I love to quilt. It is absolutely like therapy for me. I have LOTS of rulers, and I pretty much use them all for various projects. I also bought a Janome 1/4" foot! I have not used it yet, so your video is very helpful and inspiring!! That quilt block is GOR-GEOUS!!! Well done!!
There wasn't anything on TV yesterday, and I had some leftover pink neoprene, and some zippers I got in a package at a thrift store, so I made a zipperd pouch. My first zipper project! Good stuff, thanks.
I love the magic pins. My fav ones for quilting are the forked ones. They are wonderful, but I have them all. I do need something to make my foot pedal be still. I've got a new ruler ordered that's suppose to make doing HST much easier, so we'll see. I love quilt block !! Right now I'm stuck making bunny rabbit Easter bags for grandchildren and the kids at church. I had never made this pattern and had no idea all the steps involved when I offered to make all of these. I'm so over these bunny bags by now that it's not funny.... And I have 15 more to go. Lol 🤦🏻♀️
Thats wierd....I finally got a few things today on my list. #1. 2 spools of rainbow serger thread for using on upper looper for neckbands. I've been looking for awhile and finally found some locally #2. Flexible measuring device, searched four different retailers and finally found them in stock. (I don't like buying online if I can avoid it prefer to shop bricks&mortar stores. #3. Rolled hem foot for the janome. Lost it somewhere. Now that I finally replaced it, I'm sure it'll suddenly show up. #4. Several chalk markers. ... Something I've been making recently out of stash of single quilt blocks made over the years that didn't go beyond the one block is.... Bowl warmers or bowl holders or whatever they're called. I usually make three different sizes. One block on the inside one for the outside with scrap wadding in the middle. I've hacked Helens closet free pdf pattern into three sizes and removing the four points to make it more a flatter hexagon shape.
Thank you, thank you!!!!...for showing me the Pedal Sta mat. I just ordered one from Amazon. I soooo hate chasing that pedal and can't wait to have that mat under my foot.
This is such a great quilt and i think your fabric choices were magical and I admire the planning you had to do to get this effect. The prints provide a very complex and interesting look. And thanks for adding the bit about your binding being too short! I totally identify! 🤩🥰
I’ve also moved ALOT from being a marine corps wife. I love how you referred to all of your houses! We’re retired now and even though I think we don’t have to move again… Ya never know! 😊
I began quilting during the shutdown and I began with making blocks. I have lots of blocks. Some I have used for pin cushions, drink coasters, bowl cozy and hot pads. So far my favorite block is the chain. And I also purchased the magic pins recently love them.
ha ha- thought i was the only thrift store zipper- hoarder! and, YES there are also in a large green Tupperware cannister. Love your new find (soon to be mine) 😂 Great fun video, thx for sharing
I have my quarter inch foot for my Bernina, and I just love it. It is a high quality foot and allows me to have perfect scant quarter inch by just moving the needle over one click even with a straight stitch plate on it.
I have never heardofa pedal sta, but it's going on my wishlist. I've tried shelf liner as well, and my foot pedal is always escaping. One of the sewing tools that has gone on my want list is the seam ripper and stiletto combo. It seems there are always new exciting notions for the sewing room.😊
4:09 BTW…. put a little 3M hook in the middle of that small square quilting ruler, makes it easier to pick up/hold/position 🤗 It’s always the 2nd thing I add after the sure-grippy dots 🤗
Thank you so much. I’ve had a Pedal Stay for years and hated it because the pedal just slides around the mat. Your video showed me that I was missing the Velcro on the pedal. Mine didn’t come with Velcro or any kind of instruction so I didn’t know that’s how it worked. I had adhesive Velcro in my supplies and now my pedal stays put like it’s supposed to. ❤
I’ve been binging on your videos this morning. 😊 I’m ordering me one of those mats for my pedal today! I have hardwood floors and I am forever chasing my pedal with my foot. 😢
I never heard of the pedal stay- genius and I am going to get one immediately! I also LOVE your idea for those orphan blocks. I have so many and never know what to do with them, but cannot just throw them out. I am looking forward to your adding that video!
Fun video -- you're very pleasant to watch/hear. I appreciate the product ideas, but will resist purchasing the Pedal Sta. Chasing that 👣 pedal while sewing is my only exercise!
Fun video 🙂 I've been hearing about those magic pins lately...might have to try them. I only use Creative Grids brand rulers- I find they hardly ever slip - I also set a 5lb weight on the far end of the ruler when making long cuts. Really helps. Oh, and I put ruler guards on all my rulers for safety (on amazon they're listed as "O'Lipfa rotary cutter shield")
Hi there! You can see it in my sewing room video here: Tour My New Sewing Room! Plus Tips for Small, Crafty Spaces th-cam.com/video/QYdntlv5qGU/w-d-xo.html But if you look up “husky adjustable height two drawer” on the Home Depot website, that’s the one 👍🏻
I went into a sewing store and asked for a quarter inch foot. The owner looked at me and asked, “You mean a Go Fast foot?” Then he explained you could sew fast with it. It was sold!
A lot of these tools look amazing! I need the thing to keep the pedal from slipping! I thought it was going to be really expensive, but it’s 15.99 right now 😱 I love those zippers! One of these days I’m going to order a whole pack. .50(ish) cents a zipper isn’t bad! I think my sewing store has them for .25-.75 each. But the ones you showed are so cute! I definitely need to try those pins out!!!! I normally go for clips, but sometimes you just need pins! The grip stickers for rulers are so helpful! I have tremors and would not be able to cut anything out without them!
Ok I wondered if that was it. I guess I have just way too much fabric. I love Love your projects - the dolls are so adorable and I hope to make one for each of my granddaughters for Christmas. I have 9! Love your videos!!! 🩷
I do have a question for you.... I have the exact same sewing machine as you do. I have just finished my first quilt top (a King size!) with it, and I am getting ready to bind it. Should I use my walking foot to attach the binding? Also, can you share the link for the actual 1/4" foot you bought? I was looking at mine and it is not Janome specific, so I want to get one that is and I want to make sure I buy the right one! Thank you!!
I always use my walking foot to bind 👍🏻. Here is the 1/4” foot I got - I had thought it was Janome brand, but it’s not! But it does list my machine as one it’s made to fit and I find it works perfectly: amzn.to/3U9yOQ0
I am enjoying watching your channel. I have the same machine. I agree that the machine is fantastic! What button did you push to move the needle when using the 1/4” seam foot? Is it the FS button and did you have to set it? I have that foot as well and manually have to set the needle.
@@mariamarquez6856 On my machine, which is also an MC6650, I have the straight stitch plate on my machine, and the 1/4" stitch is #7. So, when I turn my machine on, I simply press the number 7 and it automatically switches to the 1/4" seam.
I have that husky sewing table also. Just realized last month that the bar near the floor does not have to be in the middle but can be installed at the back if the table away from the front. Does that make sense?
Who the heck pins when they’re doing piece work? You should be using that acorn precision glue. And every single time you put your pin into that pin cushion you are dulling the point.
For those of us on a budget, the Acorn Piecing Glue gets expensive. Pins are a once a year or every couple year purchase. And whether or not your pin cushion dulls your pins depends on what its filled with. Walnut shell will actually sharpen your pins.
@@trinam2503 it depends on if you’re anal or not if you are doing piecing, you really want to use that glue or even Elmers white washable glue not pins
@@trinam2503 well, you didn’t pay attention to my comment I said if you’re anal you’re gonna want to use glue there is a professional piecer and that’s what she uses. Actually she’s the one that came up with the acorn glue. It’s all about working smarter, not harder
@@trinam2503 I don’t know if you know who Joy Bernhard is she has her own TH-cam channel and she is now just discovered how awesome using glue is Not everybody is going to have an advanced skill level and when you use glue you can get the job done fast get it accurate and that builds confidence

You can get a stiletto at harbor freight
you can sharpen your pins with steel wool. I made a pin cushion to use to just sharpen my pins. I don't store them in it though

Ive got it it works great
Holes in farcical is aggravating. If it happens drag a needle or straight pin across it several times
Holes in fabric is what it’s supposed to be

Do you cut down the fun zippers or do you buy different sizes. I have never put in a zipper in anything. Cant wait
I do cut them down to size 👍🏻
