Great idea! 💖

🥳

They are! :)

You are so welcome! It's been a busy summer but I hope to resume our Together We Sew Tuesdays in the fall!

@@coffeecakequiltcompany - Looking forward to it🧡🧵

Aww! That’s so sweet! 🥰

@@coffeecakequiltcompany I am just glad that you are back on schedule ... I prayed that things were going well for you.

I'm definitely trying. I didn't anticipate how hard it'd be with all the kids home over the summer. I'm looking forward to returning to our regular scheduling soon! :)

@@coffeecakequiltcompany LOL ... no doubt. Don't you worry! You have your priorities straight.

Yes! I had that in my video and then edited it out because this is blue glue. I wasn’t sure if it does the same. Totally agree with you though.

That’s great to know!

That’s a great question! ☺️ When needed, I snip into corners or use pinking shears around curves to help seams lay flat. Usually when I’m turning fabrics right side out after sandwiching. This block didn’t need notching and ironed out pretty flat. The quilting should help hold the seam in place as well.

@@coffeecakequiltcompany thanks for answering my question!

That’s awesome! Happy sewing! 🧵🪡

Hi Carol! I move it 4 spaces to the right for a scant quarter. I find that 3 is a true 1/4" SA but my blocks come in small. How do I engage the dual feed? I thought it was automatic. I'd love to see your project when you're done! Do you have an instagram?

@@coffeecakequiltcompany Which machine do you have? I thought all 9 mm Berninas had the dual feed that could be pulled down at the back. It’s in the spot where a presser foot lever would have been. You have to pull it down when the presser foot is raised. I do have Instagram, but don’t often think to use it.

Ah, ok! I have the QE770. When I lower the foot of my machine, I hear the feed dogs lift so I think it’s automatic but I’d have to look into it to be sure. There’s a button on the right next to the power source that you push in to lower them for FMQ.

@@coffeecakequiltcompany I looked up the 770 QE. The Bernina info says you have dual feed. That is something completely separate from the feed dogs and dropping them for FMQ. The dual feed acts a little like a walking foot. It helps pull the top fabric along, but it is not as effective as a walking foot for stitching a quilt sandwich. The dual feed mechanism fits in between the two sides of a D foot. That’s why there is an opening in a D foot. There are lots of TH-cam tutorials about the dual feed.

Oh wow! I had no idea. I’ll have to check it out!

Oh my goodness! I did not. Thanks so much for letting me know! 😄👻

❤️

I agree, it was an impressive item and I can't wait to put it to use!

Lol! They do seem to have quite the assortment and the likeliness of getting one of those fabrics is high. 😆

Thanks so much! It sure does come in handy!

Hi Sharon, I do quilt edge-to-edge for pieced quilts. If you’d like to discuss longarm quilting, my email is coffeecakequiltco@gmail.com.

☺️

Good to know! What does celebration smell like?

Thanks so much! I’ve heard Cape Cod is beautiful! I’d love to make it there one day.

That sounds lovely as well! 🏔️

Sure thing! I’ll be unbagging #6 in June’s video. Stay tuned!

Good to know! I’ll have to try the fig next. OBX is great too!

That’s awesome! Enjoy! ☀️🌊

Oh no! I’m glad you like the rest of the box. ☺️

I hope you get a good one! The scents on the website all sound amazing. ☺️

@@coffeecakequiltcompany I do not like surprises, but I really like grab bags! ... I think I get the best of both worlds with these subscriptions - - there is the anticipation of being surprised, when I do not like surprises, but! The anticipation of what is in the grab bag! ... who needs to win the lottery???!!! LOL ....

I don’t subscribe to boxes because I like to choose my own items, and I would never use most of what they contain. I would have liked to receive those basting pins to try. I use Best Press, and I also experience burning in my throat from the fumes it creates. I’m very careful to press small amounts at a time and to try not to breathe directly above the fabric being pressed. I’ve found that if I let the Best Press soak in well and begin to dry a little, the fumes aren’t as bad. Hope you enjoyed your vacation. I haven’t been to the Jersey shore since I was in high school, and that was 51 years ago.

Haha!! That’s how they get you. It’s our curiosity! 😅

Thanks for the best press tip! I’ll have it try it. ☺️

This is a bag of random scrap fabrics, all cotton wovens, from Fat Quarter Shop. It's a really great value, only $12.98 for sometimes up to 5 yards of fabric.

I would also love a bag of Moda!!

☺️

It's been really great to use to test new quilt blocks but I also have some video content planned for the scraps. Stay tuned! :)

Bag 5

Agreed!

You are so welcome!

Thank you!

It really is. I’d say about 75% of my customers don’t give me enough. I sympathize because fabric is expensive but people work so hard on their quilts and I want them to have the best quilting possible. I’ve learned to work with as little as 1” on both sides but boy do I get excited when I have a client like this! ☺️

Yes, that too! ☺️

You are so welcome! ☺️

Agree! ☺️

That is seriously so sweet of you to say! I agree, the fabric is fantastic! Take a look at her quilt designs on FQS too. She’s got a really cute aesthetic.

Hi there! They are currently sold out of scrap bags and removed the listing. They’ll post again when they have more. I’ll post in the community tab when I see them back in stock.

@@coffeecakequiltcompany thank you for explaining that to me. Love watching yyour videos.

You’re very welcome and thank you! 😊

Thanks so much and cordless is definitely the way to go!

What would you use them for?

LOL ... one can never have enough pointy tweezers #1 ... sometimes, I have to reach into my bobbin area to bring out threads that have gotten in and won't come out with a brush. The tweezers are very handy for a variety of needs (like getting tiny thorns out of my fingers); I chuckled when you mentioned plucking eyebrows. pointy tweezers ... very good!@@coffeecakequiltcompany

Great idea for that bobbin area!

not only that, but those tweezers might well save me from having to buy one of Elenor Burns' stiletto! When a tool can multi-task, I call it EXCELLENT!@@coffeecakequiltcompany

That would look so neat! ☺️
