Thank you- I'm back for you finally a d great to see what you are doing for Hawaiian Quilt- love your variety❤! And ill keep with you, now adays- and keep up with more of your designs and tutorials/ thank you again❤😊
Thank you Susan for this video. I much appreciate it - it a project that I can share with others (sadly non-sewists in the main); with each person creating their own design. A suggestion to help reduce the bulk, please if I may. In preparing the applique fabric before cutting out the shape, would you consider applying Misty Fuse to the wrong side of the fabric? As opposed to a paper-backed product such as Steam -a- Seam2. Misty Fuse is a sheer fusible web with no paper backing. It has a very soft hand compared with the paper-backed products. Also it is not sticky once cooled. So it will not be difficult (sticky) on the scissor blades. When you cut fabric that has been fused with a paper-backed product, you have to cut through (four) layers of backing paper as well as (four) layers of fabric. Also there is the risk of shifting that comes from smooth paper against smooth paper. When a (MistyFused) applique shape is cut out and laid upon the white background fabric, MistyFuse side down, the heat from the iron will re-activate the fusible web and secure the applique shape to the background fabric. PS: I do not work for or sell Misty Fuse. I just like the product and I don't understand why it is not mentioned more in RU-vid videos. Thank you again Susan for the video
My husband and I went to Hawaii for our 25th Wedding Anniversary. I married a wonderful man who came into a Hawaiian quilt store with me and he let me buy some kits so I could make a quilt the Hawaiian way. I let time pass because I thought that I could not do it. Now, after viewing this video and saw how simple you made it look, I am going to pull out that kit and give it a try! Thank you for making this video!
Brilliant! Can’t wait for your new videos how to finish these blocks. I guess I’m going to have to live until I’m at least 120 to get all the blocks on my list completed. 🤣🤣🤣 🧵🧵🇨🇦
Teflon coated fiberglass sheets are a staple for me for pressing sheets. I use the for blocs, fusibles.....I think that they would work well here too. Susan, thanks for demonstrating this techniques. Batiks are such a perfect fabric for this block.
What a fabulous idea, who would have thought cutting out a few holes with a few squiggles could end up looking so fab, gorgeous blocks, thank you. Can’t wait to see the following videos.
Susan, these Hawaiian appliqué blocks are gorgeous. You are a real artist. Thank you 🙏 for the very detailed video tutorial, so easy to follow! ~Diana K.
Read The Aloha Quilt by Jennifer Chaverine and was fascinated how they handmade their quilts. I love that you have shown us how to do the designs and whilst I am no quilter I am thinking I could use this method to make great designs for tote bags etc. Thank you once again for a great tutorial video.
LOVE all your videos - made your hexagon quilt in various tartans with black triangles. It was for my Eye Surgeon and he loved it! Have always wanted to make a Hawaiian quilt - so thank you so much for this lovely tutorial. I am almost finished your Town and Country Quilt and had so much fun doing it! ❤️
Thank you. Your tutorials are so easy to fallow. I was kinda intimidated to do Hawaiian style quilting. But you made it look so easy. Snowflakes would be very pretty on a dark background. My creative juices are flowing 😁
Traditionally, Hawaiian appliqué is done with needle turning, so your technique will help people new to appliqué to learn how to cut and place the pieces without having to worry about the points, curves and inset points to begin with. I think that hand stitching these fused appliqués will help beginners learn the feel of the points, curves, valleys, and inset points/curves before attempting something more challenging.
You could put the outer shape of the one you just cut on a background as well and add the tiny cut out shapes in place as well. Sort of a rob Peter to pay Paul situation.
They look great. I would save the portion left to make, as you said, little leaves, or other shapes. Nothing or very little would go to waste. Thank you. 😊
Could you not make your design and before you cut it out make copies of it? This way if you only wanted one design you could do the whole quilt or if you wanted any array you could do that as well?
I'd like to know how to actually sew them on! And what type of quilting does one do on this? I'm disappointed bc you always teach us REALLY worthwhile techs.😣
