Exactly why I started making videos! There’s a lot of videos out there with just music playing, but they don’t tell you the finer points. Thank you so much for watching! Feel free to come join us on Facebook, at Quilltopia.
Thank You for all your advice. I just listened to your video on tool and glue . I am New to quilling and Love it but I have alot to learn and will be following your Instructions. Thank You Again a Happy Quiller.
Thank you for watching! It's my pleasure! I love helping people get started in this amazing art. I also have a new Facebook group, if you would like to join us, we would love to have you. :) facebook.com/groups/661662918171758
I use quilling mostly for greeting cards and found narrow strips better suited. The wider strips make my cards 3D, and that is much more expensive to mail. You need a special envelope, and the Post Office counts that as a "package" (they check thickness with a ruler), and the postage can be as much as five dollar. The width of the strip depends on the project. I would use 5 mm cardstock for something l display in a shadow box for example.
I have a book called Quilling for Christmas Gifts. One of the instructors calls for a 14x 30 cm white strips. Would 14 be the width and 30 be the length?? With having metrics as measurement, it's confusing to me.
Great help, tried 3D elephant today, with 5 mm was bit rough. Am 73 & unfortunately just started quilling, but enjoy, realise fingers are stiffer than they were. Would like information on lettering, not yet tried it.
I buy mine at littlecircles.co (no M in the address) I'm not sure if she ships to Canada though...but you can email her from her website to ask. :) her name is Erin :) Thanks for watching! Come join us on Facebook in Quilltopia! facebook.com/groups/661662918171758
What gsm do you use for your 3mm flowers? I really learned a lot from your lesson. Thank you so much! I am working on a card from a picture of my daughter in a running race and i was hoping for some advice. It has turned into a heavy duty project but i am having so much fun! So far i am using 5mm. Would it be better to use 3mm for a card? I could play around with it but i was just wondering what you would do?
Typically I prefer 60 to 90 lbs (27kg to 40kgs). Your coils will be more uniform and if you do loose coils, they will be more evenly spaced. :) I buy pre-cuts from the US and this is the rage of those that I use. I think that if you are producing cards, a more narrow strip may be a good idea, just to keep it in better shape during shipping. :) I'm really glad you are having fun!

That is a very difficult question to answer. Typically precut strips have a standard of 17" length. I'd suggest making a few of your standard shapes and measuring. It's difficult to do because each varies slightly. However, I don't make my strips ahead of time, I make them as I go. (make one, glue one, repeat) However, if you find a better way, I'd love to hear it. That's the wonderful thing about this art form, you'll always be learning, changing, and growing. Thank you for watching!
I’m new to this craft and throughly enjoying it. I embrace the slow talk through each step tutorials for now

There is something wrong with those numbers. They don’t make a proper reference between them. That measurement isn’t for quilling.

That will be my next video. Watch this space!

Awesome ty x

If you are in the states: littlecircles.co Quilling.com also has them but you have to call them to request the colors you want. :)
What gsm do you use for your flowers?
How do you judge how long a length of paper to quill to fill a shape?
