Thank you so much for all. Your help with self binding

@suebean3873 4 года назад

What a great idea to double pin all around. I will be doing that from now on. I don’t know why I didn’t think of that before. Duh! Lol. Thanks so much. Great tutorial. All kinds of good tips.

Hi and thanks a lot for another great tutorial! Next time , please, show the whole blanket at the end so we can see what it looks like . Have a great day! 🌸🌸 Quebec

@kathleenmahan462 3 года назад

Thanks for the measuring/cutting tutorial. I started to make a lovey blanket today & stopped because I got frustrated with movement of fabric & inability to make a straight line. 🙄

@denisehrycyk6540 Год назад

I am new to sewing! Thank you for these great videos! I am in LA for a travel assignment.(I’m an ER nurse) I was so excited to find out you are in LA but was so sad to find out you don’t have a retail store 😢. I have used the store locator and have gone several places but it’s hard for any store to have all the fabrics. Do you ever open the store for retail? Or do tours? Thanks for much!

@jbloom1981 4 года назад

Maybe start on the salvage side since it is already straight, and make sure your ruler is staying straight, it looks like you've shifted it back and forth on an angle every time.

@carolynnscoffield440 4 года назад

I was noticing this as well!

@SewJoyful Год назад

I have a question… does the nap run w/selvage regardless if C3 or Luxe etc?

@ShannonFabrics Год назад

Yes! The nap always runs parallel to the selvage. -teresa

Love your videos. You do such a great job at explaining everything. Where can we find the snips at? I really like the large handles.I noticed they weren’t listed in the supplies list.

Thank you! The large handled scissors are from Famore and can be found by searching for Famore six-inch razor edge scissors and can be found at quilt shops and through the company website. -teresa

Do you always cut off selvage on luxe? Appreciate these tutorials. From Texas.

@CrinkleDreams 4 года назад

I often cut them off, especially if they look weird. But if I am going to be able to hide it in the seam allowances or cut it off otherwise, I don't make a point to trim them.

@robertawilkes6531 2 года назад

???Have you sewn on “Plush”, my son purchased the “Plush” from Joann Fabrics & had planned to make a blanket like the tie fleece. He soon figured out he could not do that with “Plush” Any suggestions for sewing on this fabric? I will make it into a blanket, the piece is enormous. Also, I absolutely love your camera angle at the sewing machine! It’s really helpful I learned a lot from this video, thank you, Roberta from Grandville Michigan

@ShannonFabrics 2 года назад

I only use the Cuddle minky plush fabrics because they are excellent quality. If you check out our 10 Tips for Working with Cuddle minky here: blog.shannonfabrics.com/blog/2019/07/15/minky-plush-fabric-sewing-tips and that should be very helpful! --teresa

I’m sewing from Alexandria, MN. Lived here for four years. Now have eleven grandkids that I love to sew for. I started my making pj bottoms for Christmas. Then the girls wanted fancy nightgowns. Another year I sewed double sided fleece blankets plus a pillow case. Baking aprons were requested this year for Christmas. I finished eight aprons before I had shoulder replacement surgery on October 21.

@nancisailormoy9135 4 года назад

using cuddle as a backing do you not need to cut it a few inches larger like we do with a normal backing?

@ShannonFabrics 4 года назад

Yes, make sure that you give it an extra couple of inches on all sides, just as you would with a cotton backing. (-Teresa)

I have lots of leftover Minky fabric. I’m going to try this method of marking and cutting fabric. I am amazed at how you are cutting this super soft fabric. By the time I finish trying to even up fabrics I have nothing left!😂 The way you pin side to side in two rows may help a lot!

What is a good size for an adult blanket??

@ShannonFabrics Год назад

A favorite size is 60" x 72", which can easily be made by using two Cuddle® Cuts. They are 2-yards, precut, that you sew together to create a beautiful, adult-sized throw. --teresa

We recommend using a 90/14 Stretch needle which should work with the cotton lycra as well. --teresa

@janjeffers3462 2 года назад

I purchased a 70 X 64” (2 of them) to sew together as a blanket. How does one cut a minty that is so large to make it even?

@ShannonFabrics 2 года назад

I start by sewing one selvage edge, then evening up an end, then sewing that edge, repeating on each side (the selvages will be even and if purchased a precut, the other ends should be fairly even, as well). You can find more info on how I sew the Luxe Cuddle Throw in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8g_F6XU-z38.html

@JesusisKing222 4 года назад

I have an older Singer and no walking foot. Any suggestions? I'm making a baby blanket with minky on one side and flannel on the other.

@ShannonFabrics 4 года назад

You can find a universal walking foot for your machine, but if you want to get started right away, I would suggest these steps: loosen your presser foot pressure (if possible), pin very well and sew with the minky on the bottom, next to the feed dogs. Sew with the longest stitch you can get on that machine and keep a hand at front and back to guide it through. -Teresa
