Cute pin cushions.
Margaret, I have just today found your channel. I appreciate your clear, logical directions. I also very much appreciate that you show , for example quilt borders and quilt bindings, your demonstration on a full size quilt rather than a 12 inch block. I am glad that I found you and will be watching.
Love and light, Jo Ann from Mississippi
You are such a beautiful person. It is such a joy watching you create and inspire us. Thanks a million
I made a pin cushion following your video. I sewed on my button before I sewed on the back. It was easier for me. I don't know yet what I will fill it with, but i know i want something that helps keep the pins sharp. Thank you!
wow- I've never seen such a beautiful little pincushion- so much work goes into it- but soooo worth it- gorgeous- Thanks for such a well made tutorial...
I love your pincushion making one as we speak. Too cute! It's an old video. You look like a kid in it.
Thank you for taking the time to produce this video, Margaret. I love this pincushion - it's so pretty! I'm going to make one a couple of inches bigger just because I want a big pincushion. I think this pincushion is so creative and really stands out!
Gayle Hall Thank you so much!! Thank you for watching! Stay tuned for more tutorials!
love you're pin cushion quilt. I have also saved some of you're other tutorials to my favourites.
Very cute. We just started a seeing class at our church. This is a great idea to give each sewer.
Many years ago I knew it his pattern as cathedral. Quilt design,but had forgotten how to make it. Thanks for this tutorial. I will be making this pincushion very soon.
What an awesome pincushion and the tutorial was perfect! Easily could make one from watching this.... THANKS !!!!
Thank you Sharon!
I really like the way you sew! You are very precise. Thank you for your excellent tutorials. I am looking forward to seeing many more.
Cherylquilts Thank you! I try to be precise! I just love the process, to me it's so much fun and so creative! Thanks for watching!
I've made a lot of these cathedral window pincushions, but I never thought of sewing them on the machine. I have a few folded ready to hand sew, so will try using the sewing machine instead. My pincushions have cathedral window blocks on both sides, yours look much easier than mine. Thanks for the video.
Very cute pin cushions. Will give it a try.
Thank u sooooo much. I made this and didn't make a mess. It worked. I luv the way u explain why, and the way u don't talk down to your students as u teach. Luv ya
Very nice tutorial ~ love pincushions. Thank you for sharing!
I really enjoyed your pincusion tutorial !!!
Thanks Margaret. It's great. I always wondered how this beautiful flower design was made. I would try making the cushion.
Beautiful, will for sure make at least one and maybe more as gifts.
Excellent tutorial! 🤩🤩🤩
Hi Margaret. Thank you for the tutorial, very lovely and beautiful.
Thank you, you vid was done really well. I have watch several like this but yours really explained where I could understand .
I did it after 2 tries! I'm proud of myself. Thank you so very much for the tutorial. Belinda
Belinda Paxton Belinda, that's fantastic!! Please send me a picture, i would love to see it! margaret@missmarkersquilts.com
I loved this pincushion you did a great job in your tutorial
Hi Margaret, that was a great tutorial, I'm definitely going to make some of these. Thank you so much for showing me this.
Mags Nash Thanks Mags! I'm so gad you enjoyed it!!
Love the video. Love the pincushions. Great job.
Mary King Mary, thank you so much!
Thank you for the video! I'm a beginner sewer... can't wait to give this a try. I've seen a lot of pincushions and I think this style is my absolute fav.
+Sherry Buras it's my favorite too! Thanks for watching!
+Margaret Leuwen Quilting (Miss Marker's Quilts) I ended up making the pincushion by following along with your video. When you got to the part about adding the 5x5" piece to the middle, I had already followed along with you and sewn down the 4 center corners. Perhaps you can edit the video and put that bit in *before* having us tack down the center corners. This was partly my own fault for not completely watching the video all the way through a few times before beginning, but it was annoying having to use the seam ripper to remove the center tack. I hope that made sense lol.
Thank you so much for a really great tutorial. Your work is so neat. A pleasure to watch.
Thank you, Margaret. I've wanted to know how to make this for a long time.
Mary Shaver Mary, glad I was able to show you how. I've actually been thinking of making a pillow to go along with this pincushion, I thought it might look nice in my new Studio once it's completed, what do you think? Should I also make a pillow?
Thanks for watching and for commenting! I LOVE to hear from everyone!!
Margaret Leuwen Quilting Yes! you should make a pillow just because the end result is SO CUTE!!
This is a very good Tutorial easy to follow.
Super cute! Itching to go make one of these too. Thanks for sharing.
Susan P Thank you! I've actually made 6 of them now! Thanks for watching!
Awesome ,you are the bomb MS Margaret💕💕💕💕
I loved this video.Will look for others you have.Thank you .It is beautiful
hey there,
I'd just like to say that i noticed at the end where you said this makes a nice gift for a new sower... well i am a new sower and this is my first thing i've made wohoo! i did it!
+budgiebreder Welcome to the wonderful world of Quilters!!
thanks! i'm more thinking of making outfits for now - but perhaps a future quilter for sure :)
this is so pretty. I love watching your videos. you are so concise with your information.
I love this little pin cushion. I have been watching tutorials for different patterns and am going to make this. At one point you gave an instruction for sewing across and then across again ( I think that is what it was). Your fabric was off camera so I was confused as to what you did. I think it is a short little stitch line in the center holding the points together but am not sure. I am a new quilter so don't understand all things until I visually see it. I think this little cushion is darling! Thanks for taking the time to make the tutorial.
lavalavaist Hi! Yes, the sticking is across the two folded in points and are to secure them down prior to folding/rolling the fabric over to frame it in. I hope this helps! If you have any questions at all feel free to email me at Margaret@missmarkersquilts.com! Thanks so much for watching! Margaret
Looks like a faux cathedral window pattern. Clever. Unclear as to where exactly to stitch the different levels but I'm sure it could be figured out. If I did sew or had a machine this would be a great project to try. As it is I just enjoy watching creative videos. Thanks for all your effort in this video.
Cheers from California
Dave
I LOVE THESE PIN CUSHIONS. THANK YOU
btw, your craft room is super organized!
mrshammerhankus Thank you but honestly right now it's a disaster! It's so bad that I have to clean before I can film or I'll be embarrassed beyond belief! I have started trying to pack my sewing room up so I'm ready for the big move into my new studio but I think I need to do a little cleaning first! Thank you for watching!!
Hi Margaret! Luv your pincushion tutorial, easy to follow. Can't wait to give it a try. Only wished you had more close ups for old lady like to to see better. Keep making more tutorials please.
Love your pincushion! Very pretty! Loved watching you make it. I may try making one. :)
Thanks Margaret ! That clears it up for me
Now let's see if I can do one !!!!!
Great tutorial! I’m exited to make these! Thanks for showing us your skills!
You can use fabric sizing or starch before you iron to make corners a bit more crisp. Great tutorial!
+Arlene Devroy yes you absolutely could use either. I always prefer sizing over starch unless it's Mary Ellen's Best Press :).
Absolutely adorable!
Sandy Grogg Thanks!
Lovely video,thanks for sharing.You explained everything so well,if some people couldn't follow what you were doing,they must've had their eyes shut!😀
+Cathy Serafinowicz Thank you Cathy :)! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
I just watched your video. It's so cute your cousin. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you I made these a long time ago but couldnt remember how, now I know
I really like you little Cathedral Window pincushion!
Those r cute . Going to try to make some
Excellent demo
+Beth Jones Thanks Beth!!
Love your video. So detailed and precise.
Enjoyed your tutorial very much!
+Millie Garner Thank you so much!!
So very cute! Great thought went into making this tutorial and it shows.
Oh how cute. And usefull,thank you 😀👍👍🙋🌸
I love these! I watched this video a few times...lol I'm finally going to make my own!
The strawberry pincushion I own was looking pretty shabby and the tomato was quite faded. I just bought a new tomato with strawberry. I want to make an emery pincushion using your pattern for a nice big one and not the small strawberry size. I just seam ripped both strawberries to get a look at the construction and you might be surprised to know there is only the single layer of fabric keeping the emery sand inside. The old strawberry fabric was a 3" circle cut in half. The new strawberry is made from an odd shaped square (not 3" except on one side) with a lot of fabric tucked inside and under the glued green leaves. Originally, I thought like you that maybe plastic wrap along with a little batting might be helpful too but it appears not to be necessary. Your navy/toile fabric would be just perfect or any dark colored fabrics. Thanks for a lovely pattern.
I love your tutorial. very detail and easy to understand. thank you very much~
+myzeedah must Thank you for watching!!
I wonder if a fine steel wool from the hardware store would sharpen the pins if placed inside the pin cushion. I may give it a try. Thanks for such a great tutorial. It is a very cute pincushion!! Let's face it, you can never have too many.
+petmom ful I've never tried fine steel wool, if you try it I'd love to know how it works! Thanks for watching you are right, we can never have enough pin cushions!!
I first made one of these pincushions about 5-6 years ago. I love to use it as it is so pretty. I just wanted to comment that you don't have to stuff it with crushed walnuts. Stuff it with your favorite stuffing - I uses the fiberfil I always use for stuffed animals/dolls.
i think the crushed walnut shells are really good to use....but you can use fiberfil too
I use my couch arm for the same thing, lol! I am going to make one now! Thanks for sharing!
+qwiltingal My daughter gave me a BEAUTIFUL pincushion from Alaska. I can not wait to show everyone!!!
I really enjoyed your tutorial and learned even more reading through these comments.
A suggestion for future tutorials: should you decide to do any machine or hand stitching, use a contrasting thread so that the stitching stands out on the fabric and is clearer for us to see.
I look forward to seeing your ideas on organizing your patterns, also. I have lots of patterns, but don't remember what I have or where to find the one I'm looking for ... Help!
Laura Guenette Hi Laura! Thank you so much for commenting and for watching! I'm actually (today) working on a tutorial on how to hand sew binding on, the binding is black and I'm using an off white thread so hopefully it will help so everyone can see my stitches!
The construction on my new studio (720 Square Feet of Heaven on Earth) is moving along. I plan on showing exactly how I sort, organize and store my patterns as well as my block of the month kits as I move into my studio. Please stay tuned!
Thank you so much for watching!
Love love the blue one, would goe awesome with my color scheme, nrrd to make I
Awesome video!
Love the design. I am going to make one, but I thought I would make a yoyo (round fabric circle gathered around the edges) fill it with emery dust, The suspend it inside under the button. When you put your needle in the button hole it would go into the emery powder. I will post a pic when I get them done.
j Ward What a fantastic idea! A Yoyo would be perfect for the center! I can't wait to see the pictures! Please let me know where you post them so I can see them.
Will do.
Thank you Margaret! Wonderful!
Love these! Can't believe I'm just now seeing this Aug 2019, thought I had seen all your Video's. Lol
I’m wondering if you could button an elastic loop onto the back so you could wear it on your wrist when you wanted to. Cute project! Thanks for sharing it!
I really liked it!
Barbara Nichols Thank you Barbara!
LOVE IT!!! Cathedral windows have always been hard for me....will try this project!!! Bev White
A very well explained tutorial thanks for sharing 😊
Hermoso trabajo .....
So lovely. Thank you.
i really enjoyed your video. you explained everything perfectly.... im gong to try to make this tomorrow.
thank you for an excellent video :-)
+anna gonzalez I would love to see a picture of your finished pin cushion! You can tag me on Instagram or on Facebook! I'm Miss Marker's Quilts on both, just do a quick search and I'll pop up! Thanks for watching!!
So cute!
Me gusta el agujero de la flor. Pero que todo es creatividad le felicito por su programa .
Simply must do this! I love your colors. I've watched several tutorials on this and each one teaches me something different. I never knew the strawberry was for that! I've been sewing over 40 yrs! Someone on another tutorial, someone said her grandmother's had human hair (for the oil lubricating properties). I love the stacked button idea here. Never would have thought of that plus the bottom button. Maybe the other tutorial meant on the backing fabric to sew the long end seam together and then fold it so that was in the center, THEN attach it to the front panel with that part tucked towards the center filling. this will hide that seam? Thank you for your clear and wonderful video.
mrshammerhankus I hope you do make it, it was so easy and I really like how it turned out! I really like the pincushion with the button on the top and on the bottom, for some reason that seam on the bottom just bothered me, my 'Type A Personality" must have been really kicking in that day! :) Thanks for watching!!
i tried this, it was so ugly, it was homely-cute...next time, I will use your measurements. Cause I think it's adorable. Try, try, again!
Oh my goodness I loved this tutorial! I love all your tutorials! I can't wait to make this! Thanks for sharing!
cute pincushions!
Thanks for the great tutorial! I hate that you've received a few negative comments. It makes me irritated. I wanted to add a little tip: instead of pinning the rolled edges down, it might be easier to run a super thin line of Elmer's glue under the edges, and hit it with a hot, dry iron to set. Glue basting might not be right for everyone, but I think it might help some people (like me!) achieve those gorgeous rolled edges with ease. :)
I think your Elmer's Glue is a fantastic idea!! I never would have thought of that! Please don't let the negative comments upset you, I don't. We all have bad days once in a while and I know that the positive feedback I get far outweighs the negative. Thanks so much for watching and for that fantastic idea!! I'm going to be purchasing some Elmer's Glue soon!
Margaret Leuwen Quilting Yay! I'm so glad to have sparked an idea for you! But thank YOU for all your wonderful tutorials!
Hi Margaret..loved the pincushion, so pretty. I did not understand where you stitch the points together..is it just like a tack maybe? I could not see, you may have edited that part out, but it seems to be an important part. Maybe you could just make a quickie video on that. Thanks so much. I.love learning from you. I am 71, never too old to learn new ways.
The cross stitch at the 8 minute mark in the video is referring to stitching across from tip to tip each point opposite of each other to make sure all 4 points remain stable and do not break away or move while you roll back the edges to for the cathedral pattern.
Great idea using the press sheet as a hem presser. What kind of pen did you use to prevent transfer to your fabric when you iron?
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
jannyb55 You are very welcome! Thanks for watching!
Love this! I want to make one for everyone now.
My project for tomorrow. Cute.
Please more different pincushions. Thank you.
Great tutorial, thank you! 💚
Wow! I've already seen a lot of this kind of project, but not that easy. Thanks a lot for sharing it with us. I was wondering if you could write down the measurements used in this project. I'd really appreciate that, Margaret.
Thank you! I love these!
Why are crushed walnuts better than regular stuffing? Thanks for great video! :)
Love this unfortunately I am hard of hearing and could not quite catch the filling you put in as filling dried ? And then normally in the centre the other filling ? Thanks
Very cute idea for a pin cushion but we missed a couple of things because it was out of the camera view. Love you you tubes. What is emory and what you are getting to fill the inside?
i think she meant steel wool it is used to keep needles sharp with out scratching
Those are really cute pincushions. Where do you get the Emery or Emory?
so pretty
loved the video. But on your next video could you be more specific on where to sew it on? It was a little confusing and hard to see. it is a very pretty pin coustion and i am looking forward to making it.
Peeps Peeps Peeps Peeps, thank you so much for commenting! Yes, I will try harder with my next video to be more specific as to where I am stitching. One viewer asked that I tape at my sewing machine so she could see, which is something I will try to do. Yes, it is possible to sew this by hand! Thanks so much for watching and for commenting!!
I had no idea the little strawberry was for sharpening needles!
Very cute!
Melanie Gillette Thank you!
i just love it ....soooo cute
Thank you!!
Lovely! ! Couple questions:
-how do you sew the buttons on after the filling is in?
-is it ok to use all emery? Or should you mix walnut shells and emery?
Thank you!
Joy Paul Joy, it would be fine to use all emery. Just keep in mind the weight and the amount of emery needed. Emery can also be expensive and hard to find. If you know of a place that has it PLEASE let me know! A pin cushion completely filled with emery would be great! I would love to see pictures of your pin cushion when done!
Margaret Leuwen Quilting thank you!!
Joy Paul Joy, I forgot to answer your other question. To sew the button I just used a large needle, but make certain you check the button and the needle will go through. A milliners needle would work perfect! I made a bunch of these for Christmas presents, I happen to have my grandmother's button box so I made one up for each of my sisters and used our grandmother's buttons! I think they will be thrilled, at least I hope they will!
Margaret Leuwen Quilting I have a button box that I inherited from my mother-in-law, who also inherited it from a neighbor. There are some very old buttons in there! I love to find projects to use them in. :-)
No more acupuncture for your couch anymore? :D
Looks great, thanks for sharing.
