That is a fantastic tip. The control of the point was amasing. Edita Siitar sews from the point then stops and sews from the opposite point and meets in the middle but your way of sorting it is neat and quick. One of many tips I have learnt from you. Thank you Laura.
Hi Laura .. thank you .. what a great tip .. never have i seen this anywhere before .. thank you for all that you teach and share so unselfishly.. i have learned tons of sewing tips since i first came across your wonderful channel.. much appreciated.. lotsa love from Johannesburg South Africa xxx
THANK YOU, this is a 5-star tip! In fact, I am voting it Top Tip of the Month, or maybe the year! My desire to protect my family with individually fitted face masks inspired me to dust off my 30-year-old Brother sewing machine and revive my rusty sewing skills. When my poor tired machine balked at the bulky layered seams, forcing me to rip out as many stitches as not, I ordered a new Brother ST371HD and quickly realized there have been a lot of awesome upgrades to sewing machines in 30 years! Now I find myself wishing I had waited for a machine with a few more bells and whistles. 😊 As a teen and young adult, I sewed clothes for myself and my mother, baby clothes, quilts and bumper pads for my sons, fancy clothes for my sister's Barbie doll, drapes and pillows for my home, and a few quilts. If my family needed anything made of fabric and thread, I was their go-to person. I even made a polyester leisure suit for my husband! LOL! When my younger son started school, I started college and earned an R.N. degree. With the demands of busy mother, wife and R.N., my sewing fell by the wayside. Now I am absolutely loving sewing again. Thanks to wonderful people like you who are willing to share their time and skills on YT, my skills and results have improved immensely.
Laura, thanks for the brilliant “steering” tip for those tiny ends! As a newbie quilter whose stitches get wonky at the end of piecing, this is just what we need. Appreciate your clear, calm, and concise instructional videos. 😊 Bernice from South Carolina
This is the most clever tip I have ever seen. This is going to save so many adjustments when piecing and later having to adjust my blocks. Thank you. You have taught me so much!
Perfect timing! I have some leftover HST'S to sew together to make into squares for a pillow to go with a quilt for my granddaughter. This will help for sure! Thank you for your superb guidance!!
I am going to be sewing tiny triangles in a civil war quilt and man are they small and I will try your pin technique it totally looks amazing. Thing is I am also sewing a "scant quarter inch" but fortunately I can move my needle yet stay on the quarter inch mark...LOL whew. Thank you again for your tip.
I tried to put a quilt together on my Bernina that had you precut your half square triangles. Right, they went wonky at the end. Now that you’ve shown us this trick, I’m going to do them over again! Thanks. Why did I not see this before?
Oh my goodness. Thank you so much! This has been such a frustration for me. So thankful for your tips! Especially this one!!! And I have the same Bernina. I glad to know the shifting of the fabric wasn’t my machine or my sewing. I’m so excited to have watched this!😁
Thank you, Laura! What a great tip. I am going to try this. By the way, I love all your videos. I have used so many of your tips and just finished making a quilt using the Rainbow Sorbet #19 for a wedding gift. THEY LOVED IT!
This is one of the best tips ever. I Just made 36 12.5" pinwheels and 72 5.5" pinwheels and this would have been perfect for me. I did use my stiletto which helped a little. Thank you Laura for this tip. It really is amazing.
Thank you for another wonderful tip. I used your 'How to Block a Quilt Block' earlier today. This tip will probably help make my blocks square as well. Please continue with your tips.
Thank you!! This is one of the most useful tutorials I found so far on TH-cam. It is useful for any application where precision is needed, not just for quilting. I'll be sure to check out all your videos as I am very grateful for your sharing your knowledge with us.
This is the first time I heard this trick before. I will try this next time I sew a triangle shape or use 1/4 inch seam allowance. Thanks for sharing!!
I had a applique that sat on the shelf for at least 10 years. I absolutely hated it. Someone suggested glue... I used too much and made it too thick and hard but by the end I figured it out. I finally finished it
I just finished sewing 1000 HST's three and a half inches each. I did it on a Bernina using a 37D foot. I stiff startched them so most of the time I could chain feed them with alternating orientation. However, at least one in ten or so wouldn't feed in. Then I had to stop and restart. This is going to save me alot of work next time.
I make my HST's by starting with two squares, drawing a diagonal line down the middle, and then sewing 1/4 inch away from the diagonal line. Then cut on the diagonal line you drew down the middle. Wa lah! Two HST's perfectly sewn!
@@Oontaka I agree that this should work better, but I find it is easier for me to rotary cut a straight edge at the exact center than it is to draw a straight line at the exact center.
I use just a kiss of water soluble glue between the fabrics on the seam side within the quarter inch space, use a warm iron to set it - if I need to rip out my stitching for some reason, the fabrics are easily separated without ill effect to the fabric.
Thank you for such a useful tip! I am a bit surprised you use such thick shafted pins. I like Clover glass head pins, and the shaft is very narrow. I'll be sure to use your wonderful tip next time I'm stitching half square triangles. Great camera shots too!
I’ve been quilting over 20yrs & never knew this tip. I’ve been using a stiletto, but will definitely give this a try. Thank you so much for your videos.
What a wonderful sewing 🧵 tip! I am simply amazed by the handy tips, information & tutorials you show on your TH-cam Channel! Mrs. Coia or if I may, can I please call you by your first name of Laura? I am so very happy that I found your wonderful TH-cam Channel several months ago. You explain everything not only very detailed but slow enough that even a true beginner would be able to grasp your explanations on your Tutorials. Thank you so very very much for all that you do for us. I know that I for one truly appreciate it and you! Have a God Blessed weekend, Carrie

Great tip! Wonderful camera work. Thanks for all you do.
I was going crazy with the points being smaller than the quarter inch I started out at... I thought it was my machine. Thank you Laura!
Oh my goodness. Thank you so much! This has been such a frustration for me. So thankful for your tips! Especially this one!!! And I have the same Bernina. I glad to know the shifting of the fabric wasn’t my machine or my sewing. I’m so excited to have watched this!😁

Thank you Laura for this absolutely smashing clever tip...greetings from Dublin

This can be a pesky problem. I will give this a try. Thank you for the brilliant suggestion.
Great tip, Laura! I will try this! Pam in Alabama
Nothing beats Elmer’s washable glue when it comes to matching points perfectly or sewing on the bias. Try it , you are going to love it.
I had a applique that sat on the shelf for at least 10 years. I absolutely hated it. Someone suggested glue... I used too much and made it too thick and hard but by the end I figured it out. I finally finished it
@@cherieiduke1723 Don't forget glue sticks are great, not liquid and won't bead up! Happy sewing everyone!
Great tip Laura! I will definitely use that!
