Went to your website and tried to download week 1&2 but it went to your shop. 😢
Yes - the free clues are available as free downloads in our online shop ... so you were directed to the correct place! ☺️
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Does using starch shrink your fabric?
It usually does to varying degrees (depending on a number of factors like the brand used, how much you saturate the fabric, how high your iron is, etc). That's why we recommend starching before cutting and treating all fabric in a quilt top in the same manner!
Great educational content. You’re a wonderful instructor, I would have never even considered using a paper template before seeing this. Thank you.
You are so welcome - so glad you're excited and feeling confident about trying something new!!
Wow! This was “sew” helpful to me, a new quilter! I wish I had known this when I made my first quilt. I’m almost finished with the quilt top on my second quilt and I used the Faultless Spray starch. What a game changer! My blocks had less fraying and they matched up nicely. The only thing I should have done was to starch the fabric BEFORE I cut out the pieces! Oh well, live and learn! Thank you for making this informative video. 😊
This is excellent news - so glad to hear it's helped with your practice!
Beautiful collection of fabric! I will definitely add this line to my wishlist for next year! ❤
Thanks so much - we can't wait for you to see it in person!
Beautiful
Thanks so much!
What is "floss tube"?
"Floss Tube" is a community here on youtube for people who love needlework like cross-stitch, embroidery, punch-needle, and even quilting!
@CorasQuilts Thank you, I appreciate the info - I heard the term being used on several channels but had no idea. Is there a specific place to see all the "flosstube" vloggers or are vloggers just adopting the term in addition to their own channel?
Multicrafter here, too. I quilt, cross stitch and crochet mainly these days. I used to be a papercrafter, but haven't done that in years. Gorgeous patterns and I'm excited to watch along.
Love hearing the details about the cutting table. I am curious which height was the ideal healthy for the little ikea legs. 4 1/2”?Thanks.
Thanks so much! We'll share more in our next studio vlog, but I found that 4 inch furniture legs give me a great height for ergonomic cutting.
Put your desk in front of Window. Where You're looking out the window
I think the one room should house just the fabrics and patterns. Having the 2 printers and even the Scale outside of the Fabric Storage Room. Shelly, I've been trying to decide what cutting mat to get. The 76"x 40" cutting mat either comes as You mentioned in 3 sections or all in one piece (which is rolled.) But people complain that it doesn't lay flat. Let us know what works out
Hi Pamela - Personally, I am skeptical of rolled cutting mats. The three-part Olfa mat is shipped flat and works great.
What a wonderful blank canvas of a space! Is there any reason you need your office space to be in that separate room? If I had that space, I'd make your current office room into the shipping room and put your office out in the open space (as long as you had space for that). I can imagine your office in that corner outside the inventory room with your desk facing out into the open space.
Great suggestion!! I personally like having a quiet little room to write in - especially if we have helpers working in the studio. It really helps my squirrely brain stay focused!
Great space you have there! Don’t worry too much yet about possibly having more urniture than you have the footprint to put it all. The space will evolve as it gets defined. Can’t imagine how you’ve managed without a design wall!! 😮 definitely get that desk away from the wall! That train and your lovely space will inspire you and keep you fueled while you manage the administrative work! I hope there are many enjoyable and fruitful years ahead in your space.
Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for the tour Shelley. Love the new collection!
Thanks for watching!
beautiful! is this pattern available for purchase or is it only a kit?
Greetings - at this time, the pattern is only available through the course or as part of a block-of-the-month program.
Cora, I am having to press seams open which I seldom do & they're being stubborn (not even close to flat). So you think it's safe to use Flatter (w/iron) on those open seams prior to quilt assembly? I did not apply any starch or Best Press on the fabric. Thanks, Cindy
Hi Cindy - in my experience, it is safe ... HOWEVER ... I would experiment with scrap fabric first to see if you're happy with the result. ☺️
I have to say Shelly you are my favorite instructor, and I always look forward to your tutorials. Thank you, excellent instruction and tips.
Thanks so much 😊
I happened to see your book on a fat quarter shop video and I ordered it immediately. I am so surprised and excited to see that you have a sew along video series! Woohoo!! Your quilts are very beautiful! Thank you for these videos!
Thank you so much!
Very nice. Love them all. More for my shopping list x❤
Yay! Thank you!
Love your fabrics! This one is so pretty!
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful fabric!

Is there a shipping charge if we buy the class and the pattern?
Greetings - the class and pattern are both digital, so there is no physical product to ship.
Your "Secret Garden Sampler Quilt" is gorgeous, Shelley!
Thanks Sharon!
Question for Shelley about the quilt. I waited for the arrival of your Secret Garden line to make the barn star quilt but I see your book lists more skus than my yard bundle has for the quilt, so what other skus or other collection would you suggest I add with it to blend well with your collection to make the sampler quilt?
Greetings - The fabrics used in the Barn Star Sampler book are from several different collections. You can download the swatch sheet to help you plan your own project by following the link in the book.
Can I make the barm star quilt with a 40 piece fat quarter bundle with a few low volume yardage pieces for some backings? Asap
Hi there - you can find the yardage for the quilt in the early pages of your book. While you might be able to mix in a few fat quarters for a scrappy look, this massive 80" x 100" is most easily pieced with the stated yardage.
THANK YOU Shelley ! Such great tips and reminders . xox
You are so welcome!
Hi thank you for your great video what I'm looking to see if you could show us a different rulers that make different designs for the quilting blocks or shapes.
Greetings! Honestly, I am ruler minimalist, but you can find videos for the rulers I do use here in the studio in our Quilter's Toolbox series here on youtube.
Your review on starches was fabulous. Thank you for explaining and demonstrating all the different brands!
You are so welcome!
Great video, could you show us more designs to make with these rulers.
Greetings - you can find our full catalog of patterns on our website! www.CorasQuilts.com/patterns

Thank you. That was very interesting.
This helps alot
Thank you for your beautiful quilt tutorial
Hi, if I need to mix prewashed fabrics & unwashed fabrics, do you think if I starch the unwashed fabric, will it shrink them enough that I can mix them with my prewashed fabrics & not have it ruin my quilt when I wash it when it is finished? P.S. I think Faultless bought Niagara and have merged into one company. Thanks for sharing.
Hi there - it's impossible to say! It is my personal preference to pre-treat all of my fabric in the same manner before quilting, so I would not be comfortable using a mix of pre-washed and unwashed fabric because the shrinkage would not be uniform after your first wash.
Hi Shelly! I saw your quilt on line and fell in love! I'm just now hopping on board this Barn Star choo-choo train! Your tutorials ill help me get caught up. I now have the book and I'm gathering my fabrics!
Stunning Thank you ❤
This collection is gorgeous and the quilt patterns are divine! Love it!!
Cant wait to see what Quilt Patterns Shelly comes up with
Lovely fabric
If you use starch, does it not come out when you wash your quilt?
The purpose of starching your fabric is to add stability to your fabric as you sew ... which leads to more accurately pieced quilt blocks. Once you've finished sewing, then starch has served its purpose ... so it doesn't matter that it washed out.
Spray on wrong side, turn over and press…..with water in iron or not?
This is a matter of personal preference - we prefer to do all of our pressing with a dry iron. Moisture can be added with a spray bottle, if needed.
Thank you for all the great tips!! I am working on the barn star quilt along thru my local quilt shop and have used many of your tips. It makes the piecing process easier and very precise which I enjoy very much!!
Wonderful! So glad you're enjoying the quilt! ❤️
I am enjoying this tutorial so much, I am a new quilter and appreciate all the tips and information to be able to make these blocks. Shelly you are a wonderful instructor. Thank you.
So glad you posted this how to years ago & I found it when I needed it. I am working on a pattern that has incorrect directions for putting these together. After ripping apart 16 of them. I watched this, and presto perfect tri squares. Thank you for the detail you provided.
Thank you - I'm so happy to hear it's been helpful!
Hi, Shelley! Ive dropped in from Facebook. I recently signed up for the next QAL set to begin in Fall 2023. Yay!
