I was planning on making quilt tops for my kids and letting them pay for machine quilting. This is so much better. I can give them a completed quilt. I can't wait to get started!
I am so glad you allowed comments for this video. I don’t do Facebook, but wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying your tutorials. I have already made a small lap quilt using your cover strip method and loved the results. I’ve also joined your recent quilt as you go along and am looking forward to put it all together. You and your daughter are doing a fantastic job on you tube, I have bing watched all the videos. I look forward to seeing news about new ones in my email. Thank you so much! From Winnipeg Manitoba, Canada.
Thank you, you are most welcome! The quilt that you mentioned is called the Charleston quilt, it was inspired by Art Deco, it will be a PDF pattern soon.
I made my own light box and after searching the internet there was a youtube video showing you how to do this, you use two large wooden photo frames, the actual hard cardboard backing that comes with the frames and the glass (make sure the photo frames have glass not perspex or plastic), hot glue gun, butchers white paper or any that are the correct size and I bought 6 of those small had sized touch and press flat lights that have batteries, the ones you might use to light your way upstairs, I'll try to take some photos and post them so all can see as visuals make it so much easier to understand.
I love your videos, they are so informative . I've bought 2 of your e books. This method is so wonderful for us, quilt top sewing challenged. No more quilt tops hanging around undone. Such a confidence booster and instant gratification. You are the best in showing all aspects of QAYG. I'm planning on buying more patterns, and wish you much success with this channel. Happy you enabled comments, please keep doing what your doing, you're amazing.
Love your videos, I’ve had a quilt pinned together for eight years and I am quilting it at the moment. You’ve given me the courage to have a go. Thank you. I was going to undo it and make it a quilt as you go but decided not to and just dived in lol. I want to finish it as I’m presently doing a 12 block appliqué/ embroidery quilt well the blocks anyway. I will QAYG it when finished.
I am so very happy to have found your tutorials. Such lovely creations!! Do you design your own fabrics or do you have a preferred place to purchase them?
love your videos so educational. 2 questions, where do I find the block of the month please? iv been following you for long time and still cannot find out, also the hearts done with the thin scroll they are beautiful but could you show the back of them so i can see what they look like. thank you
Thanks Missy! The block of the month is starting in mid July, we haven't put the information out yet but it will be soon, to receive an email with all of the details please sign up to receive our email newsletter on our website: www.patternpoole.com I'll do a video on how I made the heart quilt and will definitely show you the back.
Sorry, I'm not familiar with this ruler so I can't give you an accurate answer. Perhaps join our Pattern Poole Sewing Facebook community and ask the group: facebook.com/groups/patternpoolegroup
@@PatternPooleTV As if you haven't got enough to keep you busy but I do think a tutorial on making a light box might be very helpful for a lot of people as many probably can't afford to buy one, just a suggestion Monica and I do know how much of your time is taken up preparing, videoing, editing etc to get your tutorials ready, cheers Robyn
Hi Robyn, funnily enough as I was showing my silly makeshift light box our videographer was coming up with lots of great ideas on making light boxes so we might just add this to our to do list and you're right, by the time you have purchased everything you need to make a quilt not everyone can afford a light box.
@@PatternPooleTV also the reason I made it to use with battery lights was to have it mobile and not be bothered by finding a power point and an extension lead as is often the case, looking forward to your video as I know so many others will be as well😊
Hi Maria, You will find it on the Facebook group under FILES or click on ANNOUNCEMENTS and scroll down to find it. I use a Sewline Trio Marker, I've also just posted info on this in the Facebook group.
Puckers occur when the bottom fabric is solid and the top fabric is flexible. As you sew, the flexible top fabric is pushed along by the presser foot which is most probably making the pucker at the seam where you have it pinned. FYI: The across ways grain (weft) is slightly flexible and the down ways grain (warp) is solid. Where possible, sew with the more solid fabric on top. If this is not possible, pin the fabric pieces together with the pins going across ways, spaced about 1 to 1 1/2" apart and hold your work taut from the front and back as you sew. Or use an awl, spike, large pin or your un-picker to ease the fabric towards the presser foot as you sew. I got carried away with this answer lol. Hope this helps.
