I love all the blocks, they are beautiful! I don't do quilting, I just enjoy your calm channel and all the beautiful fabrics and the end products. You are doing so great.

@teri2941 Месяц назад

Rachel, I have so enjoyed your channel. Your blocks are just beautiful. Thank you for sharing all your work.

I love your color sense, and I might be just a little envious of your Tana Lawn collection! Well done Rachel!

Thank you! I am addicted but have no hope if I need larger pieces 🤣

@pamlacey136 Месяц назад

Beautiful blocks and I am so thrilled for you that the changes you made really helped to achieve the correct block size!! Happy quilting.

@user-Tdunham132 Месяц назад

When you set you scant 1/4 inch with the tool, you might find it helpful to run a piece of painters tape along side and extend down further for early visibility. Never have seen that tool. So helpful!

Well done Rachel!! I bought that book too! I can’t wait to start

@TheHawkeyeQuilter Месяц назад

As others have mentioned, your Aurifil spool looks like 50 wt.; if you are wanting a scant 1/4" you do not want to use 40 wt. thread as it is thicker than 50 wt. Some even use 60 wt. thread (in the top and/or bobbin) if they are looking to decrease seam allowance. As I think I mentioned in one of your other videos, I recently learned that not all wt. size threads are the same across thread brands -- making things difficult for us and another good reason to make a test block. Cool scant ruler. Love your fabrics! Thx for sharing your process. And what a beautiful garden!

Yea for you! So glad you got it. Thanks for the leaders and Enders idea! Now I can sew 2 quilts at once using a rather large pile of 2 1/2 inch squares leftovers from a newly finished EPP project. Love the new pink cutting board, Jean Colorado USA

@cherylh8924 Месяц назад

Hi Rachel, I believe the aurifil is a 50 weight also.

@stitchwithrachel Месяц назад

Thank you!

@dorothyyoung8231 Месяц назад

Aurifil makes several thread weights including 50, 40, 28, and 12. The higher the number, the finer the thread. I piece with Aurifil 50 wt.

@lesleytagovailoa2256 18 дней назад

Oh my goodness Rachel, you are a bad influence I have so enjoyed your video’s of your beautiful blocks, that I ordered Alice’s wonderland book and love it. Liberty fabric is really expensive and hard to find in the states, so I am going to use different fabrics maybe 1930’s. It is going to be a work on progress, as I have several other projects on the go. Working on a QAYG hexagon quilt at the moment, will work on it for a while till I get bored with it. Then I will move onto something else maybe the Alice’s wonderland blocks. I have never made a quilt with five boarders before, so that will be interesting. Looking forward to your next set of blocks.

@maryt2887 Месяц назад

Good for you, Rachel! Cleaning your bobbin area regularly prevents many problems.

@maryt2887 Месяц назад

Lovely blocks! Persistence pays off!

@dorothyyoung8231 Месяц назад

40wt thread is still a tad heavy. When you have a chance you might try Aurifil 50 wt! It does make a difference!

@stitchwithrachel Месяц назад

It might be 50 🤣 I can't read the label very well, a few people are correcting me the comments but I'll have to go back over my emails to check the order but it seems alot thinner than what I was using. It's a mystery 🤣

@dorothyyoung8231 Месяц назад

@@stitchwithrachel you can tell the Aurifil thread weights by the spool color. Starting with the finest thread: 80 wt: tan spool 50 wt: orange spool 40 wt: green spool 28 wt: gray spool 12 wt: red spool So your orange spool is 50 wt!

@@dorothyyoung8231 thank you! Never clever colour coding 😃 I've never used aurifil before but I'll definitely be buying again

Hello Rachel! Thank you for your videos. All are great! I am a beginner (indeed I am). Could you make a video about how to work with the blocks on the wrong side when we are sewing 2 or more blocks and the seams mix eachother... I always do a mess...

@laurelb8372 Месяц назад

I clean my machine regularly during projects and it is amazing how much lint collects. Good practice 😉. Your blocks are lovely. Those leaders and enders are growing very well too 👏

@stitchwithrachel Месяц назад

So true! thank you for watching xx

@maryt2887 Месяц назад

Singer also makes a tool for gauging various seam widths. Same as this one but it’s white and has holes for 1/8 through 1 inch, including a scant 1/4 inch hole. It comes with a plastic bar that you stick to your machine alongside the measuring part to guide your fabric-same idea as using painters tape.

@tracyparris-volkner2721 Месяц назад

Lovely blocks Rachel . How big are you going to make the leaders and enders quilt? X

@stitchwithrachel Месяц назад

I brought the squares precut, around 300 squares of the coloured fabrics, I think, so I'll just keep going until I've used them up. Hopefully, it might be a double... but I never really preplan 🤣

@JennMClinton Месяц назад

Hi Rachel. I love watching your videos. You were talking about highlighting where you are in your book. I am also a knitter and I use highlighter tape to highlight the row I am knitting and then you can lift the tape and move it to the next line. Just wanted to give you that option too. Looking forward to your next video.

@user-mm7sx6ik2b Месяц назад

Thank you for the tip about 40wt thread and scant seam I've been using 50wt thread and relying on a good flat press with a dry iron. It works NEARLY all the time. Your tip should make it ALL the time (fingers crossed)!

@dorothyyoung8231 Месяц назад

50 wt is finer than 40 wt. the higher the number, the finer the thread. I piece with Aurifil 50 wt exclusively and I love it. I find it generates less lint than the average thread.

@joannemcvicar4375 Месяц назад

Rachel , Have you considered starching fabric before sewing ? You use such beautiful fabric ,luv your channel !

@stitchwithrachel Месяц назад

Do you mean with a spray starch or is there something else?

@joannemcvicar4375 29 дней назад

getting it very wet with a spray starch , on video Lisa Bongean of Primitive Gatherings and Kimberly from Fat Quarter Shop swear by it

@kathrynprangnell5272 Месяц назад

Thank you for showing the tips for achieving a scant quarter inch. Could you tell me how big your leader and ender squares are? I want to order some on line but not sure what to look for. Thanks 😊

@stitchwithrachel Месяц назад

Thank you! The coloured squares were precut to 9cm (cm... very annoying when it came to cutting the cream fabric) but I think around 2.5" is a good size as you could also use a jelly roll to have less cutting. Happy stitching.

@UsernameUnkwn21 Месяц назад

Yeah that was my mistake, the labels are so hard to understand on the bottom 🤣

@eleanormason1273 23 дня назад

Rachel, Thank you, you've inspired me so much with this video. I've just finished a year year hand quilting, quilt and have been on the look out for my next project. I've just found it. I would love to use Liberty, but can't get to any shows to pick up the £1 packs. I may look at using normal quilting cotton but not sure if this will work with the book. Any advice you can give would be very welcome. 😊❤️

@stitchwithrachel 23 дня назад

Good morning Eleanor, this is such a lovely book, so I really do recommend it. If you'd like to use liberty, they sell "sample packs" on their website where you get a good mixture of fabrics for £14, the pieces are big enough. Some of the blocks require long strips and then subcutting them, but if you haven't quilted before, you will be able to adapt the instructions

@eleanormason1273 22 дня назад

Thanks, Rachel, that's really helpful, I've ordered the book today and I am so excited to start a new project.

@annecrisp7818 Месяц назад

Chill , I make unequal blocks and my quilts always look good..This is not a perfect world... I think colour combinations are what makes your work lovely and the reason why I watch you ..😊

@janehargreaves3867 23 дня назад

Hi iam going to buy the book and have a go at making some blocks how much fabric do you use per block?I buy my fabric in fat quarters thank you for this fab idea😊

@stitchwithrachel 23 дня назад

Hi Jane, I'm sure you'll love the book. I have been using small cuts, approx 9 x 6 but some blocks have needed 13" lengths so you will be absolutely fine with fat quarters. You'll just need a background colour 💖

@janehargreaves3867 23 дня назад

@stitchwithrachel thank you will definitely give it a go when my book comes x

@janehargreaves3867 19 дней назад

Hi I'm having trouble getting the finished block does the block finish at 6inch or 6 and a half the info in the block says it finishes at 6inch but the construction says it finishes at 6and a half??I'm confused 😕

Hi Jane, I've replied to your comment on my other video, but when the block is complete but not attached to anything, it should measure 6.5"
