Braided Twist Full Tutorial

[@ARKENCIEL1]

Great video ! Thanks to made it from the beginning to the end ! I did it and finished it yesterday evening and for sure it is easier with the video than the booklet for me. The result is great ! I am very happy to have done it. Amicalement, Marylène from Paris :)

[@ruthiecollins3209]

I had so much fun doing this tablerunner! You instructions were perfection! Starting a reversible tomorrow! Thanks so very much, Ms. Phillips!

[@debbiereed3209]

Thanks for a very good tutorial! I watched it on another site and was so totally confused. I followed along with your book and this tutorial and am confident I can do this!!!!

[@PhillipsFiberArt]

Wonderful! I'm so glad it helped!!

[@joycegadsby933]

The braided book has just arrived ,can not wait to start doing the fabulous runners

[@CameliaRadoi]

I received yesterday the package with the ruler and the book. With the tool and following the directions from the book and from this amazing tutorial, I already finished not one, but two table runners. It's addictive... I look forward for an extended pattern for quilts. Thank you very much! Cheryl, you're a veeeery good teacher!

[@bbjeschke]

I'm so glad you love it!! I'll send your comment to my mom! It will make her day!! We are working on the lines of extending. Make sure you're signed up for our email newsletter on phillipsfiberart.com for the most up to date info! ~ brooke

[@CameliaRadoi]

I've signed up for newsletter from Philipsfiberart.com. I give both of my new table runners to my friends. They love it. Thanks a lot. I make Christmas present with no costs... 🤗

[@jogrepar1]

I was so excited to to receive the braided twist table runner. When I got it I was ecstatic then quickly realising it was not your instruction booklet. I then found your channel and was so sad to hear I had fallen foul of the Facebook scam **it wasn't your fabulous product** I had been Had Then I researched your tutorial and saw that I am not alone and you are aware of these scammers but I am even sadder to see that you don't post outside of the USA. So deflated HOWEVER your tutorial is so well recorded and wish I could buy from you.

[@PhillipsFiberArt]

I'm so sorry!! You are welcome to contact us on the website. Maybe we can work out a international mail. Our issue has been with our website more than the post itself. So I'm willing to try my best to help you! Sad world when the fraudulent scams are taking advantage of all of us!

[@angeculler]

Thank you so much for taking the time to film such a thorough tutorial. I bought the set at a quilt store two years ago, but have been a bit intimidated to try it. Can't wait to start making these

[@bettygertner1957]

😊

[@marytjersland4204]

I just completed my first runner and it came out perfect. I did watch the video as I was unsure of edge stitching on step 4. The video was great to see how to stitch the edges. It wasn't was complicated as it looks- great pattern and video!!

[@PhillipsFiberArt]

Thank you so much for your comment. I'm so glad it worked out for you!

[@susanouellette2700]

Hi Cheryl, I just received my braided twist template today, just finished watching your tutorial on it, very informative tutorial, I can't wait to try this, thank you,

[@junemagyar9170]

Thank you for sharing your creations. A great tutorial and easy to follow

[@PhillipsFiberArt]

Glad you like them!

[@kathleenhoward7191]

With the book, this is great. Thank you so much!

[@darleenhunter6718]

Great demo so informative I received my template and booklet a few days ago The instructions are brilliant but it helps to see you making the item. Xx

[@PhillipsFiberArt]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for letting us know you're happy. Makes us happy too.

[@patriciahite8562]

Great instructions. Thank you.

[@PhillipsFiberArt]

Glad it was helpful! Hope you enjoy making your Braided Twist!

[@xo2quilt]

Thank you for the video, it really helps!! I just finished my table runner!!

[@yvonnejh-gottamakestuff]

Thank you, Cheryl, for this in-depth how-to video!

[@nellgoodwin2669]

Love this video, I have made it 3 times now so easy following your instructions. Thank You, Nell Nth Queensland.

[@susanfarwell1164]

Hi Cheryl Thank you for a great design! I don’t remember sending you a message before but I just wanted to let you know that I am making some runners with your pattern and they are beautiful. They will make great gifts . Thanks again!!

[@sandraberkman592]

I love this tutorial. You have made it simple to understand and follow. Thank you.

[@france4140]

Mind blowing tool and technique! Making this twist is a lot of fun. I want to make a reversible twist, the instructions show only using two fabrics. Could I use 3 different fabrics? Thanks!

[@PhillipsFiberArt]

Send us an email, I can direct you to the right information. [e-mail] Sorry for the delay. I'm horrible about youtube comments. I keep forgetting they are here. oops!

[@eigget]

Hi Cheryl fab demo, I have just purchase the braided twist tool and I was wondering whether this pattern could be extended to be completed into a quilt, or am I being to ambition. please could you advise as I have itchy fingers. thankyou

[@PhillipsFiberArt]

Sorry for the delay in responding. But we are working on developing a quilt :) exciting stuff here!!

[@loralechsaenz8600]

Love the runner, great video. As a left-handed person, I had to do the proverbial upside-down and backwards cutting. Actually, I did have to change the cutting instructions, for example, the fleece - I had to have the fold on the bottom and adjust the ruler accordingly. Directions are the same. My brain has to translate them into left-hand, lol. Still, fabulous tool and fun craft!

[@PhillipsFiberArt]

You're amazing for figuring these things out!

[@carollittle7806]

Cheryl - I'm working on making my first table runner today, 16 Sep 2024. I'm trying to follow the instructions in the book and your video. On the bottom of page 6, it says to cut half circles from all the remaining A, B, and K rectangles and it shows putting the tool on the wrong side of the rectangle pieces. Your video shows you cutting one rectangle and you say cut on right side of the fabric. You then go onto talking about the fleece. Should I cut out the four A, two B, and eight K half circles with the tool on the right side of the fabric or the wrong side of the fabric? Thanks for your help. Carol

[@PhillipsFiberArt]

Oh i'm so sorry i missed this. Did you by chance try our contact us form? It's the best way to get a hold of us in a timely manner. Feel free to use it any time!

[@harrietsimons6232]

I've made a couple of the original Braided Twist (Thank you for the detailed written instructions and great videos), and I'm just starting the reversible one. My mind is wanting take mug rugs with my extra fabric, but I can't get the measurements. Is there any chance of a companion template or any way to use the regular Twist template?

[@PhillipsFiberArt]

Without giving anything away... It just might be in the works! :)

[@Shortstitcher]

Cheryl, do you happen to have a video that shows how to put together the Basic Variation: 3 fabrics A•1 A•2 B K and fleece? I’m trying to understand how to incorporate the 3rd one and I am confused lol. I’m trying to make one longer than the 5 shown.

[@PhillipsFiberArt]

Does this one help? Link to download is in the description of this video as well kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXvNfHqhZa6Xl8ksi=1cs9MAUK4cnXk1NL

[@beckyezra1]

Thank you, very impressive. bless.

[@debraallen4854]

Thanks Cheryl for an awesome teaching video. Haven't started my project yet, waiting on Amazon to deliver my fusible fleece, but wondered how to get to "rest of the story". I'd like to download the info about fleece brands and cutting diagrams.Thanks again, great video!

[@carolshon9393]

I just love the tutorial! I have my fabric already cut out. You mentioned about a built in walking foot. I do have a walking foot that I have to attach to my machine. Do you suggest I use it?

[@PhillipsFiberArt]

If you have problems stitching the layers with the fusible fleece, then yes use it. Every machine brand is different. I too have another walking foot that I can attach, but I haven't found it necessary with that machine. I hope this helps!

[@carolshon9393]

I was trying to find the video that shows how to do top stitching. Could you send me the link

[@lorijacobs7341]

Thank you for this video.

[@PhillipsFiberArt]

[@barbaraschiavone4549]

I purchased the tool off of a facebook page and it did not come with a book. So, I watched tutorial on You Tube. I have noticed that my tool is 15" wide at the base and the one you used in your video 14" wide. It took me an hour to figure out why things weren't matching. Such as the fleece didn't match up on the tool. The video is great but the tool needs to be replaced. How do I order a new tool the correct size?

[@PhillipsFiberArt]

I’m so sorry but you’ve ordered from a counterfeit company!! There are numerous fraudulent Facebook “companies” selling counterfeit acrylic tools. So what you have is just a phony piece of plastic. They used photos of my hands, my table runners, my ideas--everything is stolen! I’m sincerely sorry you were taken advantage of. We’ve done everything we can think of to make Facebook remove these fraudulent ads but to no avail. I suggest you try to get your money back from your credit card company or PayPal. Some people have told me they have gotten refunds. You might think it looks genuine, but here are the big indicators to see if it is ours. Is there a copyright logo next to 2018? Is the plastic 1/8” clear acrylic with an exact 1/4” line? Was it packaged with a backer, book, and inserts? We work hard to create the best product we can but when someone steals it, there is nothing we can do to make it quite right. The tools they offer are not precise. The fact they took our tool (which is only offered in one size) and made it in 3 sizes but did not do the math involved to make them accurate, makes these tools useless. The original Braided Twist book and tool combination is the only one made by Phillips Fiber Art and only sold in a set. The book is not available to purchase alone.

[@jogrepar1]

Me too

[@sherryseitz1889]

Love the fabric you used. What is the fabric name.

[@PhillipsFiberArt]

I love this fabric!! It's from Bluprint (formerly Craftsy). It's called Boundless Blenders Botanical Fabric. Right now it's only $10 a yard and less if you're a member. I love their fabric!

[@sandraberkman592]

Do you have to snip the quarter inch seam so that it will lie flat?

[@PhillipsFiberArt]

The seam itself is not clipped just right up to it. See page 3 for instructions on that.

[@evaseger8094]

Which direction do the hidden seams go? Thank you.

[@PhillipsFiberArt]

they should lie flat down the center (not bending in any way), that clip allows them to slip together. email me for more info! [e-mail]

[@hollymattice8733]

i bought a ruler but never received the instructions, is there anywhere i could get a copy of instructions only

Hi Holly, Sadly you purchased a fraudulent tool. Please email me for more information. [e-mail]

[@adamhelsley457]

Finished mine this week, both the book & video were very helpful. Where did u get the purple & blue fabric on the cover of the book?

[@PhillipsFiberArt]

That was a beautiful line of fabric from Bluprint. Unfortunately they went out of business.

[@PhillipsFiberArt]

We are unable to ship international but you can check your local shops. If they don't have it see if they can purchase through their distributors. Sorry my friend!

[@bonniewillette166]

I made the mistake of buying this through Facebook; it came with NO instructions to speak of. I immediately went to the Google genie and ordered the book and tool from Phillips Fiber Art and quickly received my prize. Now, the problem: I purchased my material on an emotional whim. It is a one-way pattern. Are there special instructions for cutting one-way material? Can I use this fabric or should I choose a fabric better suited for this project?

[@bonniewillette166]

I found the answer on your web site. Thank you for the tutorial! Great job.

[@PhillipsFiberArt]

Oh i'm so glad! So sorry i just saw this! we're really working on some great tutorials for just this coming soon!

[@harrietsimons231]

Is there a video about sewing the last step instead of using the fusible tape?

[@PhillipsFiberArt]

Great suggestion! I need to do one. But since I don't yet have that done, I know you can just top stitch the edge with great results. You'll do that for the entire edge, not just where they overlap. If you want it to be invisible, you can hand stitch it.

[@dianab9267]

Great explanation of the pattern! I made this table runner last week and love it, wish i would have had this to follow :-)

[@mariakavka7555]

I love this, how do I get the templates and instructions, I am in Canada?

Do you advise to clip the curved seams. I am working on my first table runner and I can’t wait to see the results. I’m having fun sewing this project!

[@PhillipsFiberArt]

I've had this pattern and template for about 3 years and I'm just now seeing your video. Duuh... should of looked along time ago. The pattern n template got buried, out of sight out of mind. KZbin suggestion on my search for a spiral quilt.. Thanks YT

[@PhillipsFiberArt]

I'm so glad to hear that! Hope you have a great time!!

[@bevhonsberger8590]

I checked all the comments, looking to see if anyone had the problem I did…I don’t see any… I found I had to stop and back up through many instructions as I found you spoke quickly. At the part where you joined the pieces, I did not see that you placed the second end cap in any special way… when I completed my runner, my last endcap is wrong. I am an experienced sewer/quilter so this surprised me.

[@PhillipsFiberArt]

If you're still struggling, use our contact form on the website. We are happy to help. My thoughts at the moment, you should be able to follow the sing song method of up,down,up,down all the way to the end, including the end cap. See the video at 29:00 to see that part. As shown the first endcap is up, and the last is down. Hope this helps. Sorry for the delay in the reply.

Cheryl, I purchased the complete set of templates, all 3 sizes. I received no instructions, no book, and no video.

[@PhillipsFiberArt]

Oh Susan! I feel so badly for you. You purchased a phony counterfeit product. These companies on Facebook are terrible! They've outright STOLEN our concept--our intellectual property. They have stolen photos of our samples and our video clips without our approval. Then the product that I've seen is so substandard. Check the 1/4" lines along the edge of the tools. They don't appear to be accurate. They removed our copyright and often my name too. Can you see if you can return them or get a refund through your credit card? Then contact us through our web site.

Have you released the video on stitching the braided twist in place instead of using Pellon strips?

[@rhondababbert4221]

When I cut my endcap (in middle of page 6) I did not line the tool edges up with the material edges. I lined up the line with the material edges. therefore I think my piece is 1/4 inches shorter. I wonder if I should cut everything else a 1/4 inch shorter??? and continue??

I thought that fusible tape washes away. What happens when you wash the runner?

Select a brand that is permanent. Wonder Web by Pellon is permanent as is Steam a Seam II. The key is getting a good bond. It takes time and steam, but the result is GREAT!
