#quilting #fancy #stitch - Навчання та стиль
I've decided that watching Donna's tutorials, is the next best thing to having a private quilting lesson in my own home!
i totally agree with you!
For sure!
Absolutely perfectly said !!
@@suzannemazzola2093 qàà
Yes! I think Donna’s are the best on UA-cam! Everything is so clearly explained and her finished quilts are always spectacular.
Donna's my first quilting teacher. Discovered her during the pandemic. Her videos helped me sail through the blues. I remember telling my partner that if we are ever in the US, we are not returning without visiting her shop - a pilgrimage of sorts! ❤
Sadly, her shop is online only. I was planning to drop in this summer, and found out they are not open to the public. I found this out by reading the ‘OurStory’ portion of their webpage.😪
I can't believe how much I have learned from watching this tutorial! Donna, you are such a great teacher and so inspiring as well. No more boring borders for me!
I don’t know about all y’all but I wished there were more border tutorials. This is great!
I also wish their were more Border tutorials that are clear and not just a tad-bit showing. I have also learned a lot from watching Donna's tutorial. The only thing I don't like no matter who's tutorials is scrappy or tiny blocks. I donate all my scraps to our local Church Ladies that make quilts only for kids in need.
I'm 76 and I've hand quilted for years. I absolutely love watching these videos because I realize I'm not a failure. Donna presents the help I needed and is a blessing.
The way you explain everything makes quilting sounds very easy to do.
I’m in awe at your ability to transfer your vast knowledge to us… in such any easy, understandable and practical manner… so comfortable and I “USE” your techniques… thank you so much
She’s the absolute best teacher I have seen and I’ve seen a lot in my 64 years.
The only problem with your video’s is that they end! Then I have to wait until you upload another one. Lol. Seriously though, I do love you videos. They are packed full of usable information without a lot of distractions. I always learn something from them. This one on pieced borders was excellent! Thanks for all the inspiration!
Little 1 - you captured my feelings perfectly! Thanks
I agree!!
I agree but I am not fond of the background music that's in all the videos--it is distracting
@@mrruggles7587 There's nothing wrong with the BKground Music,...You can barely her it 😌
Not only are you an exceptional quilter, your method of teaching is fantastic. I always enjoy your videos. This one has been saved to my file. Love it!
That quilt top was already gorgeous, but that border MADE the quilt. Donna you are so talented, thank you for sharing your skills! 😊 ❤️
I think it is gorgeous also. I went to Jordan Fabrics to check and, as I thought, this is one of Matt Jordan's amazing Hand-Cuts. Donna is such a great instructor and Matt has the most fabulous eye for color combining. I have heard Donna say that purple and green combinations are a favorite for her. Me, too!
Matt is also fabulously accurate in his cutting. This Log Cabin quilt, not including any borders or backing, is made from two (2) of the Pre-Cut 12 Block Log Cabin Quilt Kits called Garden Gathering. I can highly recommend Matt's Pre-cut kits because they are wonderful and really fast to sew. Here is a link to the kit - jordanfabrics.com/collections/matts-hand-cuts/products/hoffman-batiks-pre-cut-12-block-log-cabin-quilt-kit-garden-gathering

I agree!!
The kit isn't available any longer.😞
I love the border you chose to add to your quilt, it looks like little gemstones popping out. It’s a gorgeous piece ❤️
My grandmother told me that quilting, done right, is as much about ironing as it is about sewing. You make that point so clear in your wonderful tutorials!
Yes, and knowing the difference between ironing and pressing is important too.
Your grandma was a smart lady! Of all the crafting as my Nana got into, quilting wasn’t one of them. I had to learn on my own. No UA-cam or Facebook back then. It’s amazing my first quilt came out as good as it did! Lol. I have learned much from Donna in the last two years that I found her videos! I thank G-d for her and a few others that I watch.
Linda Simpson:. My grandmother made that exact point while teaching me the difference.
I'm pretty new in quilting but Iove your Videos so much! So many tricks and advices. You are such a good teacher! I watch your videos and think "oh that's not so difficult, I can do this as well! " Thank you so much for your passion. You make quilting so much easier and available for everyone. Greetings from Germany! ❤
I Learned how to quilt with you many years ago..💕 I have had some distraction.... From my Quilting with personal and health issues... As I pick up my craft again ... watching you and your gentle, fun and exciting guidance... All of my excitement and skill and confidence... comes rush back to my soul... Thank You Donna... it's a Joy to be back with you... Happy Quilting indeed !!!!🌺
I can't praise you enough for your informative videos! Whether someone is a seasoned quilter looking for new ideas or someone new to quilting, your videos are self-explanatory. You make it look so easy! Thanks so much! I just love that green & purple batik log cabin quilt top!
You make it look so easy and it gives me confidence I can make these.
Right? It all looks so complicated until I see Donna's tutorial. Magic Donna is!
I spend a good deal of my day with my computer. And sewing. I'm spontaneous and usually work without a pattern. Your tutorials provide knowledge I use in my projects. Thank you for being straightforward, friendly, and practical.
Amazingly beautiful as usual Donna. Perfect timing seeing how I was just looking at your boarder samples on your website. This tutorial brought things to a much higher level. Words can't express my gratitude enough for all the incredible talent and dedication you have shared with us. Your an amazing lady and so blessed too have your husband Matt at your side. God bless you both.
Drawing a 1/4” line is as brilliant as it is simple (at 12:45 mark). Adding multiple borders and needed a refresher course so here I am again! Thank you so much.
This was a much needed tutorial for me. Thank you Donna, you are an awesome Teacher!
Thank you, thank you for your straight-forward, well-explained and perfectly filmed videos! I am learning a lot. I see now what I was doing wrong with my borders. Thank you again-
Donna! You scare the crap out of me. You drive that sewing machine like it’s a Porche. Holy smokes you sew fast. 😂 I suppose after making so many quilts and things you aren’t nervous at all but wow I worry for your fingers. ❤ Love all your videos. Just awesome. Thank you so much
Donna Jordan is helping to get me through this pandemic. This woman is brilliant in her artistry and craft. ♥️
You’re such a gifted teacher!!! Always love your tutorials and your quilts!
Donna must feel like a kid in a candy store making her quilts … she can go to the shelf and always get the exact color she needs. Would love to visit the store some time. Last I heard it was only online sales. Such a great teacher. Love her. ❤❤
The log cabin quilt just popped with that border, thank you for taking the time to explain these ideas.
Once again Donna you hit it out of the park.
Best easy beautiful
Oooh. I’m headed out for church, but I will be back because this is exactly what I need this morning
The way you explain everything makes quilting sounds very easy to do
Thank you Donna! I listen to you for hours while I work (and watch when I can) I have learned soooo much and can't wait to have some time to make all these beautiful patterns!
I’ve watched this video countless times when I nee a fun border! I have it saved so I will never loose it. I hope you do another one soon!
Those are all so beautiful. I love the colors in the quilt. A couple of those looked pretty tricky until you demonstrated how to do it. You are such a good teacher. You make things so clear and build such confidence! ❤
Watching this video while sipping a cup of coffee, mood: relaxing 😎
.....and Me with a cup of tea!
I have lemonade. 🙂
Cup of hot tea!
I enjoy watching Donna's Tutorials I may watch them over and over but afraid to venture out
I am making a quit for my son and wanted to put on a few borders for the first time. Your tutorial on borders was very helpful. Thanks!
WOW, Now that does make it easier. Thank you, I'll be adding these in the future for sure.
Matt and Donna I just loves ur videos on lovs uins
Donna, I love the diamond look border you made. My favorite of all of them. This video made me want to get quilting. I've had one pinned for a couple of months. Thanks for the inspiration, I'm on it today.
Love watching your videos. Learn something new everytime.
So great to know i can measure & cut borders to width/length...so much easier than what i have been doing. Another great tutorial from the "queen of quilting" - thank you, Donna!❤
I love all of your videos, Donna, but this one is so packed full of fun and useful information. Keep on rocking' it, and we look forward to coming to visit your shop when it is safe to do so again.
I have watched many, many tutorials of Donna's and this is by far this most helpful one I have seen! I am always wondering what to do to make borders interesting. Please do more!!!
WOW!! Thank you! I had no idea that these borders would be that easy! Thank you Jordan Fabrics!
That is the most helpful demo on figuring yardage I have seen . Thank you so much for this video and all the videos you do.
Thank you, Donna! I always learn so much from you. I love these borders. I’m inspired!
Y'know, if you had lined up the strips so that you had a triangle of waste, you could join the triangle into a square and make a throw pillow, thus not wasting the fabric.
THANK YOU, Donna! Great tutorial!
Thank you so much Donna! I love these options. They look so much harder to do. Thanks for simplifying them
Love these videos! Would you consider doing a tutorial on how to use up striped fabric? I noticed you avoid them when opening up fat quarters in previous tutorials.
Striped fabrics make a really neat binding, especially when it’s on the bias and wraps around the quilt like a candy cane. Also, with a bit of planning and careful and precise cutting, they make nice square in square and flying geese units. They can also make nice (and quick) mitered borders. It usually requires extra yardage for all these purposes (which is why she often sets them aside from precut bundles), but it does make a really nice affect in a quilt when used. I too, would like to see what else she would come up with. Donna has a fantastic eye for color and creative use for fabrics. I’m always amazed by her creativity, even when using someone else’s patterns.
Donna, thank you so much for the wonderful advice and samples of borders! I will save this one for sure!! Your tutorials are fabulous and I learn so much from you! Thank you!
Oh my … did not know what kind of cute border to make for my quilt until I saw your You Tube video … After watching it, I made the diagonal border with my left over jelly roll fabric … turned out absolutely beautiful. Thank you for the clear and easy instructions. You rock!
Thank you so much for doing this tutorial!! So awesome!
I ordered that precut log cabin. I’m a new by so this will be my second quilt. Expecting to go on lock down again in Oklahoma as our COVID numbers are rising again. I will have no excuse not to sew a quilt, super excited. I love love your tutorials. Thanks Donna!!!
I am in Oklahoma as well. It is scary how high the numbers are here. Stay safe!
Same here in Alabama 😷 I’m thinking about ordering the log cabin kit. And, I know if Matt cut them they will be perfect.
I'm here in Oklahoma, too, and was just diagnosed today. Was getting my dose of inspiration from Ms Donna and trying to find that kitten panel from the giveaway quilt. It makes me smile...would love to make one like that! You all take care!
@@mariamcmahon8249 Please take care of yourself! Check the info on Vitamin D
Loved this tutorial! Thank you so much, Donna. Your explanations and demonstration are always clear and the editing is just right. My quilting is ever-improving because of you.
Thank you for sharing your ideas! As I've gotten older, I've had trouble keeping my ruler from sliding as I am using my rotary cutter. On one of the videos I've watched this evening, you set an exercise weight on top of the ruler. Genius! Thank you so much for the idea. I watch your videos after I go to bed for the evening, and they make me want to get up and start quilting again! Your instructions are clear, and your instructions make trying something new. Thanks again.
Donna, you always amaze me with you talent! Thank you for sharing.
Oh my gosh! This is so timely! And I love quarter square triangles.
I can't thank you enough for teaching this. I needed this for a quilt I'm working on. You are an exceptional teacher and artist. I appreciate your talents and generosity. xoxo
I love your tutorials. They are just wonderful.
New quilter here, Great simple & beautiful borders. Thank you so much for your inspiration.
Oh my gosh, Donna, that is a beautiful border! Thanks so much for your excitement and excellent, simple instruction.
The borders really give it a classy look! Thank you for the inspiration ❤
I love watching your tutorials. Your such a great teacher.
This is an awesome video about fancy borders! Thank you, Donna!!!
Donna, this was perfect timing! I just finished the middle of my first quilt top and I have been trying to figure out the borders. I have leftover charm squares and now I know how to use them up to make a super cute border. I love your videos! I live in Portland and I was excited to find out that you are in Oregon too. When things get back to “normal”, I hope to visit your store.
Wow! I am always amazed by what you show! I’m still making your Christmas tree napkins! I have had requests!! Thanks again for filling my brain with new and exciting things! Love you guys and can’t wait till I can visit from 🇨🇦!!
Let me know and I will go then as well. I adore the entire concept of Jordan Fabrics.
Since I am dreaming, I will get a great hotel room and bring my portable craft room, shop/sew/shop/sew. Do you think we could rent time on those great tables!! LOL
Thank you so much. You explain so gently and easily so that I can understand and maybe quilt and border, Ive, never quilted before, I just turned 65 and always wanted to, so I think you will be a great teacher for me. Thank you again.
The timing for this tutorial is perfect! I have a quilt I'm working on and I wanted to add something special on two of the borders (to make it king size). I've spent the last two days trying to come up with something that would look really good without being too time consuming. Thank you for this video!! It's a great help!!
I absolutely love all your videos! Most people I know binge watch videos on Netflix but I binge watch all your videos on UA-cam. Oh, plus I’ll rewatch them several times 😂 I’m excited to attempt making a quilt but I’m not quite there yet, I’ve got a ton to learn yet. Quilling is expensive so that stands in the way too, I use old clothing to practice sewing with. Thank you for giving us all so much information and entertainment.😊
Love and prayers from Delaware ❤️🙏
Sometimes you just have to dive in. I took the plunge when I was 30. I never to home-ec and taught myself on a basic machine I got on a close out sale. I read the manual and crossed my fingers! Using old clothes is exactly how quilting was originally done. Start with a beginner pattern. Donna has some or you can find lots of them online. Good luck!
I love using old clothing for sewing. Donna has well over 100 free patterns at jordanfabrics.com/pages/free-patterns-thumbnails
You could keep pulling your clothing fabrics together with a plan to create something beautiful from one of the patterns. Since there are table runner, pillow, totes and other patterns there, you could start with something small. I like doing that because you can learn so much from it and it gives you an idea what kind of space, time, fabric, batting, backing and more that is needed for a big quilt. I think there is probably a tutorial for every free pattern. If you choose a pattern, search UA-cam with the words Jordan Fabrics + the name of that pattern. Enjoy!
@@trishwinstead28 that’s what I was thinking too. I’m going in for my 3rd heart surgery in a year the day before Thanksgiving. I wish I had the time and supplies to make something for my kids. I’ve watched every video Donna has at least once and I think there’s enough stuff I could handle on a regular machine. I’d love to have a quilt to have on my bed, something bright and cheerful since I spend most of my time there. She’s really awesome at breaking down the steps ❤️
@@loriramseier8290 I love using some of my favorite shirts to repurpose them into something new ❤️
It is pleasure to watch your videos!
I have just start teaching myself to quilt this week using UA-cam videos. I have to say I was feeling a little daunted to the point of procrastination before starting each stage. Until tonight when I’m at the stage of working out how to make my border. After watching this tutorial I am almost physically bouncing with excitement. It was SO easy to follow… clear instructions made it look so easy… but in a way I do know that I will be able to do it myself! Thank you SO much!
Thank you so much for this tutorial!
Yes, good advices.
Love all these borders! 😍😍 I have used them as sashing too, especially the diamonds and the last border demonstrated. I put very narrow strips either side of the main piece then add the sashing to the quilt. 😊😊😊
I loved all the borders, too. Your idea sounds great.
I just keep watching this over and over for the border instructions you're so good.
Another GREAT TUTORIAL! You do the BEST videos. I so enjoy them. I learn something every time. Thank you so much!
Darn - I just finished putting the boards on my quilt yesterday. Wish I had seen this earlier. Oh well, ideas for the coming quilts
Using two different blocks for quarter squares would send my slightly ocd mind right 'round the bend!!

Hi Donna, I have not quilt before but I decided to do it, getting all my tools first. watching you doing the borders seems so easy and explaining it to your viewer. I will continue watching all your tutorials before I make my first quilt. Thank you so much and stay safe,
I can't think of anything more to say other than to repeat all that has been said before. What a talent, what an inspiration ! Thank you, thank you, Donna and family. You saved my sanity during lockdown and now I can't stop patch working and quilting ! How I wish I lived down the road from Jordan's Fabrics - my bank account is probably grateful that I don't !
Donna, one of the give away quilts has a striped border. Could you show how to add a striped border similar to that one?
I really like the border you have choosen in the end. The others were a bit too much.
I love how you explain everything Thank You
Donna, I love your videos and the ease of which you teach and explain even the simplicity of each steps. Thank you.
Wonderful tutorial, can we see a similar one regarding different styles of sashing, please?
I'll see what we can do!
@@jordanfabrics8380
If I wanted to make my diamonds bigger, how wide do I cut the sashing? You did 2 1-2” strips for the diamonds and 3 1/2” background sashing on both sides. If I cut my diamond strips 4” do I cut the background sashing strips 5”?
I missed the giveaway for these but LOVE the wall hanging with the cats! Our family are all cat people (one son has 4 rescue cats...2 who are sisters dumped on our farm as small kittens, the other two are brother and sister dumped on a shelter doorstep) and we have 3 along with our daughter and granddaughter's 3 cats right now in our house! Yes we have several litter boxes and clean them often. Lol. So I would love to make 3 or 4 like that. Where did you get the panel please.
This is my favorite of your tutorials, the borders are fabulous, and the colors of your quilt just knocks my socks off! SOOO pretty!!! You’re such a treasure, Donna! Thank you for ALL your fantastic tutorials!! You inspired me to start quilting, at age 69. Having a BLAST!!! Family reaping the rewards😊. God bless the quilters of the world 🫶
This is exactly the video I needed trying to make some decisions about what borders to add. I wish more people would share these types of videos focusing on finishing options.
What about wide borders, and double and triple borders. We need to discuss this.
I thought we did.
@@jjk109 I will research. I must have missed it
This is great! But enough with the ads every 3 minutes.
Agreed but I don’t think the folks at Jordan’s Fabrics have any control over the ads.
UA-cam controls the ads, and their terms of use state clearly they have the right to plug in whatever they want. It’s annoying, yes, but it’s how UA-cam remains free.
Two of my favorite things this time, I love log cabins and love, love basics. Thanks for showing how to do borders.Thanks Donna, Happy Sewing
Donna thanks so much for all your tutorials. I love how you teach.
Surely the top border needs to be half an inch more than you said.
that's so funny I was thinking exactly the same thing when I was editing the video, I finally realized the top border is 42'' because you add 1 1/2 to EACH SIDE, so 39 + 1 1/2 twice comes out to 42''. For a good 5 minutes I thought the info was wrong and we would have to re-film that scene! I hope that makes sense, and also hope I haven't made a confusing mistake for everyone -
James Jordan
Yes, because you only lose 1/4” when you sew the side border on, making it 1-3/4”. You should add 3-1/2” to the top and bottom borders. Wisely, Donna added extra to her measurement and then she measures across the quilt before cutting the strips, so she corrects the error in her math.
The seam allowance takes up the “other” 1/2. Each border (2) when sewn to the quilt top will take 1/4 off the measurements so both together take 1/2 off the top border.
@@jordanfabrics8380 It depends if the seam allowance is a half inch when attaching the side border to the patchwork. If it's 1/4 inch then the top border will be a half inch short... a 1/4 on each end because you have taken off the outside seam allowance when it hasn't been used yet.... I haven't watched the whole thing yet though but that would be why the half inch.
Edit: I am dumb. 🤣
HMMMMmmmmmmm I think you lose 1/2 inch, because a quarter inch seam takes 1/4 from both the border and the quilt... So a 2'' border, will end up only adding 1 1/2 inch to each side, so it will end up being a total of 3 inches wider. so the original 39 inch width will end up at 42'', and that's how long the top border needs to be? I'm completely second guessing if that's correct now haha... I will be very interested to find out!
-James Jordan
Donna.I love this tutorial and I am so thankful for all tutorial that you give to us. Gratitude always and one day I am going to your store and if I am lucky enough I am going to see you. Thank you so much
OMG this is exactly what I needed to know. I don't normally put pieced borders until my recent project. I appreciate your tutorials so much, I wish I could visit your shop someday! Thanks Donna!!
I love your how-to videos... I use your techniques all the time... these borders are awsome... thank you for sharing them.
I made a quilt top that I designed myself and for awhile there wasn’t crazy about it. I thought it looked rather blah. Then I found this and added the border with diamonds. Wow did that ever change the entire look of my quilt. Just thrilled and yes Donna’s instructions are the best. Thorough and well presented. Thank you Donna!
Wow! These are wonderful ideas! Thank you for showing this using similar fabric for the same quilt! It really puts perspective in our preferences!
Thank you Donna, you are a fabulous Tutor!
I like your clear instructions and drool over fabrics used!! Love your work Donna.
Don't have a lot of time for quilting but really enjoy and learn a lot from the videos. Really learned a lot on making borders. Thank you so much.
