Oh my gosh I have watched so many how to quilt videos and sort of understood lol. You made me understand completely and I am going to whip up one of these with you!!
I’m so happy to hear this Lisa!! Thank you so much for watching!
This is perfect! I just started sewing with my sister. She's done a few quilts and kits and I've never done any before. Thank you for the great information, it's very clear and understandable for a first timer! I'm glad you pointed out the 2 setting on the machine, I was actually wondering about what my settings should be.
Thank you for watching and for your sweet comment! That’s so excited about beginning to quilt. Glad this is helpful info! I feel a little long winded sometimes 😂
@@southernsewingco it was perfect, I personally benefit from “extra” information! You weren’t long winded at all 👍
This series is amazing! Can’t wait to get started on mine. Do you have any guidance on thread selection?
Thank you!!! I forgot to include this so I will definitely create something soon! I typically use 100% cotton thread! This brand is one of my favorites from Amazon. amzn.to/4ba4xrp. When I first got started, I bought a neutral color pack. I use white the most! Especially piecing.
Oh my gosh this was so helpful. I’m so glad I found this. One silly question I have is, with the blocks with the pinked sides, where does the 1/4” seam begin? I had the seams be off a bit because I had two different sizes with blocks that had the straight cut sides and the others with the pinked. Ugh I know it was hard to make the same size. 😮 sorry for being so off.
This is a great question! I’m sorry I didn’t address this in the video! This can be a little tricky but the best way to figure this out is to go off your cut fabric (since we are confident that it is an accurate 5”), line that up perfectly in the middle of your charm pack square and then use the cut fabric to follow along your 1/4” seam allowance. I really should have mentioned this in the video! I may do another video about this soon!
@@southernsewingco I’m so excited to watch when you do…Thank you!!!! 🥰
