I'm redoing a baby quilt of my grand daughters, the batting is very thick, when I tttry to sew it, it bunches up, how can I stop that from happening? Anyone have any su?

This is so cool! I just made a couple of crazy quilt blocks. I like your prosperity hens.

How did you determine the angel? That's one thing I can't figure out

I do not iron my pillowcases. I loved this video.

Another Guggenhein ❤️ lover. I have so many different sizes and I love them all.

I am happy to Subscribe because I love your style of teaching. I got an extra thrill when you pulled out that old folding ruler. I have my father's, who was born in 1905. So glad to have a reason to use it! Thank 😊 you

So excited for this process. I just ordered your book. Love the first one too!

So it seems like you have to always have a straight edge upon which to sew your next piece?

Lovely

So many great ideas... thank you!

Just ordered the two books - woohoo!!! Can’t wait to get wonky this summer LOL 😂❤

Did you put vodka in your iron instead of water?? Tipsy iron!

I only have my son but I took care of my brother's 2 and his best friend, who was like another brother, daughter as well. So when they wanted to do something and I had my list of things I needed to do I would bargain for a trade. Usually they wanted to go swimming so who wants to vacuum, dust, and sweep? I would clean the bathroom, and everyone hated dusting so I would have to remember who did it last time and the got to use the swifter to sweep. (Most loved job, seconded was vaccuming.) They got to swim and I could mark off a few things from my list.

Cute shirt and yellow cover.

I also just upgraded from a Pfaff to a Janome that’s almost the same as yours. Mine is a 6700. Love mine so far! I hadn’t thought to see if the feet fit on both machines.

Thanks!

Congratulations! I really enjoy your channel! thank you!

Cool!

Love your design. And thank you for the quilting hacks.

You style and spirit are so inspiring. Thank you!

Yay, i can't wait for Christmas in july. Im definitely buying the elf pattern ❤

Congrats on another book. 😊

I didn’t think the wonky thing was going to inspire me but this is truly inspirational. Thank you so much! I’m going to start a wonky quilt as soon as I get your book. So many fun options here! 🥰

I really love wonky and improve is even better 💕 and I only have clothing fabric so this is right up my ally. 😊 🫂

If it's something I haven't touched in 18months or more, I move it along. If I forgot about it and stumble upon the project, I tell myself, I have to finish it in 2 weeks or more it along. I generally have 5 quilts and /or sewing projects going, but all at different places, so that when I have time for a particular part of the process or am in the mood to do that part, I can get to it. I get in ruts if I work on the same project too long non-stop. As I finish 1, I can start cutting pieces for the next. Right now I am working through my stash. So every time I start a new project, as I am selecting my fabric, I reevaluate the stash and eliminate fabric I changed my mind about.

These look like sew mich fun! I am always afraid of not making my blocks perfect (it has kept me from finishing a baby quilt for a year 😢) and knowing that my quilt won't turn out just so. This is such a freeing way to sew and create. Thank you!😊❤

Wonky blocks are so clever, but i am quite spatially challenged, and it just confused me!

I could really get into the wonky quilting. The more I see it, the more I like it. As you flipped through your book, I was surprised at how modern some of the old quilts were. I always picture the more traditional quilt blocks when I think of old quilts.

One other tip I have come across in terms of making sure things are wonky/not too straight is to cut freehand with scissors instead of using a rotary cutter.

I love these wonky blocks! But they really mess with my mind!

Oh this is great! Love 💕

Thank you Nikki for all the great advice. Love your KZbin. You are so talented and have so many great ideas! Thanks for sharing🤗♥️

Love it thankyou will look at pdf book idea as I’m in Australia postage too expensive😊

I live in a wonky world - thank you 🙃🤩

Yes! I am sooo happy about the chickens

Making kids quilts 6 pm

Improv is a great way to just piece without making precise decisions - love it

My daughter wants me to make a dozen for something she's making to sell. Great instructions. QUESTION: do you ever zig-zag along the box corner seams for extra strength?

Nicki, I got so inspired by watching you today, that I went straight out to my sewing-space and made a wonky courthouse step-block, and turned it into a hot pad for casseroles. It has allready moved into my kitchen. I also have finally made myself a sewing space in what used to be our study/storage room, and used many of your tips and idas for a small sewing room. I am SO happy!! Thank you! for the inspiration !

I so needed to hear this ! Thank you so much . I will now sew guilt free xx

I am working on a “wonky roses” quilt. I started it last year and it’s been a lot of fun!

Love emprov!❤️❤️❤️

What is this. Who am I. What have I become. This is addictive! I make clothing and now I have 3 quilt blocks hanging on my inspiration wall. 2 are courthouse steps. The work table was out of control. I need a Coke Zero. Good grief. This is the influence you have - well done! You're a fantastic teacher!

I always love when someone has a project for their scraps !!! I love wonky tooooo !!! Best of luck with your books 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

FYI: The center red block in traditional log cabin blocks was to represent the fireplace in the cabin. Love your blocks!

I love what you do 😊. I do however have a question. Is it possible to make a rag quilt using slow stitching.

Love the tape

What a fun and pretty block. I love improv but am one of those quilters who has a hard time with wonky. But wonky is so pretty!! Thanks for this tutorial I'm adding it to my list. Thank you.
