Corey, I sew enjoy your Q & A videos plus the ones showing pattern how-to's & what ideas you envisioned with each line of fabrics. You say it straight, no extra fluff to answer the question & you are straight forward about organizing ans stitching patterns together. Many thanks!
You're so welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful. =) Thanks so much for watching. I always think these Q&As are fun---people ask things I wouldn't have thought about!
Thank you for another informative Saturday video! All of the questions and your answers were great! Appreciate you and all you do for the quilting community.
Well, that was a unique way to tackle questions that the majority of us have: with a simple Q & A segment,I thoroughly enjoyed this video. The information you take the time to print in the drop-down section is always highly informative and appreciated. I peruse it consistently and find the information in be of great interest and value. I enjoy all of your videos and look forward to the next one. Happy Quitting!
Loved this Q & A session, especially when you broke down yardage calculations. Great questions! Thanks for showing the On A Roll Again book. As soon as I saw the cover I remembered that I have the book. I had to search but I found it. I had the book kitted up in a tub with Maureen McCormick's Flower Power fabrics. I had also bookmarked the Pretty Frames page. Woo-hoo! 😄
Love your videos! QUESTION: This was asked previously and may been lost. I rotate my quilts according to season. I’m curious how you store your quilts and how you avoid creases. Do you fold on the bias?
Hi from an Ohio-adjacent fan (Erie, PA)! Thanks for talking about the wide backing! That was interesting information! 😊 I do both WOF and LOF borders. For me it depends on the print and how noticeable seams will be. For large scale or plaid prints I prefer LOF. For example, I used one of the large scale floral prints from Starberry as a border and I didn’t like how the seams look, so I did them LOF!
I just happened across your video and wanted to let you know I thoroughly enjoyed it! I had to subscribe to keep up with your content and projects. Thanks, from the sunny South!
Thank you, Corey, for answering so many interesting questions. I always learn something valuable from you. And I am an Ohio girl. Born in Wooster, and lived in West Salem all my growing up years. "Field trips" to Berlin, New Hope, Millersburg, etc. were always great!
Happy Saturday, thanks for the fun and interesting video, always learning something new. It's nice to find a quilter who will take the time to answer questions. The orange in the Tilda fabric is not as bright and beautiful as your orange, just sayin', you know I love your fabric colors above any others.
Thank you Corey, i so enjoy your videos…as always your a delight, your patterns are fun and so pretty and i adore your fabric…. Thank you for bringing us content
Ok, you had me laughing when you said sometimes you were called with your middle name....I feel like that is a consistent thing in all our childhoods. BUT one of my aunts always called everyone but first and middle name and so did her children....it certainly made my ears perk up when spoke to at her house 😂 but it was done in such a loving manner it never felt like when mom did it
That was a great question on how do you name patterns and lines. Very interesting. I am so greatful of the lines that have 108s. Having to buy 5, 6, 7 + yards for a backing versus the average 2 1/2 yards of a 108, I prefer the 108.
I always store scraps by color because when I want to do a scrappy quilt I have a good mix of designers and great mix of prints and solids that look so delish together. I also like to scrappy collect certain designers because they have so many lines that tend to mesh together on purpose or not. I love it. I have yet to make a scrappy quilt because I am still collecting.
Roll on November... I have my eye on a layer cake of Cali & Co. And I know I am getting abloom with fqs mystery designer bom, already reserved. I know the quilt I have planned for Cali, I had pattern, just not fabric. Am so excited.. Hugs, Chel 🌸
I always round up to the full yard if pattern asks for 1/4 or 3/8, etc. If a pattern asks for 2 or 3 or 4 and so on I get 2 1/2, 3 1/2, etc. gives me starching and oopsie room. Corey I love your fabrics and patterns. I think I am going to try to use minky backing.
Can you please show your ironing board? Where did you get it? It is so hard to find an ironing board big enough for ironing yardage. Love the genuine content!! Thank you for the inspiration and willingness to teach your knowledge!!
Question: You have so many of your beautiful precuts behind you. I’ve noticed many designers have them, do they ever get used, or do you keep them as a record of your fabric lines? I’d be itching to break into them 😅
Great video! I wondered how many people use the excess fabric used when long arm quilting (I have a grace qnique 15) for binding. I find it perfect because it’s already length of fabric on all 4 sides and there is always enough. It’s my way of justifying all that extra fabric! I don’t always because sometimes you want a different binding color but I was curious.
Question & comment, I trim scraps (I buy & make scraps too.) to 2.5 square and sort them light, dark, medium. And strings for spiderwebs sorted warm, cool, neutral/other. Everything goes in those “systems.” As a fabric designer, do you segregate your prints from others. If you were not a designer, but a collector of Tilda and not Tilda, would you segregate Tilda since it is “different.” (Same thoughts go through my head with civil war, etc.)
Hi Corey! Question(s): I am thinking about publishing and selling patterns for some of my quilts online. What tips do you have for (1) making sure that the pattern instructions make sense to others; and (2) promoting my patterns. Also, do you have any words of encouragement to share for those who might feel like their patterns may not resonate with others because they might be different from what's already out there?
Do you put a sleeve on all, most or specific quilts. I have a few hanging in my home right now and am using clips but I think that is causing stress and am considering putting on sleeves.
QUESTION: How do you classify colors in terms of warm or cool? I've heard you say that you use warm colors, but then include aqua and blue. Do you mean that you use mostly warm colors, or that even your blues and aqua-s are warm? What is a warm blue?
This is a fun question! All colors can have warm shades and cool shades. So, while Red/Orange/Yellow are the warm colors on a color wheel and Green/Blue/Purple are the cool shades you can have a warm Red or a cool Red depending on it's undertones. If it's a Red with orange undertones, it's going to be a warm Red but if you have a Red with blue undertones, it's going to be a cooler Red. I don't know if you are familiar with knowing what your "season" is in regard to choosing your make-up /clothing colors. It was popular when I was growing up and it's now come back in to know if you are a Winter/Spring/Summer/Fall. The theory is that it helps you know which colors are most flattering for you based on which season you are. Two of the seasons are "warm" and two of the seasons are "cool". So, while every season looks great in a red, the exact shade of red is going vary based on it's warmness/coolness.
I know!…typically I see them priced the same and this is also they way I price them so that’s the way I answered. When my husband was editing the video he said I should have talked about how much more customer service PDFs require. I answer questions daily about how to download PDFs, how to print them, how to find them, resending them when customers don’t remember where they saved them to or how to download them again….and the list goes on. Once a paper pattern is shipped, I seldom hear from the customer with a question unless it’s help with piecing.
Anyone else drool over the stack of fabric yards in the back ground? :) Love all your work and content! Thanks.

Hi Cory and good morning!! ☀️ ☕️ Will you consider making a mini version of the Woolley sheep pattern? Thank you. 🙂
Good morning! I've been asked this before and have one drafted....but that's all the further it's gotten. =)
Cory you have such a sunny disposition, so easy to watch,listen and learn. Thanks for being a pleasure to watch. 👍❤️😊
Thanks for the interesting video. I especially liked the answer about figuring out how much yardage is needed. Love your fabrics and patterns!
You're so welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful. =) Thanks so much for watching. I always think these Q&As are fun---people ask things I wouldn't have thought about!
Hi Corey! Thanks for the math lesson on calculating background fabric requirements. Great information and very helpful.
You are so welcome! I’m glad it was helpful!
Thank you for another informative Saturday video! All of the questions and your answers were great! Appreciate you and all you do for the quilting community.
Great video. Thank you, Corey. I am from Oklahoma, but I have been to Ohio and thought it was a beautiful state.
Oh Corey, we love you and thank you so much for helping us. You are a wonderful woman and quilter and designer.

Thanks so very much❤
Actually the quilt below is what looks autumn to me and wanting to see it as well. Top one looks spring :)
Yes, if that one had been hanging up in the video when she asked about it, it would have been the best contender!
Thanks for sharing with us. ❤
Thanks so much for watching Frances!

Can you please show your ironing board? Where did you get it? It is so hard to find an ironing board big enough for ironing yardage. Love the genuine content!! Thank you for the inspiration and willingness to teach your knowledge!!
I love quilt math, but I have trouble explaining how i figure it out. Your explanation was very precise.

I don’t always because sometimes you want a different binding color but I was curious.
Love the Q & A What do you do with left over binding?
Great question!...I store it in a bin and use it for scrappy binding by sewing the left over pieces together.
Great video today!!!!❤
Glad you liked it!!
Thank you so much information
I'm so glad you found it helpful!
Finishing up my Cuddle Up Samper today! Love it so much! What Corey pattern is next?! Just received my shipping of your new pattern collection!
I wonder what you’ll decide on!
I love your quilt left top behind you. Do you have a video making that
I have a tutorial video on how to make the block: ua-cam.com/video/NP6IHN2BYHw/v-deo.html
Ohio girl here!!!
Yay!
Thanks Corey and Nicole!!! Do you ever make Fat Quarter Shops designer mystery quilt?
I’ve designed a block every year for quite a few years but I’ve not made the quilt. Next year when FQS is using Abloom, I will be sewing along.
Question & comment, I trim scraps (I buy & make scraps too.) to 2.5 square and sort them light, dark, medium. And strings for spiderwebs sorted warm, cool, neutral/other. Everything goes in those “systems.”
As a fabric designer, do you segregate your prints from others.

I live in the midwest. Karen and I use 6 ounce batting in ours. My standard batting is 4.5 ounces of Fiber per square yard.
Thanks for weighing in on batting with minky!

Do you put a sleeve on all, most or specific quilts. I have a few hanging in my home right now and am using clips but I think that is causing stress and am considering putting on sleeves.
So when you press your fabric with steam, do you cut right away or wait a bit for it to cool down get out the dampness?
Corey, do you use a tank steam iron or regular iron?
Thank you.
Where can I buy the happy day book?
Was born in Ohio. Raised in Washington State 🥶
Do you have a video on your 9 patch quilt.❤
Which one?

Question how do you become a quilt designer ?
Thanks for leaving a fun question!
??? The question was why are PDFs more expensive than paper patterns but your answer was the other way around - which is what I usually see.
I know!…typically I see them priced the same and this is also they way I price them so that’s the way I answered. When my husband was editing the video he said I should have talked about how much more customer service PDFs require.
