Good Morning everyone. I had so much fun playing with raw edge applique. My improv project is already one the wall. I hope you enjoy trying these techniques to tackle you Mt Scrapmore. Enjoy
LOVE your videos!! I subscribed more than a year ago (before the pandemic started) because I wanted to learn how to quilt to use up all of my fabric remnants from sewing projects. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your wonderful ideas and your humorous comments! I have yet to make a big quilt. So far, my projects have been small, like placemats. I guess I can start by doing a small one, like a baby quilt. Once again, thanks for your ideas and lessons. I look forward to watching your videos every time there is a new one.
Last year when I started hand sewing a quilt for my grandbaby, didn’t know about the fusible material. I made a stencil of a tree, then cut it out with a quarter inch seam, then appliquéd it on my hand pieced landscape using hundreds of pins. Took me two days and a lot of frustration. Did many many leaves as well which took me about a month. Then I went to a special quilt shop and the owner explained how fusible appliqué worked. Wish I had your video then. Having said that, the sewing saved me during our strict lockdown in Melbourne and my stress as a nurse. Thank you.
I have insomnia and spent the early morning watching your videos ... since I had seen them all several time I was wishing for a new one .... and here you are ... LOVE YOUR SCRAP VIDEOS
OMG! I’m supposed to be sleeping and now I’m compelled to get up, drag out a scrap bin and create!!! Can’t resist. Karen, you are such a wonderful enabler! Thank you ❤️
This is exactly what I was looking for! I'm not a quilter - so I didn't know what terms to search... But here you are. Background Quilting and Raw Edge Applique. VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!!!
I didn't read it as rude, but more like a friendly idea of how to work her channel name into her starting catch phrase. 😊 In any case, Karen always manages to inspire me to not just start, but go all the way 'till done!
@@lisaroper421 I got the channel name thing. But where I come from, "You should" is loaded language. It implies whatever you're doing now is WRONG and needs fixing, and only doing it the other way is right. "You COULD" is considered much more polite, as a suggestion rather than a correction.
@@Marialla. I agree, I feel the same way. Too many people have told me "You should..." too many times, about many subjects, and it really just turns me off. I'm more inclined to NOT do what they say! "Could" is a much more inviting way of framing suggestions. But frankly, I think her intro is fine, just the way it is. And maybe, Karen is realizing there is more than one way to do what she does. She shows how to Do it, but knows that it's Not the only way to "Get it Done".
I feel spoiled. Last night I had your quilt circle going while I worked with some fabric crumbs for the first time and now I new video to start the week. Brilliant as always. Thank you!
What great ideas, Karen! Did you happen to see the quilted posts cards that someone sent Pat Sloan this morning in her video. So cute! I just might have to give this a try. Thanks for sharing from your wealth of ideas! We are so fortunate to benefit from your ideas. ❤️
As ALWAYS, your creativity inspires, Quilt Momma! I'm going to try the improv piecing. I need to step away from patterns and start letting ME come out in my work more.
I LOVE your videos and I really didn't realize that you're in Toronto. I'm in Mississauga and I will be paying closer attention to suggestions. You're a great presenter and give awesome information, inspiration and I am grateful for you. Blessings for your day!
This video encouraged me to tackle projects in a book that I recently purchased, "Kansas Trouble Quilters: Cozy Quilts and Comforts" by Lynne Hagmeier. She uses raw edge applique of scraps to quickly create what appears to be intricate pieced blocks! I love this idea!
I love your videos so very much. Being a Canadian myself, and living now in Sweden. I do love the Swedish colours your new wall hanging is! I am a newbie so have watched nearly all your video's and made at least 2 scribblers full of your podcasts with a few of your guests, which factually helped me retain the extensive information on thread and needles. THAT is a must watch video if anyone hasn't seen it. I absolutely learn and retain everything you say as your style of engagement with us is truly A+ Where you a teacher? :) And thank you!
I really appreciated the tip about adding a pop of color to gain visual interest using the black-and-white feature on the phone or camera and appliqué.
Oh boy! I LOVE the collage. It is so into my alley! Can’t wait to finish this huge book bag project I have going for Operation Christmas Child and just play! Don’t get me wrong…I love making the bags for the children😊💕
Just so much fun. Love your explanations and your just get it done. Many time I over think and decide I can’t do it when in fact I can. Thank you for this one. I love scrapping.
My mother collected postcards. I wish I had known about making postcards out of scraps. I would have loved to have made and mailed her a scrap fabric postcard. I'm sure she never received or even viewed one. This is a wonderful idea. Maybe I'll trying making my own Christmas and New Year's Postcards. It would be something new and different. Thank you for this video. Please stay safe.
I love the idea of using applique to finish the quilt. I have one top that needs some pop and another that needs to calm down. Now I have a way to solve those problems.
Thanks for sharing, I just finished used a fusible for the first time. I can’t say I enjoyed the process, but now seeing and hearing about your fusible that you used brings light to another attempt. The one I used left holes, gummed up my needle and was stiff. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊
Loved this video! Raw edge postcards now rg as t is a scrap idea I could complete and know many friends that would love receiving a fancy personal card. 👍
I’ll admit that I dragged my heels on watching this one. I intensely dislike the look of raw edges of quilt fabric fraying after an item is washed so I don’t do raw edge applique. I definitely don’t care if others do like it and would never say something negative or unkind about anyone else’s work. This is very much a *me* thing! I am now curious about how well Flexi Fuse holds up with washing so I might try it. I’m still working toward consistency with piecing and enjoying the journey so even if I never love raw edges, at least I’ll know how to approach them with the highest likelihood of success. Thanks, Karen :)
good points about fraying. If doing a precision work or a formal quilt, then it wouldn't fit the style. But for less formal picnic quilt...a landscape composition quilt meant to be hung on the wall or postcards... this could give you another creative outlet! 😊
I don't know if you read comments on older videos, but I always enjoy scrap ideas! Thanks for sharing. I'm assuming the postcards need extra postage with the weight...?
When doing the post cards are you using fabric for the top and card stock on the back? Love the idea of zigzagging around the card….thanks for sharing…. Like the others as well and will try those too.
I love the elephant with Tula pink fabric. Where did you get the pattern? Would you be able to post a link to the photo? I would love to make it. Thanks for all your videos and tips!
Check w your local post office. Mine wants then in an envelope. I use a celephane envelope so they can still be seen. From my post office (I live in Idaho) they require them to be hand stamped even in the envelope. So it is a special stamp. And it costs a few cents more. I've sent about 20. 1 showed up several months after I sent it. Another still hasn't shown up over a year later. That's about the same rate I get w regular post cards.
I've been wanting to do some applique projects for some years now but always afraid of the thread issues that come with fusible products. I ordered Flexi fuse and I'll let u know how it works. I'm excited to finally get down to it. Ty
Thank you, these are great ideas! In the show we saw briefly an elephant made only of small pieces. Would you be able to tell me where the pattern is available? Thank you for your time.

Those beginner mistakes just become part of your journey's war stories. It's fun to hear them in a quilting circle.

Instead of opening with, “I’ll show you how to do it” you should say, “I’ll show you how to get it done.” I love your tutorials.
That seems rude, for you to tell her how to do her opening. She's fine, and doesn't really need this correction.

I continue to be impressed at how you keep all those scraps organized and in play!

The blue, yellow, and while quite in the background is gorgeous!!!

I really need to "Just get it done" with organizing my fabric scraps like you! lol
As ALWAYS, your creativity inspires, Quilt Momma! I'm going to try the improv piecing. I need to step away from patterns and start letting ME come out in my work more.
it really uses an different part of your brain. I found myself quite refreshed by it all
I always wondered how the fabric postcards were made. Scraps, scraps, scraps!
I LOVE your videos and I really didn't realize that you're in Toronto. I'm in Mississauga and I will be paying closer attention to suggestions. You're a great presenter and give awesome information, inspiration and I am grateful for you. Blessings for your day!
Thank you for all the ideas for using our scrap fabric. I too hate to throw away scraps🙂
I'm inspired! I enjoy applique, and you've sparked my interest to try some new things. And of course, I have more scraps than I can ever use up!
I didn't even make a dent in mine

JUST IN TIME FOR A PROJECT I WAS STUCK ON. THANKS. GREAT VIDEO AS USUAL.
Duh! Why didn't I think of this. Lol. This is why I love your videos. Thank you!!
Those letters are so cute
so much better using them up than dealing with the scraps
Just so much fun. Love your explanations and your just get it done. Many time I over think and decide I can’t do it when in fact I can. Thank you for this one. I love scrapping.

I just discovered your channel while looking for uses of fabric scraps. Thanks for all the tips.
Lots of great ideas. Really love the improv project. Mind start whirling with all the possibilities. Many thanks.
Great ideas. I especially liked the collage quilting. I now have some more useful ways to use up my scraps.
OMG Karen. My Mt Scrapmore is waist high and needed some reduction. Perfect TH-cam for me and the holidays!
Love your emojis🤗 let’s tackle MT Scrapmore
I love this Karen! Such fun ideas. Those details really give the leaves something extra.
Thank you 🤗
I'm determined to use only scraps in 2022!!! Love all your videos, thanks!
Thanks for the great and thorough tutorial Karen. You gave me some new ideas to try and the inspiration to action💕
Great ideas for those leftovers.
Thanks Karen for showing how to do raw appliqué and the products that us use. Another great video as always.
Just found you! This is incredible. I can’t wait to try doing this. Just need to get the fusible web.
You’re one of my favorites!
I love your place Matt 😊👍🏻
Karen, you have the best ideas. I love watching your easy to follow, helpful scrappy ideas. Thank you!
Love all your videos, Karen! This Holiday break I'm going through all my material and organizing it. I will be using your videos to inspire me. 🙂
Fantastic use of scraps
Great tutorial today….so much info, thank you❤️
I’m a brand new quilter so not a lot of scraps. I’ll get there for sure.
Thanks for sharing, I just finished used a fusible for the first time. I can’t say I enjoyed the process, but now seeing and hearing about your fusible that you used brings light to another attempt. The one I used left holes, gummed up my needle and was stiff. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊
Oh I’ve Been there and done that. Flexifuse was developed to prevent that
Love your scrap drawers and ideas.💛🇦🇺
I just love the postcards! I really have to try that. Thanks so much for all these great ideas!

Thank you
Very nice projects! Thank you for sharing these... your hexis’ jar is full! LOL! Christine
Thank you for the applique tutorial it was excellent! I always get confused on what side to trace on and what side to stick it on.
Glad it was helpful!
A lot of very good ideas! Thank you!

I had a similar reaction when I first started quilting. I thought raw edges were a cheat. But I now find that I like it for certain applications.

Гениальные идеи, Правильные руки!
just ordered the FlexiFuse sounds like a great product.
Thank you for today’s video! So many handy tips. 💐
Appreciate the inspiration!!! You always make work fun!!
One of your best! Thank you so much for the details about fusible!
I don't know if you read comments on older videos, but I always enjoy scrap ideas! Thanks for sharing.
I'm assuming the postcards need extra postage with the weight...?
I have never paid extra. And it seems they all get there. But I am in Canada
@@JustGetitDoneQuilts thanks for answering! I've never seen anyone do postcards like that. They were cute. 😊
Great video, Karen!
Thank you! That was fun! I’m going to try!
Love these ideas, thank you.
Beautiful !! Thank you
So many great ideas and inspiration! Thanks karen!
Loving your videos ! Soo informative and Fun ! Thank you !
Thank you so much, as always great ideas.
Great ideas!! Love your projects!!! ❤️✂️🧵
Always inspiring and encouraging...thx, again!!
I there I just ordered some of the Flexifuse , looking forward to use it I’m a little nervous as I am left handed and always screw things up.
Great ideas!
thank you
I was needing a product like this and I ordered some right away. I love your channel.
They were really fun
How well do quilts hold up with raw edge applique in the wash? Multiple washes?
Love these ideas.
Love this!! Thanks so much
Love this video! Thanks 💕
Very clever❣️
Love your scrap art
Do you have quilt as you go idea's?
Beautiful. How do you hang the wall hanging.

Like the others as well and will try those too.
Yes I am!
@@JustGetitDoneQuilts thank you for clarifying😊
I love the elephant with Tula pink fabric. Where did you get the pattern? Would you be able to post a link to the photo? I would love to make it. Thanks for all your videos and tips!
It’s a flexifuse pattern. Go to their website and use the coupon code
I love the idea of postcards. Do they go through the mail without an envelope? Do they require extra postage?
I send them through with regular postcard rate. I've never had one get lost. I'd like to think the postal worker smiles as they process them.
@@JustGetitDoneQuilts Thanks! I can’t wait to send some.

Can you share how the post cards faired in the mail. I would presume they would be bent and dirty preventing me from doing these postcards too.
I have never had a problem.
Thank you, these are great ideas! In the show we saw briefly an elephant made only of small pieces. Would you be able to tell me where the pattern is available? Thank you for your time.
Laser cut quilts…you can find them on the flexifuse page
