I purchased the pineapple trim tool and have been researching tips from different videos to learn the process before i start cutting and sewing.I found this video to be very helpful. Your instructions make it easy to understand the process. Great camera angles too! Thank you so much for what you do!
I am so pleased you showed me the error “I” also made and why. My pineapple squares are awesome, but once I recognized my error, I was several blocks along, so I continued to be consistently wrong. The problem arose, as you clearly point out, my setting triangles were not the same. I resolved the problem “somewhat” by trimming each side of the final round to the same width. I will definitely do another pineapple quilt, and again, thanks for the help. Kathleen in Canada
I also have purchased this trim tool. Now I need to get some organization to my fabric and scraps. Your blocks look great. Thanks for sharing this tutorial.
Hi Jeanette, I enjoy watching your tutorials. This is such a pretty design. The colours are beautiful. Can’t wait to see the finished project in the future. .
I just pulled out my pineapple trim tool last week. When you said you made a mistake, I knew just what it would be because I did the same thing! But it still worked out okay.
I love this!! I have wanted to make a pineapple quilt forever and just never had the courage to tackel the quilt. I now know how to use the trim tool, I have one, but never used it. Thank you for doing this video. Just what I needed. Thank you so very much!!
Love the colours. A bit intimidating looking but you make it look easy. I have 2 sizes of the CG Log Cabin tool. I will start with that for now. Love the effect and please take us with you as you go along.😊
great tutorial Jeanette, made a small pineapple quilt top using this ruler and yardage, thought it had way too much wastage and decided i would not use it again, But using scraps makes it an amazing thought.... scraps, then smaller scraps i really can't use, winner all the way. Will definitely try this again!
I have this trim tool and have made a small throw and enjoyed it so much. You have inspired me to just use scraps. Loved your tutorial and thank you for generously sharing.
I had nightmares last night where I couldn't sew a straight line to save my life... literally. They were going to kill me for my slight wiggles. Maybe I need a quilting vacation, ha.
I love Creative Grid’s rulers. I have been wanting to buy the 4” login cabin for a long time, but they are so expensive, and I would make use of it only occasionally … This tutorial is great, and I love your fabric selection. Thank you for sharing.
Love this! Pineapple pattern is one I've always loved, but was afraid it would be too fussy for me to do. This tool seems to make it a little less difficult. I'm going to look into buying one. Thank you. I've alway enjoyed your tutorials!
I’m terrible for reading instructions too, it was nice to see I’m not the only one who does this. I’d have made exactly the same mistakes you did. I’m glad you pointed out where and why you went wrong. Another great tutorial. Looking forward to seeing the finished result one day. I’m just wondering how many projects you have on the go at the moment? 😂
Hi Alexandra, We asked Jeanette how many projects she had on the go and she said "I dread to think, I know I had 12 large projects on my WIP (works in progress) list at the start of the year, so add to that my pineapple blocks and charity quilt, plus a scrap cushion - that’s 15. That doesn’t include small projects and cross stitch finishes… my aim this year is to get numbers down, but it doesn’t worry me. I do get things finished and in the meantime I’ve always got something I can pick up and work on."
Dear Jeanette, I think it's a great way to use up scraps. Thanks for a good tutorial, precise and clear. What do you think: would it be possible to cut along with a regular ruler? I suppose there will be more adjusting? Greetings from Andrea from Germany
You can't believe how expensive that pineapple trim tool is here in South Africa 😮🤯 because of our exchange rate. So if I wanted to I would use the paper piecing. Also do you find this a little hectic for off cuts. As you were cutting I was like 😮 too much to crumb quilt😊
If you use a jelly roll couldn’t you trim the strips as you go instead of trimming 1/2 inch off each strip? That would be hard to do. I love the scrappy idea though!
When you said, nothing goes to waste in my house, I thought of the old saying (waste not, want not). Thanks for the beautiful tutorial.

Very pretty block ! Thank you ! 😊
I love this! I love all the colors, I hope you'll show us the finished quilt someday when you get it done.
Thank you for sharing this great block. I will be interested in following your progress with the quilt. ❤❤

Thank you for a wonderful pineapple block tutorial. Yours is going to be a stunning quilt 😊
Your tute was nicely presented and I might add that you have very graceful, beautiful hands that don't detract from the project.

Love your demo. I always liked the pineapple block. I think I am going to get my scraps in order and do what you are doing. Looks beautiful 🥰
That's going to be gorgeous. I had a bit of anxiety at the beginning when I saw the Pineapple tool, but I think I could do this!

And just when I thought you could use a seam roller, you came up with it. I actually made a quilt with this tool and it worked perfectly.

That is coming along beautifully! I love the scrappy look!

Yikes!
A Quilt Cruise to learn to sew a straight line. Lol.
A cruise? Great. Straight line from one bar to the next!

I love them too but the prices are insane.

Love watching your videos!
I made a full size quilt with the ruler. I also have the small ruler and made a wall hanging. Each block has 42 seams in the six inch.
Brilliant tutorial Jeanette.keep them coming.
Thank you for a great tutorial! I made a pink and white pineapple quilt. Now I will definitely make one with scraps ❤❤❤
I have this template/ruler but haven’t used it yet. Thank yiu for this really nice video show in how to use it and what to look out for😄
Beautiful blocks. Guessing it's more difficult without the cutting template. Maybe I should treat myself, too. 😊
Inspired to give this a try, thank you
Thank you Jeanette! I love the method and layout!❣️
I skipped the same step! Thank you for this excellent tutorial!
I love this ruler and have made a block with it and it’s so easy and accurate!
❤ this oh Lordy I definitely will get out my ruler and use it now .Thankyou for the wonderful video
Thank you for sharing this tutorial.
I have this trim tool, but haven't yet tried making this block . It is on my list. Thanks for sharing.
Just bought this ruler today so I could make this block/quilt. May make a table runner or placemat
Very nice with scraps.
Great video! ❤
Great demo. Have had the ruler for awhile, but haven’t used it yet. Need to get going using all my 2” strips11
Thanks for another great tutorial!
love it - thank you!
I have the ruler but have never tried it. Thanks for demonstrating how to use it.
Cool!!! From Brasil. Rio de Janeiro!!
Very helpful video.
Beautiful I really like scrappy and all the colors

Hi Andrea, Jeanette said yes you can cut with a normal ruler!
Thanks.

When sewing what do you use for measurement the outside points or the inside points of the pre cuts
Hello, what is the make and model of the sewing machine you are using? I really enjoy the show, and find it very helpful.
Hi Kate, Jeanette uses the Bernina 570 Sewing Machine. Find out more about it here: www.thesewingstudio.co.uk/products/bernina-570-qe-sewing-machine
Can you do this with a regular guide thing, not one that's for pineapple.
