Chain piecing is actually just doing a number one after the other, then cutting them apart. This is actually called web piecing, leaving things all together, which is absolutely brilliant for keeping everything in place. You could do 6 columns at a time, or three, and put them together after, to cut down on the bulk/weight, if your space is limited. All the best.
I have been quilting for a number of years but, I learned something new. I have been chain piecing differently but, your technique makes more sense. I love your videos. TFS!
Great tutorial! Once all the colums are chained together (at the end if your video), how do you then sew up the rows please? Ive chained work before but not in quilting! Thank you so much, so glad i found you 😊
Yes, you press your seams and then you sew your rows together. I have a great video on chain piecing that explains how to get those perfect matching corners here. ua-cam.com/video/4zXUIzJVrkI/v-deo.html
This is my first video of yours to watch. Well explained! It looks very easy. After you do this, you just sew the rows together? The same way? No backstitch? I LOVE those clips! I learned about them a year ago and use them ALL THE TIME! I'm going to look for other videos of yours now. Thank you! (And I love your name - never seen it spelled that way before!)
No matter how much I try and how much I measure the pieces, I cannot get them to line up properly, they always seem to have shrunk or grown compared to the others and it makes a big mess - so I gave up quilting.
Great demo. Thank you. Once the first piece is just past the foot how do the threads not knot up in the machine when you make stitches before adding the next piece of fabric in?
My top and bottom threads do knot with each other... but they don't get stuck down in the machine. I usually only let it go for about 2-2.5 inches total without fabric and that is enough to keep the thread moving at a consistent speed and length before latching on to the next fabric pieces and sewing through it. The key is to keep the threads moving backwards. If you find that they are getting knotted easily or tangled in the machine it might be time to have your machine serviced and possibly oiled. I hope that helps!
The next step would be prepping your quilt top for quilting and getting the backing and batting all laid out. I don't have a video currently on that specific part, but I do have a quilt class that I will be opening up again in Early May that goes through and details out each step in detail. Keep an eye out if you're on my email list for those dates! Modern Quilting Made Easy is a great class to nail down your basics!
Yes! . Then it is ready to iron and proceed to sewing while nesting your seams. You can check out that video here: ua-cam.com/video/4zXUIzJVrkI/v-deo.html
That is totally normal. You can be the most precise cutter and fabric sometimes just stretches and shifts a little bit 🤷♀️ IF you're at the point where you're ready to chain piece and line them up like in the video, there is nothing wrong with going and sizing your squares again by trimming them up again so they're all the same size again. I do this often.
Hi, I am also very interested in your design board. Did you make it yourself or can one buy it??? I want to make a baby quilt with kid's patterns on it. Thank you in advance
Hi Christa! I have had so many questions about my design board lately. I actually made it - I filmed a video this week with all the details and options out there on it. It will be posting it soon! :)

Great presentation. Can't wait to try this.
Have fun!

Thank you for the tip. Quilting knowledge comes in many forms! 🥰
Thank you for your videos. You don’t rush. One of these days I really want to try a quilt. Too many to choose from. Thanks again.
You are so welcome! When you are ready and have questions, let me know!
Great info! I have yet to feel half-square triangley, but it must feel good! :)
Oh it does ;) haha
This was SO helpful...I'm brand new, brand new to sewing and quilting and learning as I go through videos.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much! I've watched a bunch of videos but you're the first that made it clear and simple
You're so welcome! I'm really glad I could help 😘
I have been quilting for a number of years but, I learned something new. I have been chain piecing differently but, your technique makes more sense. I love your videos. TFS!
Awesome! I'm so glad you learned something new. All of us quilters are a little self taught so we do it just a bit different
Thank you.
You're welcome!
This is the first video that I've watched that makes chain piecing make sense. Thank you so much! I'm off to the next video!
I'm so glad you found this helpful. It is such a needed skill for quilters!
I just learned something to make quilting less frustrating! And, also, you are a delight!
Aw! Thank you for such a sweet compliment! Glad you found it helpful!
Great tutorial! Once all the colums are chained together (at the end if your video), how do you then sew up the rows please? Ive chained work before but not in quilting!
Thank you so much, so glad i found you 😊
Oh my gosh. I never thought about continuing on past the two columns! This is such a time saver!
Girl, this method is going to rock your world 🤩😆👏
I've been using this method for years. It just makes better sense. Good tutorial.
Thanks Melissa!
I’ve been feeling a little half square triangle-y lately too 😂 Thanks for this, super helpful
Happy to help! I love hearing I am never alone in my crafting ideas. :)
Wow. I've done chain pricing before, but I've never seen it done that way before. Cool just learned something new.
Awesome! I'm glad you watched the video 🥰
I love your personality. Half square triangley 😂 and then you switch to B&W with your comment.
haha glad that you find it entertaining. I try to keep it fun! 🤩
I love that design board.

Hi can you show us how you make your board behind you and how does the fabric stick to it please
Girl, I got you 😘 Here is the tutorial for my design wall! ua-cam.com/video/dhxQqhxsYWg/v-deo.html
Thanks for the video! Love it. What do you do next? Press, or do you do the long seams and then press?
Yes, you press your seams and then you sew your rows together. I have a great video on chain piecing that explains how to get those perfect matching corners here. ua-cam.com/video/4zXUIzJVrkI/v-deo.html

@@ISeeStarsQuilting Perfect information. Thank you so very much. I am just starting out, I haven’t even threaded up my new machine. Thank you.
Is there a video that shows what to do with the quilt once it's chain pieced? Thank you!
The next step would be prepping your quilt top for quilting and getting the backing and batting all laid out. I don't have a video currently on that specific part, but I do have a quilt class that I will be opening up again in Early May that goes through and details out each step in detail.

So at this point, do you iron each row before moving onto sewing the rows together?
Yes! . Then it is ready to iron and proceed to sewing while nesting your seams. You can check out that video here: ua-cam.com/video/4zXUIzJVrkI/v-deo.html
Some of my squares are off this is my first quilt ever not sure what to do

@@ISeeStarsQuilting thank you it was just one row I realized I forgot to trim the ends before I started to chain stitch
