[@vicki1970]

I am a pretty experienced sewer and quilter. For the life of me, I could not figure out how to do this until I saw your video. Thanks so much much!

[@MrOjbates]

You're my absolute favourite sewing instructor. These videos usually stress me out but way you chat throughout, it's so gentle and soothing and makes it seem so manageable, thank you thank you thank you!

[@BAM-jc7uy]

👍thank u for the clear, logical and organized way of approaching curves without rulers/templates...thank you for still having these instructions on youtube. be well. NM

[@tinas977]

Thank you for this!! Making an ocean wave quilt in blues. Really needed this!

[@deehox7167]

I just found the perfect way to put boarders on the quilt I am making. Thank you for getting my creative juices flowing!

[@lumay333]

You have opened a gate to a fairyland of sewing for me, Thank you so much for sharing.

[@BrianCotsenSEO]

Brilliant, I needed advice on how to control really long strips that would run the width of the quilt.This was the best video I found and also it helped me plan how I would use the main fabric and keep all the strips running neatly so that they don't end up on a diagonal as the quilt builds

[@leehulburt6736]

B E S T EVER curvaceous piecing video!!!! I’m making a shore line on a quilt and this was exactly what I needed to figure it out -thank you!!! 🌟🌟🌟

[@NayLouise24]

Here for the exact same reason 😊😊 Making a shoreline quilt.

[@leehulburt6736]

@@NayLouise24 it worked out nicely!

[@xmobile.]

The internet is amazing. I have dreams in my head of curves on the bag i'm currently creating and if i had to figure curves out in my head and in practice, i'd probably have wasted so much time and fabric experimenting. It's so nice to be able to learn from someone with experience and see the full process. And surprisingly you've made it look so incredibly possible and easy. Thank you!!! :D

[@LilyMUTINY]

Lovely tutorial! I am making a quilt to look like a landscape of hills and valleys with a sunset in the background. This is very helpful for such a quilt! Only my second ever, so I am very excited. Blessings!

[@Alicia-jb7jk]

It's a really good idea, now I know what piecing means. I'm going to try this. Thanks very much for sharing. From Sydney Australia.

[@sixrabbits3972]

Thank you so much for making this video! This is pretty much exactly what I needed for a bit of a wild project I had in mind. I've been going in mental circles over thinking how I was going to do it!

[@nancyfarrell6742]

This is very helpful. I wondered how to piece curves. Now I know the secrets! Thanks!

[@sewfun196]

Perfect clarification. Thank you for sharing and HELPING!

[@bossanova5709]

Great Tutorial! I learned a lot from this and got inspired to try some more curved quilting. I've seen several of your videos and enjoy your style. You're so relaxed and natural, it's like we're sitting in the room and you're chatting with us. Keep up the great work!

[@mestoughton]

Susan Clair, thank-you for your marvelous tutorial. Very easy to follow. Love my new baby QUILT.

[@Utes-Trolls]

Thank you ever so much for showing how to sew curves. I could not envision my instructions. LOL Got it and you made it very easy.

[@prosperity.]

Best Video on cutting & sewing curves.. Thank You🙂

[@ShellyAuen]

Very good tutorial. I was afraid of making these until now. Will definitely try this year. Thanks.

[@nimardwe810]

Thank you 🙏 I have been searching for the lesson for the whole day❤

[@dihaupt]

Enjoyed the video, and can finally make sense of joining curves. Thanks!

[@winstonchaychel]

Thank you, you made it seem SO easy!! I'm free cutting fabric to make a landscape type quilt and needed a bit of help, and your video saved me 😉

[@katyc.8663]

I'm considering a quilt block with curves and this is helpful. I completely understand what you mean "by feel." I do that.

[@lynnbackhaus9412]

You've done very right in this! Now I can do this!

[@sandratorres9635]

This is exactly what I needed to insert a grass hill into a landscape quilt. Thank you!

[@SpanishTutor]

This video is GREAT... I want to make an ocean themed quilt and I know how to make the seaweed background that I had in my mind.

[@JustFluffyQuiltingYarnCrafts]

Thank you! I have not tried anything but straight lines. You've given me some inspiration to take that leap to the next level.

[@melissaorona8156]

I learn lots from your videos. Thank you!

[@heatherbott9909]

Very nice video. I tried this the other day before watching and got a result that didn’t lie perfectly flat. You make it look easy! I’m going to try again, following your instructions as exactly as possible. Thank you very much!!🌺

[@joane8651]

Thanks for taking the time to show us this project, you are the expert on curvy wavy water ;)

[@lindadechow3703]

This is a really good idea. I am making a few landscape pieces and will add this method to my techniques. Thank you.

[@notesfromleisa-land]

A reminder as to why gray is my fav non color.. Also glue basting is a great way to be pin free. I used the weekend to do some skill building. I found that glue basting was a pain. Rather I adopted a free form method demonstrated both others and treated the top and bottom as dynamic sustrates and moved them where the needed to be to land under the foot. My Appliquikc tool (with forked in) worked great for getting close to needle and saving my index finger. Thank you for inspiring me to work with this method.

[@mamaduck6845]

Thank you for posting this. I hope to use this to do a country landscape quilt for my dad with various pre-printed farm and landscape scenes.

[@buchmansrus]

Thank you so much. I started one and halfway down I messed it all up. I should of pinned as you did and I'm going to try it again. Thank you. I love your tutorials.

[@emilysheperd7472]

[@anishawoods8443]

[@deborahriding5286]

Thank you for the simple clear example! Wish you would have added one more so was sure how to vary the curves...will try!

[@toniajenny9370]

[@neridasleaman2982]

Great easy method. I watched it and tried it and it works a treat! Thanks! Now off to your website...

[@sandy8908]

This helped so much, I am about to do a new quilt project and I was going to try paper piecing but it wasn't working on the curves. Since the quilt is a picture an is my first picture I really want it to work and this really will make it work. I know exactly how I can use it with the extra large pattern I have made. Quilt size 72x86 , so it is a large project. Thanks so very very much for the video. I wish I could download it. Anyway tks again.

[@sezifun]

Hi, what foot did you use on your machine for this? You seem to be able manoeuvre the fabric easily to create that curvy edge!

Will it work on stretchy fabrics like lycra? It doesnt seem right when i try it.

[@heatherbott9909]

Greetings! When you do this kind of sewing, is your work able to lie fully flat after ironing, or is there a bit of rippling no matter what? Thank you for a great lesson!!
