Hi, Melanie. Any time I need to refresh my memory, I hop on here and watch your videos - currently trying to add some borders to an old project. I miss you still!💔
Thanks again, Mel! You never fail to have what I need for my first ever attempt at quilting! Your legacy is one of positivity and I'm so glad you had time to make all of these wonderful videos so that we could enjoy your beautiful, infectious personality! ❤
I've watched a lot of videos on quilting and you are one of the best teachers I've watched...I always wanted to learn how to quilt but barely knew how to sew ..watching your videos gives me inspiration so thank you very much for all your time and effort...
The way you talk reminds me of my Mom. She talked just like you do when she explained sewing and quilting to me. I never quilted before but I just started a week ago on my first blocks. Ty for bringing back memories. I wish I could relearn from my Mom. But you're the closest I can get. ^-^"
I'm a complete beginner..... Never actually even sewed before except in Home Economic in middle school ( a while back) and somehow I'm in love with the idea of quilting... It would be great if you could do a tutorial on a baby quilt start to finish in some form of video... Thanks and loved your video s
Is there a possibility you could do a demo of how to ease the seam in as you're stitching? How do you do it without creating obvious puckers? Maybe in a fb live video? Thanks!! :)
Hi Melanie! Loving your quilting videos. I'm a complete beginner in the world of quilting so trying to absorb some information before making my first quilt and your videos are helping immensely! I've been trying to find decent videos of drunkards path squares but not having much luck. Have you done one by any chance?
When you’re going to do your top and bottom border which way do you measure, length or width? You measured length for side borders but I didn’t understand which to measure for the width, top and bottom borders. I would think you’d measure the width but I’m not sure.
What if you have 3" wider on one end than the other. Is there a way to ease/work those 3" in to the end that's short by 3?? You eased in an eighth with no problem.
How do I have to calculate my borders? Do I have to add 1/4 of an inch to EVERY side of the border (e.g. if I wanted my border to show 3“ wide and 24“ long on the left and right of my quilttop, do I have to cut the strips 3,5 x 24,5 inches) or do I simply add 1/4“ to the sides, where the border strip is joined to the blocks? The best video on this subject I could find, btw. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Just finished my first blocks, joined them together, don’t want to end up with my borders being to wide or to narrow, since the quilt has tobe customized to a special furniture.
Hello Melanie: You seem to have explained this quite well. It sounds very straight forward except for one thing. My quilt is currently a queen size. Is it actually going to be possible to do your method with such a large quilt - first time making something quite so big and I am not sure on the logistics of it all. Any advice or other comments would be appreciated. Thank you,
Melanie, thank you.... I am interested in adding a edge or wider border to a pre existing, already created quilt.. It's Queen size quilt... Its old and from my family.... I want to keep it and now use on my CA king size bed... Any suggestions?
This is the most complicated sounding explanation for this I've ever seen....maybe a video of it actually being done would be better. Because this just talked me out of even trying

I hope Melanies family know how much her videos as still watched. Even over here in the UK. She was the best teacher. Bless her heart xx
I agree! She was the best. I still go to her videos for sewing and quilting!!
Thank you Melanie's family for keeping her videos going. We beginner's are so delighted to learn n think of her. May her beautiful soul rest in peace.
Hi, Melanie. Any time I need to refresh my memory, I hop on here and watch your videos - currently trying to add some borders to an old project. I miss you still!💔
Clear and easy to understand. So very glad that all these videos are still available to help. Thanks for allowing Melanie to still teach us :)
Miss Melanie so much. Thank you for leaving her channel up…..lots of love for you family
I've never put a board on a quilt. Thank you Mr. Ham for keeping up her tutorials. I hope you and your family are doing well. Miss you pretty lady!😇

Thank you so much for keeping these videos up! They are my favorite and I use them so much! Wishing everyone that is close to Melanie all the best!
Thank you, sweet one. I always know where to look when I am ready for something new. Your memory lives on.
I've been quilting for several years and this is the first time I've seen it spelled out so carefully. Thank you

Very easy to understand. Great video! Thank you.😀

Thanks! You make it look simple. I am a beginner and your videos are very helpful.
Very helpful. Thinking of u Mel
😇
Hi Melanie, I love your videos. I am a beginner and you make this challenge much easier. Thanks

It would be great if you could do a tutorial on a baby quilt start to finish in some form of video... Thanks and loved your video s
Thanks, this was exactly what I needed to know.
I am putting my first bordesr on my quilt today, thanks sooooooo much for this tip
Is there a possibility you could do a demo of how to ease the seam in as you're stitching? How do you do it without creating obvious puckers? Maybe in a fb live video? Thanks!! :)
Louise Roetman you asked my question 😉
yes pls
Very nice and clear tutorial ..thanks!
Miss you!
I wish you had showed step by step and you actually sewing it and showing the finished product.
i would have liked to have seen the corner stitch
Really should show you completely pinning and sewing it together.
Hi Melanie! Loving your quilting videos. I'm a complete beginner in the world of quilting so trying to absorb some information before making my first quilt and your videos are helping immensely! I've been trying to find decent videos of drunkards path squares but not having much luck. Have you done one by any chance?
If you could actually do this video and include all steps, like easing in the seam, and actually sewing on all borders, it would be helpful. Thx.
When you’re going to do your top and bottom border which way do you measure, length or width? You measured length for side borders but I didn’t understand which to measure for the width, top and bottom borders. I would think you’d measure the width but I’m not sure.
Melanie... I love your videos. I have been learning so much ❤
And.. you are soooooo beautiful 😍
Thanks, Melanie!
I would also be interested in seeing a video on easing the seam as you stitch. Really enjoy your videos. :)
Awesome, well done video. Easy to follow along! Ty
Thanks for the tips! Very helpful!
I was thinking of you today. Hope you are feeling ok and resting!
What if you have 3" wider on one end than the other. Is there a way to ease/work those 3" in to the end that's short by 3?? You eased in an eighth with no problem.
Thanks for the video but what do we do if the border needs to be longer. How do you add to make the border fit your quilt top? Thanks again
Yeah great video. I loved the part where you didn’t show us how to sew it at all!
Cute blanket, Melanie.
Thank you Byron!
Melanie Ham You're welcome, Melanie. I hope you make a pink flower quilt.
How do I have to calculate my borders?

Just finished my first blocks, joined them together, don’t want to end up with my borders being to wide or to narrow, since the quilt has tobe customized to a special furniture.
Need next step - what to do w raw edge?? Fold over??
Thanks for sharing
do you have a video or tips on squaring up fabric
Very helpful.

Why would we pay when Jenny does free tutorials?
Melanie, thank you.... I am interested in adding a edge or wider border to a pre existing, already created quilt.. It's Queen size quilt... Its old and from my family.... I want to keep it and now use on my CA king size bed... Any suggestions?
How many jelly rolls do you need to make this quilt?
Im a complete beginner Ive done a couple quilts and they arent perfectly square Are they supposed to be?
Hello how did you finish the binding with the straight sides please!!
Do the basting before or after the boarder??? I am guessing after but just want to be sure.
I wish you had sewed the border on. It wasn't helpful that you didn't finish it.
This is the most complicated sounding explanation for this I've ever seen....maybe a video of it actually being done would be better. Because this just talked me out of even trying
Pity you didn't complete the whole border for us to see!!!!

Your comment is unnecessary & makes no sense
