This is a great way to use up my scraps... can't wait to get started. Thank you for sharing this with us!!!
This is brilliant, thank you so much. I like that you speak calmly.
This looks terrific! Great way to use up some scraps!
Cute block. After watching the video, this looks far easier than I thought it would be.
What a darling background in your studio!
Great tutorial String Piecing on a Curve: Candy Ring Block ~ thank you for sharing!
This template was easy to draw by tracing around a dresden plate template 4 times with the edges butted up against one another. when you are happy with your pattern go over the lines with a ruler and felt pen to make a permanent pattern to photo copy as many times as you wish. my pattern turns out just like the one in the video.
Jacqueline Scurrah I'll give this a try as well. thank you for the tip.
Wonderful. Love the concept! Thank you.
This is sooo easy, thank you for the demo!
I really enjoyed your tutorial, thank you so much.😁❤
You answered my questions to the puzzle of the string quilting. It always looked to hard and now I will try it. Thank you.
Why does it take so long to show the video.the stops in between not just straight thru
Thank you so much 😊 I loved this so much
thank you so much for a fantastic solution for my mariners compass
Very beautiful!❤
Very nice! I loved!!
really nice idea to do the circle, many thanks barbUK
you can make your own template by tracing two pan lids. use a larger one for the outside arc and smaller for the inside. Then use your ruler and cutting mat to draw pencil lines that divide the two circles into four equal parts (one horizontal line and one verticle.) Remember, it's a string block so have fun with it!
+Nikki Niswonger thanks Nikki, never thought of that as I use a engineers tool pinched from my husbands desk but your method is much easier!
+Tineke Williams You're welcome! I'm glad it worked for you.
I'm going to try your idea. thank you
Formidable technique ! C'est comme ça que je conçois l'idée patch. J'en voudrais encore !
Un plus comme 💡 idées. Super !
Is there some place where we can download the template for the foundation paper?
Mi colcha....nice
Yt6 on c fa hmm
Fab idea. I'm definitely going to try this. I don't have such a posh machine as yours so I would use a zig zag stitch for now. Love the idea though. Thank you x
Very pretty
Could I just use copies of the arc of a Double Weding Ring for the paper template?
Could you use fusible web instead of paper for your foundation paper then iron it to the block, stitching after that?
+Lindie Lee yes you can, easy peasy!
Great idea, Lindie!
Super video!
I'm new to piecing and I'm wondering how the blanket stitch would hold up on clothing that is washed often. I love how easy it is but I don't want to see the edges get furry raveling, a look that is great on a quilt but not so good for clothing. What do you think? Love your videos. You have a great voice for it and an assuring demeanor for newbies.
Some raveling may occur with the blanket stitch, but it depends a bit on how tightly woven the fabric being appliqued is (for example, flannels almost always ravel a little bit). If you want to completely avoid that furry edge look, a satin stitch will hide all the raw edges and prevent raveling. You can also use Fray Check or other similar product, which will seal the edges and prevent raveling, and then you can blanket stitch or other decorative stitch on the sealed edges to make sure the applique is firmly attached to the project with no furry edges.
Hola, ya no enseñaste como se quita el papel???
I can' find the answer to the question Sylvia Carlock asked. Where do you find the template for the foundation Paper?"
Fantastic
I've made string quilts before. They're fun to make and are a great way to use up scraps. I also like the way they turn out! But this is a new one on me! I've never thought of string piecing curves like this. Now I can't wait to try it! Thanks for the great tutorial. BTW, is there a site where we can download the template?
You have to buy the magazine to get the template. There is an instant digital download on their site but it's $5.99.
There isn’t a link to get the pattern
Thank You. Would have liked to see you sew on several string pieces. The one string was not enough for me to grasp the technique easily.
Where can i fini those models in free patrons. Hello from caraïbes
Where can I get the pattern for this?
very nice...paper piecing...
Kathy why is paper needed?
To ensure your patchwork lies flat and smooth and ends up the right shape. Since your pieces are wedges, one layer of each seam is on the bias, so it may be prone to stretching or distortion if you just sew freehand . If you prefer not to have to remove the paper, use thin fabric and leave it in.
Tel me if i am oblige to use triangle tissu. Hello from Martinique french caraïbes
Good work l want aske about the fabric what is it name and when l use a circle paper l have same result to make my design block
I clicked on the site for more info but there is none. Would you say the strips are 1" - 2"?
You can make the strips any width you want to.
very nice
Can't wait to try this! Where can we find the template?
ayngemac You have to buy the magazine to get the template. There is an instant digital download on their site but it's $5.99.
Toni Renae Oh bummer. I think I can make that though....
+ayngemac It looks to me as if you could draft or trace a tissue or tracing paper circle within a circle (a donut shape?) and either fold into halves, quarters, eighths & sixteenths or use a compass to mark the segments.
+Jane Susan Tissue paper is a nightmare but newspaper fine, I use the local paper instead of recycling and works fine!
Great idea!
On pourrait ajouter un biais pour surligner chaque bloc. Original..
а обрезные края лучше бы подвернуть...
Very nice. What did you use as the foundation paper?
Ordinary printer paper.
