Thx for going slow enough for my "old brain" to keep up with you. The block lock trimmers are definately worth the $$ if you are making several flying geese. Very time saving. Carolyn
I enjoyed the tutorial and the teaching and learning new ways. You are a great teacher and your explanation and examples make a difference. Thank you!😊
@@Clara-n1w Stop the video where you want the formula. On a Mac hold down the keys (control + command + shift + 4 all at once) This will change the cursor to a target sign and allow for a drawn screenshot It gives you the ability to trace the portion of a screen that you want. Once you highlight the formula and trace it, it will sound like a picture was taken. Go to a Word doc ( or other) and get a new blank doc. On a Mac, click command V ( paste ) your pic onto the doc. Save where you want. I hope this helps.
Oh I prefer your way to doing it one at a time, that’s a given, thank you. Your voice is so calming and you speak so clearly. I do mine a bit differently with the “Quilt In A Day” rulers, but there is more waste than these for sure. I’m just sewing a quilt right now with 30 stars in it, 15 large ones using 3.5 x 6.5 flying geese and the smaller one than that for the next 15 stars. I will now continue doing them like you suggest here. Thank you so much. What a great tutorial.
Wow, this is SUCH A GREAT TUTORIAL!! You have a super way of explaining and I’m so glad I found this video. Now off to go and watch some of your others as I learned something new from this one!! Thank you so much ❤
Thanks for this method and clear instructions. I have avoided making flying geese the one at a time method as I didn’t want to have to figure out what to do with the cut off triangles or what to use potential HST’s for. The only thing I do note is that using this method is you end up with 2 that overlap in one direction and 2 in the opposite direction
Thanks for showing a selection of specialty rulers especially vs regular rulers. I only wish for a little more "math" and how yougot there at the beginning.
I am excited to try your method, I have not made flying geese blocks before. I like the Bloc loc brand but the cost is not budget friendly. I will take a look at the Creative grids line.
I just tried it out, it is fantastic but one question I have: when I sew the two small squares onto the big one, the two stitching lines make the whole thing go a bit wonky and the cutting line then ist not straight anymore, so two blocks have a bigger seam allowance than the others, anyone has the same problem? what can I do about it? thanks a lot, Dona
This is the BEST tutorial I have seen on flying geese and I have watched many!! The tips at the end of the video are great as well. You have explained EVERY detail perfectly!! Thank you so much for this excellent description!! New sub!! I only have 1 question since I have never used a pattern that calls for geese until recently.. my current pattern calls for a 3 1/2 X 2 flying geese, since the block loc's don't cut to that size and I'd like to use the next size up from that which I believe is 4 X 2 could I just trim the width to 3 1/2 without concern about the sides and maybe just trim 1/4" on each side to reach the 3 1/2" width? Not sure if the bloc loc would work in that scenario..sorry for the lengthy reply... Thanks for any help !!
That’s strange bc true flying geese are usually a 2:1 ratio, like 2x4 as you mentioned. If I were you I’d trim from the sides and then on the bottom if you need for the pattern, don’t cut into your 1/4 seam on top of your point 👍 good luck!
@@sugarstitchesquiltco Thank you, yes, the pattern I'm using is not typical of normal ratio's as you mentioned, I should have went over it very closely before buying fabric, I don't typically stray from out of the norm patterns but wasn't familiar with geese so....thank you for your guidance and help!! 😬😊
After watching the entire video, I wanted to go back to where you displayed (for a microsecond) a chart. I paused the video and then searched for it. Cannot find it! Anyone know the time-stamp for the chart?

I love the way you explain things. You speak slowly enough for people to really understand and feel confident.
I love your tutorials. You speak clearly and not too fast. 😍
I enjoyed the tutorial and the teaching and learning new ways. You are a great teacher and your explanation and examples make a difference. Thank you!😊
Best video I found I only wish the frame with the formula was on a bit longer
So do I.

This will be my first time making multiple flying geese at once. Your video was so helpful. Very well done and love the tips! Thank you.
I stumbled across your video. I love that you talk slow and show exactly what your describing. I love it, Thank you. I liked and SUBSCRIBED !!
The directions are so nicely detailed with rationales included. Very professional advice given in the proper way to create precise quilt blocks.
I’m glad you found it helpful!

The best way ever. The only way I make mine.
Awesome!!!
Very nice. Thanks so much.
Thank you too!
Very thorough directions. Thank you!
❤ all of the tips!!! Aloha.
What an amazing way to save time thanks so much for sharing your video

Thank so so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it, have fun!!
Excellent tutorial, thank you.
You are welcome!
Love how you teach. Thank you
Thank you and for watching!
I don’t like making flying geese and avoid patterns with them. This looks like the answer to an easier way to make them! Thanks!
I do appreciate you using dark thread so I can see exactly where to sew.
Love this and Tula!! Thanks so much
Thank you!!! 😍😍
You make it sound very easy. Thanks!! ❤
You are so welcome!
Great tutorial. Thank you. Terrific tips.
Glad it was helpful!
Wonderful tutorial, thank you somuch , it was so helpful for me from Sri lanka 🇱🇰, God bless you .
Love this and all the information! Thanks!
So glad!
Wonderful! Thank you for the useful bonus tips!❤
Glad you liked it!!
Very nice tutorial. I was hoping you would have showed trimming with a standard ruler.
I can do a short for that!! Keep a look out on the next couple of days!
Just what I needed. Thanks so much for your clear and thorough presentation.
You're very welcome!
Very informative tutorial. Thanks for including and showing how to use different rulers for trimming.
Fabulous, thank you!
You are so welcome!
Great tips

Very well explained thks
❤. Love your video, just have to get that block lock ruler.
It’s certainly helpful!!
Thank you for the clear explaination ❤
Nice tutorial!!
Thanks!
Excellent instructions. I was hoping you would show how to trim with a regular ruler. These specialty rulers are very pricey.

Good luck! Trimming can be done with regular rulers. Just take your time and line everything up! Good luck!
Enjoy
🧵 OK, now I’m not so worried about my first Flying Geese!
You can do it!!
Do you have a pdf with your quilty math for the flying geese that we can download and print?
Not yet! It's in the works though! Stay tuned!

Where can I find the chart for size ? I live your instructions! Thank you
I like the added amount instead of the 7/8 addition. Does the extra little triangle in the seam at the tip get in your way? The extra layer bugs me.
No it’s not too much to cause a problem for me. I’d rather have the extra cushion for trimming! Thanks for watching!
❤❤❤

The only problem is with some patterns the final measurement is not listed. It done with one flying geese at a time
Why don’t you give the sizes?
