You are an awesome instructor. I am going to use this pattern for a baby quilt, so I hope I can figure out how to do it using 1 1/2 “ strips. Hope to see more of your videos. I have everyone I have seen so far saved. Thank you very much. I love your voice and how detailed but easy to follow instructions you provide.
I've never seen the chevron done before. You make it so easy and and simple. That would make a great table runner and/or place mats. Love your style of teaching straight and to the point, but done gently.
I love your videos. I have learned a lot from your teaching skills and knowledge. I find it so helpful the way you explain what your doing and how we can have options in completing a project and making it our own. Thank you for your help I am very grateful. Happy sewing!😊
Thank you so much, I have watched a heap of videos, they do it so quickly you can’t see properly or they show when they have finished and won’t say the size of the pieces because it is in someone’s pattern that you can no longer get. Common sense at last. Now I can work out how to make a tote bag for my sister. Thanks from uk.
I hope you make another video after you have completed the top but perhaps before you completely finish it? Would love to see how you wind up quilting it. I have one of these that I did years ago and I got stuck just didn't know what to do so would be much appreciated if you do show the next steps. Thank you
I love simple, truly scrappy quilts the best and find them the most satisfying to make. Thanks for this new technique. And thanks for explaining and demonstrating so clearly. I enjoy and lean from all your videos. Thank you and God bless from a new fan in Southern Indiana.
Thank you for this video. I did not think of trimming as I go. You did not caution everyone that this method results in a bias edge on the long sides and to be careful in the handling and sewing of them. Have you tried the Braid template from Pepper Cory? It does a smaller braid (width) but the long edges are on the straight grain and you only have to trim the top and bottom of the braid.
Sorry, but if you keep the strips folded, so pieces form left and right units as you cut, and cut a 45°angle for the outside, all cut to one size. Your french braid will have straight sides on the pieced units, and you won't need to cut all of those triangles off. This method you used is great for chevrons, join the pieced strips with partial seams though. Cut the tip across straight, once pieced, then put the bits cut off, on the start end with partial seams, for much less waste. All the best.
if you want to sew them onto a fabric foundation base,where do you place the square to start? I have a foundation piece of calico,around 18inces wide by around 28 inches long and I halved it to find the centre.so,do I halve the little square and place it half and half on the centre bottom?or have I got myself all bamboozled? probably the latter. I have a bunch of small pieces of what the Americans call " homespun plaid fabrics" and I want to use them in a nice little design to make the fabrics more presentable. as you guessed,I don't like that type of fabric but I know someone who does,so I want to make some large blocks and join them together for a quilt for her. I am sewing by hand. I apologise for my long windedquestions.
I am planning on making a table dinner a bit wider. If I have the following cuts will it work? 2 1/2" square. ....one side 2 1/2" X 6 1 /2 ".... other side 2 1/2" X 8 1 /2 ". Would this be as nice? I really like matching colors on each side. Thank you for a nice straightforward tutorial.😊
I noticed you're pressing on a wool mat. Which brand would you recommend as I've been thinking of getting one. What is your overall impressing of the wool mats.
Shame on the 35 who turned this down. Video is great! Full of tips and positivity. Tfs.
I love listening to you speak. My Mum was a wsrbride from Australia...and I just sewed this braid and up-to trimming the edge.
I wish you were my neighbor, such a nice lady and good teacher.

So easy to understand
Amei, amo essa técnica de patchwor , é pena que os tecidos eu não encontro aqui no Brasil.

Do you save the triangles you trim off? If so, how do you use them in a project? Love you tutorials!
А почему бы начинать и заканчивать шитье не квадратами, а треугольниками побольше? Тогда, я думаю, отходов было бы меньше

Thanks for info
never better
I am planning on making a table dinner a bit wider. If I have the following cuts will it work? 2 1/2" square. ....one side
2 1/2" X 6 1 /2 ".... other side 2 1/2" X 8 1 /2 ". Would this be as nice? I really like matching colors on each side. Thank you for a nice straightforward tutorial.😊
What size is my starting square if want a wider block than 6 inch. I would like an 8 inch finished block
I'm a bit confused - how far down do you sew each time?
why not sandwich them right sides together then sew ? cut the triangles after or make half square triangles?
Would the beginning square and strips be longer from the beginning of you wanted to make the braid wider? I hope this question makes sense.
Your tutorials are so easy to follow. Thank you so much. Are you quilting in the rain?
I noticed you're pressing on a wool mat. Which brand would you recommend as I've been thinking of getting one. What is your overall impressing of the wool mats.
Thank you! Beautiful work. What model Bernita is that?
But when u cut this off, there isnt a 1/4 inch seam allowance???? Or am i wrong? Thanks
It is just a straight edge so you can stitch a 1/4" seam along that edge. As with any cut fabric, it ends up smaller once sewn in than when cut.
Did it start raining mid video?
You switched from Phaff to Bernina.
What ruler are you using?
👍🙂🐵
Another video that starts halfway thru. No instructions for cutting sizes. I am getting aggravated wit UTube.
Hi, the video starts at the beginning and the cut sizes are given. Maybe try watching it again and see if it is all there this time.
