[@cindytanton2783]

Excellent help for this beginner, I really appreciate your clear teaching and including how to properly use the squaring tools.

[@MsAmberSunshine]

Love love love this tutorial. In the back of my mind, I’ve always wanted to make flies, but they seem so intimidating. Thank you for this in-depth tutorial that has made me feel like oh I think I can do it. I’ve ordered a couple of the rulers that you use or suggested from Amazon and used my rewards in one of the purchases.. I’m excited for all of it, the flying geese, the bonus blocks. Thank you again for making this tutorial.. much Quilty love to you♥️

[@pennyarbuckle]

Love your instructions !! And your voice is soo calm and instructive !

[@lyndacottam397]

Thank you Ledine. I knew you would explain it simply for the beginner to understand. Wasn’t expecting you to turn out so quickly after I asked. Xx

[@sugarstitchesquiltco]

You were a mind reader because I’ve had these planned! Next up, 4 at a time flying geese this weekend!!

[@missywhitson]

Thank you! I have only been quilting for a little over a year and always struggled with SNF flying geese. Watched your video and finally got it right. Thank you for the tutorial! ❤

[@leswilliams4022]

Excellent tutorial! Thank you.

[@gerrygerry5129]

Just what I was looking for!!! Thanks!!!

[@user-hi2wk5iy8s]

This was very useful and helpful. Thank you much!

[@131dyana]

Thank you very much.

[@sugarstitchesquiltco]

You are welcome!

[@wilycat5290]

I love specialty rulers, but realize how to be selective. Rulers are spendy and I don't need them all. Thanks for the video 😊

[@suebean3873]

I agree with you, I like using the specialty rulers, they sure help out. Thanks so much.

[@patriciasmith3615]

Lovely clear instructions and a great video to watch and learn from. Thank you

[@user-bf9zs4os6k]

Thank you for your excellent tutorial! The instructions were very clear and delivered in a quiet calm manner.This is my first time making them so after watching you I feel confident to go ahead.

[@charlottelineberry6826]

Thank you for all your tips, so helpful!!

[@nancychick8148]

I love my loc block rulers! I bought the smallest ones to make doll quilts!

[@karenbirckhead3101]

I love your patience during your tutorials! Thank you so much for your valuable lessons! I love watching them!♥️

[@sugarstitchesquiltco]

Thanks so much Karen!

[@suebean3873]

You are so well spoken, and easy to listen to. Thanks for your expertise on the flying geese. I used to make them all the time but haven’t done so for a long time. I believe I used to make 4 or 8 at a time. Will be watching you this weekend, thank u!

[@sugarstitchesquiltco]

I love the 4 at a time but sometimes 1 at a time is better, glad we have both!!

[@racheljohnson4274]

Best tutorial I’ve seen, thank you so much ☺️

[@stephanieiverson3515]

I so enjoy watching and listening to your video’s. I have learned so much!!

[@sugarstitchesquiltco]

That’s great to hear! Thanks for watching!

[@GiselaSuski]

Your video was so helpful, I have beein trying for days to get my points correct. Thank you for such great detail; I was doing small flying geese.

[@marialinder1295]

This is very helpful.

[@sugarstitchesquiltco]

Glad you think so!

[@TheQuiltingLunchLady]

You have nice video quality with great sound and editing. Besides the content, this is something I look for. This content is solid, well communicated and has great documentation. Great job, I will definitely be using this method in the future along with the documentation. Thanks!!!!

[@sugarstitchesquiltco]

Good to hear, I appreciate that and you being here!

[@louisevannorden2001]

How do you cut your pieces so perfectly? I struggle so hard and still have no success. Your’s are perfect! Thank you for the tutorial, Ledine! I am a truly beginner and haven’t mastered any of the blocks. My rectangles about a quarter inch larger no matter how carefully I match the squares to the rectangle. Help!!! Thank you again Ledine.

[@renestovall9226]

You are an awesome teacher! Thank you😊

[@sugarstitchesquiltco]

Thank you! 😃

[@laurencegifford8788]

Thank you! ❤️💐

[@sugarstitchesquiltco]

You are so welcome!!

[@berniceoconnor5381]

Lovely clear tuition. Thank you. Just found you and subscribed.

[@lilliang.284]

I have an order already placed for Bloc-Loc flying geese rulers. Nice video.

[@sugarstitchesquiltco]

You won’t be disappointed! I love mine!!

[@patriciasugars8725]

Really great, though flying geese. Thank you. Just wanted to mention you can take those left over half square triangles and sew them together for a smaller size flying geese.

[@sugarstitchesquiltco]

You sure can! Lots to do with them!! I have a drawer full waiting for another project!

[@judywhittle6343]

Very informative video. You teach me so much.😊

[@sugarstitchesquiltco]

I'm so glad!

[@dianem2881]

I love flying geese blocks, but have been having difficulty cutting off my points. Your video has the best solution that I have seen for dealing with that issue. Thank you!! One question: How do you feel about trimming off that foundation rectangle? Is there an advantage to leaving it in place? As to rulers, I admit that I have bought quite a few. However, even though it is sometimes easier, I like to know how to plan my blocks without buying another ruler. Thank you again. I will defintely be watching more of your videos

[@pamelaramos7777]

Your videos are so informative. You are an awesome instructor. ❤

[@sugarstitchesquiltco]

Thank you so much! That was sweet! Thanks for watching!

[@chandrasutton4669]

Nice!!!😊🎉❤

[@theresahubbard5165]

Very informative! I really appreciate the extra tips too. I guess I’m to cheap to buy the fancy ruler’s if I can do it with one I already have. 😂

[@sugarstitchesquiltco]

Oh I get that!! But you don’t NEED them so that’s good!! Thanks for watching!

[@patblood6384]

Excellent tutorial - very informative!!

[@sugarstitchesquiltco]

Glad it was helpful!

[@carmenbailey1560]

Awesome tutorial, thank you so much for sharing 👍❤️😊

[@sugarstitchesquiltco]

My pleasure 😊

[@janetaysom5245]

Love my Bloc Locs and have several sizes. One I'm using today is 1x3" finished. It's the way to go on blocks this small.

[@sugarstitchesquiltco]

Ohhh I just saw a pattern today online with those sizes and I was thinking the same thing!! Good luck, I bet they are adorable!

[@teresarichmond7752]

Your video for making Flying Geese blocks is amazing! You are such a fantastic teacher! I have been tasked with repairing my son's awarding winning flying geese quilt which was made for him by my Mother in the 1980's. Unfortunately, his dog got to the quilt and put many holes in the quilt, most went completely through the quilt. This quilt was hand stitched by my mother and was beautiful. I simply appliqued patches onto the back of the quilt but on the front, I want to repair it while honoring my Mother. I am not a quilter, at this point, however, I do have many fabric remnants from the original fabrics used and I have most of my Mother's old quilting supplies, rulers, cutting mats and rotary cutters. This video gives me hope that I may be able to repair it without completely ruining it. This means so much to me. Thanks again for making this video with such easy to follow instructions.

[@kimberleebailey-murders7666]

Love how you explain things …..I’m very new at quilting and I’m practicing techniques…thank you ❤

[@sugarstitchesquiltco]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@jfarm8854]

Just found your channel and love your teaching style. Thank you!

[@sugarstitchesquiltco]

That’s great! Glad to have you here!

[@Taliesin1997]

I just recently found your channel and am loving your teaching style in that you thoroughly explain everything and do it at a slower pace that I can follow along with. At age 70 my mind does not work as fast as it used to! I was wondering if you would have a link to the quilt math charts so that I can print them out for reference? Thank you! Margaret

[@sugarstitchesquiltco]

Yes I have a guide linked in the description 🤩 I’m glad you’re here and learning!

[@andree2808]

Great tips, thank you! I’m about to start a project that’s all about flying geese and I’ve not done them before, so this will be very useful 😊

[@sugarstitchesquiltco]

So glad to hear! I’ll be posting a 4 at a time video this weekend!

[@annmitchell-scott7562]

You are the BEST teacher!

[@sarahbloom1045]

Thank you. Very informative.

[@sugarstitchesquiltco]

Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it!

[@marcydiver]

That's so cool! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I do like the specialty rulers. The bonus HST is great. I have wasted a lot of fabric by throwing this little piece away. I am a new subscriber and can't wait to find out more tricks. Thank you for the great video.

[@sugarstitchesquiltco]

Thanks for watching! I love this tip!! I would try to use the little scraps but this is better!!

[@denisewarner8982]

Looks easier than I thought, cost on having too many rulers, money I would rather have for fabric when I can.

[@phyllislong1791]

Great tutorial..Love your slow and deliberate teaching. And love your camera skills, close ups are so important to visual learners. I would like you to teach foundation paper piecing. I have watched many tutorials, none clear to me, too fast or no closeups. I need a way to keep the steps in the correct order. Can you help?

[@sugarstitchesquiltco]

I sure can!! I have FPP tutorials planned, stay tuned!! Thanks for watching!!

[@jenihansen7201]

OHHHHH Thank you so much for the quilting math. Have anymore math tricks that we can use on say like, HST, or LOG cabin blocks ?

[@sugarstitchesquiltco]

I just recently posted a log cabin and HST tutorial, more coming soon!!

[@EllaMOdom]

Creative Grids just came out with a 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 ruler and a 1 1/2 in. square ruler.

[@sugarstitchesquiltco]

Oh thanks for the heads up! I'm going to grab that one!

[@tltl7525]

l love your wonderful ruler please advise where to buy that ruler tks

[@apallowick]

I haven't invested in any specialty rulers, yet, besides a strip ruler.

[@jeannereinisch114]

I like specialty rulers, I have Bloc Loc, Clearly Perfect Slotted Trimmer and several others…but the prices for these rulers is ridiculously expensive. I can’t afford a room full of specialty rulers.

[@campinglady81]

I am confused about the chart- it says to cut 4 squares … wouldn’t you need 2 squares for each flying geese?

[@julielee789]

I have a love hate relationship with specialty rulers. I like the loc bloc rulers because they are so simple. Some of the rulers have so much information on them which makes them very confusing. What I really like is being able to take my basic rulers and do the same thing as the fancy ruler. I ordered a really pretty pattern a while ago. When it came I was so excited--then I read the pattern all the way through like a good quilter should. I found out that I need THREE specialty rulers!!!! Of course they were there brand😮. Each ruler was $19.98. Only another $60.00. I promptly repackaged the pattern, added a not so delicate letter and mailed the pattern back. I was really disgusted with them! Needless to say I’m out the price of the pattern and return postage and I haven’t heard from them. Poor me😢

[@sugarstitchesquiltco]

Oh no!!! I hate to hear that! I try to never require any speciality tool in my patterns because I sure wouldn’t want a surprise like that! Good luck to you!

[@debralucca7527]

Looks like a good tutorial but I cannot hear anything.

[@sugarstitchesquiltco]

Hi Debra, not sure what the problem is, is the volume button within KZbin on mute? It’s different than your computer or phone volume. Double check that 👍

[@debralucca7527]

@@sugarstitchesquiltco thank you. Looking forward to seeing more of your tutorials...
