Dresden Quilt Blocks: Tips and Tricks

[@eileenwhiston1949]

How easy you explain everything. No going on and on one the same thing. I'm definitely going to get your book. Thank you.

[@boblarkin1003]

Your tip to use the card stock with 45 degree line to get those tips perfectly straight is just what I was hoping to discover. Thanks for sharing.

OMG OMG a your bannister rail idea for a sewing ham is brilliant! THANK YOU! I even have a piece I cut from the end of a wooden closet dowel rod that will work perfect. I always iron all seams open any quilt I make. So this will help so so much. ❤️

[@Bamagirllp]

Wow! Thank you so much! The fusible idea never crossed my mind.

[@pattyward8898]

Great idea on the homemade seam ripper idea!

[@emilyrue1668]

Great tutorial. Wonderful tips, you’re easy to understand and you win at a little bit slower pace for us older quilters. Thank you

I love you! Thanks. Didn't we do things this way back in the seventies? I feel so much smarter and artistic when I work w/o a lot of devices. Don't go anywhere !🤗🙋

[@faneradoyce7890]

Loved your little iron. Please can you say about the brand.

[@CandyceC54]

The pressing ham I use when I press seams open is one I make and sell through my Etsy site, icandyfiberart

[@judieahmed98]

Great tips!

[@MarilynG1000]

This is so interesting! I have tried and failed to do this quilt block before, this may have inspired me to have another go.

[@CandyceC54]

Hope so

[@susanmcmath6479]

Thank you the tips!

[@madhavidharankar]

Thank u so much for this video. Am planning to work on a block made from dresden. This video will be useful. Cud u pl make video on those home-made tools. I liked them, but did not understand properly.

[@CandyceC54]

That's a great idea. Thanks for the suggestion. Keep tuned. You can also take a look at Creative Spark - at creativespark.ctpub.com for the full Dresden Reimagined class online. Candy

[@lesleygilbert1945]

Thank you 🥰

[@darleneappleman3911]

I have a singer 5400 sewing machine it works great

[@traceyosterlind14]

Brilliant! Slapping my forehead, wondering why I didn't think of that 🤔

[@Marla.22]

what is the 18 degree dresden? I have a dresden ruler but is 8" tall, will that work? I would like to know the diff in them

[@patriciaberne613]

Could you please explain in a little more detail how to use the freezer paper and the center. I wasn’t sure what you meant by the fabric being pulled in around the freezer paper. Thanks.

[@CandTPublishing]

Hi Patricia - have you ever made yo-yos before? It's kind of the same principle but you don't pull it so tight that it gathers. You'll run a basting stitch in your seam allowance and then pull the stitch to tighten around the freezer paper to make your circle. I hope this makes sense!

i makeing a dresden and for the first time its not laying totally flat, i am sad. it i a hudge beautiful one, nearly 3 FT in diamator, help please

[@CandyceC54]

We can fix that. Press the seams open first. Lay it out and decide which seam is standing up a bit. Go back and take that seam in just a little bit. Keep going u til it lies flat. Also make sure you have the right number of wedges. Let me know if it works.

[@rhodaetheridge3637]

Good

[@pattyward8898]

Some great homemade ideas! And I’ve paid for some of these things!😡

[@grandmalovesmebest]

Think about it. Back in the school days our teachers taught us how to do everything w/o expensive tools. Thought about that when watching a vid about how to cut a strip of fabric into rhombus pieces. Just need your ruler or mat w a 60 degree angle. Saved $30 that day! Maybe we should check out our old folks textbooks?😀🙋

[@jenifferfoster4312]

Or talk to & ask the older generations. I'm sure they'd love the company and conversation and we'll love the wealth of knowledge they give us....Just and idea..lol
