    Your teaching abilities are absolutely incredible!! You are the reason I just bought my wife the "Tula Pink Bernina 770" for our anniversary. I don't sew but after watching a lot of your videos...I think I may even give this a try. I hope you will be in South Florida some day just so I can thank you in person!
    Thank you for all you do!!

    I have a very personal comment that you have probably never heard...my 39 y.o. son Ryan took his life 04/26/2019 & after 8 mos. my dear friend got me into appliqués & quilting but my 💔 is still dragging me through life.THEN on a fabric hunting trip, I discovered TULA fabrics! I bought yards & yards without knowing what I would do! Out of that I found the PETAL pillow pattern, but THEN I hit YT to see you & your work . Just LISTENING to you made me smile & be happy...and now, I am hooked on TULA learning new hand sewing tips and oh-sew-happy ideas! YOU change how I see life now...Thank you, TULA...BTW, I am 71,a retired Sp Ed teacher and YOU are an amazing teacher. My latest endeavor is beginning: English paper piecing...Thank you from the bottom of my healing heart❤️

      💥this is a flash for me…….i have sewed backwards all my sewing life which is about from 5-76!! It annoyed my teacher dreadfully)the days when children were taught HE in school). My mum tried to get to sew right way round but I just couldn’t do it. I sewed at her knees for years and I remember coming home from nursing, pulling out the little stool, putting some logs on the fire and we wd sit and embroider or hand finish some bias binding or flat and fell seams. Dad wd be . reading, making his gorgeous big, hand cut floor rugs or drawing out something for us to embroider later…..pillowcases for eg. My parents were happy to have me at home for a few days and the three of us lived an idyllic, coastal life. He died when I was 22 and I went on to have mum live with me when my husband and I bought our first home. Mum was a rock to our growing family. So, this sewing lesson has reawakened very happy memories for me. Love, thankyou. …..I’ve recently purchased and mounted a map of USA States and im putting a little flag in each state where I subscribe to. Cd you tell me your State please?

  • @violet2048

    I have learned more about English paper piecing in your 3 tutorials than the 6 or 8 books I've purchased and 30+ quilters on you tube. You are fun, easy to understand and ooooz confidence that is catchy. I now know WHY, this or that is done and why I'm hooked on Tula. I'm sitting here with a smile on my face, that wasn't there all day. I started sewing at age 7 with both my grandmothers. They both had there own ways and no whys. I'm76 now and for the first time I know why there are 2 spool holders on my sewing machine. Thank you so very much for your 3 best tutorials I've ever watched. I subscribe and I'm going to go watch the Dodgers right now, but I'll be following you.

    Thank you Tula & The Fat Quarter shop for providing us a "Master Quilt Series" on EPP. It was informative, entertaining, & presented in such a way that you actually want to hand sew an entire quilt. 😅
    This means so much to me because for over the past 4 yrs I've been a stay at home, 24 hr a day, caregiver to my Mom. I have not been able to attend guild meetings, take classes or go to a show. And usually teachers of Tula's caliber do not give away free classes. Tula, thank you for giving me this gift. I truly appreciate your time.

    @candigordon3591 4 роки тому +6

    Tula hit it out of the ballpark again!! Tula is a true teacher because she explains the how and why by her genius reasoning and deep insight of the art. Tula also does it with a flair by inserting her sense of humor. Who couldn’t love her to pieces? I know certainly love her. I have been EEPing for about five years. I have to have a project in my hands while watching TV with the hubby or I’ll fall asleep. It is so therapeutic and relaxing. I will no longer worry about knotting my thread. Talk about shaving seconds off a project!! WOW. I learned a lot on the 3 EEP videos. I had hoped that I could see her stitching her EEP pieces and was just overwhelmed with information!! Looking forward to more of Tula!! Thank you FQS. The filming crew did an excellent job catching everything perfectly.💕💕💕

    Ok...did anyone else think there was stuff to learn about thread? Holy cow this series was so much fun. I have machine sewed my pieces 😬🤫, but I plan to hand sew them forever and ever 🤩. If Tula had a series on cleaning the house, I bet mine would become spotless! 😂

  • @violet2048
    @violet2048 12 днів тому

    Last night I tried all of your stitching, threading and knotting. it was faster and less stressful on my hands and shoulder. This was amazing and so quick. Thank you.

  • @be_you2023
    @be_you2023 4 роки тому +67

    This has been a fantastic series, full of great humour (public service announcement was priceless). The last video is my favourite because there is so much logic in the way Tula works her magic. It has really made me reconsider doing paper piecing, as it was a little daunting before.

    Hands down this series has some of the most informative information ever passed along. The epp information is exceptional but there is information anyone doing any hand stitching should know and understand. Thread nap, needle threading, and ergonomic information pop to mind as examples. Very well done. Thank you! ❤️

    I’m rewatching these because I want to try EPP. Tula Pink has such a wonderful teaching style. She gives you the reasons why it should be done this way, and all with an engaging sense of humor. These videos are the only ones ( of many) that have made me excited to try this art form. Thank you FQS and Tula Pink for all that you do. 💗

    TULA and FQS thank you so much for this series on EPP. I have foundation paper pieced for years and I love it. I had never tried EPP and the suggestions for supplies have helped me so much. I did my first start and it came out ok. The next day my special needles came and oh my gracious what a difference. I also love the no knot process. Still need to order smaller Sewtites although the larger ones work for the project I started.

    11:04. I am so glad you are pointing this out!
    I have RSI from computer work and medically retired because of it. After 10 years it has barely improved. I feel that once you have RSI and stop the activity causing it, you don’t actually get better, you just stop the pain getting worse! So the trick is to not develop it in the first place.
    I have recently taken up sewing again after a 20 year break and must be disciplined and pace myself. It is amazing what a small change in how we do things does affect our bodies. Your slight change of sewing away from yourself is huge! Huge in that it might prevent someone from developing RSI pain and that is so important!
    Thank you ✅

But I love hand quilting and just finished a whole cloth hand stitched queen sized quilt, (yes, it go first place in the quilt show!), so I know how to hand stitch, but this is new to me. Your tutorial makes me confident, so off I go! Thank you again!

    Absolutely Brilliant series! Thank you so so much! Not just a great designer but a great teacher! So much information! Colour, methods, notions! And your piece on ergonomics of hand sewing is absolutely vital! I absolutely love how you go about things, a very reflective process on methodology of craft. I will re-teach myself how to sew with the minimum effort (it seems to be your philosophy here!). It had been some time that I was wanting to learn more about EPP which seems to be quite trendy now. So timely! Thank you, looking forward to seeing more tutorials.

    By far one of the best EPP series videos I have found. Tula made the videos easy to understand and took away the intimidation that comes with learning how to hand sew (EPP). She also provided good tips for needle choice, posture and ways of blending thread choice to fabric to name a few. Thank you FQ shop for making it possible!

    You've taught me a lot ... even though I'm 65 and have been sewing off and on since the 1970s. Your teaching style is very engaging and effective (I'm a retired teacher). Thanks so much for your informative and enjoyable information!

    Best quilting how to I have ever seen. First time learning about English paper piecing and so enjoyed plus the information about the thread was super interesting and very helpful. Thanks so much for these videos.

    Loved this EPP video ❤️‍🔥 I have been sewing EPP for years and I have learned from Tula the "why" I have had some challenges.
    Thank you Tula and FQS !!
