Hand Piecing 1

[@skylarwhite1628]

I am so excited to find this video! I live in a very small apartment and have to save my space but I desperately want to make a quilt! Thank you for also showing the no knot method! had no idea that was possible.

[@maddygutierrez7985]

So glad I found you. NO ONE quilts by hand anymore, it seems. Ugh...I still do and glad to learn these tips from you. Thank you.

[@judithdaus6083]

As a newbie, this was so easy to view & so informative. THANK YOU!

[@4vrceltic]

This was the BEST HAND QUILTING VIDEO EVER! I could have watched and listened to you for the duration of the whole quilt!! Your instructions were so clear and easy to understand. You weren't rushed, and your background was clean and uncluttered! Easy to follow and SO WELL DONE! Please post more, just watching and listening to you hand piece was so relaxing. Please post more!!! Love love love your tutorials. Thank you.

[@thequiltasylum]

Yay! Hand piecing is not difficult, and you can create wonderful quilts with a little bit of time and patience. Good luck!

[@augustwogsland3309]

Thank you so much for making this!! I especially appreciate the focus on both of your hands working together. I have been sewing with a machine for years and just recently starting my hand sewing journey and no one mentioned that my hands should work together lol. I'm hoping to hand piece a log cabin quilt for my mom and this has been super helpful. Thank you!

[@ddsmiles6382]

Woo woo I’m handing piecing and haven’t quilted since very young. It’s hard to find great info on hand piecing and hand quilting. Thank you so much! Much appreciated.

[@myothercarisfalcor]

Thanks!! This is exactly what I needed to find! I don't have a sewing machine and I'm making a hand pieced quilted pillow like thing with this technique. Hope Texas allergies aren't too bad right now! 😊

[@krisvanallen]

thank you for sharing your method! I handle the intersections the same way that you do. The first time I hand pieced, it seemed intuitive to me to reinforce the intersection that way. I think of it as "wrapping" the point at which the fabrics all come together. It makes for such perfect points!

[@brendaackerman2342]

I learned a lot from you! Thank you for sharing this video with us and for sharing your knowledge. I am going to start my first project today and feel so much more confident after seeing your video. Have a wonderful day!!

[@bteesparsen6037]

LOL, nothing like watching paint dry. Your video was so helpful. I having been quilting for a few years, but have wanted to make a quilt by hand for as long as can remember. I have been watching videos like crazy 😜 and today I found yours, very helpful, today is the day I start hand piecing! Thanks for a great video!

[@thequiltasylum]

Yay! I'm so glad you found it useful. You will LOVE the steady pace of hand piecing.

[@jaclynmoylan1905]

I just found your channel and I am excited that I did. I have machine pieced and while I love it for that instant gratification I have always wanted to have a hand quilting project going as well. Thanks so much for your time to teach us how to hand quilt. It really is a lost art. I look forward to more videos.

[@thequiltasylum]

I hope you enjoy hand piecing as much as I do! It's a great portable project, or for those days when you just want to sew and not think.

[@nancyincanada5553]

Excellent tutorial, thank you!

[@h3llthing]

Wow, this was a really nice tutorial! All the other ones I tried watching either explained too much at once or nothing much at all. :) Thank you miss Allen!

[@kathavalon19]

Very helpful, well made video. I look forward to seeing more.

[@roseneiger1251]

Thank you for your vedio ,wold like to do this ,now I believe I can after watching you love the lessons ,thank you in ohio

[@michelleh7587]

Love that I found your videos! I love any hand work and I have stitched a very small quilt by hand but my stitches were not done properly at all...definitely cannot wash my quilt lol. You have now shown me the correct way!

[@dcinrb8538]

My daughter's first quilt (8 x 10ish) top wouldn't lay flat and was abandoned to the back of a drawer. Twenty years later I "find" it. Using an IKEA poster frame and strips of mat boards, I labelled it "Study In Color".... She loves it... Yeah!

[@dcinrb8538]

Now for something totally different.... Hand Piecing 2

[@vsamuels9969]

Thank you for this tutorial. I'm working on my first quilt and this has helped me tremendously:)

[@thequiltasylum]

I'm so glad that you found it useful!

[@joycekim6067]

This is absolutely exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much!!!

[@thequiltasylum]

You're welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@joycekim6067]

I'm researching how to hand quilt before I get started and was wondering, Do you blanket stitch the seams of the pieces for the quilt? Thank you so much for any feedback.

[@thequiltasylum]

No, I don't blanket stitch the seams. It's not necessary. With hand-stitched seams, I press the seams to one side. With machine-stitched seams, I press the seams open.

[@chantaleb4193]

Thank you so much for this video. I am hand sewing a rag quilt and was wondering how to make the intersections of seams more secure when I sew the stripes together. Going to do this method.

[@Nancyswerner]

I’m still confused after watching the intersections part.. Are you basically going back and forth through the same spot a few times? Is that what she calls making a loop? I love thé vidéo but i got kind of stuck on that part. and it’s what I need to improve.

[@knit1purl1]

Very nice video. Liked and will be back to reference. Thank you.

[@200729dunney]

I've started to hand piece and I love it. Prefer it to machine piecing. Relaxing. I'm marking my seam lines but my blocks end up too small. I've heard a scant 1/4 inch seam will go a long way to solving my problem . Do u sew along the line or short of it .

[@bnyzhny]

Great tute! Thank you 🥰👏 Love your finger pin cushion. Where can I purchase one? :)

[@Kimkloke]

Jen Kingwell has a finger pincushion tutorial on Fat Quarter Shop channel here on KZbin.

[@vidyaanantha6328]

Love it. Thank you

[@vickijeanne9958]

Hi! Love your saying,"I am not a knotter", do you handle quilt layers the same way? or just on piecing....?

[@thequiltasylum]

I do use knots when hand quilting. I "pop" the knot under the surface and bury it in the batting.

[@dawnbetancourt27]

Do you have any videos on preparing and cutting the fabric?

[@janhulse9518]

could you open the seams and sew them down?

[@luminsk60]

Thank you so much for your lesson, but I have a question. What kind of thread and needle do you used?

[@thequiltasylum]

I use Clover Black Gold #10 sharp needles and Aurifil 50 weight thread

[@karen5502]

I LOVE the Clover Black Gold needles and the Aurifil 50!! Your tutorial is awesome!! Thank you.

[@kevinmonceaux2101]

A little over three years later and allergies are still really bad in Texas right now.

[@deborahwesthaver2920]

what are the measurement of the squares and what is the seam allowance is

[@janhulse9518]

what are registration dots??

[@not_today_satan_7]

Why not use a sewing machine?

[@jillbecker8651]

I use Inklingo to print the lines on the back of the fabric. It simplifies so much. Inklingo can be found on FB onLindaFranz.com. He site and technique are marvelous. Thank you so much for this video. It’s great!

[@bnyzhny]

Oops. Got it: google finger pin cushion 😂👏
