    What a blessing she certainly was. Came across her videos when I have never made a quilt. Recently lost my daughter, and Melanie is inspiring. Making a quilt for her husband from her jeans and such. It's almost ready to sew to quilt. She still helps people. Thank you for keeping the videos accessible. I am grateful beyond words.

      Thank you for replying to my question. I went back in time thru her YT Playlist and saw her talk about her diagnosis and treatment. Shortly after that I found a video of her memorial services. I just sobbed.
      I may not have had the chance to interact with Mel on the Earthly plane, in this life, but perhaps I'll get lucky to do so in the next. All my ❤ to her family, especially her two babies. No matter how old they get, they will always be ur babies.

      @@deliaaguilar6981 Hi Delia.
      Yes, Melanie was an incredible teacher. She brought SO much pure goodness to this World 🌎 Everytime I re-watch her videos, I'm reminded that there are still "good" people out there. Even though we're subjected to all of the yucky things on the news and everywhere ya turn really.
      So, I try to adopt Mel's loving outlook on life.🥰 Especially now that I've been diagnosed with an incurable autoimmune disorder that could potentially have a much greater consequence if it's underlying something much more serious. So, here I go again with more appointments with more specialists for more testing. But not matter what, I still wake every GIVEN morning and walk with tremendous grace and gratitude. 🙏

    My husband and I were both really sad when we heard of your death. It was like losing a friend. A few years ago my husband helped me make my first quilt for our first grandchild. We now have six grandchildren and have made a quilt for each. Every time we got stuck we would say ‘ what does Melanie say?’ And every single time you had the answer, offered in your own gentle , helpful manner. Thank you so much for all your kindly guidance over the years. Our warmest condolences to your nearest and dearest. You are missed . Your inspirational legacy lives on. Heartfelt thanks. Charlotte and Steve.

    Thanks Melanie! That was so helpful for me. I'm inspired now to make a quilt for my great-grandson. I'm so used to seeing your crochet videos that this caught me off guard. 😉 I love the simplicity of a basic patchwork quilt. I think the pioneer ladies made a lot of these, painstakingly by hand, just for the practicality of needing a warm cover. This is nothing against all the beautiful quilted patterns that people use and make into masterful works of art, but I'm a simple kind of gal and need something I can make while my g-g-son is still in the crib! Lol Anyway, thanks again for your always cheerful and easy to follow instruction for yet another beautiful, easy piece that even I can make! 😉

    I just read that Melanie has passed and I am so sorry to hear that. She is a great teacher.
    I'm wondering if someone may be able to answer this quick question... When quilting, do you not sew the outside edges in full? I see that she went from top to bottom, left to right, but didn't complete the edging in full... I hope my question makes some bit of sense.

    Hi Melanie!
    I am interested in learning how to quilt and I am so thankful I ran across your channel! Your instructions are concise and super easy to follow.
    Before I begin I need to purchase a another machine. I am looking at the Bernina 807 or 830 model from the late 70's. I don't want to spend a ton of money but I want a quality machine.
    Any thoughts?
    My second question is regarding the bobbin. While quilting do you ever run out of bobbin thread? If you do, how does this affect the quality of the quilt? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you and keep up the great instructional videos!

    Thanks Melanie. You are getting my confidence up for beginning my first quilt. I have an older Pfaff 6122 tiptronic from the late 1990's. . I don't see a walking foot for this model, but my regular sewing foot has the 1/4 " marking. Will this work ok? I am ready to start my first quilt.

    So, if you want to use your backing as the "edge" for your quilt, you will want to cut the top and middle layers before you sew them to the backing (and keep the backing folded away after you've needled them together so you don't accidentally cut into it. Just a heads up from another newbie quilter.

    Question on this step... my corners don’t all line up, and I think it’s because some of my squares were a tiny bit bigger than others, or my seam allowances were not consistent. So as I was adding all of the rows together, some corners line perfectly, but others are up to maybe 1/4 off. How would I do these basting rows, since at some point, I’ll be either on top of my original seam, or way off to the side. I hope that makes sense.

    Great videos...the walking foot totally confused me when I first heard of it. I inherited my moms Pfaff and found out you don’t use a walking foot for this machine with the IDT system because of the dual feed system. Not that you probably needed to know that but a beginner using a pfaff might..

    LOVE your videos. Good instructions. But I don't have that special foot for my sewing machine. Will that create a problem?

    So hard! May be simple to some but, so hard for me. 🥺 I have made 4 small quilts and putting together the backing with the quilt top was not as easy as I thought it would be. I just put the right side’s together with batting on one side and sewed the sides together, Measurements were off and it was a mess.. I guess I’ll try this next time.

    Thanks for tutorial. I had a lot of ugly waves when I went in one direction then back in the other direction. Going in the same direction worked much better for me
