I want to thank you for encouraging the viewers to take their time. I watch a lot of quilting tutorials and it makes me feel like we should be doing speed quilting. I say relax, enjoy and decrease mistakes. Quilting is my most relaxing activity. I don't rush. Thank you.

[@jc4food]

The cat is precious and makes this already great tutorial even better! Thanks for sharing!

[@sarajones2303]

WOW, I have never seen this type of applique! LOVE it.

[@lynnchilton3289]

I love this quilt. FYI - for an inexpensive way to help with tracing, I cut my freezer paper to 8 1/2 x 11 and put it thru my printer and copied the designs that needed to be traced to get a more exact copy. It worked perfect.

[@zaccarobrown330]

Lynn Chilton how do i get the rest of the blocks

[@karendoliveira3671]

Just got my block one and can't wait to start. Coming from Nanaimo, B.C. I love the instructional video.

[@denisegroom4921]

Just started this project in New Zealand! Finished my first block and love the technique and the look of the quilt. Thanks for the great video tutorials, they really help. :) I'm enjoying every step in making this.

[@rondabergeron4414]

Wow you made this so easy. Thanks so much for sharing. It's really beautiful.

[@SuperBriet]

Excellent tutorial. Very clear and easy to understand the process. Just purchased the pattern and fabric, and was wanting to see how your applique was done, since it was a totally new way to me. Now I wish I had experience in thread painting!!!!! Looking forward to starting the project. Hopefully, all will go well! :-)

[@molaunatimadii1265]

Amazing everything. I am so enjoying. Instructions are great. Thank you.

[@francesarchibald8205]

I just received Blocks 1 and 2 today. Watched your video and can't wait to start. I've been doing hand appliqué so this is a huge departure for me but it looks so interesting.

[@brookerotole3306]

Enjoyed this so much. looking forward to getting my first block done.

[@jessiehaislet3625]

I loved your video (funny subtitles)! Great work. You sure are a patient person.

[@6862211]

Just found your videos!! Love this process! Going to join!!

[@PrairieStitcher66]

I love this applique and I am excited to start my block.

[@kjandtony]

we are starting this block of the month program at Kelly J's in March 2016. I will be leading the program and appreciate your video. I will check for more.

[@nickibair999]

Awww, love cats. Too cute to see that your kitty wants to be involved, lol. I believe though that when a cat/dog sits in the craft room or on a project it's a good omen

[@donnaloehr9614]

This is a fantastic video - it sure has opened up other possibilities for machine applique which is wonderful! I hope there will be more tutorials soon.

[@The4and6designs]

Donna Loehr That was our hope. That people would see that our technique had possibilities beyond this block of the month.

[@cindysneed3038]

Awesome lesson! Thank you. Such a beautiful quilt!!!

[@proudspirit57]

Just started with our LQS and our first block is of course the one you are doing and I am so looking forward to this. It is a beautiful quilt with beautiful fabrics....Coming to you from Chattanoooga TN Sharon

[@kathyvedder1500]

Just got my block after a long wait but well worth it. I have no clue and watched the you tube video and am now very excited. Thank you for the video it makes it so much easier to follow. Kathy

[@The4and6designs]

very nice and different than what I have seen before, I love it!

[@sharonpollock401]

This is a very well done video. I just got my first three blocks at Olde Quilt Shop in Burlington, NJ (so sad to have missed your class there) and now I don't want to finish the projects I have I just want to jump on this one!

[@nalinikasat7291]

It looks so beautiful!

[@lizryan6289]

The work here is beautiful.

[@danarobbins2424]

I'm excited about the applique method. I will use blues for the background as that is what my granddaughter wants for her room.

[@The4and6designs]

+Dana Robbins What a great idea. Please send us a photo.

[@debbimichels1517]

I can't wait to get my fabric washed and ironed so I can get stated on this quilt!

[@dianawright8334]

yay you guys! luv this technique

[@phyllislong1791]

when placing the large flower of block 1 on the green background fabric did you place it 1/4 inch from the edge of the green fabric? That is what it looks like on the video. Please reply.

[@laurajochems6338]

Great Video, Crazy Redhead Quilting in Newton, IA is doing this as a BOM soon.

[@therapypoodle]

Wonderful video. Instructions are so clear and complete. Lighting and sound are excellent. Very exciting and inspiring. Can't wait for your fabric line to be available. And Mary, your hands are lovely and pleasant to watch create this block.

[@The4and6designs]

therapypoodle Thank you for your kind comments. It means a lot that you think our hard work pays off.

[@maggiemccormick6805]

+Fourth & Sixth Designs I received th is entire pattern, fabric and thread for Christmas . I am now reviewing all of the utube films before I actually start cutting, your tutorial is excellent, very logical and helpful. I will be making this quilt at my own speed as I don't have to wait for anything. please put me on your list to be followed by you. again the tutorial is excellent. thanks. magdalena McCormick .

[@ccasto28]

I received my Block 1 today! I can't wait to get started. Are you all washing your fabric first? I can never decide!

[@vickikirkpatrick1320]

I finished Block 1 and am happy with the results. This is a new technique for me. After reviewing the videos, I have a question about whether to define the petal shapes with the applique stitches at the same time as appliqueing the block to the background? I am using a domestic machine, not a long-arm.

[@christinesalopek916]

Just finished watching the you tube video, very informative. Are you going to be coming out with a you tube video on The Orchard. I have the entire quilt kit and would like to get started.

[@kathyallred4764]

Kathy Allred 1/1 16Just getting started.. I enjoyed the first video..

[@annaisassi1686]

Could u think if i could do fold under allowing 1/4”. I’m in love with this pattern. U r awesomeness!!!

[@katemorgan4346]

This is the best teaching video I had ever seen. Thank you! I have one question. Could I use freezer paper instead of the stabilizer for the larger backing piece? I have a lot of freezer paper and would prefer to use it up if possible. Thanks.

[@doracamarena3588]

Love ur flower tutorial. Love flowers.!!! Good job. Where can I get that pattern.???

[@ingfig1]

This is a wonderful and exciting tutorial! Could you tell me please what needle you use ...?

[@francesarchibald8205]

I have completed Block 1 but want to know if you take off the totally stable now or wait until it's time to put the quilt together. Can't wait to start block #2. This is really a fun technique to use.

[@kathyallred4764]

When we put the single and bottom on the 81/2 square do we pick any color.This is block 1

[@elizabethfritzinger8537]

I just got my 1st. block and this looks like so much fun. The fabric is so colorful and bright. It will be a little while for me to start it. Will your videos be kept on line?

[@theresajukiewicz3092]

Beautiful!

[@naseemahamad8857]

[@toniawoodside6804]

Just staring block #1 so very excited to begin ; you are very thorough for which I am very thankful Will we use the total larger spool of each color with this quilt ? I purchased smaller and probably need to rethink this 🤔

[@shirlmunck2937]

I love this thank you so much

[@shirlmunck2937]

Do you recommend a particular needle for free motion edge coloring?

[@nonniepalmer8676]

My interest was in the stitching information as I have several applique in progress and wanted to try their technique on the project.

[@sarahays3288]

I have waited until I have all the blocks and just started yesterday. Where can I find the videos fit the rest of the blocks ?

[@zerlenewoodward282]

Nice Work!

[@aprilwaller123]

SO the stabilizer was put on the right side of the fabric?

[@nancywelch9402]

where can I get this glue?

[@Thedragonflypeople7220]

Lovely thank you!

[@sylviagould1624]

[@vanildamaximo5423]

Adorei seu projeto maravilhoso Se não fosse o idioma dava para aprender

[@lory6605]

Where can you buy transparent freezer paper?

[@Daledenison]

How do these quilts wash up. All my quilts are used as bed or lap quilts and will be washed. I want to know if these patterns are good for this use.

[@petmomful2260]

Wow, this is a cool technique; I really like it! Your explanation is so thorough, also.

[@abiolab5143]

I really enjoyed the video its the first time I saw quilting like this what is the name of the glue

[@debracupples1441]

Thank you!

[@shirlmunck2937]

Can you till me is the stabilzer a tear away or does it stay on the back sorry for being so dumb

[@annaisassi1686]

Can I order these materials from u still. Like a kit Mayb with patterns?

[@avonnorma]

Can you use zig zag?

[@sheilaallen2146]

How do I get the pattern?

[@lilykildosher2174]

I have all of the blocks, but have not started the putting it together. Please don't delete the KZbin tutorial. I will view the KZbin step by step. Thank you.

[@IsratJahan-fg1zn]

Thans,

[@gowenquilt3209]

Could you use glue stick instead?

[@lorraineglade3644]

When do you take off the totally stable on the back, or is it left on.

[@susyfrederick4157]

she leaves it on was the impression i get from her explaination

[@beckybreyen7573]

you gently remove it. Read about it in the article I found : auribuzz.com/2020/09/01/technique-tuesday-edge-coloring-applique/

[@debbiemiethig5338]

@@beckybreyen7573 Thank you for finding this important piece. It is not easy removing that stabilizer!

[@EuphemiaGrubb]

This is a beautiful block/quilt. However I'm not sure l understand why you would not use fusible web. lt seems to me that using the freezer paper as a temporary measure to facilitate the glueing of the edges is a bit redundant and more work for the same end result. Or am l missing something? (Sorry if that sounds cheeky, but it's a genuine question.)

[@EuphemiaGrubb]

+EuphemiaGrubb Yeh, Please disregard above. I'm very guilty of not listening to tutorials right to the END. Duh!!! Thank you for great vid.

[@joannenardoni17]

The stitching is a feathering.

[@francoisethepot9414]

what i don't understand is why you need to embrodery on applique why not trace with crayon your flower and do free motion inside no need for tracing paper or freezer paper

[@robinrose3475]

I just received Block 1 and watched your video. I have a question regarding the smaller pieces on the flower. Are those pieces thread painted also (like the edge of the flower) or did you wait until you sandwiched the entire quilt to quilt those sections?
