This is a fantastic video - so many of my burning questions, especially the approach for cutting to get a straight edge. Your tips and explanations are great! Thank you for creating these first time quilters as well as information on using patterns.

I’m a starching convert. Not only helps accuracy but reduces fraying, especially when Jack the Ripper comes out.

One thing I learned after many years is to have the measuring/marking line on the ruler needs to be on the fabric and not off the edge of the fabric (butted on the outside edge of the fabric) . When I became aware of this my cutting sizes became accurate....

I love to starch it is part of process and love the colours hanging on the line outside. It looks like a grand party!

Thanks Sherri - all of your tutorials are wonderfully presented and so helpful. One thing I struggle with is getting started with a larger piece of fabric. Something that's larger then your cutting mat like for backing. Any thoughts on how to fold and manage those would be appreciated. Thanks again for sharing your gift of teaching and knowledge of quilting with us 🙂

Great series Sherri. No matter how long someone has been quilting they can always pick up some tips or reminders. Look forward to your next video.

Thank You for this !! I have actually emailed you recently about this very subject as well as adding cutting diagrams to future patterns. Those of us with what I call math dyslexia really need all the help we can get. love your videos and podcast

Thank you Sherri. Your timing is perfect. A friend of mine wants to learn quilting. I just forwarded this to her.

I love scrolling through and seeing a video from you! You helped me today and you didn't know it. I was doing block 7, Kindred, for Sewcialites today. I'm behind, as usual. I worked on it from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and could not get it right, watched Kimberly's video over and over, would go so far as to recut 2x. I was talking to my husband and I said, "There was a block like this with the two little triangles and the big ones in Bloom-topia and I got it after two tries!" He then suggested that I go watch your tutorial and BOOM! I got it on the first try. I can normally do anything Kimberly does by watching, but your teacher experience was crucial today, so thank you! Also, thank you for an uncomplicated block on this quilt!!!😊

Just thought I would share. If I wash any fabric I run the cut edge through my serger. It is so worth the time and thread. I make alot of baby receiving blankets from flannel and this method is a hugh help.

@sherrillyoung5890 3 года назад

Great information, thanks so much Sherri 🙂

@debrablue6115 3 года назад

My LQS told me to serge the edges of the fabric before you wash it, so you not lose your fabric. It takes some time, but it has help a lot.

I learned something! Thank you.

I’m new to your channel, why have I not found you before?!?!?! Great video!

@ninad5692 3 года назад

Good tips, thanks! I've been trimming fabric edges with pinking shears and then washing warm (cool if I'm afraid colour will run) in a mesh laundry bag. It seems to fray less doing it that way and I don't really like the stiff feel of new fabric.
