Quilting and binding a quilt | finishing my $1 quilt! | sew along with me

[@alydchase]

Thank you for sharing your binding technique for connecting the ends! I have referred to your videos each time I attempt it, until it’s stored in my memory. Works perfectly every time! It’s lovely to sew with you, Beth. 🥰

[@elizabethgardner5207]

Thank you Beth. This was so relaxing after a very busy day. Your hard work does double duty: makes quilts and soothes this weary watcher

[@SewAndTellwithDori]

I guessed that this quilt was going to a granddaughter. 🙂 Very, very pretty. I'm sure your granddaughter will just love it! Lucky little girl.

[@Hazel-r9p]

Beautiful quilt for someone very special! Our grandchildren hold a piece of our hearts like no other.

[@joydavis3089]

What a beautiful quilt. Your Grandaughter is going to love it. I took a free motion quilt class and the teacher talked about gloves, or the stuff they use for counting cash. You can get it at office supply store near the paper tube for coins and money counters. It's not tacky and doesn't leave a residue. You just put a dab on your finger tips.

[@sadiejosiemom]

Such a sweet quilt! The binding and backing were perfect!

[@nonyabidness1623]

WoW! Love the colors, and the quilting on this, You do such great work! Hey hope the peace you bring time and time again finds it's way back to you, may you be Saturated with the presence of our Creator always! Hugs from Texas, lis

[@lisahenderson2993]

Beth, your quilt is beautiful. The fabrics, the pattern, the quilting, every little stitch has contributed to making this quilt special and exactly what quilts are supposed to be, a big warm hug from someone who loves you. Wonderful work! ❤️

[@juliemorrison4348]

Great finish to this pretty quilt Beth. Love the spotty backing used and your determination in manouvering such a large quilt on your machine. Such a pretty quilt and sure your granddaughter will love it. ♥️🇦🇺

[@AvaGld2309]

When you described the quilting as "Just Doodles," it greed me from the intimidation of trying to get it perfect. Thank you!

[@joywest1740]

Very lucky granddaughter to receive this quilt that was definitely made with love.

Good evening Beth, I love that polka dot sheet that you have used at the back of the quilt, it as all the colours in it, but shows them up in an ordered way. I was told that you make these quilts not only for your own friends and family, but for the new friends that you are yet to meet. What a wonderful way to use up scraps that take up room just lying there, but being used to make something so useful but so "comforting" at the same time. I hope that your granddaughter will love her new hugs from her Granny, she can wrap this around her when needing that hug from the one person that matters to her most. Thank you for sharing this lovely bits and bobs quilt, sending you hugs from Norah, Glenochil, Scotland

Thank you so much for the tip about the use of the big rolls of batting, now I feel like I can do that. The rolls are such a big savings aren't they? Love your love and simplicity of work! Have a Merry Christmas!

[@ruthhucks1192]

Beth, this is such a lovely scrappy quilt. I cut about an inch off the fingertips of thumbs and pointer fingers on my gloves. This allows sensitivity with those fingers yet grip on palms and other fingers to help move the quilt around.

Stunning quilt. It would have been pretty with either binding. The short is such a lovely shade of pink. But the border you chose also makes the sheet bordered center the main attraction.

Such happy colors!❤ thanks so much for another great one😊😊

[@karens1967]

Thank you Beth. This quilt is just lovely. I've been using safety pins to pin my quilt layers together for over 25 years. But it looks like that 505 spray is worth a try. Also, for whatever it's worth, I use Machingers gloves. They let me feel the quilt, and I usually do not have to take them off for some other task. They last a long time. Happy Holidays 😊

[@juliatepe5760]

The 505 spray is great! I recently tried a cheaper brand, but will be going back to 505 for big projects. For smaller items, I use Elmers School glue stick.

[@carolg.6838]

@@juliatepe5760 I have a quilt to sandwhich and as it is a Christmas gift I can't wimp out. I used the curved pins before and occasionally had a pucker on the back (probably it was ny fault and not the pins). A friend uses the 505 and another KZbinr says 505 is better than a different spray. Does it have much of an odor and does the odor linger? I have chemical "scent"sitivities but boy Beth makes the spray look so easy. Another friend with wrist issues uses pieces of 5'8 inch wide fusible that comes on a roll. Puts some in the corners and sprinkles pieces throughout and uses the iron to fuse with no problems quilting. I might be returning 3 pigs of safety pins! I bought some of the adhesive.

[@juliatepe5760]

@@carolg.6838 I use the spray outside and detect very little odor if any. Even when I bring the sandwich into the sewing room, I don't detect any odor. I use a few pins at the corners mostly for my piece of mind. Good luck!

Haven't found the right ones for me yet. I think I may try the Marcia Baraldi Quilting Grips -- it's a grippy surface that's just in your palm and leaves fingers free. 🤷‍♀️

Thank you Beth for all the videos this year. They have been so inspirational and I have learned a great deal. PS. Don't throw away those gardening gloves yet. Try cutting some of the fingers out of them. That way you can still use your fingers and have the benefits of a glove. Merry Christmas and happy new year.🎄

[@susieinthecountry4434]

[@helenfields2318]

I'm impressed with using sheets to get good yardage. More 'bang for your buck". Also that you are using up stash instead of buying more. I need to follow your example!

[@charlenekendall913]

You know what was great about this project? You made a beautiful quilt from scraps and thriftiness. Not all of us can afford precuts. Also, everything was done on the sewing machine. Yay, no longarm. Not all of us can afford a longarm, don't have the extra room for it, and we can't afford paying to have someone else quilt it. These are the reasons I keep watching your videos.

[@helenmorgan4003]

Just read some of the comments about using sheets for backing one of our op-shops will donate doona covers to our group to use on charity quilts we get at least 2backings from each cover and often matching pillow slips that make good blocks for the top. This op-shop is in a reasonably affluent rural town so covers are of great quality with hardly any wear and often children's characters on them.

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

I have always had trouble trying to quilt a quilt with two layers of sheets in it. It really makes a mess of my machine. I think I might need a better machine. Your quilt is beautiful. I love that pink.

[@helenmorgan4003]

Beth I have trouble with my quilt puckering when I use the spray and/or pins. Watching you quilt just not sure what my problem is. The last quilt I'm working on thought I would quilt a fancy stitch on my sashing first and then quilt in the blocks always starting in the middle each time but still had puckering problems and had to unpick a lot in the sashing. Love your binding fabric.

[@bethshibleyquilts]

Machine quilting is tricky. My quilts are rarely perfect… once their done though I’m happy even with the imperfections 😉

[@deborahmeares1048]

I know using the gloves can be a little tricky but I've noticed that if you cut out the pointer finger and the thumb the tip gives you a little more control and if you want to make the gloves fit your hand better turn them inside out and sew them a little bit smaller so that they fit your hands better it makes a big difference

[@suzanne529]

Lovely quilt! Lucky granddaughter! What width did you use for the binding? Thank you.

Yes. Cotton is best

[@mrslincoln5118]

Hi Beth, I’ve been piecing for years but I just started experimenting with machine quilting. I have a question about starts and stops and thread tails. I noticed that as you moved from one setting triangle to the next you snipped your threads. What do you do with the top and bottom thread tail?

[@bethshibleyquilts]

I had thought to mention this topic during the video and forgot! My machine cuts the thread and the tiny ends don't bother me. If you want NO ends showing you will want to pull the bottom thread up BEFORE beginning to sew , making two long strands. When you are done sewing you do the same leaving TWO long strands on the top of the quilt. After quilting you take a needle, thread the two strands into the needle and HIDE the threads by hand. This takes quite a while when you start and stop as often as I did with this quilt. HOpe that helps. A good topic for a future video. 👌

[@ruthchurchwell324]

How many quilts do you get out of a can of spray
