How fun to see you do this. I can actually see you and hear your voice again. I took a class that you taught. It was at the Overbrook Quilting Shop in Kansas. You taught us how to dye fabric with Procion dyes. The class was a gift I gave myself for my 40th birthday. I am now 72! It is wonderful to know that you are still teaching people the arts of quilting. Thank you for being you!
Thanks Lee for reaching out! So glad to heard that this class changed your life! That also happened to me back in 1980 when I took my first quilting class. We are nearly the same age - I am 71!
0:50 to keep your paper from shifting under the needle, carefully stack the paper shiny side to dull side. If you place shiny side to shiny side, you'll have a hard time getting them apart after ironing them together with a dry iron. Do a quick swipe with the iron as you're just tacking it to each other. If you're nervous about getting the papers apart, just press on the outside of pattern and it will still hold your paper from shifting well enough as you mark it with the needle pricks. 💖🌞🌵😷
Hi Gail, the curved are FPP; right?
Re seam allowance: do you paper piece the geese?
Please advise how to add seam allowance. Do you have a tutorial?
Nice video on foundation piecing
Thanks Cindy! I'm happy that it was helpful!
Beautiful
You can use Freezer Paper to paper piece where you do not sew on the paper itself so in the end, there is no tearing the paper off, just peeling it off, easy peasy. It's really the beauty of using freezer paper at all for this method of piecing. It's easy to google and see how great the other method of using freezer paper is for paper piecing. Here is the link to one that shows what I'm talking about... th-cam.com/video/VLiYaZ3W-nY/w-d-xo.html
I'm glad I found your video. I didn't think I would find what I was looking for. I'm a newbie, and it scared me. But here you are. Showing me exactly what I was looking for. I've strip quilted using scrap printer paper, and then I heard about using freezer paper, but everyone had their patterns printed right on the paper but didn't sew the fabric onto the paper. And thank you for the for-warning about not touching the waxie side of the freezer paper with the iron. I agree. I hare cleaning my iron. You also made a good point about buying a cheaper iron. I've seen those fancy ones that elevate so that they don't sit flat on the ironing mat when not in use and I was considering buying one. Guess I don't really need to if that's all I want it for. I did buy a tiny iron so I don't have to drag my big ironing board out to iron on (more room to buy and place fabric) and when I try to use the steam on it it just spits water out all over my fabric, and like you I hate that. I also liked your idea of using smaller stitches when sewing. Looks like it makes ripping the paper off much easier. I have a few pieces of paper left on the backs of my fabrics that I wasn't able to rip off completely. No biggie. So, is it really easier using freezer paper when ripping it off the back of the fabrics. It sortof looks like it. Guess I'll find out when I try it. So, again, thank you very very much for your video. It confirmed what I thought and figured I could do, I really just needed confirmation.
I like that you didn't use huge pieces of fabric & have a lot of waste! I did want to know why you sewed through the paper? I thought the purpose of using freezer paper was to not tear the paper pattern off & waste it.
СУПЕР! ЖДЁМ ПРОДОЛЖЕНИЯ))
СПАСИБО ЗА МАСТЕР КЛАССА! ЖДЁМ НОВЫХ ВИДЕО)))
Thank you so much for sharing this. I am a new quilter who likes to challenge herself. I really appreciate the more experienced quilters like you ….who by sharing…keep the craft alive😊
I enjoyed your video, just wanted to mention that PTSD also stands for post-traumatic stress disorder. I won't have any problem remembering your mnemonic!
I have a vintage iron that stays on always. No steam. I love it. Plug into a light so when the light is off I know the iron is off..
thank you. the video help me a lot.
You make this look easy! Thanks for the lesson.
Thank you Elaine! I am working on more short videos so stay tuned!
Very clear explanation. Thank you, Gail! I'm so glad to have this to watch when I start my project.
+tennispjb Thank you! It was the West Alabama Quilt Guild that inspired me to begin posting these mini-videos.
