For those of you watching who have never made a quilt, and fancy having a go....DO IT! This was sooo satisfying and really not too hard, but....be warned! I am now onto my third (way more complex, "art" quilt) with the material and plans for a fourth....and fifth. I now seem to possess about a quarter of the world's reserves of cotton prints, and have four sewing machines in my eBay watch list.
About to be me lol, been wanting to start for so long!
😂 This made me chuckle. I'm already on my second sewing machine since starting in November last year.
@@CassandraMiles Me too! I moved from a small-yet-powerful '70s Frister Rossman to a Singer 4423 heavy duty (which absolutely flies). I have now made two birch trees "art" quilts and a printed circuit board design from Sylvia at Flying Parrot Quilts.
Lol ur funny 😅🤣
I have two quilts made by my grandmother and I've always loved the bits of fabric she used and the pattern of them as well. I want to make my own because those are too fragile to be used, but my grandmother definitely inspired me to look into quilting
This was so helpful, thank you!
HELP! I already knit, weave, sew and crochet. This video is making quilting look so tempting. I can’t believe I’m considering taking up a new craft. My husband is going to freak out.
haha we love it! This is so exciting!❤️😍
😂😂 they get over it eventually. All crafts no thoughts.
😂😂😂😂
As someone who has never made a quilt, this has been VERY informative. Thanks for the great vid!
My quilt turned out so good! These ladies are great instructors. I've already started my next quilt. I'm hooked!
I’m a self taught quilter. This is by far the best video for beginners from start to finish! Ladies, you’re fantastic ❤! I’ve saved this video and will watch it many times over! And share it! This is exactly the video I spent days looking for.
Thank you, Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️!!!!!
Your step by step is really helpful
This is amazing feedback- thank you so much!🥰
Bernadette, so glad you found the video useful - that's what we love to hear x
Thank you.for this video.
I agree completely! I have made a couple of sort-of (ahem) quilts before and am now making another for our latest grandchild, out of some squares I sewed together by hand over several years!! I was just putting the layers together and thought - "oh I don't really know exactly the right way to do this so I'll find a video...." As a result I've got to do some unpicking but never mind. You two ladies both have an amazing ability to teach clearly and I have learnt a lot. Thank you! I will have a look at your other videos.
Guys watching this in 2023 give a thumbs up! My mom, before she passed, collected quite a bit of fabric for quilting, but wore herself out caring for my dad. I'm making a quilt in her honor with the fabric she collected.
What an absolutely lovely idea! Thanks so much for sharing it with us. 🧡🥰
You mean a lady on the vid is your mom? ❤️
I'm watching this in 2024 and this was so easy to follow❤❤❤
Oh Ladies, I just found this video and I love, love, love it 😻 It is without a doubt the best one I’ve seen. I’m a complete novice and you have answered so many questions. You are clear and concise, the camera angles are perfect and more than anything, your encouragement and enthusiasm is contagious. I cannot wait to get started. Thank you ! 😊 x
This is so lovely to hear! Thank you so so much for your kind feedback and Happy making!😊🧡
I used to think that quilting was on another skill, level. Like engineering skill level!
I thought that I could never achieve the ability and knowledge to sew a quilt because quilts have always looks so complex to me.
Well this year thanks to this single video, I have embarked on making a quilt and im about to put the binding on it and wow! I NEVER thought quilting could be so easy! I have sewn clothes which are 4d and a quilt is 2d so it’s WAY easier than making clothes! I’ve really had a mind shift and I’ve surprised myself with how it is turning out!
Thank y’all so much for inspiring me and encouraging me to make my very first quilt!!
Thanks so much for this video! I created my very first quilt, LOVE IT! You make it easy to understand. ❤❤
I’ve never quilted. Don’t know many men who have but I have a few antique quilts from GG-Grandmother, G-Grandmother, and Grandmother (I don’t think my mother ever did any, she was into knitting and crocheting). I have been wanting to try it for a long time and after watching this I definitely feel more confident. I will do a couple small ones like this to practice but eventually, I want to make a larger one with the hundreds of Crown Royal bags of different materials and colors, that I have been collecting for many years. Thank you for this detailed and well articulated video!!
It is going to be absolutely amazing!❤️🥰 Happy making.
We men quilters are out there, James. We might be a small minority, but we are present and enjoy the process.
Wanted to make a quilt for our first grandchild and didn't know where to start. This tutorial was absolutely brilliant and I couldn't have made it without Tracey and Emma. Thanks so much! Mum and baby love the quilt!
That is so wonderful- What a precious gift you made there. It will surely be loved for a long time ❤️🥰
Finally a quilt I can make….thank you so much…I’ve been struggling. I think I can do this….
I finally got my first sewing machine for my birthday yesterday. I've already ordered fabric for my first quilt. I'm going to make one for each of my children. Then go from there. I cannot wait!! My grandmother was a quilter. She would always send my sister and I home with some of her squares and I'd spend the next 2 weeks sewing them together by hand (very poorly) 🤣
Thank you for the upload. I took tons of notes.
This is such an amazing story! And congratulations, this is so exciting❤️
I've been quilting on my own for about a year now, but I've been making a lot of mistakes. This has been the best tutorial I've found that has helped me figure out everything I'm doing wrong. I LOVE the idea of the painters tape, just brilliant!
I agree! Very lovely !
Does your walking foot have a bar that you attach to the foot? Mine does and it's purpose is to evenly sew when doing straight line quilting. Another option besides taping.
I’m very new to machine sewing. Usually only turning up trousers where I always make a few backstitches at the start and end to lock the stitches and stop them undoing. When I sew the squares together, do I make a short backstitch at the start and end of sewing?
What a lovely instruction video - I can hardly wait to start it.
thankyou for this video i had no idea how to make a quilt before watching your video. youve made it look easier than i thought and im excited to have a go at making my first quilt easy to understand and follow instructions thankyou
That's so great! yay🥰
Ladies.. cannot tell how incredible you both are with your demonstration skills! You should have your own show! I made a beautiful quilt for my granddaughter following your step by step instructions! Bravo to both of you! Forever grateful!!
That is such lovely feedback! Thank you so much 🥰
Just about to sit and hand Sew my first binding. So thank you for helping me actually finish a quilt.
Such a helpful video, thank you!! I've never made a quilt but have been wanting to try it for a while and this gave me so much confidence to try!
yay- amazing!✨🥰
Thank you so much for this video. It was exactly what I needed since I have no experience at all in quilting yet. And thank you for keeping this art alive! :)
Just finished my first ever quilt using this tutorial. it's not perfect but i'm really happy with the results.
This is such a great achievement-you should be so proud! Well done and Happy making always🥰🧡
Congratulations on completing your first quilt. Chances are (if you are really looking at your work and willing to learn), each project builds your skill a bit and gets better and better. Chances are, too, that nobody by you sees the mistakes.
I love making quilts with a charm pack! It’s perfect for beginners!
Thank you very much for this tutorial, you explained it so well. I'm seriously considering doing this.
thanks ladies for the clear instructions, I never did quilting and was invited by a professional quilters but I been nervous to join them until I watched your Quilting 101 video Cheers from Vancouver
I've only made a few quilts but continue to watch UA-cam makers. I've found that everyone has their own way of doing things and I learn something new each time. This is a marvelous tutorial 🎉. Thanks for the video 😊
Yes you are absolutely right- thanks so much for your kind comment 🥰
Thank you for new info although I have been piecing/quilting for 30 plus years!
There is always something fun or new to learn isn't there? 😍❤️ The beauty of making!
I just bought a quilt at a thrift store for .99 cents!! Lots of work goes into them. Thanks for sharing
I’ve picked up a few quilts at the “thrift” stores although my stores don’t seem to be as thrifty as yours. I usually pay about $10 for medium sized quilts. It makes me sad to see them in there. Soooooo much thought, time, effort, money and typically love that goes into them to just be discarded. The ones I have found have been in great condition.
this video got me thru my first quilt -- and I've never really sewn ANYTHING before. Thank you for making it do-able for me. (and I made two other ones after the first one!)
This is so amazing✨🥰 Well done!
This video is exactly what i needed to find! The information was presented perfectly and I absorbed the process enough to feel confident in having a first go. Thank you ladies! 🥰
That is so very kind! Thank you and Happy making✨🥰
Ok. Because if this video... I am starting my first quilt. I have been afraid if everything except the quilt top. Now I can complete a quilt. Than you sooo very much..
That is amazing! Enjoy🥰
How’d it turn out
Thank you so much. First video I've watched on quilting. Looks like I could try this x
This is so wonderful to hear! Enjoy ❤️🥰
Hey Ladies, Thank you for a CLEAR REFRESHER on the CORRECT methods of making a Quilt Top. 🍀
I just started my first quilt. Thanks to you guys!!!
yay- that's super exciting! Happy making🥰❤️
I needed a video that discussed the basics of quilt assembly--and this was perfect! I quilt, but I don't follow any measurements or classic design principles. I love to just randomly sew strips of whatever fabric I love together along with muslin pieces embellished with ribbon or yarn. BUT, I was stumped as to how to put the quilt sandwich together and attach the binding. Thank you for this tutorial--it was clear and easy to understand, and now my finished quilt tops are making wonderful finished quilts!
This is absolutely amazing to hear! We are so happy that you were able to finish your quilt and thank you so much for your kind feedback. Happy making😍🧡
Amazing tutorial! Thank you very much, I plan on starting my freedom quilting journey to honor my ancestral heritage and this is the perfect launchpoint
What an absolutely gorgeous idea! 🧡
Your guidance through this was amazing. I decided to make a queen size for my first attempt, and am proud to say I have just finished the top.
Just finished the quilt, biggest thing I’ve made by far.
Calling this "the ultimate beginners guide..." is quite accurate. Your video is very clear and thorough. You have removed the potential terrors and pitfalls for a beginner. I've been quilting for a few years now but have always struggled with the binding step. From now on I'll simply use the method you demonstrated. Thank you for making the process so accessible to those just beginning (and everyone, actually). Offering the option of using charm packs to eliminate the cutting step will save time and effort and will get the quilter to the satisfying final step all the sooner. Brilliant!
You are so very kind! Thanks so much for your feedback, we really do appreciate it🥰❤️ Happy making!
These ladies are fabulous, they remind me of my grandma who recently passed and loved to quilt. Thank you for the AMAZING and easy-to-follow tutorial!!!!
This is so precious- thanks so much for sharing this with us and all the love to you 🥰
I love your step by step explanation. Am a beginner and this is great for me. Thank you 😊
You are very welcome 🥰
Love these ladies they do such a beautiful presentation. Thank you so much for this its help me know that I have my 500 square cut out now I have to put them on the floor take a picture and group them together big help. Thank you.
😍❤️
Very helpful tutorial, since I just wanted to make a quilt for my zero-G chair, too funky shaped to find in a store. I've only done garments, so some different steps I wouldn't have considered. I also had to buy a walking foot for my machine, as it's just a standard sewing, so it's good to see that in operation and that it gets used during the binding process as well. The Juki sounds like an old school rotary phone when it's sped up.
It makes us so happy to hear that you enjoyed the tutorial! Happy making always and thanks so much for your kind comment 🥰
Helpful video with great teachers! I was trying to find a thorough video on creating a “quilt as you go” square sandwich. But instead I learned how to cut perfect squares which is difficult. Thank you for that! Maybe you could do a video on basic quilt sandwiches with simple squares? ❤
Thanks for sharing . sooo many helpful tips! this is definitely easier that the blocks I am cutting . love it
🥰🧡
Wow thank you ladies for teaching me this. I can't wait to make my first quilt
Anytime- So glad you found this tutorial helpful 😍❤️
I'm diving into the world of quilting and this is a phenomenal video for beginners. Thank you!
You are so very welcome! 🥰❤️
Thank you for your video. I’m pretty much a new beginner with quilting so..I need so much easy go explanations of each step. You ladies are great at this in explaining all this.
I’ve always machine sewn binding , love the painters tape method.
Wow
These wonderful ladies really took the guesswork out of successfully making a quilt.
I can’t wait to make one 🤩
🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much this was so clear and helpful. Almost finished my first quilt ,not perfect but definitely made this learning curve so much easier .
yay- that's amazing! ❤️🥰
Look forward to more of these tutorials. Great help for beginners and a good refresh for others- thanks ladies
I'm a bit late to this party but I so enjoyed watching this process. This is the first video I've seen that shows the process from the beginning to the end. It was so helpful. I look forward to making my own quilt. Take care.
🥰🧡
Just finished this quilt! I’m a beginner quilter and new to sewing machines altogether but with this tutorial I felt confident enough and gave it a go. The quilt turned out beautiful, no perfect by any means but to me that’s a little reminder that it was homemade. It’s gonna be a gift for the newest baby in my family. Thank you
Can you tell me the finished size of this quilt? Thank you in advance :D
Thank you ladies for sharing it.
God bless.
Wish you all the best.
🧡🧡🧡
Thank you ladies. My daughter who 13 will be attempting this for a school project.
Years ago I was gifted a handmade quilt and I’ve always wanted to make my own. Now, thanks to this video I have! And I’ve had an amazing time doing it and I’ve ordered the supplies to start my next one! I learnt so much and the energy in this video is kind, calm and cheerful. Thank you to you both for helping me achieve something I’ve been wanting to do for years and years 🩷
That is so incredible! We are so happy that you gave it ago and loved it ❤️
Thanks for this video! It was very helpful. I can't wait to have a go at making my own first quilt. It's something I've wanted to do for years, but never quite worked up the courage to do until now, so I'm really excited! :)
This is super exciting- yay! We hope you enjoy and wish you Happy making always!🥰
I’m the same hun been wanting to do a double quilt for me bed 🛏️ for years but didn’t have a clue where to start 😳 but now I do thanks to this video 😁 xx
I've just decided to start quilting as my first Grandson will be born this week (Can't Wait) so I'm waiting on my sewing machine to arrive and your video was the first one that came up when I searched "How to". I'm originally from the UK so it's lovely to hear some familiar voices guiding me. Can't waiting to get started. Going out today to get my supplies! ♥
This is so very special! We hope you will enjoy making it for your Grandson🥰❤️
Thank you for the tutorial!! The explanations are thorough and easy to understand. I've been searching for the right tutorials, and this is the best one for me. Now, I've gained the courage to start my first quilt!
Best video of a quick quilt making one now thank you
That is so kind- thanks so much🥰❤️
Thanks girlie's. I'm going to do my first ever hexagonal quilt 3". Wish me luck
Yay- it is going to be amazing! 🥰
Finally, a CONCISE & in-depth tutorial from start to finish!!! Thank you, this is exactly what I needed
So glad it was helpful!
So glad you found it helpful Laura
As a knitter that has tried to teach people to knit, I'm glad to discover that saying "Well you can do that if you want, but you don't have to" about almost everything is a cross-craft phenomenon. It's all jazz!
(Really fantastic tutorial, btw!)
I know quilting is often regarded as a woman's thing and or something your grandma did and my grandma quilted alot back in the day,but i see no reason why men cant quilt too,and it's something ive always had an interest in as well.
🥰❤️Quilting is definitely for everyone!
You should definitely try!
It's a human thing not specific to any gender. Just do the craft because you enjoy it and forget about what anyone else might say.
Such a great video. Thank you!
Thank you for such an easy way how to do quilting. This is the easiest way I have seen and now I understand how to do the backing and the and borders. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
What a lovely tutorial!!!.. You ladies are just awesome .. I have always wanted to learn how to quilt and now I feel like I have at least the basics. I have sewn for decades and feel confidant that I am off to a great start.. Off to find myself a walking foot .. Thanks again for this Tracey and Emma YOU 2 ROCK..

I’m starting my first quilt next week. Thank y’all so much for this video. Very informative, and I am definitely more confident that I will be successful after watching. 🥰🥰🥰
that is super exciting- yay! Happy making 🥰
Great video. Great teachers! I was trying to find a thorough video on creating a “quilt as you go” square sandwich. But I learned how to cut perfect squares which is difficult. Thank you for that! Maybe you could do a video on basic quilt sandwiches with simple squares.
This Tutorial is amazing!!! Thank you
Thank you for this video! I'm definitely making a quilt this year
It's going to be amazing! 🥰
This was SO informative and makes me super excited to make my first quilt
This video was so helpful and I've saved it to review later. Thank you for the FUN tutorial!
Used to make these in the 70s, material was cheap and made quilts for my siblings beds to help keep them warm.
Fantastic! Exactly what I was looking for.
So glad this was helpful ❤️🥰 Happy making!
Thank you, thank you. I’m new to sewing and really wanted to give quilting a try.
Thank you so much ladies, brilliant tutorial xx
You are super welcome! 🥰❤️
Wonderful tutorial, Wonderful ladies , thank you very much ☺️
🥰❤️
Thank you so much for your video! I just finished my first quilt following your tutorial and I had so much fun.
I’ve learned so much from this video ❤️. I’ve made so many quilts but they’ve never been right-they’re functional and cozy but not beautiful and the seams don’t always line up. But, I never bothered to really learn how to do things the right way, like pressing the seams in the opposite direction.
Lovely ladies,, enjoyed watching and learning, you are a great team xx
That is so kind- thanks so much!❤️
This video was great! I’ve always only sewn garments and was surprised by the differences in quilting. Thank you for such an educational and instructional video! 💕
This video has been very helpful. Thank you so much for the simple and clear instructions. The tape idea is so great!
Thank you so much the Video helped so much and was easy to follow!
anytime ❤️🥰
Before watching, I had no idea how quilts were made. I’m new to sewing and I have so much to learn! This has been an amazing tutorial and has given me the confidence to try it, thank you so much! :) very excited to get started ❤
This makes us so so happy to read- yay! Happy making 😍
Thank you for sharing this,I’ve watched some and going to watch th rest later.I’ve always wanted to make a quilt,so thank you for giving me the kick up the bum I needed to have a go x
This is an amazing resource! Thank you so much! I'm in the process of making my first quilt, and your explanation and tips are much appreciated 🥰
Wow! Just wow! You ladies absolutely rock! I’m currently working step by step on my first quilt. (love how steps are divided into snippets btw). This video makes it easy, so easy! I’m tickled with the results so far. Without a doubt, I’ll be quilting more. This video is a definite motivator and confidence builder! Again thanks!
Great video! Thank you!
Thisnos a great video! Thank you both!
❤️❤️❤️
this is the best start to finish video i've seen
This video has really inspired me to make my first quilt. Thank you ❤️
yay- that's so exciting!🥰
this is a really good tutorial - you even express how to move hand over the ruler for cutting without releasing pressure (which means the ruler and fabric stay put while you're roller-cutting)! First time I've seen someone clearly explain to walk the hand over the ruler. :D
Even the first five minutes was so helpful!
Oh we are so happy to hear that- thanks so much ❤️
You two were great! You shared exactly what i needed to learn, how to put top middle and backing together. You made it so easy for me to put my first quilt together. Thank you. You were also very clear and understandable. I hope i kept you on my favorites. Im thinking you are LoveCrafts.
This is so very kind! Thank you so much for your lovely comment 🥰✨
