800? More like a million comments for an additional design wall. Pat Sloan- you do you!!! 😂👍
Remember those big maps they had in school that worked like a roller blind. It would be cool if they made a design “wall” like that. I’d but it. That way if you didn’t need it for a while you could just have it roll up. Yes, I think I’m on to something here…
The "I Love to Quilt" Page is the one I access, and share the most. It is so helpful, and handy. Thank you for making that available.
Thanks for Norm and Nannette adventures. Starting on a table topper.
Pat, I do agree with others who are not sure about placing a flannel over the design wall . Thank you for all you do for us ! Love your demos !!
I'm with you Pat! I would think the flannel would cause a hot mess! If you try, please video to ease my mind as well. :) Maybe a flannel backed table cloth, so the "vinyl" would face your current design wall and you could use the flannel side. Maybe make it to where it unrolls like a blind (you know, the old kind that rolls down, then rolls back up?).
That is what I pin on a wall for a temporary design wall. Bought one at the dollar store.
You crack me up, Pat! “Pink is just light red!” 🤣😉
Oh Pat, you have the patience of a saint! Everything you do is so well laid out and easy to find. Still, I guess some people still need you to hold their hand when they want to find things.
As for your design wall -- do what works for you. What you're doing now seems to be working just fine so don't worry about it. It's your home and your business. You should do things how you want. I agree with you about using the other wall. I would rather look at a finished quilt as well!
Keeping up with your videos when we’ve got Wifi on our river cruise vacation, Pat! Love to watch-always learn something!!
When thinking about design walls, I’ve often thought about those maps that pulled down from the ceiling when I was in school. Way back when 😉. Something that I could roll down when I needed a design wall but could also be rolled back up to the ceiling when I didn’t need It.
Lol. I thought the same thing and just wrote a comment. Well, you beat me to the idea. I guess we think alike.
@ RsIslandCrafts - Robin, use a roll up shade. You know one of those plastic ones (I had a white one) or you could use a bamboo one that has tiny reeds. I have seen them as window coverings. You attach a piece of flannel or batting, use pins, glue or tack it on by hand, and you are ready. Place your blocks on there you can roll the blocks all the way up and roll it down when you want to work on it.
It will work over a closet door, on the back of a door or even in a doorway that doesn’t get used very much. Of course the size depends on you, your needs and your space.
@@debbiebrugman4543 Thanks Debbie. I thought about the shades but never thought to add batting or flannel to them. 🦩
Keep doing it the way you have always done. It’s. Your home and you know how much space you have. I love everything you do. Don’t change a thing.
You know what would be cool as a design board... remember those maps that they would pull down and roll up like a shade in the classroom...in fact, I think they had multiple maps on one bracket you could pull and roll up... it would be cool if you had one of those with flannel and then stacked design boards!! haha
I watch you every morning! Keep up the good work.
Pat, when you were talking about possible ways to add more design wall space.....made me think of the old Smokey Stover cartoon, with all kinds of whacko inventions....anyway, with your sense of humor, can just imagine what you could come up with if you ''channeled'' old Smokey's inventions....😎.
Putting a flannel over your current design wall will result in a mess and here's how I know. I travel with two flannel faced design boards. They have to be face to face so the patches on them don't come off in my bag, but there has to be something between them that isn't clingy to fabric (paper, usually the instructions). If that's not in place there will be fabric pieces on the floor and on the wrong design board when they are separated. I hold the two design boards together with large elastic bands while in transit. The only thing I can think of that would work over your current design wall would be a flannel backed plastic tablecloth. Your reason for hanging a quilt on your outside wall is indisputable. :) One of our jobs as quilters is to determine for ourselves what works for us and our spaces. I stand in awe of how well you have your space set up and organized! Carry on and thanks for sharing so generously of your expertise. :)
Love the blue stars. It's the right pick! About the flannel over your design wall...first I agree with you to NOT take down those pretty finished quilts you hang on your back wall. They are inspiration! It may not be glamorous, but a flannel backed tablecloth might work instead of plain flannel. It can be rolled up on a pool noodle and stored...somewhere
@ Anne Marsaw, love your idea about a flannel backed tablecloth and pool noodle. Terrific.
With all those selvages maybe you could make some bundles for give away prizes for some of us who may want to do the quilt but do not have many/any. Thanks for all you do.
I watch your presentation every day. I have learned a great deal.
I use a planner to keep me organized. I remember more if I write it down.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
You are so generous Pat with yr time& teaching methods. So enjoy when you show the selection of projects & fabric. You are the Best!!
I heard a new idea for portable white boards...use an old movie screen. Mount on ceiling and you only use when you need it.since it's easily rolled back up!
Just saw Norm on a date with Nanette in Australia. They look adorable together !
I love the idea of using your starter pieces for another quilt. You are a genius Pat.
The enjoyment that you get from having that finished quilt on that wall is so much that you just can't give that up. We all need motivation and beautiful finished quilts are definitely that.
I have a Solaris too which I rarely use. Thank you for showing sewing on it as now I need to piece on it instead of just using it for quilting or embroidery. Also I love the idea of start and stop block to lock in the stitching. I have tons of 2.5 squares and now have a use for them
Love that you went with the blue stars!!
By the way, I have a curtain rod over my design wall with clips to hang a finished quilt over it. So you could have a design wall behind your finished quilt if you go that way.
You should have a giveaway of your extra salvages I would love to receive them and do my own quilt since you have enough to do 100 quilts lol I would even pay for my own shipping!
Morning to all the Zoners!
Yet another suggestion a friend of mine bought a blind from ikea and put flannel on it and she pulled it down when needed just a suggestion thank you for all you do ♥️
Good morning, thank you for everything you do for the quilting community! How about a flannel backed table cloth over your design wall for a additional design wall?
Pat. great positivity. You remind me of the late great Julia Child of cooking fame. similar "go with your own recipie" approach.
peace from near Baltimore
I’m loving the dark blue stars! Beautiful
I use plastic table clothes with the flannel like stuff on it’s back, the plastic top keeps it from bothering what is under it, it makes it easier to work multiple projects, I put a large curtain rod at the top of my board to hang the table clothes from, this way I can hang 2 at the same time & I work on 3 different projects
I purchased the Bella Solid panel last year and just made a little quilt throw out of it - the cat loves it! I use it often when I need a coordinating Bella solid and don't feel surfing through the internet for a particular color. And, it keeps me out of trouble from buying more fabric while shopping - Squirrel!
I love how you did the stars first. I think I am going to try that on this one.
I don't even have a design wall. I lay everything out on my king size bed. So I think you do awesome with the space you have. Quilt on!
My favorite part about using a planner is it keeps me organized! :)
Guten morgen!
I get more things done if I use a planner. Plus I like to check things off, I feel like I have accomplished something.
Walmart has flannel backed plastic tablecloth material. It might be a good,option if you decide to go with the additional “draping” design wall.
Another possible idea for another design board.... Can you hang some flannel on your portable quilt hanger (you have the salvage quilt on it in the video) then use that as a temporary design wall. Just a thought.
You could try a flannel-backed tablecloth. The plastic or vinyl side would be against the underneath project and the flannel side facing out to put up another project. Because the plastic/vinyl isn't clingy, I'm assuming it wouldn't disrupt what you have hanging underneath.
Hi Pat you could always put a design wall behind the quilt when working on the design take quilt rehang when you want to hide the design wall thank you for all your videos
Absolutely Love your teal top!!!
I love your top-color, design & everything. I do love your channel too. Keeps me encouraged to keep going!!😉
I love your show but can seem to subscribe.
I love your shirt....
Today is hopefully going to be a catch-up day...I'm trying to get my Jelly Roll Sizzle blocks combined and then get the squares laid out for Oh My Stars. Thank goodness they are both quick quilts!
I think the flannel over the made quilt would work but not so much on unfinished pieces. I use old cotton sheets over a bed and can fold them away if the bed is needed. Even that way some unfinished pieces underneath stick to the back of the sheet.
A cheap vinyl flannel backed tablecloth would work to pin over project wall. Various sizes are available. Pin with Vinyl side to the back (away from you). It’s what 800 Quilter’s use!
gracias for all your sharing! u brighten my day
I would put a piece of flannel over the quilt on the really busy days you could use it as a design wall, then just take it down when it’s not needed. Nifty Notions has a design wall that is felt, stuff really sticks to it . You can clip it to your frame that’s holding the zinger quilt, that’s what I do at retreats
I just bought the kit last night, I plan on quilting the panel then cutting it into chunks based on the color groups, putting grommets on the edge so that I use a large ring to keep them together.
Love seeing the finished quilt.❤
A flannel backed tablecloth is a great suggestion. It would work.
I wish my Janome had a laser guide beam! I like how the star legs 'float' in the quilt. I made my almost 3 year old niece an Oh My Stars quilt with 5 different Paw Patrol prints and bright pink stars. She loves it and has fun finding her favorite characters. Thanks for the free pattern.
I think you can buy them separately. Saw a video on how to mount it on machine.
Your hanging quilt frame with the Red Zinger quilt on it could hold your portable extra design wall. I have the Fons & Porter portable design wall, it has flannel on one side and a plastic backing. It has grommets at the top to hang with. I also like the idea of a design wall behind your quilt on the backside of your table.
What a great feature that laser beam is! Thanks for the demo!
Try using a flannel backed table cloth. You can roll up your project stuck to the flannel and the "front" of the table cloth is usually plastic so your project on the wall won't stick.
A flannel backed table cloth from Dollar General. It's only flannel on one side, it's cheap, and it wouldn't ruin the stuff underneath because it's vinyl
For the design wall...how about a flannel backed plastic tablecloth. It wouldn't stick to the previously made blocks. Just a though. Good Luck.
I regret not saving all my selvages. I love that quilt.
Just a thought...could you hang a design wall behind the finished quilt over the fireplace? Make the design wall more flush and put the finished quilt on a curtain rod extender so you can slide it out of the way when working on the design wall and slide it back when finished? Like when you have 2 layers of curtains...Hope I’m explaining that clearly, lol!
When about put a curtain rod at the top with a rolled flannel backed table cloth setup as a Roman Curtain (I think that is what it is called) so you can pull it down for use when needed do the additional layout for filming then remove the blocks and roll it back up
I love it Pat! Another great video - Sorry I couldn't make the chat today!!
My sil put a old style roll up shade, mounted flannel on it and she can roll up when done , she has a window there
v creative..well done
Totally off topic: Love your blouse in this video! It's my absolute favorite color. Would love to know where you got it.
Love the look of the red zinger, I don’t have selvages but have strips😀 thanks
Love the Sloan Zone! I don't have selvages but will use scraps for the project. My sewing room is under construction so it may be awhile before I can get back to sewing. Take care!
Some thoughts about a second design board.They make extension cords with the wire coming out the side so it is flat against the wall if it has to be behind something. The second board could be in front of the wall board just to be moved away when you need a second one instead of storing it somewhere as your 2nd board. If you put it on the second wall a quilt could still hang in front of it to be enjoyed until you need the second board. You definitely need a second preview space sometimes. ( A lot of the time. LOL)
Design wall idea: Hang like a double or triple rail that has sliding walls on it. But ea. rails would have to be long enough to allow ea. wall to slide behind your standing shelf unit. Love your blouse color/print today.
Good morning to all❤🙏
Enjoyed the lesson on built in laser. I forget about it when I'm sewing; gotta get my head more into it so I fully utilize my machine features. Red zinger is more than I want to tackle. O, MY STARS is going to be so nice. I'm still auditioning fabric for my stars. Can we have multi-colored stars? Lovely visit today. Catch you online tomorrow.
I think Kendall’s had two different stars.
Thank you
I use a few pieces of styrofoam which came in shipping containers and stuck on the wall with alien tape
I pin pieces onto it - great small design area near machine - love alien tape - you can use it everywhere and reuse it - sticks anywhere and removable
Instead of just flannel, use a "plastic" table cloth that has flannel on the back. You could probably roll it up and tie it when not in use.
I actually do this. It works really well
I was just going to come say this!
Pool noodles are always helpful when rolling anything. Start from the bottom of the wall and roll up. Use long straight pins to hold in place. Can stand up in a corner to store.
I do this too. Works great.
That is what I use. Found them at the dollar store!
My Bernina a is at the Spa for the one year tune up. I miss my machine. It will be 3 weeks before I get it back . I have other machines but it’s not the same. Lol
I use the panel to choose paint colors!
I would think just flannel on top of blocks would pull blocks off design wall too. But what if you used a flannel backed tablecloth? The non flannel part would be touching the blocks already up there. Just a thought if you experiment!
If you take a plastic tablecloth that has flannel type material backing and pin it over what you haven on your design wall with the backing side out the plastic side of the tablecloth won't stick to what you have on the design wall.
Enjoy your videos. Can you tell me the pattern names of two quilts on your walls ( red) and other with (green, blue, red with appliqué). Can I purchase the patterns or kits?
Put your rod on a hinge that holds the quilt then you can just move it back and forth, over the design board
You could put 2 L hooks just above the plug to set a big board like an easel?
I use flannel backed vinyl tablecloth’s. Fabric doesn’t stick to vinyl side.
Instead of a piece of batting or other flannel, maybe a flannel back vinyl tablecloth might work. The vinyl would not grab the blocks on the wall. Right? Maybe? Just a thought first thing in the morning...
Use a flannel backed tablecloth for a portable design board.
Put a flannel up where the red zinger is now and you can remove . It could be very temporary.
I have a pop up design board. Can't remember what brand it it. Came in a bag. I don't use the legs for standing it up. I just lean it against the wall.
A possibility for the design board...a cheap vinyl, flannel backed tablecloth. Then the stuff on your regular design board wouldn't stick to the vinyl and would be less likely to come off when you remove it. Maybe...
What about a flannel back tablecloth? It would be slick on the pretty side & flannel on the back side. Just a thought…..
I would like to see exactly how she sews the squares together. Nesting does not always make them match. Does Pat use glue or pins?
Pat Here, if I use anything it is a pin. never glued
I would love to have a journal to help me. I have had a hard time keeping things strait. i have had 2 strokes and really sometimes don't remember what I have done. I have notebooks but don't help I don't know how to do this stuff to help me. I would like some help in any way I can get it.
Love the beam. Anyone know if I could purchase a beam to put on my machine?
you need to buy a Babylock, it comes on it, This is built in
If you are making the Oh My Stars in a larger size how do you suggest laying it out and sewing it together? It’s too large for my design wall.
My question is, what to use to draw with to do the lines. I have different things and the width is so different and it ends up not right.
I am making this quilt and have a question on making the stars. I have place mt 3" square on the upper right corner had have sew on the diagonal. My question is when trimming the back, is there suppose to be 2 pieces that you cut off?
Hi Sylvia! When you do the 'cut away' you do trim the 'back' triangles away and leave the TOP so that is it just ONE layer of fabric instead of 3 layers of fabric
❤️❤️❤️
May I ask where I can get one of the boards that you use to lay out your blocks on?
