canadian. And i understand everything you are saying Do not pay any attention to the bad people. Lovyou

Don't listen to the negative comments. I love your talking, it's like I've come over for a visit. And you are a good teacher. You've had 10 children. By rights, that alone makes you a good teacher. She can go somewhere else to learn. Cheer up dear Jean, I love my visits and listening to you, whatever you are chatting about. ❤❤❤😊

Oh my goodness, my mind went straight to placemats! I saw that watermelon print and thought, that would make a wonderful place to put the meal and then placemats! I'm so glad I found your channel. 😊❤

You give a wonderful tutorial.... people who complain, tune out.... choose what you like. Thank you for your time and sharing your pearls of wisdom.

Your just the right type of teacher every once in awhile you get nasty remarks and mock through comments it can ruffle you up but the best thing to do is remove the comment & person & don't take it personally its not you its them & Smile be thankful you're not the one being nasty & you don't have issues they do & that not you, your kind hearted & detailed people do like you & your very helpful to us sewers, key: don't wear your heart on your shelve & let it off of Of you so it don't cause you to mess up your day...!

I have watched many videos and yours is the one I learned from. I made my first tablerunner. It was fun!!

There is always someone who is negative. They have nothing better to do and they must think they are perfect, but as we all know in quilting and sewing nobody is perfect. I think you did a great job and kept my interest. Hoping to view more of your entertaining tutorials.

This was my first time to watch. I love the way you explained how to make a table runner. I plan on watching on a regular basis. I think you do a great job. Looking forward to many more sewing projects with you.

I have watched many videos on how to make this...Best video on this table runner....I like a teacher that will talk and show how to make this...Thanks

I had a FABULOUS experience watching your table runner tutorial. I am SO grateful. Ignore the negative people. You are a sweetie. I just made a beautiful runner BECAUSE OF YOU!!! Hugs...

Well, I think you taught this table runner just fine. When I saw it, I thought, wow, that is too hard for me, but you showed it so simply and it ended up not being hard at all, quite the contrary, it was very easy and you explained it just perfectly. I am keeping this further use. I have made one many years ago without a pattern, and boy, this would have been soooo easy had I watched your video. Thank you Jean, you're amazing and don't be discouraged by a few negative comments. Not sure why people just don't get off and ignore a video if they don't like it, it's pretty simple. Thank you, I loved this video. Good job. :)

You can NEVER PLEASE EVERYONE ... Once you realize that, piece of cake...... ... I love you....you are a passionate person and you want to share your LOVE of Quilting with enthusiasm... I'm. 63 I'm still learning something all the time.. Have a blessed week!!

Love your detailed explanations! Nice job on the quilted table runner. I've made these runners, but now I'll add the batting! Thank You!

Hi I'm Jackie from West Sussex England. Be strong and ignore people who have sad lives. Your tutorials are great. You are entertaining and exciting to watch, thanks for taking the time to care about people, you have a gift of communicating and teaching, you cannot learn that at school that is something that comes from within it is a gift, do not forget that. I will be making your table runner this Christmas for my family to share.
