I have never seen anyone cut strips from mid fabric to the edge. Using the large square ruler to do this makes so much sense. Thank you very much for showing this.
brand new quilter , i thought you did a no nonsense way to learn thank you !!
I do agree, i LOVED the pre cuts when they first came out but realized they aren't cut so precise
Thank you! This was very helpful and I could hear you just fine!
Thank you, Christine! I'm a brand new sewer and just made my first project bag. The cutting was the hardest part for me! Your tips will definitely come in handy for my next one. I appreciate your time and effort to make these tutorials to help us! Have a wonderful day!
Thank you, Shirl! How exciting to get your first project bag sewn! I hope you have lots of fun!!
This was perfect, thank you! And I would love to see you make a whole series on sewing quilts.
Thank you!!
You would be an excellent teacher! There is always something to learn about quilting and todays video did that for me! Thank you so much for taking the time.
Thank you! I am always picking up different tips/tricks/methods from other people. I love sharing just in case I found a tip that might work for other people too!
Thank you so much!! As a person who is about to dive into quilting, any tutorials from you would be the best thing ever!! You are an awesome teacher. Thanks again :) Best, Sharon
Thank you, Sharon! I am going to be sewing this week, but am working up a plan for the video series. I hope to start recording them next week!
Thank you! I'm making my first quilt and this was so so helpful getting started
Happy sewing!! ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for a great video. Thinking about beginning to quilt and don't have any friends or family to " show me the ropes." Really appreciate having a Flosstube friend take the time to show me. Looking forward to other videos like this!
Thank you so much!
Excellent video! Thank you.
Love this video! Thank you!
Thank You! Excellent video for a newbie like me😊
you did a good job there were things you taught i didnt know, thank you,
Thank you for showing us great tips. I appreciate them. I never saw cutting this way. I like it for straight cuts. I always enjoy your videos.
Thank you!!
You are one awesome lady!! Thank you so much for all your videos!! I cross stitch and I'm a wanna be quilter and actually just finished my first quilt top. Cutting is my Achilles heel!! It intimidates me so much!!! You also make me laugh!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!
Aw, thank you! I enjoy sharing what I've learned. It took me a while to learn get my fabric cuts straight! It may not be the best way to do this, but it works for me. I hope it will work for you too!
I asked you for this tutorial and thank you so much. I totally get it now. Sometimes my brain just complicates simple things and this clarified it perfectly. I hope you make more tutorials in the future.
That's right! I couldn't remember who asked for it, or on which video! But now that I see Tina in your profile picture (LOVE Bob's Burgers!), I remember it was you! I am so glad I was able to explain it okay. My brain does things like that too and I really have to see people demonstrate it so I can better understand. And sometimes I have to watch it several times. Or way more than several times. 😂😂😂
Thank You for teaching this😊
You’re great at sharing your expertise in a non intimidating way!
Thank you, Leslie! That is an amazing compliment! I appreciate it!
Awesome video! I'm trying to learn some basic quilting so this was a big help. Keep 'em coming I say! I was so sad that you were in pain whenever you had to do a bunch of cutting but then I saw the video with the table you got from your husband. Hubby for the win!!
Thank you, Olivia! I definitely plan on doing more quilting videos, once I finish up these bags! Hubby did good!
Another great video Christine! I love you sewing and quilting tutorials. I would love to see you make a quilt with the charm pack and the WOF cuts.
Thank you so much! I will be working on a plan for an easy quilting series!
Hi Christine, great tutorial, I would love a quilt making tutorial. Thank you so much for all your expertise. Have a great week. Hugs. Francine
Thank you, Francine! I will make plans to do a quick quilt series!
Thank you for the video. Just starting out and it is very informative. Look forward to more quilting videos.
Thank you so much!
Thanks Christine, that was great!
Thank you!
You did such a very good job of explaining. Thanks so much.
Thank you! 💖
I would love to see how you make your project bags. I love the quilted lining and your choice of fabric is always perfect. You are very talented.
Thank you so much! I'm sorry I can't do a tutorial on that bag as it is from a pattern by another designer. She gave me written permission to make a large quantity for sale. If you sew and you want to make your own you can find the pattern here: www.byannie.com/project-bags Sorry that I'm not able to help with that, Annie might have some issues with it...LOL!!!
Great instructions. Thanks!
Thank you!!
Thank you for showing how to cut strips for quilting. You explain how and why very well.
Thank you!!
You could take and left your table by using 2by4s .just cut them to the size of the feet of the table you are using.beautiful cloth
Thank you, Linda! That is a great idea! My table is on castors, but I will see if there's a way to take them off, or find lifts that will hold the castors.
Very informative! I’d love to see you see a quilt 💕💕
Thank you!!
THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you so very much:)
Thank you for this video it was really helpful and yes please I would love you to do a video of you making a quilt 😁👍
Thank you! I will definitely put up a series, I just need to get some time to record it. Hopefully next week!
Thank you
Great Tutorial Thank you !! :))
Thank you!
I had gotten a lot of fabric years ago (like 10 or 11 years) that I was going to use for a couple of quilts - a sunflower and cow print for a friend and Superman and red and blue for an ex (Superman was his favorite - he even had a tattoo). The quilts weren't going to be anything fancy or spectacular, but I never got around to making them. My friend decided she didn't really want a quilt afterall and the ex is an ex (he never knew I was going to make him a quilt). I'm still sort of interested in making them, but not really sure now. But your tutorial will be very useful if I ever do decide to make them. I didn't know about how to make sure the fabric was straight, I've really only ever sewed 18" doll dresses (though a lot of those over the years).
Thanks for posting this it was really interesting and will be helpful should I decide to try to make a quilt. And yes, I'd love to see how you'd make a quilt with the fabric you cut and the pre-cut fabric.
I think I will do a small series on quilting then. I am sure there are lots of tutorials out there on youtube too, so at least if I don't cover it right, someone else will!
Sweeeeeeet.
You've got a really good way of making it informative and interesting and not scary, so I'm looking forward to it.
Thank you so much! That is the best compliment!
thanks so much I understand now

Hi, so you line up your ruler with the fabric fold, and on (your) left, you cut to get a straight line. On that side, you use the line on the mat, correct? Now, as you cut strips, as long as you are using your straight left-hand line cut of fabric to line up the ruler, do you continue to line up the fold at the bottom with the line of the ruler? If it's already straight and lined up, and the left side is straight, so that you begin with a 90 degree angle, couldn't you just ignore the bottom fold as long as you are lining up the ruler with the left-side perfect cut? (until you have to adjust)
I don't remember this video exactly, or what I said I do, but I rarely every use the cutting mat for lining things up. Just the ruler along the bottom of the fabric to cut that first edge off (I make sure that I cut it so it evens up all of the fabric on that side). Then I do continue to use the bottom of the ruler to line up along the folded edge as I keep making the cuts. Mainly because sometimes I may make little shifts as I'm cutting and those add up over time. So if I line up the side of the ruler and my bottom line is still sitting straight, I know my cuts are all going to be straight. Sometimes I have to recut the edge when I've accidentally shifted my ruler. I don't think it's a necessary step that other people have to do, it is just something I continue to do when cutting.
Hi I’m a beginner for patch work and I’m learning from tutorials on you tube .I buy some pieces of material to try on measuring 50 by 70 cms which they have only one selvage.Do I have to make the same proceeder to cut pieces cause sometimes although I check twice that I have cut the accurate measure then when I start machining the two strips together I find that one will come a bit longer than the other .Please can you tell me what I’m doing wrong ?Thanks looking forward to hear from you
Hi, Marthese! No, you don't have to fold the fabric to cut it when it's that size. It's harder to get straight cuts when you have a fat quarter sized piece of fabric. It's already been pre-cut, so I would just cut as many squares or pieces out of it as I could. You aren't doing anything wrong at all. Cuts from these pieces of fabric will always be a little different!
thank you SO much for sharing your expertise, tips and tricks. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a tutorial on the cross stitch project bags you no longer make with the clear plastic in the front. I cant find a pattern anywhere for these.
Thank you! I'm sorry I can't do a tutorial on that bag as it is from a pattern by another designer. She gave me written permission to make a large quantity for sale. You can find the pattern here: www.byannie.com/project-bags Happy Sewing!!!
Stitch ALL The Things you star, thank you!,❤️🎉
I just rewatched this video b/c I am ready to make my cross stitch into a wall hanging for my grandson. I only need 4 strips plus the backing fabric, and this was SO helpful and my strips were cut perfectly. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for letting me know, Sheila! I am so happy this was helpful!!
You forgot happy knitting & crocheting - that's what I do when I am watching your videos.
I will definitely try and remember to wish you happy knitting and/or crocheting! 💖
I was just thinking, can't you get a table that can be raised and lowered?
There's an ikea table that I would love to get that can be raised and lowered! There's just not room for it in there. There's actually not a place for the table I use now, it's on castors so I am constantly rolling it around the (very small) room to keep it out of my way. I'm not quite ready for a room re-do yet, but when I do I am definitely getting a table that can be raised and lowered!! I think that's a genius idea!
Great job explaining this!
Thanks, my friend! I felt like I just kept repeating things, like a stuck record. Oh well!
Hi, I’m from the UK, can I ask what a jelly roll is please.
Nicky Grainger A jelly roll is 2.5" x WOF (42") strips from a collection of fabrics. Moda came up with that name and it ends up being used for all fabric manufacturers who put that size strips of fabrics together from a collection.
Hi,,,, can you make a video making a lattice baby quilt. with 5x5 squares. Thank you Belinda Boysel
