I hope you are still reading comments on this video. I have only made baby quilts up to now. I guess I've been lucky because they always matched up. I decide to tackle a twin sized bedspread Yesterday everything was perfect until I got to the 6th row. I couldn't make it line up. Finally, I decided to go downstairs and didn't even know if I would finish it. I started watching You Tube, not necessarily to find a resolution but to relax and see what was happening on Sister Wives! I came across your video and listened. It made sense! I never measured my blocks after I sewed them. We were gone all day yesterday. I thought about your video. I took the row apart. Guess what? I had two blocks that were not exactly the right size. I redid that row and now it is beautiful again. I'm anxious to finish it. From now one, each block will be carefully measured. It seems like such a small thing, but it may have rescued me. I was ready to throw in the towel and forget quilting! You saved me!

@brendasewandsew3634 4 года назад

Awe, thank you Pat for answering my question tonight that I had sent in for your Facebook Live video! Your answer was very helpful and you explained it so well. I’ll definitely try that trick of looking at a black and white image of the block pattern picture and then of a mock-up with fabrics I’m thinking of using. I enjoyed your fireside chat tonight as always and look forward to your next pop in! I can’t wait to see what childhood game we will reminisce about this coming Wednesday as we make whatever block you have designed for us! I don’t know how you do it all, but I’m glad you do! Hugs and best wishes from your friend in Texas! 🤗

I found out from the fat quarter shop, kimberly she sprays really soaking. I am glad I saw that she said charm packs will shrink. I sprayed my fat quarters. At least I know not to spray charm backs and jelly rolls. This is from your episode about your quilt blocks not turning out right size.

@cathielanier9864 4 года назад

Get it done and go on to the next project. Some quilters may not know about the Celine Perkins 1/4" ruler.

@loraa7401 4 года назад

I know I'm a little late commenting, but wanted to thank you for the reminders. Pressing is so important. Recently I stopped using steam or starch even though I prefer them when working with my fabric. But, they do shrink my fabric, including precuts. Using a hot iron without steam or starch has been giving me consistent block sizes. I don't worry about prestarching or steaming all of my fabric before cutting. This has really helped me a lot.

@PatSloan 4 года назад

You don't want to start any of your blocks after you made that will cause a problem. Just starch fabric before you cut and it's not recommended to be starching precuts

@kathleenkroha2063 4 года назад

hello Everyone. from CT

@maggiemae987 4 года назад

I’m kinda new at sewing and starting with quilting. I found your books last night and just from what I read online they are GREAT!!! Answers a LOT of questions I have. Thank you SO much!! You just said about pressing....some ppl say not to press out the seam and some do....plus not to press the that and to press the top also. I’m confused!

@PatSloan 4 года назад

you need to press each seam for nice blocks. If you wait until your whole top is done you will have sewn errors into your blocks with unpressed seams

@maggiemae987 4 года назад

Pat Sloan I do but some say to press open the seam, press both sides, and to use steam.

@patwilson782 4 года назад

@lindakochis5476 4 года назад

Hi Pat thanks for the information on 1/4 inch seam still working on getting it correct recently I was doing hat how do you keep from stretching I think that’s what I did can you help thanks I say get it done

@institches100 4 года назад

One other thing to improve correct overall size of quilt block is weight of thread. It was a life changing with my quilt block. I always use a 50 # for piecing.

@carriedoty4527 11 месяцев назад

It also makes a difference in your seam allowance if your 50 # thread is two ply or 3 ply. I most often use Aurifil 50# for piecing as it is two ply thread.

@Bmon-js2lk 4 года назад

Does that small iron get as hot as a big iron? Correct seams really do make for a beautiful block.

@crishertel 4 года назад

@karlabergwalker3332 4 года назад

Another great Fireside Chat! Thank you, Pat! On that heart quilt, "Get It Done!" I want to make a heart quilt with the Flutter pattern. It is so sweet! I am doing a "Blended Sampler"--blocks from Book 1 and Book 2. Question: When you do a child's quilt and back with Minkie, what do you use for the batting to keep the quilt so soft and cuddly? I want to put Minkie on my Traffic Jam quilt, but I am stumped about what I should use for batting. Thank you! Have an awesome week!

@PatSloan 4 года назад

sometimes no batting or look for a very thin batting that is flexible.

@kgharrill 4 года назад

Amen! Sharp scissors, sharp blades, cutting isn’t a hassle. Have you used the electric blade sharpeners?

@sorayavalle8327 4 года назад

Good morning :) do you have a place where I can see the heart quilt pattern, it is beautiful.

@donnakimball3822 4 года назад

@veraroyce5295 4 года назад

get it done, lol

@maggiemae987 4 года назад

Do you think rotary blade sharpeners work well? It seem like I’m forever changing blades. It could be because I’m having trouble cutting. I cant cut a straight line even using rulers and a mat. I did do a little better after reading a preview of your book about cutting.

@PatSloan 4 года назад

i don't find the blade sharpeners to be useful myself. but you might
