Omgosh I love the adding machine tape idea. I will used that next time I make french pleated drapes. Very useful.
Thank you ladies. Great tips.
I really like videos that feature Kelly as I learn so much from her. She is an expert quilter! I would love to see some videos where Kelly shows us how she decides what to quilt and how she combines motifs combine motifs
I push my ironing board with a "big board" on top up next to my stationary table to give me extra flat space to hold my quilt while I'm sewing.
The two of you are such a good team‼️‼️you explain things well, help each other and allow each other to have their own opinion. Thank you‼️‼️👍
That vintage quilt is just yummy. Lovely job on the finish!
Thank you! 😊
Great tips for borders. I have seen and used paper for borders but am pleased to see the elastic and board method. Not everything has to be high tech.
Good visuals for learning. Your classes must be great.
Glad it was helpful!
I think you ladies did an awesome job. Love the board idea. That just seems like it would work with the way my brain works. Thank you
Thanks so much!
Good tips.. always a challenge, the math and the area needed to come out even..Love that starting from the edge and using different design maybe an overlap!
Beautiful pink on black and turquoise good too!
I’ve used the marked elastic trick in dressmaking for spacing buttonholes and pleats, never thought to scale up the length of the elastic to fit quilt borders! What an awesome idea!
Fantastic!
Fantastic tutorial, thank you!!!
Great idea ladies. Wow. I would be afraid to do that because it may be visible.
Great video and tips. Thanks for stitching on a stationary machine. I quilt on a Sweet Sixteen and have found that when using rulers they will often rock. The throat plate of machine and the table mat are not the same height. Is there a work around to remedy the problem?
There is a workaround. Give your local retailer or Handi Quilter a call and they can tell you the suggested workaround.
Great info, thanks!
Very helpful!
I tried practicing my various rulers on broadcloth sandwich squares. I found the rulers did not grip the same way as on the quilt cotton. I used the same grips under the rulers yet the rulers moved. Broadcloth is thinner than cotton. I will wash and add some light stiffener to see if that changes things.
Thanks for demonstrating on the Capri. I would have like to have seen more time spent on in it. For example were you using precision or cruise mode? Needle up or down? What stitch length did you use?
Great suggestion! We'll remember that for future videos.
How do you know how much to stretch your elastic. I like this idea a lot.
Stretch it so that it fits the length of the quilt top section you want to divide. I usually put the elastic down, pin on end and then stretch until I have a good number of repeats that I am happy with. You stretch more or less depending on how many repeats you want in that section.
Oh my! Did anyone else get nervous when she pulled out that permanent marker and started drawing on the notepad on top of that quilt top that was pieced by the other lady’s grandmother??
They were all very careful! Thanks for watching.
How do you know how far to stretch out elastic to mark your two inches on elastic?
I suggest you reshoot the video with scripted wording so it isn't so confusing.
