    MK - I'm brand new to quilting - I made the 4 flying geese according to your great instruction and they turned out great. I'd love to make the big block you showed at the end of the video. I know it's been a few years since you posted the video. But you would have an audience for a tutorial on the full block.Thank you for sharing your talent with us, your videos are very motivating for me :_)

      I don't really have a preference on cutting mats, they both function the same to me. I do like the Olfa rotating one, but fiskars has one too I believe.

  • @charlottetisdale
    @charlottetisdale 3 роки тому +1

    Hi, when you draw the line with the "quarter inch ruler" is it the RULER that is 1/4" wide? And therefore giving you 1/8" either side of the centre cutting line? Or is it a half inch wide, giving you a 1/4" seam allowance either side of the slice?? Sorry I'm new to this & a bit confused! I didn't hear you mentioning the distance between the two stitch lines again? Don't have one of those rulers so just trying to work out the measurements with my normal ruler and 1/8" seems too small of a seam allowance?

    • @em_ily_grace_
      @em_ily_grace_ 3 роки тому

      The distance between the two lines would be 1/2 an inch. The middle is the cutting line and 1/4 an inch on either side of the line

    • @charlottetisdale
      @charlottetisdale 3 роки тому +1

      @@em_ily_grace_ thank you!!! Managed to work it out in the end by using her hand as a scale and being like ‘that ruler can’t be only 1/4” wide because it looks about as wide as a finger and 1/4” would be a very thin finger!!’ hehe!! - but good to have the reassurance!! Thanks so much for replying 💕

    Struggled a bit. the larger size meant that the smaller squares didn't meet in the middle which I think is crucial. 6" didn't meet in the 11 /2 square. I'll have a rethink.

      she didn't use any "specialty ruler" just an ordinary ruler that we would all have as quilters. Any ruler as long as it has a diagonal line from corner to corner will work

    • @SuzetteG316
      @SuzetteG316 5 років тому +2

      Well, you have to use rulers when quilting. Every ruler isn't a "specialty" ruler. She used a basic square ruler. The tiny, narrow one she used for drawing the lines is also a basic in many quilters quilt rooms. But... it's just as easy to use any ruler you have in your room to draw those lines. Easy peasy and nothing to get worked up about.
