Great video for a beginner quilter. I could of used videos like these 30 years ago 😊. Thanks FQS!

Thank you for the mystery tip that everyone seems to miss. Putting the line one to two threads over is the one tip I needed. Thank you.

@jacobaddison2929 Год назад

Oh this was so helpful. Thank you. I’ve got so many shreds of fabric because I kept messing up. I never thought about aligning on the bottom like that. Thank you!

Thanks! That used to happen to me a lot. I realized one of the reasons was cheaper fabric that was already wonky. But, all of your advice is a helpful reminder!

@janets2512 3 года назад

May I suggest something? After your first cut and rip, when you find the fabric is printed off grain, turn it around and rip the same edge from the opposite selvege. This will save having to do it several more times and causing it to distort more.

@janetinca4702 2 месяца назад

Not meant as a 'challenge'... what is the advantage to making the clean up cut on the right side and flipping it over?

@ashleyv.6624 4 года назад

Is that cutting mat one of the new creative grid cutting mats? When do they come out? I wanted one for Christmas!

@dalenewilkinson934 4 года назад

Thank you. I know I haven't been careful enough in cutting....your tips were very helpful. I would like to see a video of cutting a large piece of fabric, like when I am cutting borders the long way on the fabric and not selvage to selvage. I have been folding the fabric over many times so it will fit on my cutting board and then slicing through all the layers. It isn't working well at all. I end up having to "saw" through all the layers. But when making a border for a queen sized quilt and not wanting to piece the borders, I just don't know how to accurately cut the long strips. If I just cut the whole long strip without doubling it all up, the weight of the fabric pulls it out of shape and I don't get a good cut that way either. Help!!

@janetflint8202 4 года назад

I had a border print I had to do that to. It was easy as I opened out the whole thing and was able to follow a design on the print with my ruler to keep it straight when cutting, but I haven't done a solid fabric yet. I think if your fabric is square an has a clean cut you could line the bottom edge of your ruler along the clean cut then clean cut your selvage, then fold as you have lining up the selvage clean cut edges, then cut the width you want it should bee good if everything is square and straight. Good luck

@stormyg1945 2 года назад

How do you determine where your selvedges should have been if they've been cut off?

@FatQuarterShopTX 2 года назад

Hello Gay Storm! You can try pulling the edges of the fabric, if it's stretchy that is the bias which goes against the grain. If the fabric is stiff then either side could be the selvedge.

@marytillman372 4 года назад

Are you cutting the length of the fabric or selvage to selvage?

@FatQuarterShopTX 4 года назад

Hello Mary! Krista is cutting selvage to selvage.

@francaroon9986 2 года назад

Please consider doing a cutting video for a left handed person. We want to cut accurate but only have right handed people to guide us.

What if your ruler is not as long as your fabric. Can you fold material again?

@FatQuarterShopTX 7 месяцев назад

Hello Shamolnar! Yes, just make sure you have a fresh rotary blade.

@imagatorvetmom 4 года назад

You didn’t tell me what I’m doing that causes the boomerangs and what I need to do to stop cutting them with bends, elbows, etc.

@janetflint8202 4 года назад

Make sure you fabrics is square, maybe watching the video again. Or check out videos for squaring up your fabric

@getskilledalot3834 4 года назад

What she's doing here, squaring the fabric, is the solution.

@stitchinginthebarn8307 4 года назад

You may not be matching the selvedges so you have them parallel with the fold. If you have a lot of space and a big mat it's easier to make sure everything is square. for less space, Meeting the selvedges together, letting the fold hang and observing if there is any kind of wonkyness to it helps. slide the selvedges left or right until the hanging fold looks even. if none of this helps, you may have to cut single layer. Maybe cut your yardage into fat quarters if your pattern allows. If you are working with 2.5 in precuts, some of them are bent to begin with and you have to trim out the folded area.

@janetflint8202 4 года назад

I match the selvage's and hold them while laying it on my ironing board then smooth out the wrinkles on the folded edge with my hands and iron, I never get a boomerang in the middle.

@laureneberhard1577 4 года назад

This lesson is incomplete. You never tell us how to align the fabric so as not to get angles at the fold. My fabric is never that straight at the selvage and fold without a wavy area in the middle. Missed on this one in my opinion

@dallastaylor5479 4 года назад

Exactly!!!!!!!

@newbengraham4775 4 года назад

that was the first thing i noticed.

@janetflint8202 4 года назад

That's true, when you have those wrinkles on the folded edge you scoot one side of selvage one way or the other till they are gone, and yes it wasn't explained property. Take your fabric, line it up as you have then lay it on your table or ironing board and smooth that wrinkle out with your hands, it should now be straight, works for me. You can also find videos on you tube to show you how.

@rosevanguard 4 года назад

That's a thing with you tube -how to -vlogs, there is always something missing or something that isn't fully explained. I usually watch several different vloggers and piece together instruction on what I need and want. It take time.

@dallastaylor5479 4 года назад

But when the fabric is straight already as in the video it's easy. The hard part is realigning it to get it straight and that's not addressed at all. It would be much more helpful if you had a truly wonky piece of fabric and showed how to realign it so it was straight. Missed this most important part.

@denisepineda1788 4 года назад

I don’t understand why you straighten the edge on the right and then flip the fabric around rather than just cutting on the right. No comprendo

@michelestoneking2540 4 года назад

Denise Pineda the straight edge is now on the left and the ruler measurement is on a straight edge. She’s right handed and so cutting is more accurate and easier if you cut on the rh side of the ruler.

@haylaebay Год назад

My problem is the pattern told be to buy 4 and a half yards of white and now it is too big and I can't line anything up, I am so confused and frustrated and everytime I cut to straighten things up, it ends up being crooked still
