Very clear. I haven’t done a drunkards path in years, I really needed this clear reminders on a bunch of points.
Thank you for this video. Best way I've found. I can now do great drunkards path pieces.
Excellent instructions and video! GREAT camera views!
Glad to watch this video. You have shown me that I don’t need to buy that special presser foot for sewing drunken path blocks because I already have the presser foot - quarter piecing foot. Thank you. I could see the procedure was very similar except for your tip to make sure the top piece is moved so as to be square with the bottom piece. Such a relief I can use the presser foot I already own. Greetings from sunny Queensland. 🇦🇺
Nice instruction and using your camera! Thank you!
Thanks Ebony, can't wait to cut and sew this block. Your tips will sure help in construction.
Thanks for having such great, close-up videos!
Awesome! This is the most informative video I've seen on sewing. No fear now about the path! Also I can't wait to try that out on a shirt collar. You're awesome!
I love the 1/4 inch foot suggestion. So great!
thanks Ebony!
this is a great tutorial, very informative and to the point!
TYVM!!! I've watched hundreds of quilting tutorials and while several have mentioned using a small stitch length, they don't actually give a number. I'm too much a novice to try the drunkard's path but it's on my quilting bucket list. Great tips!
+Anamaria Gil I am also a novice, but I tried this block last night and I found it really easy to get great results (wooo hooo! doing the happy dance). I used Elisa's Backporch 7" Crazy Curves Template to cut the sections. I used LoveBug's method to sew, and the results of my blocks were spectacular, so much so that I am hooked on curved piecing for life! Just don't starch the fabric and it's a snap. Don't wait for the bucket list--do this ASAP. You won't regret doing so at all. Go for it!
Oh gosh! Not sure how I missed this comment, but in case it helps others: most sewing machines ship with the stitch length set at 2.5mm, which is for garment construction/general sewing. For piecing, I reduce to about 1.8-2mm. HTH!
Thanks for sharing this great tutorial1 I love how you zoom in and out and I can get a real good look at how you are lining things up.I am a very visual learner and I have just discouvered your site and I will continue to visit all your tutorials. I especially like the one with the double wedding ringj! Awesome job!
Thank you thank you thank you!!! Your video was so helpful. I was terrified to try this but your method really helped me!
This helped so much!!!!!!!! Thanks!! I'm still having a bit of trouble with getting them to line up at the end though but practice makes perfect!!
Thank you very much for sharing this demo, very good trick
very detailed tutorial. Great job.
All your tips very helpful. My first 20 blocks have turned out nice. Looking at this tutorial again I realize you might be able lift your foot by a knee lift? Wow that would be nice! Thanks again!
Thank You!!!! Works perfect
this was great! Thank you. I would love to have seen it pressed, and i would really love to see what you made with it!
Great video
This particular unit finishes at 4-1/2", and makes a 9" finished block. They also make one that is 3-1/2", and makes a 7" finished block for the Studio and the GO. In addition, the GO has a size that makes an 7" unit that finishes into a 14" block.
Very good lesson! No more pins for me.
Thank you. I was considering buying the master curve foot. Clearly I don't need to do that.
What die cut machine do you have & name of drunkards path pattern/block? new to all of this
Great video! I am a painter bitten by the quilting bug, but I would like to make some tutorials of my painting techniques.What camera you are using and is it simple to use?
Hi Davida! I use a Sony HandyCam! My videos have improved over the years, but I'm still using the HandyCam. I bought a newer version that has some additional features, but found the HC's are a great budget option. Now I have 3 of them and I use them all!
You are Trully THE! Die Cut Talking ENCYCLOPEDIA...Just what I was looking For..Haa-haa I can't WAIT To get Your Book. "Dear Santa" I've been a very good Gurl this Year &.......
Do you starch fabric 1st?
No.
+1inaclaire I've tried this method both ways, because I already had starched block cuts available. I found that it is far more difficult to stitch the starched material than it is to stitch the unstarched material. It was pretty easy to stitch the unstarched fabric because of the give of the bias. Whereas the starched fabric had very little give, it caused me to mumble some bad words. Don't starch, trust me on that!
