You are without a doubt one of the best teachers I have learned from and that is saying a lot as I am 61 and have been seeing since I was 6 when I made Barbie doll clothes in an old fashioned treadle machine! Thank you!😀
Wish I had found this video sooner as I was building the same border with square squared units joined together which, of course, adds an additional seem between each unit. Still, I will try your method. Thanx so much for these instructive videos.
I feel like I'm a sponge soaking up all your tips, tricks, and quilting knowledge! These tips today following meeting the closest certified instructor to me yesterday (she's fabulous)! You go overboard on "helping" wannabe quilters like myself, Deb. Having been learning more than ever since I retired in 2008. Have loved quilts since I was 5; started quilting in 1983. You'd think I would be much more experienced, but I am not. It's a constant learning curve with some teachers/quilters sharing/teaching more than others. THANK YOU, DEB, for being so GENEROUS!!!!!!!~
These videos are so awesome for my confidence. I just remembered making a seminole border with my mom 30 years ago. This is essentially the same thing. We used to make up quilts. These days I follow patterns but you're right, should be able to learn enough to do one on my own without my mom's help.
Deb, it is so nice to see the math and hear the thought process you are using while developing your "shoot from the hip" quilt designs. I like to do the same but sometimes run into issues with math, hence I am forced to come up with alternative solutions. I prefer the challenge of "free form quilting" than just following a pattern by rote. Thank you for the inspiration.
I found your channel and your instructions on piecing renewed my sewing skills. I got my sewing area cleared and I'm working on more quilts and sewing projects again. I've watched all of your videos and even have your website booked marked in my favorites. Thank you so very much Deb for the spark to create!
Absolutely awesome‼️. That’s exactly the knowledge to release creativity. Thank you for the excellent visuals with the fabric, the math and the walk through of how/why the thought process. I’m looking forward to seeing your finished quilt top! 🧵👍❣️
Once again, another fabulous video. I've never done a pieced border before but I definately will attempt one now. Thank you so much for another great tutorial.
Great information! I have always wondered how that is done. I understand the "floater" border concept to make a pieced border fit, but this makes so much sense for a quilt where you don't want that border floating. Thank you so much. Your explanation was so clear, I appreciate it. I HATE math :)
Can I move in with you??? LOL. Love your videos. They are so helpful and explained well. Math looks easy. Took some notes and am going to give it a try.
Hmm, I think my husband (and cats) might object to a new roommate! Guess you'll just have to keep enjoying me and the videos from afar 😅But seriously, I'm glad you're enjoying the videos!
I am really enjoying this series of videos, thank you! I just finished making your Snowdrops quilt and am deciding how I want to longarm it. Your patterns make beautiful quilts!
Thank You Deb for all your great instructional tutoring. I just wrote a story to rely to Play Me (below 2 days ago) I Hope you don't mind. I sew enjoy all you do for your followers.
Deb,I know that you love a good challenge so I 've got a perplexing question that I think you could answer for me. Your finished border ended up being the width of the diagonal of those purple center on-point squares. Right? And your border strips ended up having the straight of grain along the outer edges. If i wanted those squares to "float" inside of say a 4" wide border, would I just cut much bigger squares to subcut those quarter square triangles? I have a pattern with a similar border but instead of adding quarter square triangles they added rectangles to both sides of the center squares. Those rectangles were cut with the grainline of the fabric and I am pretty sure that the edges of those borders ended up with bias grainlines on the outside edges which I don't want. To get the 4" width, after those segments were sewn together into border strips, they just measured 2" to either side of the vertical center line of those center squares and trimmed the edges straight. If I used their method, could I just cut those rectangles on the bias grainline and end up with the straight grainline on the edges of the border? See that border construction here: ua-cam.com/video/U8XH8OsylMY/v-deo.html
Yes you will want to cut your squares for your Quarter Squares Triangle larger. By cutting them larger you will have the float that is shown here but you will have straight of grain along the edges. The method in the video does have bias edges. So by using the method i showed with the quarter square triangles you can straight of grain along the edges of the border strips. I would test this with some scraps first to find the ideal size needed for your quarter square triangles.
Thanks so much Deb for your reply. The grainlines were all a bit confusing to me. I will do some tests as you suggested to figure out the correct size for those background squares. I knew you would know the answer. Your the best! @@DebTuckersStudio180Design
You are like me, I need it written to follow along, so I just watched it several times and stop the play and write it in my words to understand. Then after the video again, I watched it one more time to see if I made the same points of notice. I also rewrite it in my own unhurried hand to clear up the inset notes. Always title my work with the original designer as well as when and where i found the info. If I don't do the proper title, I'd be wasting a lot of time looking to find that video or blog next time I want to do the technique. I also refer to the original post if I am sharing or teaching the same or similar technique to others in my quilt guild.

That is amazing! I am glad that these videos are helping you feel like you can create a quilt on your own. It is always fun.
You are a very good teacher. So glad you have started recording again.
Yes, this info is definitely helpful!! Great episode!

I really appreciate and enjoy learning from your videos. I can watch them over and over again! Looking forward to the next one.

Has anyone ever told you that you look like, Lidia on Lidia’s Italian Cooking???? You could be her sister!!! ♥️♥️♥️
I don't see it. Stay safe. Virginia in Ohio
Miss Tucker, do you have a technique sheet for this? I really need something written in front of me. Virginia in Ohio
