If you’re about to make your first quilt, please please watch this tutorial! It is by far the best! Thank you so much for making such a clear step by step tutorial on quilting! I was able to make my first one with ease and enjoy this process because of how clearly everything is explained
Seriously, you just have a way of explaining everything so simply, you take the fear out of trying new things. Please keep making these videos and keeping everything so fun and simple. Thank you!
I continue to refer back to her videos when learning sewing techniques. When she even said about pre-washing fabrics being a personal preference, it’s like a huge weight was just lifted off of my shoulder. The way she explained it made so much sense
I want to thank you for your upbeat personality and clarity in teaching sewing. I had a brain injury after a lung transplant so I have had to relearn many many things again, and still, many things don’t stay in my brain. Please pat yourself on the back because anyone that can explain things to a person with a brain injury, and be as inviting as you are, deserves milk and cookies for life! True, there are times I want to smack the back of your head- in a loving way- because you make it look so easy and mine is always a little more wonky! But a lot of that is my brain dropping information and not only sew the wrong sides together once and have to rip it out, but sometimes I do it two or three times! We call it the new comedy act! Thank you for what you do! It makes a difference in this persons life.
I'm an old quilter, and I'm so glad you encouraged a new quilter to sew their binding on by hand! That was very refreshing. You did a great tutorial for a new quilter. They need to learn by watching the step by step process so they won't tend to skip very important steps in a rush to get their quilt finished. In quilting something to be proud of, it can take time. So many try and break a speed record to get them done. Each quilt is a journey, and you should enjoy each journey. ❤ Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
I am a new quilter (I have been quilting since 2021) and I totally recommend hand sewing your binding! It is so much easier and less overwhelming than sewing it with the machine.
I had an inexplicable urge to make a baby quilt for a lovely young woman who has waited for this baby for so long. As a result I've fallen down a magical rabbit hole, and there was your video. Your binding technique is brilliant, thank you so much. I'm on early stages learning and on my first sample block I tried your clever way to attach the ends of the binding, and as everyone who sews knows, when something works so well it feels amazing. xxx
Dana taught me to make zipper bags (took me HOURS) and now I’m a quilt designer! Each pillow case, zipper bag, and quilt has taught me so much. Thanks, Dana!!!
I have watched this video probably 25 times studying every word and every detail. Now finishing 2 baby size striped quilts in 2 weeks. First time making a quilt!! Thank you so much
Hahahah. Thanks Roslyn! That makes me happy to hear! Yay! I was worried that the video would be too long, since I included all the steps in one place. But then I also thought that would be helpful so you don't have to click around to multiple videos to find everything. I'm glad you're on your 2nd quilt now! 🙌🙌Have fun making more! - Dana
Just when you think you never want to make a quilt, along comes Dana, showing you how fun and easy it is to make a quilt. I’m now off to my sewing room to gather items to start making a quilt.
Yeah this looks fun i want to try making it, it looks simple enough for a beginner i suppose its its something to practice, no matter what it turns out you can still be proud of your hard work
I taught patchwork and quilting for 25years and was feeling a bit jaded but your video is great. We’ve a new baby on the way and I know what my next project will be. Thanks for a fun clear video.
You are an INCREDIBLE teacher. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your thorough and complete directions. What a gift you are. THANK YOU so much. This is the best tutorial I have ever seen. Be well and thank you again for the free pattern.
thankyou from the uk, dreading starting my first quilt after watching so many videos with long processes. i'm now ready after watching your videos. thanks again and keep them coming.
Oh good! Thanks Lisa! I'm so glad it made sense and was easy to follow! It's fun to be excited about a new project....I hope you enjoy making a quilt! - Dana
This was one of the best sewing videos I have ever watched. Dana's explanations were straight forward and very specific without being overly wordy. She also was able to show close up exactly what she was describing. Thank you so much!!
I have watched several tutorials on quilting and I am always overwhelmed. I never went any further to try because of that feeling. With this, I think I could do it! You explained so well! I think I want to start with placemats using the same process. Thank you, Dana!
I believe that this is the BEST, SIMPLEST, beginner quilting tutorial EVER!!!!! Anyone can do this. I have been making quilts for years and want to make one in this simple manner. Thankyou!
THANK YOU FOR THIS ALL IN ONE VIDEO. It's been tough digging through hundreds of videos and "piecing together" what I need. I'm going to hand quilt, but this is so thorough I understand the basics and apply it to my project. Bless you!
This video is so perfect. Thorough, well lit, clear visuals, simple and complete. Beyond impressed with not just the content but the labour I know that went into making this tutorial. I can not thank you enough.
I found you through lockdown and I have found your explanations excellent. Thanks to you I've done your scrunchie, skirts, reversible bag and now made a quilt. You are a fantastic teacher.
Oh, WOW, you have given me so much confidence that I can really make a quilt! For so many years, I noticed all these intricate patchwork monstrosities and wondered how I could ever have time to create one myself! I've since seen quilts that had similarities to yours and thought they held possibilities for me, maybe. After watching your simple to understand video, I know I can do it! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
So I'll let you in on a secret: I can't sew... yet. I asked for a sewing machine for my birthday coming up, and I'm here hyping myself up for all the projects I plan to do! This video is so fun to watch, and I'm SO excited to start sewing. Watching you walk through it feels like I am standing right beside you. Thank you for making this video, please keep them coming!!
LOVE..LOVE..LOVE..LOVE.. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! Yay!!! SO GLAD TO SEE YOU AGAIN!!! ...GREAT, SIMPLE QUILT TUTORIAL. START TO FINISH. I have wanted to make a quilt like this forever. Now, I know I can! This video filled in some of the missing details for me. So 😊 happy! Can't wait for more!
I am just learning to quilt and have been overwhelmed watching a multiple variety of quilting TH-cam instructions. You are my favorite and I am now going to try this! Great job and thank you for posting this!
You are so my favorite tutor. You make everything look possible, even for beginners like myself and your fabric choices always match your happy and upbeat vibe. Thank you from the bottom of my sewing heart.
Have made numerous quilts. Wished I’d found this at the start of my journey. So clear & comprehensive. I too, love to hand stitch the back & find it relaxing 😌 - the binding fabric love, love, love 💗
Awww thanks Janey! I'm so glad you've gotten into quilting. And yes, the hand sewing :) :) I need to make another quilt so that I can get to that point in the project :) haha. Thanks for the comment! - Dana
WOW, your amazing. New to quilting & finely found a video that explains in detail. Can't thank you enough. Now I'm ready very confident to make a nice twin quilt for my beautiful granddaughter
I will CONQUER and make a KING QUILT !! Oh YES I will. Love this new video DANA!! I've been making may things from your videos over the years and LOVE all of them! Your so great at explaining every step! Thanks for all you do! One day I'd love to meet you and see your home!!!!
Using painters tape! This is brilliant! My LEAST favorite part of quilting just got so much easier. From one teacher to another, you really are very good at thoroughly explaining each step.
I just found your blog. I’m very new to quilting. I’ve watched many tutorials on this journey, and I am finishing my first quilt. You are amazing simple steps, fun, and practical. Today I plan to finish my first quilt you made it so simple for a beginner. Big Thank you. Keep sharing.
Sheila I'm so excited you're finishing your first quilt! That is so cool! Thank you for the sweet comment and kind words :) I hope you have fun with all your future sewing projects! - Dana
I've recently started quilting making mini size quilts. I dreading the binding part watching you do it I see it's actually quite easy. Thank you sew much.
I love how you explain options because there is not just one method. So thank you for your deep dive in teaching. And your up close camera action was awesome during the binding!
Thank you so much for each and every one of your tutorials! I’ve searched so many channels and your videos are the only ones that are comprehensive! Thanks for uploading and I can’t wait for more!
Oh my gosh that really makes me happy to hear. Thank you! I strive to include all the details needed because I hate it when teachers skip over stuff! So I'm glad you find the content helpful :) Have fun sewing and quilting! Dana
I found your video just so informative. By explaining the way you did and actually doing the work was the best. Your different camera angles were most helpful to me. You are professional, but also fun and light. I am 73 yr. And quilting for the first time, However I must have been sleeping when I decided to make a quilt the size of a double bed. A little lapse in judgement there, but, I like challenges. So I keep going. With your help I should have a beautiful quilt in the end. Thanks again!!
I have watched your tutorial twice and when I am doing my binding I always go back to this video to make sure I get the cut correct to finish it. I love the way you say “just do your best “. Thank you for sharing
I have wanted to try making a quilt for years, but always thought it to be way above my skill level. Seeing this, I now feel like I could possibly make one. This seems like a very easy one for a starter. Can't wait until I can afford to go buy the fabric and try making my very first quilt!
Oh my gosh! That makes me so happy to hear!....that you feel like you can do it! You totally can. There are so many sewing tools and other things that make sewing feel overwhelming. But when you break it down to the basics, it much more approachable. I try to remember that humans have been sewing by hand for a very long time. So really we don't need much! :) Have fun sewing! - Dana
Love your quilt and video. I'm almost 70 and going to attempt to sew my first quilt. Your video helped me with taking all the stress of making a quilt. thank you
Omg you explained the directions we should go when doing the quilting the best of any video. So many expect us to go ahead and finish on our own. You went to the end.
Hahah. Thanks! YESSSS. When I was learning to quilt I hated that! Every pattern would say "bind your quilt as you like"...and it was like, well how do I do that??? I'm glad this helped you! :) - Dana
Thank you! Thank You! Thank You! A great video. From beginning to end. I am making my first quilt (paper piecing)and I have a general idea of all the steps and sewing etc. I am a hands on, along with visual prompts learner. Well Dana, this video is helping me so much. I am glad you popped up on my TH-cam Feed!! 🥰😍🥰
Dana, I need to tell you... I’ve been wanting to make a quilt for about three years and I find all of the information soooo complicated. I’ve been saying to myself for years “when Dana demos one I’ll make one as she’ll show it properly “. I’ve not even watched the video yet apart from the opening 20 seconds and I already know I’m going to be pleased.
Did you said we could use a sheet for the back of the quilt or the middle. I want to make one for my family in the USA Virgin Islands and I don’t to hot. What do you recommend? Thanks so much!!
@@tolvidoati Yea. That's a good question. I haven't tried making one without the batting in the middle....so you would have to see how that works, or maybe just do a thin layer of something else in place of the batting? The bed sheet idea was for the backing fabric, since they provide a nice large cut of fabric. But try it out and see what happens! - Dana
@@MADEEveryday For a summer quilt you can use a flannel sheet instead of batting. You still need to do all the quilting because until the quilt is quilted it is very fragile. It would just fall apart in a washer. Also you might want to shrink your binding to 2 inches because it is less bulky. Happy Quilting!
What a great video! And not just for quilting :). Dana explains how to measure and cut fabric on a mat, something that is not told in a lot of other sewing videos. Thank you Dana, you are a great teacher!
i started a quilt with this video as my tutorial/pattern back in August and I just got around to finishing it the week before christmas! video was open in the tab for months as I came back for every step... this tutorial is simply the best beginner tutorial I could have chosen :)
Congrats! I'm starting this soon and I'm so excited. I was wondering: do you have to use a different stitch length, foot etc in order to get the three layers through your machine? I'm a little worried it won't go through based on other small projects! My machine is good but maybe I'm missing something!!
What a super fun take on quilting 101! I love Dana's fabrics, so this was great to see her color combinations for this project. I have a Squeeze HST quilt in my near future and I chose the orange print for the back too!! It's so bright and cheery perfect for a summer quilt.
Dana, Thank you so much for the video! Your step-by-step instruction are so helpful and easy to follow! I quilted a printed panel and your binding instructions were the best!! I think I may have to give a whole quilt a try using your pattern!!
Thanks for a great tutorial. I love your design and color coordination. This will be my first attempt at a quilt. I’m making one for myself. I want a soft , pliable quilt for winter comfort. Again, thank you for sharing your talents and gifts.
Made my first quilt following your instruction. I made the throw. Thank you for giving me the confidence that I could do it! Wish I could post a picture of it, it turned out so great!
Oh good! I'm so happy to hear that! Yay!! Good job Helen! You can share pics with me on Instagram if you share things on there. Just tag me @made_everyday (or look me up under Dana Willard). Have fun making more quilts! :) - Dana
I've watched lots of the videos about quilting but this is one of a kind. Thank you so much for making this amazing video and for giving me so much wonderful information.
I love hand binding quilts too. It might seem horribly tedious to some people, but I find it so satisfying to wrap up the quilt sandwich and make invisible stitches along the perimeter. I don't have the energy or money to make more whole quilts right now, but would love to get work binding quilts for others!
Yes yes yes. Exactly. All of that :) You should definitely start a binding business. I bet you could open a shop on etsy and do that for people! - Dana
I forgot to comment, I made my first project with what I learned watching this video. I made a blanket for my niece, it was wonderful. I didn't use strips, I did it with squares and quilt diagonally and the result couldn't have been better. Thanks for your class!
I love making quilts too. I've made a couple for my granddaughter who is due in August. Quilts give life to a room. I'm always looking for new patterns to make.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! It was my goal to make a quilt this year, but I didn't even know where to start. Thanks to you, I was able to make my first quilt. I'm thrilled.
You explain this beautifully. I've made 3 quilts now and have 3 on the go all at once but i still look for tips etc to learn. You have given me some confidence when it comes to the binding. Gosh i hate binding the quilt!!! I'll try to be as enthusiastic as you are LOL!!!
Yay, Dana! You’re back! I started making a quilt last fall, and now I’m hooked! I have now done five quilt tops. Take a look at how to use pool noodles to make your quilt sandwich. I did a quilt last week with this, and I’m now a convert! I have a knee injury, so I can’t get up and down from the floor very well.
Yes, I'm back! And oooo....I've seen people talk about the pool noodle trick. I need to try it out! Thanks for sharing Jenny. And I"m sorry about your knee. I hope you're feeling better! Dana
New Subscriber! OMG I am so happy you popped up in my suggestions. I have learned so much watching this video. And you teach with such ease. And with the same tools that most of us have at home. Meaning you’ve shown me I don’t need an expensive sewing machine to make a beautiful guilt. I’m going to try my first guilt and I’m so excited! Thank You! 🌸kindness matters🌸
Oh good good! I'm so happy to hear that Cindi! Yea, I've found with most sewing projects you don't need anything fancy....I mean, extra tools can help, or they make certain processes easier...but sometimes they also make me feel overwhelmed and uninterested in trying!....so I just stick with the bare minimum that I need ☺️ Have fun making a quilt! - Dana
THANK YOU! I am an absolute beginner quilter (I do sew and have all the doodads) but never attempted anything this big. I love stripes and looking forward to making my first quilt!
If you’re about to make your first quilt, please please watch this tutorial! It is by far the best! Thank you so much for making such a clear step by step tutorial on quilting! I was able to make my first one with ease and enjoy this process because of how clearly everything is explained
Agreed. I have been quilting since the 80’s
3r
Seriously, you just have a way of explaining everything so simply, you take the fear out of trying new things. Please keep making these videos and keeping everything so fun and simple. Thank you!
I continue to refer back to her videos when learning sewing techniques. When she even said about pre-washing fabrics being a personal preference, it’s like a huge weight was just lifted off of my shoulder. The way she explained it made so much sense
I agree ❤️😊
I had no idea quilting was so fascinating. Here's a recent feature on the New England Quilt Museum: th-cam.com/video/OB0iQ8Pp5ek/w-d-xo.html
Beautiful idea
Agreed!
I want to thank you for your upbeat personality and clarity in teaching sewing. I had a brain injury after a lung transplant so I have had to relearn many many things again, and still, many things don’t stay in my brain. Please pat yourself on the back because anyone that can explain things to a person with a brain injury, and be as inviting as you are, deserves milk and cookies for life! True, there are times I want to smack the back of your head- in a loving way- because you make it look so easy and mine is always a little more wonky! But a lot of that is my brain dropping information and not only sew the wrong sides together once and have to rip it out, but sometimes I do it two or three times! We call it the new comedy act! Thank you for what you do! It makes a difference in this persons life.

I found you through lockdown and I have found your explanations excellent. Thanks to you I've done your scrunchie, skirts, reversible bag and now made a quilt. You are a fantastic teacher.

Aw thank you so much Susie! :) Dana
I'm not so nimble and fit as Dana to get down on the floor, so I have to use a wall. But it works!

But when you break it down to the basics, it much more approachable. I try to remember that humans have been sewing by hand for a very long time. So really we don't need much! :) Have fun sewing! - Dana
Thank you for demystifying the process. I have always been rather intimidated by it. xx
Love your quilt and video. I'm almost 70 and going to attempt to sew my first quilt. Your video helped me with taking all the stress of making a quilt. thank you
Oh good! I'm so happy to hear that! Have fun making quilts Ruth! - Dana
Omg you explained the directions we should go when doing the quilting the best of any video. So many expect us to go ahead and finish on our own. You went to the end.
Hahah. Thanks! YESSSS. When I was learning to quilt I hated that! Every pattern would say "bind your quilt as you like"...and it was like, well how do I do that??? I'm glad this helped you! :) - Dana
Thank you! Thank You! Thank You! A great video. From beginning to end. I am making my first quilt (paper piecing)and I have a general idea of all the steps and sewing etc.
I am a hands on, along with visual prompts learner.
Well Dana, this video is helping me so much. I am glad you popped up on my TH-cam Feed!! 🥰😍🥰
Thank you so much I was about to give up😊.I'm making my first quilt.
Oh Good! I'm glad you're sticking with it! You've got this!! - Dana
Dana, I need to tell you...
I’ve been wanting to make a quilt for about three years and I find all of the information soooo complicated. I’ve been saying to myself for years “when Dana demos one I’ll make one as she’ll show it properly “.
I’ve not even watched the video yet apart from the opening 20 seconds and I already know I’m going to be pleased.
Hahaha. Hilarious. I love it! And I hope it helps you out! :) Thanks Richard :) Dana
Wow I feel the same way! It has been a while. Thanks for showing all the real steps.
Did you said we could use a sheet for the back of the quilt or the middle.
I want to make one for my family in the USA Virgin Islands and I don’t to hot.
What do you recommend?
Thanks so much!!
@@tolvidoati Yea. That's a good question. I haven't tried making one without the batting in the middle....so you would have to see how that works, or maybe just do a thin layer of something else in place of the batting? The bed sheet idea was for the backing fabric, since they provide a nice large cut of fabric. But try it out and see what happens! - Dana
@@MADEEveryday For a summer quilt you can use a flannel sheet instead of batting. You still need to do all the quilting because until the quilt is quilted it is very fragile. It would just fall apart in a washer. Also you might want to shrink your binding to 2 inches because it is less bulky. Happy Quilting!
Your teaching are very clear.I could understand very good.your smily teaching and very funy. Im very glade.thank you sooo much
Thanks so much Chandrika :) - Dana
You are an excellent teacher ..very clear and precise in explaining..thank you
Thanks so much! 🥰 - Dana
Omg she's back🥰. Love it.
Haha. Thanks! Dana
I am sure this woman is on crack.
What a great video! And not just for quilting :). Dana explains how to measure and cut fabric on a mat, something that is not told in a lot of other sewing videos. Thank you Dana, you are a great teacher!
I adore a bright colorful stripy throw! I think I'm going to try this pattern for a friend.
Thanks Terri :) This would be a great quilt to make for a friend! Have fun sewing!) Dana
I loved the way you clearly explained steps! I will start my first quilt project
Thank you so much for sharing this in-depth video. You are the best teacher and taught me so much.
Thank you for the kind words :) I hope the video helps and makes you excited to quilt! :) Dana
i started a quilt with this video as my tutorial/pattern back in August and I just got around to finishing it the week before christmas! video was open in the tab for months as I came back for every step... this tutorial is simply the best beginner tutorial I could have chosen :)
Congrats! I'm starting this soon and I'm so excited. I was wondering: do you have to use a different stitch length, foot etc in order to get the three layers through your machine? I'm a little worried it won't go through based on other small projects! My machine is good but maybe I'm missing something!!
What a super fun take on quilting 101! I love Dana's fabrics, so this was great to see her color combinations for this project. I have a Squeeze HST quilt in my near future and I chose the orange print for the back too!! It's so bright and cheery perfect for a summer quilt.
Thanks Jane! I love that you're making the Squeeze quilt! Yay! :) Dana
You are the best teacher of quilting.
Thank you! I hope to share more quilting videos on here! :) - Dana
Dana,
Thank you so much for the video! Your step-by-step instruction are so helpful and easy to follow! I quilted a printed panel and your binding instructions were the best!! I think I may have to give a whole quilt a try using your pattern!!
I've watched many videos about beginners and you are the best, easy and so simple in addition fun person to teach. Continue making videos!
Thanks for a great tutorial. I love your design and color coordination. This will be my first attempt at a quilt. I’m making one for myself. I want a soft , pliable quilt for winter comfort. Again, thank you for sharing your talents and gifts.
You explain everything so well! I knew nothing about quilting and now I have a much better understanding. Thanks! 🌺
Oh good! I'm so happy to hear that! I hope you try out making a quilt! It's such a fun adventure.
Made my first quilt following your instruction. I made the throw. Thank you for giving me the confidence that I could do it! Wish I could post a picture of it, it turned out so great!
Oh good! I'm so happy to hear that! Yay!! Good job Helen! You can share pics with me on Instagram if you share things on there. Just tag me @made_everyday (or look me up under Dana Willard). Have fun making more quilts! :) - Dana
Love Love the way you show us , I’m a beginner and I will be following you you did a great job of showing me how to quilt. Thank you😁
I love watching you put your quilt together can I have your fur babies they are beautiful you have a wonderful evening
Haha thanks! And yes we love those little kitties....they’re 5 month old brothers! Harry + Lloyd ☺️
I've watched lots of the videos about quilting but this is one of a kind. Thank you so much for making this amazing video and for giving me so much wonderful information.
I love hand binding quilts too. It might seem horribly tedious to some people, but I find it so satisfying to wrap up the quilt sandwich and make invisible stitches along the perimeter. I don't have the energy or money to make more whole quilts right now, but would love to get work binding quilts for others!
Yes yes yes. Exactly. All of that :) You should definitely start a binding business. I bet you could open a shop on etsy and do that for people! - Dana
I can’t wait to make my first Quilt for my first grandchild 🥹 Best video I’ve seen! Thank you.🩷
Quilts make me happy and watching someone make it perfectly makes me more happy....I learned some important skills....thanks❤️
I forgot to comment, I made my first project with what I learned watching this video.
I made a blanket for my niece, it was wonderful. I didn't use strips, I did it with squares and quilt diagonally and the result couldn't have been better. Thanks for your class!
I love your method of teaching. I have seen quite a few quilting tutorials but this is the easiest to understand. Thanks so much!
Aw thanks so much! I'm glad it's helpful :) Dana
I love making quilts too. I've made a couple for my granddaughter who is due in August. Quilts give life to a room. I'm always looking for new patterns to make.
So true! They definitely give life a room! Love that :) Thanks for watching! - Dana
So excited to get started, I too love the simplicity of your tutorial you make it easy to follow! Thank you for the free pattern 😊
Aw thank you! I hope you have fun making a quilt! This makes me want to start another one too :) haha.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! It was my goal to make a quilt this year, but I didn't even know where to start. Thanks to you, I was able to make my first quilt. I'm thrilled.
You explain this beautifully. I've made 3 quilts now and have 3 on the go all at once but i still look for tips etc to learn. You have given me some confidence when it comes to the binding. Gosh i hate binding the quilt!!! I'll try to be as enthusiastic as you are LOL!!!
Great video....you’re a good teacher and you have a soothing voice. ❤️
Thanks Cynthia :)
Yay, Dana! You’re back!
I started making a quilt last fall, and now I’m hooked! I have now done five quilt tops. Take a look at how to use pool noodles to make your quilt sandwich. I did a quilt last week with this, and I’m now a convert! I have a knee injury, so I can’t get up and down from the floor very well.
Yes, I'm back! And oooo....I've seen people talk about the pool noodle trick. I need to try it out! Thanks for sharing Jenny. And I"m sorry about your knee. I hope you're feeling better! Dana
Дана, спасибо Вам за великолепный урок, с огромным удовольствием смотрю Ваши проекты
This tutorial was great and helped me to finish my first quilt blanket. It turned out beautiful. Thank you!
I love all your videos !!! You are so easy to follow. I have made many first day dresses for my little girl for lots of holidays.
Thanks Kelly! I'm glad you made some dresses. I'm sure your little girl was thrilled :) Dana
I'm in love with all of your fabric collections❤ Great tutorial. Quilt season is here!!
Thank you so much. This helped me beyond belief
Oh good! Yay! I'm so glad. Have fun tackling a quilt :) - Dana
New Subscriber! OMG I am so happy you popped up in my suggestions. I have learned so much watching this video. And you teach with such ease. And with the same tools that most of us have at home. Meaning you’ve shown me I don’t need an expensive sewing machine to make a beautiful guilt. I’m going to try my first guilt and I’m so excited! Thank You! 🌸kindness matters🌸
Oh good good! I'm so happy to hear that Cindi! Yea, I've found with most sewing projects you don't need anything fancy....I mean, extra tools can help, or they make certain processes easier...but sometimes they also make me feel overwhelmed and uninterested in trying!....so I just stick with the bare minimum that I need ☺️ Have fun making a quilt! - Dana
Just learning to quilt. Your easy step by step instructions really are great. Thank you
I was so stressed about binding my quilt until this video!! Thank you!
THANK YOU! I am an absolute beginner quilter (I do sew and have all the doodads) but never attempted anything this big. I love stripes and looking forward to making my first quilt!
Oh Awesome! I'm so happy to hear that! Quilting is such a fun adventure! I hope you enjoy it :) - Dana
This video rocked! You made quilting seem so approachable and I actually did it!! Thank youuu
