GREAT video and presenter/educator! :D I have been seeing a lot on the web lately about using sergers for quilting, I like that this quilt is so easy to make, I'm definitely going to make one, or two!, when I return from retreat next week! Thanks!
Love this video and will start one right away! She is also adorable! Question: would using a 3 thread overlock have any advantage over 4? Less bulk? Not sure it would be strong though..
You could definitely piece together a quilt using a three thread overlock. You are correct, it would be les strong, but when you piece together a quilt top using a sewing machine it is only with one stitch as well so comparatively it would be fairly similar.
Thank you so much for the wonderful instructional video. I just found this, so may be too late to ask... where did you get the felt for the wall? Thank you .
Hi! For this particular quilt she used one jelly roll that had 40 strips in it. The size came to a small lap quilt or large baby quilt approximate size. If you want a bigger quilt just get more than one jelly roll! Happy sewing!
Hi Sharon, there is no video for that other quilt made by us, but you can find the pattern here: sewing.net/products/block-talk-sgd056 It is beginner friendly and a quick make! Happy sewing!
Hi Christine, I chose to use this as my backing: sewing.net/collections/kaffe-fassett/products/kaffe-fassett-coll-august-2021-pwgp177-pink BUT you can use any fabric you like!
Hi there! It is just a different method! Robin explained it nicely below, a serger is usually very fast, and the seams stay strong in the serger stitch. You can also make this quilt on a normal sewing machine! Hope this helps!
Hi! Yes you can drop the blade. Sometimes we like to cut off just a LITTLE bit, but if you don't want to cut any fabric off dropping the blade is a sure way of controlling that.
