I am a long arm quilter who quilts for the public while also keeping busy with my own creative projects and sharing them with you!
My new favorite quilting tool to stabilize rulers
It is sometimes tricky to keep the ruler steady on long cuts, especially narrow strips, and bias cuts. Try one of these three common products to help keep your cuts on the straight of grain! I'll show you my favorite and explain why.

Quilt Binding with a Decorative Stitch All on the Machine
Переглядів 57 тис.3 роки тому
In this video, I will apply binding to the Raw Edge Applique quilt I stitched previously. I will cover seam allowances, attaching the binding, making the corners of the quilt binding and using a decorative stitch to wrap it up. All stitching will be done on the machine. Since several people have asked, the machine is a Bernina 1630 with the '96 update. Happy stitching! Tools I use every day (af...

Making long folded strips for mask straps

In this video, I give a deeper dive in how to make your own binding to use as strips for masks. No ironing needed. I will insert the mask directly into the strap, but you can also make these straps separately and then insert them into the mask. Note that this is directions for how to make the strips ONLY and not the masks. I am not qualified to speak to the efficacy of the cloth masks, but I wa...
WEEKEND QUILT PART 3: Laying out the blocks
Переглядів 784 роки тому
In this video I use my design wall to play around with the block layout and discuss how the blocks can be turned different directions to get different looks. Depending on which direction, some of the seams will not line up from block to block. You just need to make sure the corners of the block line up to get the effect of the light/dark contrast and the middle strip.

Faster Way to Trim Half Square Triangles
Great ideas. However, lighting made it difficult to see detail. Maybe it’s my older eyes! 😮
New to your channel and picked up quilting again…thank you, I really enjoyed everything and the reminder to use all these beautiful stitches.
fantastic info! ive been trying to conquer the mitered corner for so long now! and this was actually so so helpful. thanks for posting this
Glad it was helpful!
I'm so glad it was helpful to you!
So when you use these decorative stitches are you always stitching off the binding or does it depend on the stitch you pick?
I would say it depends on the stitch. I kind of want it to hit the middle so the most coverage from the stitch runs close to that loose edge.
@@QuiltedPigPhoebe thanks I appreciate your answer and definitely loved this technique. I learned a lot.
I love that the rubber cement worked for you too! I always think of you when I’m looking for new unconventional tools.
Do you find that one of these works better than the others for some fabrics? Are there any fabrics with which you wouldn't want one of these to come into contact?
That's a good question. I wouldn't leave the rubber cement lying around in contact with fabric, but I feel like it's pretty safe for cutting after a few hours. The Grippy specifically says it won't stain fabric. Never had a problem with the tape.
Knock-offs of this tape don’t work. Buy Nexcare! I also use it to build up a shelf on my rulers to make my own version of a Bloc Loc. (This tape leaves no residue when removed). Great video - thank you. Will definitely be trying rubber cement!!!
Good to know!
Good video
Love your business name 🐷 Your quilt is fun!
Thank you! Someday I need to do a video about the original quilted pig. Unfortunately she lost an eye to a puppy chewing about 15 years ago. 😂
Very well explained, thank you. I"ve never been game enough to machine stitch, but I am with the quilt I have ready. Great tutorial.
Thank you. I'm glad you found it helpful.😊
I have the most trouble having the back look as good as the front. Catching the binding in the back. Like your technique.
Thank you! I'm glad to help because that's always been a struggle for me too. Happy sewing to you!
I am brand new to sewing and I have to say,you are seriously one of the best teachers I have seen. And I have seen alot this month lol. Thank you so much, what a wonderful time we live in. I am 67 and I tried learning sewing years ago more than once and always gave up. With the Internet I am enjoying every moment, even all the picking❤
This is awesome I’m not kidding this is great! Your technique is how I will finish all my future quilts. Doing it the way I was sometimes I would pull the binding over too far and then I had to go back and hand stitch all those yet doing the decorative stitch like you did will catch all of that and I won’t have to go back and do any handstitching, yahoo! thank you so much for this tutorial, I really did learn a lot ❤️
What width do you cut the fabric for the binding
Hi good morning! It started as two and a half inches.
@@QuiltedPigPhoebe Thank you I have cut my binding 2.5in which has been cut for a week as I am working on a quilt for myself so lucky I cut it at that 😅
I'm glad it will work out! Two and a quarter is enough for this idea, but 2.5 gives you a little wiggle room. Have fun and keep quilting. Thanks for commenting!
@@QuiltedPigPhoebe l haven't done a quilt for a few years because of health so had forgotten the size, I have just squared up the quilt top so next is borders plus get the backing & wadding done I have a large throat Sewing machine which needs to go in for service & sort out but can put the borders on with my standard Sewing machine I still have health issues but decided not to let it stop me plus I do have to try to get it done before I go in for a hip replacement, thank you for your reply
Enjoyed your teaching but lighting needs to be better
This is great. The corner tip really helps
I just subscribed 👍🏻🤗🪡🪡
Yay! I'll be working on my first couple of pages this weekend. I look forward to hearing what you think.
THANK YOU! This is so informative!
Thank you for your sweet comment.
Beautiful.
You make it easy to follow, every one else goes to fast, thank you .🎉 I understand a lot better now.
Thank you, Linda! I appreciate your thoughtful words and am glad I could help. ❤
Great ideas on what to take with you! Thanks for sharing!
This is a great tutorial for me a new quilter! We should utilize the decorative stitches just like you did. Do you ever trim back the corners in binding them?
Absolutely. On the wrap around (last) step, if a corner looks like it will just too bulky to be covered, I'll start by trimming out a little of the batting. Usually that does it, but sometimes it helps to trim off just a little of the folded inside corner of the binding. Just be careful because you want the binding to be "full," and you don't want a hole to show up later. Good luck, and thank you for watching!
Love the binder clip tip thanks
Thank you, Miss Phoebe! I couldn’t sleep last night, so naturally, I planned future quilts! The decorative stitch on the binding seemed possible…and now I know it is!
Yay! It makes me happy to know I have helped.
Ty for an easy to understand video. New subsciber :-)).
Awesome, thank you for your kind comment! I hope to see you again soon.
Is this the French machine?
The pinwheel really makes an amazing difference! I love this little quilt ❤
The pinwheel definitely adds some dimension to this quilt. That was a great idea!
Thank you!
Can't wait to see how you change up the center of the quilt behind you! You always have great ideas and explanations.
Posted now!
Thanks for the great tips! I like the idea of keeping separate tools so I have a bag ready all the time!
Thank you for the sweet comment. It seems silly, but it helps to know you'll always have everything when you get there. I'm going to have to buy another thread stand for my go bag. 😂
Great reminders for me particularly the specialty thread stand and a small cutting mat for small pieces. I also like your suggestion of bring several shades of a color if you have them in your stash. My hands get very dry handling fabric, so a small tube of hand lotion is in my bag as well.
Lotion is a great idea. I keep a little tube in my purse for the same reason and didn't think of an extra for my workshop bag. Thank you!
Beat binding video I’ve watched! Very informative and you took time to show!
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad to be able to share this technique.
You are an excellent teacher! Thank you for this tutorial.
Love this video. Just last night I tore my border by trying to rip out unevenly sewn binding. So now I have to figure out how to fix this. Grrr! Thanks for invaluable info.
I'm glad you liked it! Maybe trim half an inch or so all around the border to get past the tear?
I found it! Gorgeous!
Yay! I'm so glad you found it. This is such a fun way to do applique and quilting all at once.
Thanks for the tutorial! I really enjoyed that. You’re quilt is beautiful. I wish you would have shown the whole thing 😁
I'm glad you liked it! This is one of my favorite easy ways to do binding.
D excellent instructions! Thank you!😊
The clamp is to aid the sewer when ripping out a seam etc. It holds the fabric ( Sometimes called "the sewing bird" )… It is a shame someone replaced the cord with that generic "Made In China" cordset. The bakelite connector is gone and the original cord was fabric covered ( this can be purchased from old radio supply companies as well as a correct plug.
Thank you for this video, you are so patient with showing this and I am impressed with your results and teaching.
Thank you for the kind words!
Thank you. Very well explained. I have a very nice one that I purchased at a gift store and was thinking of making my own. May now do it.
Awesome tutorial. Thank you very much!
So kind! Thank you!
Very good tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
LOVE this- thank you so much for these tips. You are a wonderful instructor Phoebe!
Where did you purchase this machine? Is it new or used?
I've been quilting for several years and I still learned from this tutorial. You're a great teacher.

Thanks for sharing your unwrapping with us. Ahhhh Featherweights are warm my heart. I think the case is interesting with the brass latches and green interior. I've only seen one other like it. 🦋
Thank you! I'm very pleased with the machine, and that case is definitely different than most.
Thank you!
Where did you get your box cutter?? I love it!
I don't remember for sure where I got it, but it's Fiskars brand. And definitely time to change the blade. Lol
Priscilla is beautiful, and she sounds amazing!
She does! I'm excited to sew a project with her.
