    This video is very helpful. I am on the hunt for the perfect charm pack. I have never done quilting before. My goal this year is to learn to quilt and I think the charm packs will be perfect! Thank you for showing such detail and explaining the seam allowance! :-)

    Hi Karol! If you are a beginner and still deciding how much sewing you will be doing I suggest a very basic machine from a sewing and vac store or target/walmart type department stores have basic Singer and Brother machines that are very inexpensive to get started. Craigslist is also a great place for good deals. Make sure it comes with the manual so you can troubleshoot. Look for brands like Viking, Janome, Bernina... all great machines! I would stay away from computerized to get started.

    thanks for this video. I'm making a small patchwork to use for a reversible bag for the lining and/or outside. I needed to know how to get the corners to match up perfectly, you explained it so well, bty, I am cutting out all of my many many squares.

    Thank you! All of those blocks are from the Craftsy block of the month. It's a free class! So all the patterns are on there. As for the fabric... they are all from my stash and various collections and designers. Here are a few links with some better photos and more information. I can't add links here, so I added some under the video description where my blog is too some posts with closer pictures. Feel free to leave comments if you want to know what a specific fabric is!

  • @MelanieHam
    @MelanieHam  11 років тому +3

    The video shows the idea of chain piecing which is to sew consecutive squares without having to cut the threads in between. I showed you the first bit, but then you can continue sewing in the same manner until you have completed rows... and that is where I pick up at the ironing board. Hope that helps!

    I never pre-wash and have never had a problem, but I use only high quality quilting cottons. If you are nervous about bleeding for precuts just make sure you buy high quality ones and if you are using cheaper fabric buy yardage and pre-wash just to be safe! Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

    When you buy charmpacks or any pre cut bundles do you wash, dry and iron them first? Ive been told you always have to wash and dry any fabric before sewing but it seems such small pieces would just fall apart.

    Oh my, 3 out of 4! Ok, when you are done with the top, are you using a batting and backing and then quilting it all together? You have to make sure and quilt according to the batting instructions. And then you are binding it? Are the seams coming apart?

  • @LoveHorsesandCats54
    @LoveHorsesandCats54 11 років тому

    I also was wondering how you go from sewing one side of the column to a row. do you cut the thread and then sew along the top and bottom of each square to attach them?

  • @sylvia4425
    @sylvia4425 7 років тому

    New subbie here. I've been considering getting a mini-ironing board like the one you used in this video. Do you have a regular large one or do people not really use those huge ones anymore? lol I'm trying to simplify our lives and scale down.

  • @rosiethebear300
    @rosiethebear300 11 років тому +1

    I just use a flannel sheet for the batting and a plain sheet for the backing and a binding. I don;t quilt it. I tack it as in tying. It might be that some of the cottons I chose were a little more open weave and I sewed with 2.5 length. I know of people using home spun cottons - I don;t know if they zig zag the edges or what. Yes its at the seams that the problems occur, like the weave unravels or frays. Although if you saw it you'd think the weave wasn;t any looser than the other cottons.

  • @jaime1251
    @jaime1251 8 років тому +5

    My question,too. How do you get from the chain piece to the rows?

    • @nataliemccue4036
      @nataliemccue4036 4 роки тому

      ok, it's 3 yrs since your question and a couple of others', hope you figured it out by now, but maybe this will help somebody else understand.
      The columns are left in chains for a reason, so as to keep each column separate, in the order you want, and separated from the other columns.
      You make the top row by cutting the chain of stitches between the top pr. of squares of each column and sew them together. Do the same with the rest of the columns. You will now have rows of the squares and not columns.
      After you've completed each row, then you iron the seams the way she showed.
      Then you stitch the rows together lining up the seams as she demonstrated.

    I piece a row all the way across and then attach each row together to form the entire quilt. Does that answer your question?

    If you are making a cover that is going to be washed, pinking shears should be fine, a zig zag is probably best and you only need to do that for seams that are exposed, so if they will be affected by the washer they need to be finished. I really have no experience working with metric measurements, sorry!
