I loved your "Man Sewing" videos. I'm happy I found you again.

@RobinsDocumentedLife 3 года назад

Excellent video, Rob! Not only do I love to learn different traditional blocks, I love to hear the history behind it!!

@makingitfunwithmichaelmill8161 3 года назад

Thanks, the history was why I wanted to do this one, it was really fun, so glad you liked the different info.

@cathynuytten798 3 года назад

Me too. I know many patterns do have stories. That would be a great idea for a series.

@marygrace7538 3 года назад

Never understood the math of a log cabin... now I get it .. great video .. thanks Rob

@makingitfunwithmichaelmill8161 3 года назад

Sometimes things can get so complicated, so blessed you enjoyed my approach to the calculations .

@pirjoraila4605 3 года назад

If you sew the center on a long strip and cut after, you do not need to know the size. Just keep the seam allowance the same so the blocks will end up same size.

@AnitaSouthall 3 года назад

I've written down log cabin instructions in a sewing journal. That way you have a permanent record to refer back to. However I found his add on instructions helpful for any size strip.

@sharonjohnson7458 Месяц назад

Not too long ago, I decided to look into quilting. I have made 3 I spy books for 3 little great granddaughters, they love them. SO, I started to branch out and try some of the easier quilt tutorials on You tube. Today, I happened upon one of your videos, and I have watched the 9 path, the log cabin, and the one with the purple and green strips and the pink in the middle, that made an awesome block. I do want to try that one. The reason I am writing this even though the videos were made three years ago, is because I bought a fabric cutter from Grace Company called a true cut cutter. The way you hold your cutting tool, I think you would love the true cut brand. It is made to be held the way you hold yours. After three years you may have found it also. If not you might want to check iit out. Love the things I have learned from you so far and I am going to search for some more current ones, Keep them coming.

@margohill3149 3 года назад

Great tutorial ! I love the way you explain how to do things correctly right from the beginning! A lot of us have made LC blocks that came out a bit wonky because we didn’t know any better. Now we can try again and do it right! Bless you!

@AnitaSouthall 3 года назад

Did you hand stitch the whole thing? I don't understand how you could baste a whole block in advance for a log cabin block

@vickichandler5872 3 года назад

Great tutoria! It's math-tastic... 😁 You've really made the math easy to understand, appreciate it so much. Lovely blocks. Kinda funny when I saw the block with the darker strip in side of on the outside of the block. I thought to myself, hmmm I don't know about that. It's kinda off. Then when you showed the layout on the wall, I LOVED it so very much! 💖 Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and expertise. Blessings to you and your team.

@kathymarlowe2164 3 года назад

After carefully placing your first three logs in the correct order, if you add your next piece (or log) to the side that has two seams and not one you will always move around in the right order.

@judytyler1870 3 года назад

I have been digging through all of my UFO's. My oldest was started in 1982! It is the one and only log cabin I ever planned. I tore my strips becaue it was pre rotary cutters for me. I actually want to finish it up this year. I will see if that is possible with all of those frayed edges! I loved this video and your beautiful fabrics! Thanks for posting!

@betsybeadhead Год назад

For me, the easiest way to keep up with where your next block goes is to always turn your work to the left. Sew a block, turn the work to the left, sew a block, turn left. Repeat until done.

@chrismattison621 3 года назад

16:28... "That will quilt out"... famous last words. I have seen a lot of wonky log cabins that weren't meant to be.

@AbisDen Год назад

16:00 absolutely correct. I find a lot of people do this. I’m a dressmaker and it’s more obvious. New to quilting I’ve found the edges are distorted because of this method

@AnitaSouthall 3 года назад

Go to your Google play or Apple store and type in LAYOUT. Download it then experiment until you are familiar how it works. It is used through Instagram to make say 4 squares of one cake picture to make a collage of a 4 pictures in one post. Same techniques but with a single photo of a quilt block. You can rotate, edit, make it colour or black and white to test your colour values and tones.

Why do you not sew strip on then cut? I've learned quilting as strip quilting. Much faster. What is reasoning of the way you do it. It seems to take much longer.

@eurydiceallen7412 2 года назад

what model is the Juki you are sewing with?

@urbanhomesteadingchannel1813 3 года назад

I love the log cabin block. Its easily my favorite block. I do have a question though. I'm color blind. Quilting for me is a challenge because of that. The poor associates at JoAnn Fabrics know they're in for a fun time everytime I go in because I'm constantly asking what color something is. So that being said. Are there any tricks or tricks you can recommend to help make the fabric selection easier? I made what I thought would be a simple black and white with a hot pink center square for my daughter and son-in-law to represent there wedding invitation and it was a nightmare. I then did a "simple" pastel floral with tiny floral pattern. Easy right?! Nope still sent my senses into overdrive. HELP! Rob you are the best. If you can't help me I need to pack away my machine.

@bookreader8655 3 года назад

Jordan Fabrics sells log cabin block kits. All the pieces are precision cut along the length of the fabric so you don't have to worry about stretching as you work. I have trouble with matching color, so I purchase the kit from them.

@makingitfunwithmichaelmill8161 3 года назад

Color blindness is a real problem that many quilters have learned to work around, please do not give up. Some folks, like my friend Jenny Doan, do not love to pick all those fabrics... just too many choices, so she uses PreCuts - all of the fabrics will coordinate most of the time. You may also wish to quilt in "Value and Scale" not "Color" - again - pick a grouping from a collection - then pick about 7 pieces from that line, 1 ex Lg, 2 LG, 1 -2 mediums, and 2-3 smaller prints- all from the same line. Use basic patchwork patterns that are more generic in design, so they will work great with many different lines. Also, Photos in black and white show value, you need a mix of shades. Grab some ruby red glasses, and wear them into that fabric shop, yes folks may going running the other direction, but you will be "Seeing" a whole new quilt shop!

@AnitaSouthall 3 года назад

Have you considered trying a plain white with any other fabric and piecing together half square triangles. Then get help with layouts from a trusted friend when you have enough made all same size? If I was colour challenged I would try that rather than stop sewing. I've learnt that even my husband from the USA calls colours by different names than I do. A blue green he will call it blue, I call it green. We all have challenges to overcome, don't let yours slow you down. Good luck and happy quilting. 😊🇦🇺👏

@kathrynerickson1145 2 года назад

Hi Michael, Haven't done this before so hope it goes ok. I appreciate your detailed teaching. I am in the process of making log cabin blocks so you are helping. Anyway, I see you are using the Panasonic cordless iron - I also have one and do like it but thinking it doesn't get as hot as corded iron and also the steam option I question. Do you have any issue with the iron like this? Thank you!

@helenstevenson9008 3 года назад

Hi Rob 👋 hope you and all your family are well. A quick question if I wanted to make a 11 1/2 inch block with 2 1/2 inch wide strips what would be the cut logs have to be? Hope you can help me. Thanks 👋🇦🇺👏 Great video .

@luisejones6610 2 года назад

Rob I came across you whilst watching a Jenny Doan tutorial (I think you were doing a skateboard quilt) and followed you as I'd never seen a gentleman quilter. I am glad to have found you again and back to enjoying your tutorials. I have a question for you. I have seen a block that looks like a HST BUT 1 half is a checker board. My question is.. How can I make this block? I've been imagining using some kind of 9 Patch with a solid square placed on top and marked the same as regular HSTs but ALWAYS I end up with the checks along the diagonal looking too small or almost none existent. Have you any tips on how to get those pieces to look like they're made from the same size squares as the others that make the chess/checkers board design, please?

@makingitfunwithmichaelmill8161 2 года назад

Not sure that I am following the question, you are welcome to email me at Rob@Michaelmillerfabrics.com but I would make a full square that is the checkered block - make that finished square 7/8" larger than the HST you want. Then Make a Solid Square that is the same size as the checked block, lay them Right sides together, draw a diagonal line on the back of the solid block. Sew 1/4" on either side of that line, cut on the drawn line. That should yield two HST, featuring one side as solid, and the other side as checkered on point. But again, not sure if that is what you want. I do think it is what I want, and now have to try this myself, thanks for the inspiration !

@savinggrace70 3 года назад

Hi Rob, I am making an identical version of your purple and green cabin block for my other half as a surprise quilt as he saw me watching your video and commented that he really liked it. I have managed to find most fabrics but what I want to know is the colours you used for the solid colours in that quilt block. One is a blue, one a green and one a yellowish. Please can you tell me what they are so I can match them up. I would be so grateful if you can help me.

@kayceegreer4418 2 года назад

FYI "press" means to lay the iron down and not move it, Therefore Pressing the item in place not moving the fibers in the fabric. "Ironing" means applying heat and moving the iron around, which comment in piecing the quilt or garment can mean that you can misalign the corners into a wonky shape depending on how you move the iron. If you're not aware of this and then you go to true or square something you find is off and you cut it after you sew it together and it gets washed that place will be puckered. This is where using too high a temperature for the fabric tent can be disastrous. Heat sensitive synthetic content in the fabric can be altered and made crispy or scorch even melt, especially if you're scrapping. Press means press. Iron means iron. There is a difference, and it is helpful to know which method to apply or employ for the different jobs at hand.
