Well done! You will really enjoy that! You’re a SuperSHEro for tackling that solo and conquering it brilliantly!
It seems to me that the most interesting videos include someone overcoming obstacles. I loved your video ❤
Rachel, you are such a trooper. I would have got in a strop in the beginning & called my husband in to help. However, it was really worth you persevering as the result is great. Good idea to put a "Stitch With Rachel" banner up like a true influencer. 😉😘
🤣 I did phone him and say "Where's the staple gun... its an emergency" 🤣🤣 he knew not to even ask what type of emergency. Thank you! 💖
Great job all by yourself 😊 it’s funny I was just talking with my husband about helping with making one for me! You were reading my mind! lol 😊
Hi Rachel. Oh my stars I think you did an amazing job on your project board. I must admit you had me chuckling!! You handled it like a trooper. The outcome was beautiful. I went years without one and now I wouldn't know how to act without one. Such a handy tool when making a large quilt.
Could you hear how out of breath I was aswell 🤣 it was a good workout for sure. Thank you for watching 💖
I so enjoyed watching you put together your design wall. Thank you for including us in the process. I have been thinking of putting a board on my wall, with hooks to hold all my cutting mats and rulers. This has given me ideas!! xx
That is the only thing I'm missing now that I've tided my area, some hooks for ruler. Thank you for watching 💖
You will find this so useful for your quilt creations. It didn’t look a favourable task, but I bet that you’re glad it’s done.
Oh absolutely!
Thanks for sharing. Hope you enjoy your wall and it works for you ❤️
Great job Rachel!❤
Great idea! Now your quilting can also double as artwork. I recently watched Di at Sister Chicks Quilts do a temporary design wall of fabric and batting (wadding) that could be folded and stored easily. Then hung on a wall with command hooks. That might be my solution until I get a permanent sewing area.
Absolutely, and a half finished project having on the wall will keep me motivated to finished rather than tucked away in a drawer
My daughter made her wall with white flannel. It works great!
Kate Jackson at the Last Homely House used fabric called “bump” (curtain lining) instead of wadding. She has used it for years and she says it works a treat
These best thing to cut the polystyrene is a bread knife or electric carving knife. It was good to see that you had issues people often edit them out. It keeps it real, not that I’m glad you had them. I think you get the polystyrene that’s covered in something (I think it’s paper) which might be easier. It turned out well despite the problems you had with it.
I love this so much! Well done on persevering, especially by yourself! I wish I had the wall space for this but I don't...maybe I need a Sheshed out back 😂
Thank you! A sheshed would be amazing!
Great job on the design board.
It looks great!
Now you have plenty of space to design your quilts.
Enjoy! 😊
Design boards are game changers! I made one using the tutorial from Sew Yeah and best tip was from a commenter on that video: use T Pins in the sides of the boards to hold the fabric in place as you wrap it around the back (don't remove them after you hang the board) -- the T Pins will stay in place on the sides vs. pins/tacks you try to use on the front to hold the wadding/fabric. Look forward to seeing what you have on the board in a future video!
I’ve never heard of a t pin before. Off to google...
Great job . Enjoy
It looks really great!
A flannel sheet is nice and grippy for the covering.
I found it difficult to find flannel in the UK, I found brushed cotton sheets but not in the colour I wanted
Excelente idea, gracias 🥰👌
Rachel, you did great. It's not an easy job for one person. Enjoy your design wall! ❤
I was sweating 🤣
i have one there are awesome
Congratulations on your new design board. It looks great! I have an empty wall that could be ideal for a design board. I need to visit my local hardware store soon! Thank you for the inspiration and motivation!
Thank you! It's a great tool to have in your sewing room
Well done you !must have been difficult on your own I just not got anywhere to put one I live in a small cottage x
Great job! Loved seeing your squares! I just got my book yesterday and it is grand! Thanks for the intro to all that is Alice!!! Jean Colorado USA
U S Army Slogan works “Improvise, Adapt and Overcome”. Great Job!!
Absolutely!
The wall looks great.
❤
Oh this looks great!
Great job!
Great job, thanks for sharing.😊
Well done. 👏👏👏👏❤️🌺
Your design board looks great! But, you are right - definitely a 2 person job!!
I got the white to make my quilt wall just need to get polystyrene board. I think Lowe’s hardware has it. I got interested in it on the last homely house, Kate has one and she has told use what we needed. I can’t wait to get mine up. It is a game changer. Thanks for sharing.
I was just wanting wadding on mine so the blocks stick to it without pins easy to move then around for designing
you often have to use pins even if you have proper fabric to stick it to
Yeah if I put blocks on there individually, they stick. But once joined together, they need pinning. Which is fine. It's just nice to have somewhere to put your quilt whilst you are designing it 💖
Rachel, you are sew inspiring! I have two design walls in my sewing space and I love them. I used insulation board as well, however I covered them with car headliner in an ecru color as suggested by kaffe Facuet. Fabric adheres beautifully and doesn't collect all the little fibers as white. Something to consider for the future.
That's such a good idea! I'll keep that in mind if I need or want to replace the fabric, and I'll definitely make sure my partner is home 🤣
Curious if theres an issue with the audio on this video in parts?
I’d have taken that wadding straight back to the shop, it’s rubbish.
I was so tempted!
