[@lauriegerse7993]

Hi Zach. Great tutorial. Having been a longarm quilter for 21 years I suggest talking about all the bias,edges in a French braid quilt and be very careful about stretching the edges. Ruffled edges are almost impossible to quilt without making pleats. Measure the braid and cut the sashing the same length and ease any fullness into the seam.

[@SewYeah]

These are great tips for this quilt, we'll definitely try to mention that next time!

[@quiltingvoyeur]

Thank you, I watched a lot of braid quilt directions and yours was by far the best. The directions were clear, concise, and very easy to follow!

[@SewYeah]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jannawhitten2473]

I have watched your video three times! I will probably watch it again when I’m ready to make this quilt.

[@SewYeah]

Great tutorial Zach, very clear and concise, it definitely looks easier than I thought! I love watching your tutorials as you are a lefty and I’m one too and it looks normal to me watching you cut the fabric! Looking forward to the video and thanks for all you and your family do for the community! ❤❤❤

Thanks, Zach!! I found Christmas prints in my stash that have gold in the pattern. I think they would be neat in this pattern.

[@SewYeah]

Hmm that's a great idea!!

[@BEVERLYRANDOLPH-lx4qu]

You’ve made this look really easy and I think the technique will look great on the medallion quilt I’m planning. Thanks for these clear instructions!

[@sharonmacintyrebarrett8572]

I love this quilt and I have been planning on making it for sometime now, Just waiting for my 2.5 strips to come in.

[@SewYeah]

Awesome!!

[@beverlyadams1940]

I like this method rather than using a template, as you need to make right and left sides. I make alot of patriotic vet quilts and I have so much scraps. As long as I cut fabric strips 2/12” this would work for a scrappy quilt. What do you think?

[@SewYeah]

[@arlisarohloff2622]

Yay! We're so glad you loved the tutorial and the quilt pattern. We love it too! Happy quilting! 🥰 🤩

We love it too! We have some great irons for sale on our website, www.sewyeahquilting.com. We hope we can help you get the perfect one!!🙌❤️

[@kathleenmayhorne3183]

I got a binding ruler, with a 45°at one end. I cut my braid pieces with the 45 on one end, with the strips still folded, to get left and riht facing pieces, stacked them separately, canged the top one. I started with a partial seam and no square. Al the sides were straignt from the 45 angle. When I got to the end, I cut the top straight, and added the off-cuts to the beginning. No waste? I think so.

[@SewYeah]

😍😍So sorry I am just catching this .I am trying to catch up on the comments. Hope to do better in the future. Thanks for watching our lives. We appreciate it !!!!!!

[@1228Rhonda]

Love the quilt looking forward to getting the pattern. My favorite color combo and the colors in my house. If you need somewhere to donate Zach I can help you out.

[@velosianna708]

Love this! How are you estimating your backing fabric size, please? Your written pattern calls for 4 7/8 yars, however this is the calculation that i came up with: 53+79+12 (not long arm) = 144". Dive by 36= 4 yards. Could you please clarify?

[@SewYeah]

For all questions about our live sales, please text our KZbin team at 702-280-4552 and we are happy to help.

[@velosianna708]

​@@SewYeahI did not ask a question about your live sales. I asked for clarification on one of your patterns.

[@liselang2676]

Good morning, I watched the tutorial on the french braid pattern. I like the looks of this and so, i started mine a few days ago. I did one strip and found fabric wastage on the top where i square off. I started my second strip and i am now calling it "Rapunzel's French Braid" only because I'm just continuing until I run out of my fabric choices cuts that i made. Then it will be one trim on the bottom and one trim at the top and anything else in between will be trimmed to lenght of my choice. I don't know why but i tend to make big quilts for queen or king size beds. So in conclusion, mine is a "Rapunzel's Braid" I hope this helps other quilters out there.

[@SewYeah]

Some really good ideas here, thanks so much for sharing with everyone!

[@karawitcher1326]

What is the difference from your braid as opposed to the chevron table runner? Your colors are striking that you used. Thanks for this.

[@SewYeah]

Hello! They are very similar. The Chevron quilt usually comes into a "V" at the end whereas the French Braid "overlaps." That's the main difference. Happy quilting!

[@lynnethomson9622]

Hi Zach to make the braids line up to match and make a zig zag effect do i cut my 61/2inch strips wrong sides together

[@terrieberly8109]

Love the videos you guys do....easy for this newbie to follow. Just one question: what is the size of the quilt? Tutorials and patterns don't always tell you.

[@SewYeah]

Hello! This quilt is approximately a twin size quilt, but you can adjust the pattern to suit your needs. Thanks so much for watching!

[@renieporter]

Thanks Zack for the easy to follow video. My first braid came out great but the cut size will be 7.5" instead of 6.5. Hesitant to keep going until I figure out where the extra inch came from! Any ideas?

[@SewYeah]

Probably just got a little off on several places. And then it adds up. Takes a lot of practice I guess!!!

[@terrycaporale4923]

Hi, Zach Great tutorial. Thank you. Can I ask what foot you’re using on your Juki? I’m a new Juki user and looking for an accurate 1/4” foot. Thank you

[@SewYeah]

Hello! We love the Juki machines for their accuracy. Please email us at [e-mail] and our machine specialists would be happy to help!

[@theresasmith5013]

I’d love to know the name of the jelly roll of the quilt hanging on the wall! Love the patterns and color!

[@SewYeah]

Thanks for watching!

[@patriciaguevara8793]

Nice pattern Zach! Can I ask how many 6-1/2” pieces did you use for each length/column? I’m thinking I want mine “scrappy”

[@SewYeah]

A lot! It was around 40 for each braid, 4 or 5 braids total depending on what you prefer!

[@patriciaguevara8793]

@@SewYeah thank you!

[@LisaLisa-zl9vu]

If I want the columns longer could I use 8 jelly roll strips per columns?

[@SewYeah]

👍🫶💕💕💕Thank you for watching!

[@loribeaupre3694]

How many jelly rolls does it take or does it depend on the size of the quilt?

[@SewYeah]

Thanks for watching!

[@baseballquilter8984]

Very nice pattern. I think I will have to watch this a million times. That braid part really confused me🤪. I think trimming it up and adding the sashing was the easiest part for me.

[@SewYeah]

It's not bad at all when you get into it. You got this!! Happy quilting!

[@helenehart5491]

How big is the square

[@SewYeah]

🤔☺️

[@BarbGibb]

should have shown at least the first 3 rows, going a bit to fast for teaching

[@SewYeah]

Sorry will have to try to slow down
