I watched this a few months ago. Well, gee whiz I watched again and this time-- I PAID ATTENTION!
LOL...it makes a difference. Glad you watched twice
I hate these giveaways, I’m always a year too late 😂 just getting into sewing, your videos have been a great help. Thanks for sharing 🥰
I’m right there with you!
Same 😂
Ha ha ha! Me too! 😄
Yep, I am also
Ditto
This channel is a blessing.
Perfect instruction. Combines methods I've seen that work, NO ironing police!
Your videos never get old. I refer back to them periodically just as a reminder on proper technique. Thanks!
It's good to return to the foundations as your skills grow. You can apply what your have learned and see the nuances that you miss as a beginner
Love how you tutor in a pleasant & helpful way without judging. Instead, you speak from experience and share how our quilting lives can be easier, faster, better. Also, love having Holly appear in your vids. Good stuff all around!
Thank you. I am just finding you. I too miss your giveaway but what matters most is after three years I can still find this. I am so thankful 🙏 💛
I agree with Previous comments - she always catches you a year too late. Well, I love ❤️ you anyway. Thank 🙇. You - Love your dog too.
We had a family friend that sewed all the clothing for her 4 girls, even all of their underwear! When asked how she did it, she replied, " I sew with my iron." That has stuck with me for over 50 years! Thanks for the tips.
I am also a beginner quilter and new to your channel. I have watched dozens of quilting videos and yours is the best. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with others. You are a true joy to watch. Jean
You make me want to be a better quilter. Not that I'm actually a "Quilter" like you, but as I'm finally beginning to make the time and investment into my life long dream, I just want to be really good at it. I lost my house October 8, 2017 in the northern California fires and am still living in my RV. Not only do I have a "sewing area", I also teach private music lessons (guitar, ukulele, banjo, voice, and piano) in my RV :-) And yes, I have a piano in here too. My point is this: I am so serious about learning this beautiful craft that I have discarded other 'things' to make room for what's most important, quilting and music :-) I'm planning to do as you said in another video "Start small and simple", so I started with a table runner and placemats, and a quilt for my granddaughters 18th birthday. I want to be good at this so I can give other fire victims a beautiful quilt. Everything now is brand new and store bought as all the old stuff, including snuggly blankets, were destroyed. I've only made 2 quilts in my entire life, and that was almost 20 years ago, (I'm 61) but I'm getting started again, and I'm so excited, and hope to make LOTS of beautiful things :-)
Thank you so much for your AWESOME videos! You inspire me!
Sorry for you troubles. Glad your making lemonade.
Oh my! I see why we must not swish! When you opened that final square- the blue and red one- I instinctively felt my mind telling my hand to use the edge of the iron to push the seam open and flat! Wow. This is eye-opening for me.
I've been watching your videos since 6 a.m. today and I am so impressed. Very clear, informative and to the point without a lot of gibberish and blabble. I don't think my iron and I will ever have the same relationship--AND I'M THRILLED. THIS explains so much... I'm sitting here gobsmacked over how wrong I've been doing my ironing my entire life. The stack of linen skirts and dresses that I've been afraid to launder makes me want to cry when I look at it. This is life-changing stuff, ma'am! Thank you!
Thanks and welcome
I am a novice quilter, have been binge watching so many UA-cam videos. Yours are by far the most helpful and I love your Alton Brown ‘Good Eats’ approach in your content. Very entertaining also! Thank you for all you do!
Thankyou for reminding how important pressing is as we sew!
How to set the seam with your piano style finger movement then set your iron straight down & lift up!! Hallelujah! You will smile 😃
When you sew your blocks together!!
Thank you for teaching me the importance of pressing my seams. I am a
New quilter and your videos have been a great help to me.
I have been wondering why my work was becoming skewed when I was so carefully cutting and sewing! Very useful. Thank you
I've been quilting for 40 yrs (self taught) and learned so much from your videos!! Thank you!!
I’m just beginning doing this! I’ve sewn for years! But learning more! Thanks so much!!
I just turned 70 and want to learn to quilt and thank you so much for your wonderful tips. I am trying the ironing as you showed and my seams look so much better.
Your demonstration using the woven paper was very effective, thank you! I’ve tried to always set my seams and press with the iron (not always successful with the press) but hadn’t known about the finger press in-between. I’m encouraged this will help me reduce the possibility of ‘wonky’ blocks. 😊
I had no idea you were lost , buttt I just found you and I am hooked . I'm 64 and disabled but love to stay busy , learning new things , doing things I know how to do. I've been binge watching and just love the masking tape video , the rest is like a refresher course. Love your upbeat , can do attitude. Have a Blessed weekend.
Congratulations on having this video chosen for a Quilting Digest featured article. Great comments by the administrators.
Hi Karen, I rewatched this video this morning while drinking my coffee. It was a good reminder for me to slow down when pressing my seams and blocks. I miss your walking talks because I enjoy the scenery. I also enjoyed seeing Holly, she was patiently looking out the window while you were talking. I always enjoy your videos ❤
I've always pressed my seams every which way. This is a game changer! It's been 30+ years sewing on my own.. basic squares into quilts and holiday crafts. So grateful for your tutorial on ironing, as well as your other videos! I've learned a lot about fabrics over the years, but have been stuck in a rut by my limited understanding. I'm so excited to move forward thanks to all you've shared. Don't stop quilting!
My mother was great with an iron and I thought I was too until I started Quilting this was a great tutorial
I watched this video and did a serious head shake and are you serious.. this is what I've been doing wrong. I had all the problems she went over as a beginner and thank goodness I saw this as I am starting a quilt for my son. The 3 videos (cutting, sewing straight and ironing) are fantastic for us beginners or those who have the problems she was talking about. THANK you for posting this.
I like your presentation. You get to the instructions without wasting my time with useless info.
I am two days into quilting and I am in love with your videos, ironing,quilting hacks and beginner quilting video’s have already boosted my confidence of becoming a quilter! You are amazing, thank you for your expertise and willingness to share openly and honestly! I look forward to spending more time learning from you!
Exciting times ahead
"You're not giving a massage..." LOVE IT!!! I love your sense of humor. You explained perfectly why my squares are no longer square when I've ironed them. So glad to know!
I have sewn for years. I learned a lot, maybe my blocks will be flatter now. Great information. My daughter is just starting to quilt, I will pass this information to her. Thank you very much for so much good stuff.
Thanks for this reminder about a very simple, but completely necessary step. It's so easy to be in a hurry to give it a quick (and wiggly) press to get back to the machine.
I am working on a baby quilt and applying all your ironing techniques. It’s really working! My block sizes are exact and my seams are nesting. THANK YOU!
I was surprised, then shocked when I first started using it. It really did work.
Thank you for describing your ironing technique so clearly. Many videos assume the viewer knows, well, anything! Haha. I can’t tell you how many wonky blocks I’ve made. Not that it stops me, I plod along as fearlessly as possible. I love your videos and you are fun like a favourite aunt or sister to learn quilting from. There’s sew! much more to it than I first thought.
The finger press step - what a game-changer! I'm in the midst of a BOM quilt that has many small pieces thus many seams. I went back to this video & re-watched it. So my first blocks will probably have to be re-done - but not any of the ones I made after watching this. Thank you, Karen.
Excellent
LOVE the way you explain things about quilting. I keep wondering if you were a science teacher in a previous life. I hope so, the way you explain/ teach about quilting helps me so much.
Just watched this last night and applied this concept to the log cabin quilt I’m making. My second quilt ever. The final squares were getting smaller and not square. You are right, this ironing method has made a huge difference! They are supposed to be 18 inches finished and I’m not quite there but this technique has made a 1/4 to 1/2 inch difference!!! Thank you!!!!
I am a beginner. I love watching your tricks and tips. Thank for teaching me about fabrics and how finger pressing works. Thank you so much! Your personality and knowledge is so refreshing and you are a wonderful teacher. Thank you so much for sharing.
I have been sewing for 50 yrs my mother in law was German and Russian and I learned a lot about sewing from her and quilting and she hand pressed her seams when quilting and she also hand quilted her quilts but you have given me some really great time saving ideas while sewing thank you for sharing and I am so glad that I have found you and PS I really love the clothes line rope baskets trays and bags ....I thought of a great idea for in the trunk of cars or back of SUV’s making square rope bags for items that you would put tools in or groceries in so as they don’t roll around in back of your vehicle and could be carried in the house in theses bags and then taken back to the vehicle when groceries are put away I just love that again thank you
Your finger pressing is now MY technique!!! Thank you so much!
It's worth the extra step
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've never, ever had anyone go over the do,'s & don'ts for me before. I've even had my husband watch this too, as he sometimes gives me a hand with the iron. Thanks again Karen. Hugs from Milford CT!!
Thanks Karen what a wonderful quilting information session! I used to live in New Hampshire, learned French now in Texas Spanish would have been more useful Haha.
Must be in name.....
You must be the luckiest woman on earth!
"Press to the dark side" is my rule in life in general. "Look to the Force, Luke."
🤣🖤
Great video with super reminders that those of us whole have quilted some have forgotten. Thank you for providing these videos.
Watching you is an actual learning experience, that makes soooo much sense, colors, Ironing the puckers I feel in 2 days I am getting a different concept of sewing/ quilting is no longer scarrrry!
👍
I'm about to be a beginner, and I've been going through many quilting videos to understand what I am embarking on. I love these 'tips'! You're giving gold here. Thank you!
She is absolutely a GOLD mine of tips, tricks and strategies! I discovered her (I believe) in the middle of or towards the fall of 2020 when I was just starting out quilting and immediately subscribed! I have learned a SO MUCH from Karen! She's my number one go-to on UA-cam. She's helped me learn how to do everything from iron correctly to organize my life with a bullet journal. Karen Brown has definitely made an impact on my life🤗😁🤗😁🤗
Finally, an explanation on setting the seams. Now I know why I need to do this and I will no longer skip it. Thank you! Love your videos, you're an A+++++ teacher. Cheers! Angela
It appears just to an extra step 😎
Who knew that three easy steps could make the world of difference? I’ve always set my seams, and was instructed early on, “NO SWISHING” so that 2nd step was my missing link. Thanks so much for your easy to follow videos.
I love the explanation of why this style of pressing works. It helps me remember!
I've been meaning to watch this for a while but kept putting it off as there were more 'exciting things to watch. Now I just wish I had watched it when I first saw it. Simple tips but they've made such a difference to my ironing of my quilts. Thank you so much.
I mean...who would have thought. 😎
Finally! Something on pressing that makes sense. I have wracked my brains trying to figure out why my blocks were so off. I have obsessed over the measuring and cutting. Then I've sewn, picked, and re-sewn my blocks only to have them distorted and out of whack. I think I this is the answer to my problem. I iron like a man! A real man! That means 500° and smoking and scorching fabric. LOL! I'm excited to try this because I was getting discouraged.
So glad to have helped.
ChevyDude65 that would be me! Doing it the wrong way!
@@rebeccaadame2799 I'm back watching this again a year later. This video is the one video that was a huge turning point for me. I was ready to chip the whole enchilada. JGIDQ has the best videos I've seen for genuine education.
Oh my gosh! I'm new. Starting my first HST quilt ever to thank my mother in law for helping me learn to quilt. I'm more nervous than I was before, but armed with more helpful knowledge!! I was pretty excited that I got through cutting blocks from fabric!! Today I'm stitching. Thank you for these very clear, easy to understand examples. I will be back at intermission to revisit them I'm sure!
Excellent. Who knew they did not know how to iron??? Thanks so much!
I know 😜
About to start my first quilt I am 80 so time to try I have not sewed for 25 years...even bought a new sewing machine. I will send a picture of the result not fast just had a stroke...here I go LOVE you show been watching for last 3 months....
Love the demo with the paper strips to show the distortion
😎
What great tips! This 3-step pressing technique is most often forgotten in our rush to "get it done", resulting in less than desirable results. Such good reminders, and I particularly appreciate understanding the science behind why it works. Thanks so much!
There can't be many videos that have 16k likes, and only 103 dislikes. Excellent work!
Oh my goodness this was so helpful. No wonder my blocks were wanky. I was swishing!
Amazing the difference eh
Ughhh...I wish I had watched this video YEARS ago!!! It all makes sense now! Thank you thank you!
Me too! Oh my gosh!
UPDATE: Thank you to everyone for entering the fabric giveaway. The winner is June Dodge.
Thank you everyone for watching. I hope you try out this technique and see the changes in your quilting. Don't forget to check out the fabric GIVEAWAY. Draw is on Feb 15h 2019
So simple, yet a VERY important concept you are discerning to folks. Thank you so much for your channel; I'm a fairly new subbie here and bingeing on your vlogs.LOL.
This was a great video with explanations and examples! I learned a lot. Thank you!!!
Quilting for 1.5 years and just found you! Where have I been? Love new and useful tips!! Now to binge watch your tuts.
Good explanation of pressing dos and don't. Visual examples are spot on.
I will give this a try. Thanks for sharing. I love your video's
I have been quilting for 10 years and your ironing hacks have been a complete game changer for me! I have watched tons of videos on the 1/4" seam allowance, and cutting, but not ironing. I'm working on a difficult pattern with half rectangle triangles, where the points and angles matter a ton! If it wasn't for the ironing techniques I would be tearing my hair out. Thank you a ton!
It was a game changer for me too. Glad it works for you
Loving the videography. Cutting between the frozen north dog walker, your 'car-aoke' and your sew space. Very nice indeed.
I absolutely love your videos! I love your tips! I love that you’re always so upbeat! You make learning to quilt fun for me! Thank you so much!
Hi there - clearly I'm late to the game, but I found you this morning through your "Ugly Fabrics" video, and now I'm here, and next I'll be popping over to the diy ironing board... and productivity just came to a screeching halt!! I really enjoyed this video - so clever, the way you change locations and keep it interesting. It's during COVID-19, and I'm trying to figure out how to keep my Grade 1/2 students engaged in this remote learning thing. Not only have you inspired me to try that "ugly fabric" quilt, but I'm also going to try some of your setting change techniques with my lessons! Not that you needed to know all that, but - now you do! Thanks again - I'm so pleased I've discovered your channel!
I am in the same boat! :D
Ditto!!!!
me too....just found
I literally have the dollar tree video ready to watch next after watching the ugly quilt video. Great content!
I love pressing and so many of my fellow quilters hate it. Nice to see a short concise video on the importance of pressing!
You don't need VLOG!!!
Everything you do is great already. Adding in photos or videos of howto's is enough. Making coffee not needed.
We all appreciate you just as you are
Thank you for all of your tips! I’ve been sewing since I was a young girl but you always manage to teach me something new!
Thank you so much for these pressing tips! I have been sewing for over 50 years and you are the first person to tell me not to swish!!! No more swishing for me!,
I have to leave another comment, this video has changed my world. I have completed two quilts using these instructions and I have No stretching of fabric, perfect nesting of seams, no hidden pleats! My quilt are not far off square at the end of the process. Thank you so much! Knowledge is a powerful thing. 💖💖💖
I now know why my blocks end up wonky! I didn't know ironing made such a difference.
I just discovered your channel this morning. What fun to see you in the snow. I live in AZ so while you're in the snow I'm in a heated pool outside!😂 Thx for the great tip on ironing & that I don't have to buy a $300 iron!!!
Thanks for watching
I did not expect this video to be as much of a game changer as it was!! I’m a complete beginner and making house blocks for a quilt with family, and they went from wonky to lovely after I started following this! Thank you for the time you took to make this video, it really helped ❤️
Newbie here....learning so much because your videos are clear and make sense. Thank you SO MU H!!!
Your techniques saved me. I haven't pieced in 20 years. Last year I sewed a quilt for my 3 year old grandson. Not one point matched and the blocks were not square. After watching your video lesson, my current baby quilt (grand daughter coming in July) has all matching points and blocks are square!!!!!!! Thanks you so much for sharing your knowledge.
Oh my word "Lightbulb moment"! That is now taken in. Yaay! If you can, will you please address the use of stiffeners on the fabric and ironing. I generally like to starch but good especially if I am going to embroider. I want crisp edges and keeping the fabric's fibers motionless and in place. Oh, I hope you can speak to that for us. Thanks for enhancing my sewing life!
Faery Fox:: I just was reading your comment & wanted to share that I usually starch my fabrics after washing them, before rotary cutting. But if U do starch, do NOT use steam, steam stretches the fabric fibers, which defeats the purpose of starching, if U follow...I’m with U, love the crispness of the starched fabric & it’s much easier to cut & sew if it’s been starched & ironed properly! Also, when I iron the starched fabric before cutting, I don’t iron the fabric like it is clothing, I iron in one direction (usually from the top of the board towards me) & no ‘swishing’ the iron, keep it straight & smooth in nice long sweeps... Lastly, if U do use starch, spray on fabric & let it “settle” into the fabric a few seconds, otherwise it will get all over your iron plate & make a mess, it needs to ‘soak’ into the fabric, U will see what I mean-if U haven’t noticed previously! HTH’s 😊👍❗️❗️
Oh you’re so funny! Looking sideways at the camera with your head on the pressing surface! Seriously though, this is all great information and I did like the chemistry lesson too! Many thanks.
Filming is exhausting and occasionally I am just too tired to set up another camera angle. Thanks for watching
I have learned more watching your videos tonight than I have in 10 yrs of quilting with people. Thank you and keep them coming
Thank you
No more swishing for me! Thanks for this great video.
I just came across your instructional video & I knew INSTANTLY that I had to subscribe to your channel❣ You have a gift of teaching your techniques so that I can understand them! I tend to try to be a perfectionist when putting blocks together & this video will save me from a "do over"! I also love your bubbly personality & being a huge animal lover, I admire your dedication to endure the COLD WEATHER so that your beautiful dog can enjoy the great outdoors🤗 To say that I'm looking forward to your videos is an understatement! Have a very blessed day today❣
Thanks for watching
I actually gasp when I saw block"A". Those points are beautiful! Thanks for the tips.
Because of your videos I am going to start quilting again ,I had stopped a year ago because of people pestering me to make them a quilt.
I definitely swished and my block came out wobbly . Thank you 😊
Hi, i recently discovered your channel, i love how you combine nature with quilting instructions, you keep my attention through the whole video. Keep up the good work!👍
Thank you
Just found you and subscribed.
I love your videos so much!!! I've only watched three so far!!!! I'm gonna be busy watching your smiley sweet face!!!!!! I've never heard of wonky!?! before LOL...Great Videos!!!!!
Is steam really necessary? Can I substitute spritzing with distilled water? Love your videos - can’t imagine discussing seams outside in freezing cold, but whatever floats your boat.
Grandma who needs lots of tips and encouragement ..I've never learned proper quilting techniques.
Karen Brown, I'm enjoying rewatching all your 4 yr old videos because Wonky Blocks are NOT my favorites...😊
Man I wish I would have seen this before! I’ve been teaching myself to quilt this winter and have had all these problems. Thanks so much for your approach and information. You are easy to understand and very relatable.😀
I am so glad I found you!!! I’m going to work on unlearning a lot of bad habits and relearning. I’m hoping to fall in love with quilting again. Thank you!!!!
Thanks Karen, great reminder for those of us who have quilted awhile.
I forgot to add your woven paper visual was awesome.... I will use that in future teaching others.
Even though I’ve been sewing since 2nd grade that gives me more years of sewing than most out there, now that I’m 51, that puts me at just over 40 years of sewing. There’s always something I can learn and still need to learn, all I can do is continue to master my seems and too sewing.
I’ve mastered my small practically rilled hems and not in fear of cutting off a foot of sheer dress fabric off my daughters store bought prom dress... because clothes sewing isn’t cost effective. And it looked better that professionally altered, although I don’t want to volunteer my tailoring skills to the general public but I do volunteer sewing gemming for the high School. I did so many choir dresses that they didn’t want cut off at the bottom but many needed more than 10” taken off. I have learned to love long running stitching to ease up deep pocket hemming when on flared dresses.
Tough to video black fabric.
I also love shirt seems but I do it my way to not cut off fabric.
Keep going on sharing and teaching and making these videos.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful, concise, and thorough explanations. Loving your channel.
I shall remember this technique when pressing my blocks and I have many which I have to press which has been cut out and just boxed up by my grandmother many years ago. Since my mother was not into quilting she didn't use the fabric it was stored away and I ended up with it along with her sewing machine which I have to put back in use before I am too old to do anything with any of it. Thanks so much for the information on pressing the pattern blocks and making sure the blocks are straight like I want them to be.
Thank you for exposing the secrets and tips to good quilting.
I have just discovered you and I think you are just great! You are so real and funny and smart! I am glad I found you. I just started quilting a few years ago myself and have much to learn. I love your short and sweet videos because I have a full-time job so there is this time constraint that I have to deal with. And I also have dogs that I have to pet and food to cook and floors to clean. So thank you so much for your very informative videos. I hope you do well in the land of UA-cam! Also, stay warm!
great tips, thanks, i am guilty of sometimes setting seams and swishing. You didn’t mention about to steam or not to steam when ironing.
Thank you! I've heard the do's & don'ts before, but now that I understand the why's, I'm more likely to remember & actually do it well every time!
😎
Thanks. I’ve been quilting for years and no one ever gave me ironing instructions with visual examples. Can’t wait to try this on my next quilt.
GREAT tutorial!
I am new to all sewing, and learned a lot.
I have been an iron "swisher" my entire life; I never knew how much distortion it can cause! 😮😱
Wow!
I am reformed!
I absolutely love your videos. I have learned so much in such a short time. The simple advice like the ironing thing; I was doing EVERYTHING wrong. Thank you!
First time viewer! Thank you so much for explaining proper ironing technique. I have never had any formal quilting training--mostly from family, so this was very helpful!
Thanks Karen, I have learnt not to move my iron all around on my fabric. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊
Laugh as I’m learning! That helps too!!
