    The mother of one of my daughter’s oldest friends (since Kindergarten) just lost her 5 year battle to ovarian cancer. The mom was in the middle of making a quilt for my daughter’s friend’s daughter (her granddaughter), using the granddaughter’s receiving blankets from when she was a baby. (The granddaughter is 13 now.) Sadly, she did not finish. She got all the blocks constructed and sewn together and was in the process of quilting the backing and batting in between. When my daughter’s friend came to me and asked me if I could finish the quilt, I was both truly honored and terribly nervous! I sew clothing for my own granddaughter; I crochet afghans, but I have never quilted! Thank you so much for this in depth tutorial so I can finish a very special quilt designed by a very special angel in heaven. ❤️

    Don't forget to add a label to your finished quilt! Whether it's a gift for someone else or a quilt for yourself, having a name & date is such a great bit of history. And if it's for a special event, add that info & the place. It can be handwritten on a fabric remnant with a archive pen or printed from the computer or embroidered - whatever works for you.

My biggest issue is loading correctly and using pantos...Ive never seen you use them since I’ve always seen you use the computer, but I know there’s many of us who need to learn how to advance to line up correctly.

    I wanted to have a go at quilting, having very tiny amount of sewing knowledge, thought it would be really hard. But your tutorial really made me feel I can do this and get excited. I was very lucky to win a sewing machine recently and am learning how to use it, I've started with napkins to practice and now have the bug ~ quilting here I come

      If you use the precuts - 5" squares (charm packs) or the long, 2 inch strips, most of the cutting is done for you. And a good, sharp rotary cutter & rulers - it goes pretty fast and helps you to be accurate!

    Donna, Thank you so much for this video. I've been quilting on and off for about 30 years. I can't wait to get back to my quilting after watching your tutorial. I've learnt so much from you today. I've now got
    that excitement back that I had all of those years ago. Thank you again.

    PERFECT instruction and very detailed for the newbie quilter. Thank you for putting so much time into your videos, they teach us newbies SOOO much! Please don't stop and yes, I'd love to see a video on the computer setup of the longarm. Also, thank you for reminding us that quilting isn't about 100% perfection, it should be about having fun!

I am just learning to sew and just learning to quilt. I am almost finished my first one which incorporated a little of her fabric for one of my nieces. I couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you so much! ❤

    Donna, you are really amazing! I never saw a binding stitched from the front TWICE to catch that edge on the back. Just brilliant. Your manner, patience, attention to detail, and those wonderful Matt close-ups make your videos absolutely outstanding! Thank you so much for your passion and excellence. A hundred years ago, women would have needed their mothers and grandmothers to teach them these skills. Now, with a Jordan Fabrics free TH-cam video, I have that ancient knowledge at my fingertips. Thank you, thank you! ❤️

    Donna: That method of using the pin to push out the corner when you have too much on one side?? Genius!!! I struggled for years with the corners not matching. Quilting game changer for sure! Thank you so much!

  • @emilyrosemackey3255
    @emilyrosemackey3255 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is wonderful! I am in the process of teaching myself to quilt on my home machine, and your tip about measuring borders from the center of the top is just what I needed to make my top lay flat after I frame it. I also *much* prefer this method of binding to using homemade double-fold bias tape like I previously did...my corners are so much better! Thanks for the excellent walk through!

    I would also love to see the setting up of a long arm. I have a friend with a long arm but not computerized. You have to free motion quilt using her machine with the handles to move the machine across the quilt. It does about three sweeps then the bobbin has to be replaced. .
    Thank you for your videos. They are very helpful and give me loads of hints, especially colour choices that I perhaps would not have thought of before. Thank you too for the free patterns They are full of great ideas.

      I fully agree with you! Never done quilt before, and I was going to do something so stupid as first to join the borders and then fit the quilt between the borders and struggle just to find out it is not going to work! While watching Donna's tutorial it was " Ahhh so that is this way, ooooh, right, I get it now...."
