I have been doing them for several years. so much fun. Can do them with heels and boots, etc…I use the tape pattern method…

I love how you said the messy block looks professional. YES. Its cool once trimmed. It just comes together

Thank you

I joined a quilt guild and we are having a show next month. The guild website has written directions for a sleeve, but I just could not wrap my brain around what it said. Thank you for the easy to follow directions!

Thank you for this video. I never expected to show any of my quilts, but have been presented with an opportunity to show some at a non-judged event, so I really needed to learn this technique. Your quilt is beautiful btw.

Awesome teaching😍

Great tips! Thanks😍❤️😍

Omg, gotta go shoe shopping!!! Thanks so much?

Diamonds are a girl's best friend. I love them in quilts. Marking the join line is essential. Eyeballing for mere mortals will not cut it. Another useful alternative tool is Marti Michell's Deluxe corner trimmer. It has line up and marking dot that I find helpful for sewing diamond offsets. It's "Deluxe" because it has an angle for all the blocks to include the triangle in square. Perfect results every time. I mark the seam, then pin it on a pinable surface and glue baste. Everything stays put at the machine. Many ways to skin the quilt cat. (I don't press my seams open). If you like to make lots of 45 degree diamonds, the Creative Grids Diamond Dimension ruler as more visuals to allow for perfect cuts on the top, bottom and on the 45 for every block. It's a godsend. There is not other ruler out there that is better marked. Also it is perfect for mitering you borders on your quilts.

The beauty of these rulers and the blocks is that because there is so much bias in the underlying cut pieces, they use an oversize build and precision trim down. For any blocks with high degree of bias, this combo technique is one that I have universally adopted. It makes my quilting experience more enjoyable because the final product is perfect every time. No toeing in or out on the edges or loss of points where needed. I also migrated these practices to construction a pickle dish block by upsizing the outer brackets...all the difference in the world. Also, their seaming technique of putting concave on the bottom helps ensure that the feed dogs take the slack out of the concave without puckering. I hope that your viewers who are tentative about curves become fearless---because these techniques are foolproof--and you don't have to invest a ton of seat time to get great results. You need about two blocks to get proficient.

do you happen to know what the belt seem to be making a rubbing noise

Great information, just a shame the video is blurry

I just found you yesterday and so excited about the way you sew your scraps. I ordered the scrap tape and it will be here tomorrow. I love this! So many scraps that will be brought back to life. lol

Yes i used my 45 mmcutter messed up my ruler ughh now its either throw it away or buy a new ruler thanks you !

Happy Maker Monday to you! Thank you for your fabulous tips, tricks, & WONDERFUL❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks for the demonstration! I would have been afraid to use a heat away topper on cuddle if I hadn't seen you do it!! 😅

Awesome, THX!!!!

Looks great, but I’m not buying another ruler that only makes one quilt pattern.

I couldn't find the machine needle on your website that you were using. Is there another? Or will you restock?

Awesome Angie. Thank you!

Would my Bloc Loc strip set ruler be useful for this technique of building blocks?

Which one is it though? Is it called daylight warfer on Amazon?

Hello Angie, DJ, Frogger, & ALL of the Monkeys❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you

Love your video, just wish it wasn’t so blurry so I could see what you were doing.

That is so cool. I had no idea that's how you could make Chenille. I can't wait to try this!

Omg! I was ready to abandon epping the borders, even though I spent extra and was excited to do it that way. What a struggle it’s been trying to get them to work… I thought it was me! Thanks so much for the tips!

Great information. I have been holding my pieces up in the air to try to do this 🤣

I wonder if that would help alleviate my disdain for hand stitching. Pulling the needle through is my issue, not as much as coming unthreaded, but just pulling it through the fabric. Hmmm. Will have to think about this.

Love the shirt....." You Idiot "

As a newbie to quilting, I appreciate all of these videos. I had not heard of a snowball in this context until today! Thanks for the great demo.

Hello Angie & ALL the Monkies! Always the best tips & tricks❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your shirt!!!❤

Thank you Angie for another great tutorial! I will definitely try your technique :)

Thank you for this wonderful information. I have saved this video. As a newbie, I'll definitely refer to this when I work my way up to diamonds.

Thank you so much for explaining all the extra little marks and features on the rulers. It may seem very obvious to some people, but as a new sewist, it helps for these features to be explained how they can be used.

WOW! Mind Blown!

❤

I never thought about using t-shirts for this purpose. Thanks for the inspiration!! ❤

I Love it ❤❤❤

I have that ruler. Need to use it. Lol

On this video, you pressed both seams before the Y-seam, down onto the fabric on top of the orange, piece #1. Saying it another way, piece number 1 dies not have to fold on the seam when piece 2 and 3 are attached to it. Is that an intentional part of the process? Does that intentional pressing help with the final seam, the Y part?
