Good clear tutorial, may i suggest a camera at an angle which we can see your needle. Thank you for the inspiration and building our confidence....ps. I love the quilt behind you...is there a pattern?
Thanks Denise! I typically reserve the needle shot for my payed courses. The quilt behind me is Wavelength, and you can find the pattern in my book, Modern Rainbow.
Thanks so much for this tutorial! Just thinking, If you use a much smaller rotary blade (do they sell them much smaller?) you could introduce a lot more play in the lines so they won't be as smooth, if that's what you're going for.
Curious why you didn't snip the seam allowance area. In garments, this is what we do for sewing curves like shoulder seams. Also, when you have a quilt made of many curved blocks, could you topstitch with a wide meandering pattern, or do you have to topstitch with narrow spaces to keep all of the blocks flat? Not sure if you understand my question. The curvy quilts that I've seen, the maker topstitched with lines that were about 1" apart. I'm not a big fan of this since it makes the quilt stiff and it looks and feels like a mover's blanket. LOL
do you make little snips in the seam allowance when giving very curvy seams the final pressing? Thanks for the video and the blog post that goes with it, btw :) It is inspiring and activating (meaning I want to get busy quilting)
Hey there! I cannot remember exactly. I've done it in the past, I just can't remember doing it on this one. Sorry! By the way, I love that term "activating". Thanks for your comment!
Hi, how can I sew an improv curve which has a angle that slopes down almost into a 90 degree angle? I notice you have some of these in your design but your tutorial didn't address the more challenging bits.
Camera needs to be behind the sewing machine. When you say "you can see..." we can't because the area you want us to see is totally blocked by your hands. What is the difference between pucker and fold. They look the same in your hand.
I'm sorry but how can you "show' us how to sew the seam when your camera was so far away from the machine, needle and fabric. Your hand was in front of every stitch. Crazy. Your designs were interesting and I wanted to see more. all I got was your voice
Wish I could have seen when you were sewing the curves without the pins. That is the most difficult part. Placement of the camera in front of the machine exposing the needle would have made the video SUPER. Your explanations as you progressed were excellent until you reached the unpinned part. Not being able to view the process was disappointing.
One of the best tutorials on Improv Curves that I've watched! Clear and concise. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Esther!
Very cool. Thanks for the tutorial.
Thanks 4 sharaing ..amazing tutorial
Very nicely explained and demonstrated! Thank you for sharing your technique!
Thanks so much Cindy! I appreciate your comment. :)
Enjoyed your tutorial and style of teaching. Thank you.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing. 🙏🙏
That seems like so much fun I like to give that a try! Thank you!
Thanks first time I’ve heard talk of the ‘divet’ - makes sense ans helps the alignment - thanks for the tip
I love how you suggest using a porcupine quill like it's a normal household item, lol.
ha!
Thanks for a wonderful tutorial.
Thanks!
This has been super duper informative and helpful. Plus your drawing and eventual quilt is going to be gorgeous 😍
thanks!
I haven't done a quilt yet but have sewed on sleeves plenty, so I think I could do this. Gonna try. Thanks.
Thank you! A great tutorial and a beautiful quilt!
Mulher seu trabalho e show.love, love, love Brasil Rio de Janeiro ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏😍😍😍🎉🎉🎉
Thank you, love it and cannot wait to try it.
Thank you!

I agree. It was impossible to see anything when she was showing the close up - of her hand. Quite disappointing, really.

totally!
Think u could use an overhead camera to help us understand exactly what is going on as u sew. Many thanks!

Where I work, we use chopsticks the way you use a proper stiletto.

yup! this is an older video, but we've since made the change. thanks!
The camera is not in view of the machine stitching. That would have been helpful
It is hard to see how you are feeding the fabric through the machine because your hands are in the way.
right, that's been said before. :)

Good tutorial except that your left hand obscured the placement and handling of the curves while sewing...
Ok, thanks for the feedback.

Do more talk less!
Hey, are you ok? This was a very rude comment.
Great vid ruined by vocal fry.
Gien Bot really? you are hating on her voice quality? huh. new one to me
