Ty for explaining I have 3 in 1 but never understood how to use now I can wait to use it

[@martinaryan5051]

Thank you,this is the best explanation I've seen on how to use this tool. I have it for the last year but didn't know how to use it,now I do !!!

[@Chatterboxquilts]

You're very welcome!

[@sewfun196]

Great info! Thank you.

[@donnadelahanty9903]

I am returning to sewing after quite a few years. This was a great video on the 3 in 1 tool. Thank you very much!

[@Chatterboxquilts]

You are so welcome!

[@sarahhardy8649]

Thank you for this video. I was able to source this in the UK and it was delivered the next day. I’m thrilled and anticipating that not only will it help me with sewing, but also papercraft.

[@SoulsJourney]

Color choices hang me up all the time. Just ordered the cards. Thanks for showing this!

[@Chatterboxquilts]

You are so welcome!

[@terrijones3386]

You are a really good teacher, first time I have truly understood how to choose colors. I will be ordering a color tool. thank you

[@Chatterboxquilts]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@notesfromleisa-land]

Fantastic explanation of this useful tool

[@anniegipson3734]

This was wonderful! Thankyou, thankyou. I have always struggled with color and surprisingly had just purchased a 3in1 Color Tool. Now I know how to use it!

[@Chatterboxquilts]

Wonderful!

[@hekeseme]

I’ve had that tool for years but never fully understood how to use it...thank you!

[@Chatterboxquilts]

Happy to help!

[@sandydali699]

Thank you for your very clear and concise explanation on how to use the 3in1 tool. I'm a more visual person, and the instructions that come with the tool weren't very clear. I'm just to get into quilting, though I do regular sewing. This was extremely helpful.

[@Chatterboxquilts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bobbieyoder7223]

Great info. I understand stood it and I have always struggled with it!! Yahoo

[@Chatterboxquilts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@vickiwalker975]

Very helpful video. Thank you!

[@Chatterboxquilts]

You're welcome!

[@MsNomitu]

Thank you! I was given that a way ago and didn't know how it worked. Appreciate the explanation. OMW to find where I placed it.

[@Chatterboxquilts]

Glad it helped!

[@micheleh4016]

This looks like a really handy tool. Thanks for sharing it.

[@Chatterboxquilts]

Thanks for watching!

[@maggiemae987]

I really enjoyed that tutorial. I’m a hairdresser & an artist so I understand color but for some reason picking out fabric seems completely different. I have Sprittly blocks made....they are navy & cream. I’m having the hardest time picking out my borders & backing. The reason this wasn’t decided before hand is because I was just playing around. Now I have 30 12” blocks. Both colors would touch the first border so I’m stuck.....PLEASE, HELP....ANYONE....🙏

[@drewgertz3504]

How come the 3 in 1 that I ordered doesn't have the shape cutouts in the back like yours?

[@Chatterboxquilts]

You'd have to check with the publisher about that. I've had mine for many years - many they have changed it a bit.

[@thefbcchurchlady]

It says on your website there is a way to join Quilters way without $$s. I assume for a trial period. Would love to do that but there is no way to do that.

[@Chatterboxquilts]

We are currently opening up The Quilter's Way for the Wrangle Your Scraps Challenge this month which is a paid challenge that includes one month's subscription to TQW so the free trial isn't currently applicable. If you send me your email I can advise you when this will be available - after the challenge is done. You can contact me at [e-mail].
