If you're planning to make any stockings let us know in the comments what fabric collection you plan on using or if you plan on using scraps

[@amandamarie2316]

I used the Barbie and hot wheels jelly rolls

[@SewFun]

Pretty much a quilt game changer for me when you said "Twist your left wrist clockwise." I've been quilting for years and I STILL struggle occasionally with the binding. This will make it so easy now!

[@juliaofhamburg]

Exactly my thoughts, Teresa! Almost every time I join my binding it is wrong. Mostly I have to do it 2 or 3 times. But now! I'll turn my left wrist clockwise. 🥳 And the stockings are fun too, aren't they?! 😜

[@godsspecialchild86]

Glad I"m not the only one! I always have to watch a tutorial on how to do it, because I always mess up, one way or another!

[@the.pokey.little.pineapple4546]

I love binding by hand.

[@MarciaBaker1205]

I've been quilting over 20 years and until I watched Kimberly show how to do this I always had to un-sew & re-sew the join. She's the best!

[@bgturman]

So true! Exactly what I thought when she said that!! I always sew it the wrong way!

[@jeanmclellan1823]

Whoever coordinates KJs wardrobe, nail color, and the material for the projects does a great job! The sewing notions generally coordinate well too!

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Kimberly coordinates all those things herself 🙂

[@meaghanlarsen1618]

It’s a good thing I had extra fabric I didn’t give up and I kept watching you do the binding over and over and over again finally understood what you were doing with one hand so that the binding needs to be perpendicular to each other only one hand moves one stay still it’s OK live in learn

[@Pheebs77]

Top tip, buy a wallpaper seam roller. Does the same job and costs way less 😁😁👍

[@catherineschaefer3735]

Thank you Kimberly, 'twist your left wrist' is an absolute genius tip - have been quilting a long time and usually need to think it through several times to be sure.

[@MarciaBaker1205]

Kimberly that is super cute! You look beautiful in your red blouse, very festive. Y'all are putting me in the holiday spirit. Lilly and Ashley are doing a wonderful job with the set & video. Thanks for everything the FQS team does for your customers.

[@the.pokey.little.pineapple4546]

This project is so wonderful and easy to manage a HOARD of family members, or sew for gift bags, e.g. wine bottles, or stuff for nieces and nephews stuffed with gift cards, treats, and little novelties! I'll be using scraps and make my own 2.5 in strips. Thank you FQS!

[@pinhooksuzy]

Thank you so much for showing how you join your binding!! I have never seen this particular way and it is a game changer. It makes binding much easier!!

[@hildejohnson8780]

I would love to make stockings for five people but I can't afford to get the stuff right now so I'll do is what I've got right now cuz I love to cross stitch I love to quote the greatest thing to keep me busy right now with everything that's happening so keep doing what you're doing stay safe be careful out there and God bless and I love everything that you show 💖💖😇😇😇😇😇

[@judithmurphy419]

Kimberly, I spend tons of money with FQS, but somehow I don't care....I 💗 you FQS...and sewing... 🧵 its a Jolly Joy

[@maryannkohlmeier1089]

Great and easy demonstration to follow. Thank you!

[@susanolson184]

Kimberley, you are a treasure. You make so many wonderful videos, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@angelastoutenger7944]

Great quilt as you go project. It's fun to sew quilt as you go. Will have to remember Kimberly's tip about not pressing as you add each strip. I never had heard that it distorted the batting. Would be nice if this stocking kit was included in the Jolly Box. Maybe?

[@momgrandma5496]

‘The stockings were hung by the chimney with care in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.’ 🧦 🎅🏻 Thanks Kimberly.

[@SabrinaF-wl4ws]

This was so helpful! Thank you!!

[@susannapastorik5547]

Great tutorials. Love this one and have all my tools and fabric to start my stockings. Starched my fabrics tonight...ready tomorrow.

[@kathyaschenbach8081]

Love the stockings!!

[@kathleenogrady7546]

This is such a great, quick quilting project to make, with so many possibilities too. I don't have a Christmas Jelly Roll so will be using fabric from my stash. Thanks FQS for another fun tutorial!

[@meaghanlarsen1618]

I watched this today and need to make all new stocking for my family of 5 so I went right over to the website and got the quilt as you go and Christmas Figs II MODA jelly rolls. So excited

[@annelefevre9457]

Great tutorial. These will be so fun to make.

[@PeleLua1]

What a great idea! I love when you come up with ‘’mini’ projects!

[@C12133]

Love this so much!!! Kimberly, I love your blouse!!! Thanks so much!!

[@karenstuhlfeier4213]

I was just looking at my fabric the other day wondering why I had so many unused Christmas Jelly Rolls. This will be a perfect project. I'm going to use 3 Sisters Sentiments.

[@BrendaH289]

They are adorable

[@vitafo7405]

Great tip for joining the binding. I am always in doubt on how to twist the ends. Thank you!!

[@kirstennakken4368]

Supercute stockings! :-) Thank you!

[@janadachingwa9234]

They are great Christmas stockings. Stay safe and walk in peace. Janada

[@silviathomas3224]

I made one today from a jelly roll from Spotlight in Australia. the only thing was I sliced my finger with the rotary cutter just before I finished! So apart from my finger being glued at the hospital I used fabric glue to put on the ribbon at the top .It looks good though (the stocking not my finger! Haha).

[@DianaRose344]

I've been making stockings similar to this for years (without the special batting-just use regular batting). My only tweak is I insert about 3" or so of aida fabric on the top of one side, and I cross stitch the name on the aida. (cross stitch the name first then cut to fit the pattern top). Then assemble. I also do not necessarily use Christmas fabric but maybe golf themed fabric for a golfer, and pieces of used denim in different shades for my nephew who is a rancher.

[@MarciaBaker1205]

That's an awesome idea!

[@janbracha6409]

I was thinking of doing that as well. I just can’t figure out how to make it so the name is horizontal rather than on a diagonal.

[@dahort9496]

Thanks for consistently commenting on the stitch length

[@melissagay1240]

I love this stocking quilt-as-you-go project! My question/thought is what if you made the binding/top piece larger so you could put a name on it if you think it's a possibility how do you think we could do it?? Any thoughts/ideas/tips would be appreciated! Thanks so much!

[@mischad4838]

Could you embroider name on one of the strips?

[@MarciaBaker1205]

If you read some of the comments, I can't remember which one, someone explained how she cross stitches the names. I am sure you can embroider a name, too.

[@MarciaBaker1205]

I'm sure you can embroider a name before you stitched it on beforehand. I would probably mark it beforehand to make sure it's in the right place. Another person said she does cross stitch on it.

[@janiceherman9251]

I don’t cross-stitch but would also like to include a strip on top with an embroidered name. Just wondering if this would wreck the look of the diagonal strips. Also not sure how to go about it. If someone does this can they please send a picture.

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Melissa! Sherri McConnell made a stocking for us that has a top cuff, you can see her insert it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXuwcqOgn7B_pKs

[@gildacrespo4424]

Gracias x el tutorial, excelente

[@stephanniemetz3610]

Sew fun!

[@kaylac3367]

I purchased 3 stocking knits. I think I'm going to use a jelly roll by Robert Kaufman "Holiday Colorstory". Or I may use "Morris Holiday Metallic".

[@crochetladybug]

Thank you for the tutorial. What size needle did you use for the stocking? Thank you for your help.

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Riese! Kimberly used a Schmetz Universal Size 80/12 Machine Needles 5 count: www.fatquartershop.com/schmetz-size-80-12-universal-machine-needles-5-ct

[@judiowens8226]

Awesome

[@meaghanlarsen1618]

My first binding went horribly wrong. I guess I can’t see your magic hand move very well. Mine came out way to short

[@meaghanlarsen1618]

Do you spray starch the strips wet like you showed in your other starching video?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Meaghan! Yes, she does because it gives her more accurate cuts.

[@meaghanlarsen1618]

@@FatQuarterShopTX thank you for responding so quickly, we’re stuck at home I wanted to get working on it over Thanksgiving break.

[@zahidmubeen4450]

V nice. V nice. V nice

[@KathleenJLightWorker]

I would use fabric glue to join the pieces of binding. It will be stitched in anyway. Make the 45 cut, iron the seam 1/4 inch under before you place the binding on, finish by cutting the other side and glueing it. Finish binding. I really think permanent fabric glue could be your friend on this.

[@dianehendricks9125]

What fabric is used for the inside ? I’ve never quilted before but wanted to try to make one

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Diane! Cotton/Polyester batting is used for the inside from this kit: www.fatquartershop.com/quilt-as-you-go-holiday-stocking

[@casualcrafter2340]

I know you're selling these kits but it seems that some leftover batting would work just as well.

[@SuzetteG316]

I do this exact technique with my own batting. It's quite easy to do. You don't even need to draw the lines if you have any experience at all with quilting. But you could also certainly draw them on your batting if you choose. I love this technique and have fun making stockings this way.

How many stockings from 1 jelly roll

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Gretchen! We estimate that you will be able to make 4 stockings from one jelly roll.
