OMG, David you are a genius. Thank you so much for the trick. As a side benefit, my quilt top is now minty fresh!

To each his own. I'm into trying methods to find the one which works for you. For myself, working with the mobility of fabric adding another flexible item doesn't make sense. When obsessing on points the three pin, baste to check then sew works for me. Important thing is to find the method that gives you the results you want.

Impressive. I will try your tip. Thank you.

This is a great tip! I have always used the three pins method myself but as pointed out it is not foolproof...I try to figure out where that 1/4" should be but am not always successful!

I saw this on your website and was a convert. I evangelize and credit you this method. Floss works great for aligning fabric for OBW quilt. It’s the perfect pivot material

This cracks me up! I spend far too much time trying different ways to align points but never thought of floss which I keep handy for cleaning the tension discs. (The reason it cracks me up is that I’m a dentist.)

Thank you so much. As I age, I’m having so much trouble with this. I’m headed upstairs now. I just started a new quilt with lots of matching seams. Giving this a try.

This would take the joy out of sewing for pleasure , good for an exhibition quilt , but far too tedious for most sewers

It's like half a tailor's tack. Great precision tool.

Too much time to do every point. It would take forever to get your quilt sewn.
@karencotter7741 Жыл бұрын
Once you get used to it, I actually find it faster than pinning, and gets better points since floss doesn't distort your fabric like pins do.

@pattysuemcgowen, I guess it depends on the artist. Someone like me who likes to be extremely precise would take the time this method requires if this is the most efficient way to be that precise.
@TheVerdantGryphonАй бұрын
This is brilliant. …but I’m not getting it quite right. Somehow my bottom point keeps coming out a little off, a bit shy of the seam. I’ll keep practicing, but if anyone has thoughts on what I’m doing wrong, please say!

At least use a self threading needle. Otherwise… you finish a quilt in 5 years.

This is fantastic! My sewing of matching points has been forever changed. Hooray! Thank you for the video. I do have one question. What I just witnessed in the video was for one point. But how to you sew a row together? Out of curiosity, do you just “floss” one point at a time as you move down the row? Or do you “floss” all the points in the row before sewing and tug on each one individually as you get closer? Thanks in advance for answering my question. Lisa

Hi Lisa, I don't know what David does. But, I've "flossed" multiple points at a time - the sewing goes quite smoothly (tugging the floss as your reach it) and takes less time than doing one point at a time. It's worth the try... it works great for me.

I am struggling with aligning and getting the points lined up! I don"t understand what you are doing around the 2 stitches to the right. Please someone explain.
@quiltmavendave77912 жыл бұрын
Hi Debra. All that means is...as you're sewing toward the floss, aim just to the right of where the floss is coming out of the fabric. You'll be sewing over the floss:)
