    Why didn’t I think of that 😆, cutting and folding in a tab ?😱 So much easier to hand close!!!!!! You are the only one I have seen stuff the corners with batting. 🥰 Love the ladder stitch. Such a great job, thank you for taking time out of your weekend.🥰

    What a great idea to leave that extra fabric at the opening. I always trim to 1/4 or 3/8th inch and then struggle to get a nice edge. Thank you for this tutorial. xx

    That is a beautiful finish. I will be trying your technique. I have several finishes to do. I like your stuffing method. I always have a problem getting my stuffing right. I love these videos. Your camera shots are excellent. You show how it is suppose to look. People that are visual learners appreciate that. Thank you

    I don't usually comment much, but I had to pop in and say I am loving these tutorials! Now that I've seen you do a pillow with the ladder stitch, I have to go back and take apart a pillow that I whip stitched and re-stitch it with the ladder stitch. It looks so much neater, and I like it much better than the method with the slit in the back. Thank you!

    @BrandiTalmadge 2 роки тому +1

    Great job! I never thought of leaving a tab of extra fabric at the closing area - I've always had to fiddle with that 1/4" fold of fabric, not anymore, thanks to you! I'll have to go back to watch your other tutorial(s) to learn more about why you stuff the corners with quilt batting. As I sit here and think about it, it would make sense to me that it would give the corners additional structure - I've had difficulty with achieving nice structure in my corners with using just fiber fill. I'll be trying that trick as well. Thank you so much - have a blessed day! ☺️

  • @2teddybearz
    @2teddybearz 2 роки тому +4

    Wonderful Tutorial Artie! What a beautiful finish! What I have started doing when I sew the back to front, at the opening, I don't backstitch and cut the thread. I pivot 90 degrees and sew off the 1/4" on both start and finish. That way I don't have the "pulling stitching" when I hand sew to close. It also helps keep the "tabs" stuck inside the project better.

    @sandykalmeyer9523 2 роки тому +1

    The tab idea is genius. I’m always fighting with my small seam allowance. And your batting squares are such a good idea. They’re pretty big. About how big were they for that finish? Are you using quilting thread for the ladder stitch? Don’t remember if you said that. Thanks!

    • @thevintagestitcher2022
      @thevintagestitcher2022  2 роки тому +1

      Just scraps of batting. Maybe 2" squares. Yes quilting thread. Something you can pull on.

      I usually have a size 14 needle in the machine. That is a pretty basic size. Stitch length 2.5. Nothing fancy. 🥰
