@@christopherspringmann this is an excellent point that I haven’t considered! Definitely will be trying this. Thanks for the suggestion!

@@southernsewingco Thank you for your quick reply! I changed my original comment to Not using a Pellon-type interface. I'll stay tuned.

@@christopherspringmann let me think on this!

@@brandyjohnson5547 that would have been helpful to include🤣. Thanks for pointing this out. I’ll update! Here you go: amzn.to/4fhZwjz

@@brandyjohnson5547 thank you for watching!!

​@@southernsewingco😂 😂 you're welcome!

@@brendaspiekermann5722 you’re welcome!

@@GwenTytgat you’re welcome!!

@@lisaw414 for me, it’s the easiest to be able to put a name on them with a font that I’m pulling from the internet. I haven’t found a transfer method that works effectively. This stabilizer has been the best!

@@southernsewingco Oh gotcha! I just use a heat pen and lightbox to transfer the name on the swaddle. I may try this next time.

@@cherylrussell2896 I’m so happy they’re useful for you!! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment 😀

@@danitamyers8241 they do! I’m glad someone feels the same as I do!

@@whilelissa hey!! Great question! I usually do a French knot for this! They’re pretty simple. I don’t have a specific tutorial but I know you could find a quick one on a TH-cam search!

Glad this was helpful! Thank you so much for the comment!

@@laurenjeanybeany thanks for asking!! I need to finish this! I got caught up with a swaddle blanket tutorial and kit! This is going on my list!

@@southernsewingco Yay! Thank you so much! I’ve been scouring the internet and there just isn’t anything comprehensive out there. :( I bought some supplies last night, but can’t wait to see your method!

@@laurenjeanybeany sometimes it’s tough to find the simplest things. I’ll try to make something easy!

@@user-uh4nm3qi8f thank you!!

@@gabyerazo1853 hey!! I will usually flip them inside out and wash on delicate with other baby/gentle items!

Hey!! I’ve been meaning to do a tutorial for a baby onesie! I would actually recommend this one: amzn.to/3VLbV6R. It’s sticky and I think works better for onesies!

😀😀❤️

Hey! I’m so glad you found this helpful. I know FMQ can be difficult but you got this! I’m hoping to put more videos soon out there about it!

Yay! I love hearing this. Thank you so much!

I’m so glad to hear this! I’m so jealous of your daughters great hand writing 😂

Thank you!!! I forgot to include this so I will definitely create something soon! I typically use 100% cotton thread! This brand is one of my favorites from Amazon. amzn.to/4ba4xrp. When I first got started, I bought a neutral color pack. I use white the most! Especially piecing.

I’m so glad to hear this! Thanks for commenting!

You are so welcome!! Thank you for watching! I can’t wait to see what you make!

Hey! I thought I responded to this- sorry for the delay! I don't include a backing on these, but that's just me! You can use a product like this (amzn.to/3KwAwao). OR If you wanted to turn this into a blanket with a backing you can consider adding minky or flannel fabric! I have a tutorial for this on my page too :) Hope this helps!

Glad it’s not just me!

Thank you so much for this comment! So encouraging. I’m glad you enjoy it! Good luck with your first quilt!

Thank you for the comment! I’m glad you liked this! Enjoy 😀

Hey! This was one of the first videos I shot via my iPhone.

I’m so happy I can help!! So maybe a more in-depth for each? I can find a way to break these down more!

This is a great question! I’m sorry I didn’t address this in the video! This can be a little tricky but the best way to figure this out is to go off your cut fabric (since we are confident that it is an accurate 5”), line that up perfectly in the middle of your charm pack square and then use the cut fabric to follow along your 1/4” seam allowance. I really should have mentioned this in the video! I may do another video about this soon!

@@southernsewingco I’m so excited to watch when you do…Thank you!!!! 🥰

You are so right!! I love the organic aspect AND you can’t see the mess ups as in straight line quilting 😬😬. It’s on of my favorites 🥰

Sorry about that! I will definitely keep this in mind for the next video!

Turn up your sound...

Hey! I mostly used all 6 strands for this!

No ma’am! Feed dogs stay in their regular setting, just like with your presser foot, when using your walking foot! It’s only with the free motion foot that we drop them down. Hope this helps!

Welcome!! I'm so glad you found me! To be honest, I rarely mess with the presser foot pressure. The only time I've messed with it was when using a walking foot when I noticed that my machine was moving around kind of squirrely (if that makes sense lol). In this case, I adjusted it a little more so it held my quilt together a little better and didn't let it bounce around so much! For FMQ, I've never seen this as an issue though. I hope this helps!

You’re welcome Ashley!

I do use this a lot too! With the swaddles, I feel like it’s a little too heavy and just love this particular kind!

Oh no!!! You can definitely try a water soluble pen! I always worry about the ink bleeding!

@@southernsewingco I know. I shoukd have learned. This happened before on a sweater.

@@sandibraus6367 after some research, I did discover that not all printer ink works with it and you can change the % of ink but I just never used it enough to figure it out with my printer. Plus I was scared after messing up my first project! I do love it paired with a water soluble pen though!

I’m so glad you found me! That’s a great question that I didn’t go over, and I’m glad you pointed that out! I typically start in the corner but I know other quilters that start in the middle. I’ve just always started in the corner so it’s kind of a habit at this point but no particular reason other than that. You’ll have to let me know what you think about the series!

@@southernsewingco I have been practicing FMQ but need to graduate to a quilt. I think starting in a corner will be easier. Also. Loved how you focused on completing the circle, keeping the spacing pleasing, etc. I look forward to watching your series/content.

Some do start in the middle with the mentality that the Quilt won’t ever be harder than it is right then. You could probably try a smaller maybe baby quilt, as those are lighter and easier to move around! You got this! Thank you for taking the time to watch these videos. It means so much

Hey! I haven’t exactly measured to say for sure! But I’m usually trying to make it right across the chest and in line with the armpit area!

You’re so welcome!! Thank you for watching!

Columbus, GA! I wish lived closer. I would love to do classes!

Definitely!!!

Oh sure!! Sometimes I even like to use yarn and it works well also.

What thread do you suggest. But not yarn

DMC Pearl is thicker than regular DMC gloss. You can try that! I’m linking an example! They range in sizes. amzn.to/44mgrMP

Thank you !

You’re welcome!! I’m glad this was helpful!

hey! I definitely use different font sometimes, especially because they really just look funny sometimes! Scroll through Canva and see what you might like, playing with the different fonts. If you know you like calligraphy or handwritten fonts, type that into the search bar and Canva and see what you can find! I hope this helps.

I did try Oblique Rain and Heavenfield recently and liked them both! I usually click around until I find one. It takes a minute with some name 😂

You’re so welcome! ❤️

amzn.to/3JsHVXz these work well! Basically anything that’s sharp! ❤️
