this is a great video for the basics for people who are just beginning to quilt. I had to learn all of this from watching 100's of videos and just learning as I go. Should put a hashtag for beginning quilter info for those who may not find this by the title alone.
I enjoyed the videos that I watched...the instructions were easy to understand and the videos went along showing just what you were talking about. Thank you for such excellent teaching!
You have clearly articulated what you're doing better than any other video I've watched. I've been wondering what to do with salvage and you're the 1st 1 to clearly explain. Tnx
I love your videos.. you have such easy instructions that a new beginner can understand.. you make it so clear to see your work... THANK YOU FOR ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND WAY OF TEACHING US. knowing the kind of pressure foot and needles for us beginners is very important and what a great help to know what to use and how to use them... It makes me want to start right away but with you giving instructions is such a huge blessing..
Thanks, isn't it pretty! :) I know it's an older line, but definitely check Etsy for newer Basic Grey fabric lines, they tend to have the same style in each line!
What an excellent job you do explaining this so someone who is not familiar with the terms can understand. I just love all of your instructional videos on quilting, knitting and crocheting! 😊💞 You taught this old lady how to better use the lines on her sewing foot and her ruler! Great tips, Erica. 👍
Oh boy! I’m going to have to look at all your videos regarding quilting. Never made one, but recently bought a wall pattern (44” x 44”) with Birds of Canada in it. This might take me a while ‘cause I’m just getting used to the acronyms, materials, needles , etc. Yep, newbie here. I like your videos. Camera is very good at showing us the smallest detail, your tips and tricks are great; and your teaching style is relaxing. Thanks for being here for us and looking forward to learning along with you.
Thanks for this great video! I originally subscribed to your channel for your homeschooling content but have recently decided to try quilting and am so happy you have videos on that as well!
Hi Erica - FANTASTIC VIDEO. I have been quilting and sewing now for 3 years, up to then I could not sew a thing. I wish I had seen this video then REALLY WONDERFUL, instructive video and your style of teaching is the same as mine when I deliver IT Training, precise, no jargon, great explanations and demonstrations and I teach how I know I would like to be taught and I think you do the same. I just love your videos and I watch some of them over and over and I hope you continue with the great quilting and sewing tutorials. Thank you, Linda from England x
Really enjoy your videos, I am just getting started in quilting. Question, I was reading an old book on needlework, and they specifically called out not back-stitching when piecing, but hand tying every knot! I don't see you doing that, but not sure if your machine does it for you! Is there a reason to not backstitch?
I don't back-stitch when I'm piecing because those stitches get locked in when you sew the blocks together, quilt and add binding. I've never had one come apart doing it this way. Plus hand tying knots at the end of each time you stitch would literally take forever!
I just recently started watching your videos and love you tips. Only wish you wouldn't talk so fast when giving information at end of video for where to go for free giveaways!
Just an FYI, take a breather! You are talking in run-on sentences, quite fast, and are close to monotone as well. Can get annoying, although your videos are helpful, just keep in mind that can keep someone from watching it to the very end. Thanks.

Hi from the uk just subscribed love your videos
Hello .... I know I’m a late to the game, but really enjoy your vids. What is the pattern for the quilt behind you?
Hi, it's a free tutorial, you can see it here: www.confessionsofahomeschooler.com/blog/2016/07/sherbet-stars-quilt-tutorial.html
Great videos!
Hi, Do you sell the starquilt pattern in this video?
If you look up what the red ball is for, you can put it under the seam and rip the whole seam in one swipe
Great Vid!
I just recently started watching your videos and love you tips. Only wish you wouldn't talk so fast when giving information at end of video for where to go for free giveaways!
And what your stitch length is, and tension that whole thing, lol. Thanks
I sew with the setting on my machine, which is 2.4 stitch length, tension at 4.
Hi, did you take classes to learn how to quilt?
No, just watched UA-cam videos :)
