How to Iron for Quilting - A Really Good Method

[@tammyc.8751]

I watched this a few months ago. Well, gee whiz I watched again and this time-- I PAID ATTENTION!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

LOL...it makes a difference. Glad you watched twice

[@annielyst]

Your videos never get old. I refer back to them periodically just as a reminder on proper technique. Thanks!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

It's good to return to the foundations as your skills grow. You can apply what your have learned and see the nuances that you miss as a beginner

[@nancybenson1951]

This channel is a blessing.

[@kaif1360]

I have to leave another comment, this video has changed my world. I have completed two quilts using these instructions and I have No stretching of fabric, perfect nesting of seams, no hidden pleats! My quilt are not far off square at the end of the process. Thank you so much! Knowledge is a powerful thing. 💖💖💖

[@jennystrahley927]

Hi Karen, I rewatched this video this morning while drinking my coffee. It was a good reminder for me to slow down when pressing my seams and blocks. I miss your walking talks because I enjoy the scenery. I also enjoyed seeing Holly, she was patiently looking out the window while you were talking. I always enjoy your videos ❤

[@chloeforever7740]

I am also a beginner quilter and new to your channel. I have watched dozens of quilting videos and yours is the best. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with others. You are a true joy to watch. Jean

[@nhg642]

Love how you tutor in a pleasant & helpful way without judging. Instead, you speak from experience and share how our quilting lives can be easier, faster, better. Also, love having Holly appear in your vids. Good stuff all around!

[@gomezpnp]

I am a novice quilter, have been binge watching so many KZbin videos. Yours are by far the most helpful and I love your Alton Brown ‘Good Eats’ approach in your content. Very entertaining also! Thank you for all you do!

[@juliekerker4335]

Excellent. Who knew they did not know how to iron??? Thanks so much!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

I know 😜

[@mojosbigsticks]

There can't be many videos that have 16k likes, and only 103 dislikes. Excellent work!

[@julieolsen3636]

"You're not giving a massage..." LOVE IT!!! I love your sense of humor. You explained perfectly why my squares are no longer square when I've ironed them. So glad to know!

[@Alafayr]

We had a family friend that sewed all the clothing for her 4 girls, even all of their underwear! When asked how she did it, she replied, " I sew with my iron." That has stuck with me for over 50 years! Thanks for the tips.

[@theresaross4620]

I've been quilting for 40 yrs (self taught) and learned so much from your videos!! Thank you!!

[@darcy2965]

You don't need VLOG!!! Everything you do is great already. Adding in photos or videos of howto's is enough. Making coffee not needed. We all appreciate you just as you are

[@faithmoore8903]

Your finger pressing is now MY technique!!! Thank you so much!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

It's worth the extra step

[@TBRStaysFull]

I hate these giveaways, I’m always a year too late 😂 just getting into sewing, your videos have been a great help. Thanks for sharing 🥰

[@terrilynch4888]

Yep, I am also

[@jeannecharlson9678]

[@loiswood3363]

Thank you for describing your ironing technique so clearly. Many videos assume the viewer knows, well, anything! Haha. I can’t tell you how many wonky blocks I’ve made. Not that it stops me, I plod along as fearlessly as possible. I love your videos and you are fun like a favourite aunt or sister to learn quilting from. There’s sew! much more to it than I first thought.

[@canamstitcher2625]

Your demonstration using the woven paper was very effective, thank you! I’ve tried to always set my seams and press with the iron (not always successful with the press) but hadn’t known about the finger press in-between. I’m encouraged this will help me reduce the possibility of ‘wonky’ blocks. 😊

[@chrissybennett6930]

Thank you. I am just finding you. I too miss your giveaway but what matters most is after three years I can still find this. I am so thankful 🙏 💛

[@susanwilkins4185]

I love her videos. She gets right to the point and doesn’t babble on about. Where I could lose my interest in the topic. This is important to me.

[@namitakendall4796]

I have been wondering why my work was becoming skewed when I was so carefully cutting and sewing! Very useful. Thank you

[@daisybromlow425]

I had no idea you were lost , buttt I just found you and I am hooked . I'm 64 and disabled but love to stay busy , learning new things , doing things I know how to do. I've been binge watching and just love the masking tape video , the rest is like a refresher course. Love your upbeat , can do attitude. Have a Blessed weekend.

[@jenniferintouch]

I've always pressed my seams every which way. This is a game changer! It's been 30+ years sewing on my own.. basic squares into quilts and holiday crafts. So grateful for your tutorial on ironing, as well as your other videos! I've learned a lot about fabrics over the years, but have been stuck in a rut by my limited understanding. I'm so excited to move forward thanks to all you've shared. Don't stop quilting!

[@nancybello8549]

I am new to quilting however I have been ironing since a little girl. Thank you for this video as you answered so many issues I have been experiencing

[@sandiemcneilly4769]

Thank you for helping my ironing technique. I repent of swishing and will now press!

[@nancyainsliemcallister1422]

I am two days into quilting and I am in love with your videos, ironing,quilting hacks and beginner quilting video’s have already boosted my confidence of becoming a quilter! You are amazing, thank you for your expertise and willingness to share openly and honestly! I look forward to spending more time learning from you!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Exciting times ahead

[@sophiafarah6387]

I am a beginner. I love watching your tricks and tips. Thank for teaching me about fabrics and how finger pressing works. Thank you so much! Your personality and knowledge is so refreshing and you are a wonderful teacher. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@julendia]

I am working on a baby quilt and applying all your ironing techniques. It’s really working! My block sizes are exact and my seams are nesting. THANK YOU!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

I was surprised, then shocked when I first started using it. It really did work.

[@amyferris8450]

Oh my goodness this was so helpful. No wonder my blocks were wanky. I was swishing!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Amazing the difference eh

[@pattystein3143]

Karen, i made a gorgeous quilt out of "Palm Canyon" that my sister in law actually liked! And it is time for a new iron!

[@jennifergregory4219]

Just watched this last night and applied this concept to the log cabin quilt I’m making. My second quilt ever. The final squares were getting smaller and not square. You are right, this ironing method has made a huge difference! They are supposed to be 18 inches finished and I’m not quite there but this technique has made a 1/4 to 1/2 inch difference!!! Thank you!!!!

[@alicemarks9062]

My mother was great with an iron and I thought I was too until I started Quilting this was a great tutorial

[@joyceschroeder2769]

What great tips! This 3-step pressing technique is most often forgotten in our rush to "get it done", resulting in less than desirable results. Such good reminders, and I particularly appreciate understanding the science behind why it works. Thanks so much!

[@ginnydodd9327]

Perfect instruction. Combines methods I've seen that work, NO ironing police!

[@margmatthews2276]

About to start my first quilt I am 80 so time to try I have not sewed for 25 years...even bought a new sewing machine. I will send a picture of the result not fast just had a stroke...here I go LOVE you show been watching for last 3 months....

[@lauratibbles6598]

I have been sewing for 50 yrs my mother in law was German and Russian and I learned a lot about sewing from her and quilting and she hand pressed her seams when quilting and she also hand quilted her quilts but you have given me some really great time saving ideas while sewing thank you for sharing and I am so glad that I have found you and PS I really love the clothes line rope baskets trays and bags ....I thought of a great idea for in the trunk of cars or back of SUV’s making square rope bags for items that you would put tools in or groceries in so as they don’t roll around in back of your vehicle and could be carried in the house in theses bags and then taken back to the vehicle when groceries are put away I just love that again thank you

[@TheWoodlandGardener]

Finally, an explanation on setting the seams. Now I know why I need to do this and I will no longer skip it. Thank you! Love your videos, you're an A+++++ teacher. Cheers! Angela

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

It appears just to an extra step 😎

[@rhondagarden8878]

She is absolutely a GOLD mine of tips, tricks and strategies! I discovered her (I believe) in the middle of or towards the fall of 2020 when I was just starting out quilting and immediately subscribed! I have learned a SO MUCH from Karen! She's my number one go-to on KZbin. She's helped me learn how to do everything from iron correctly to organize my life with a bullet journal. Karen Brown has definitely made an impact on my life🤗😁🤗😁🤗

[@rebeccagarmonhinders7653]

LOVE the way you explain things about quilting. I keep wondering if you were a science teacher in a previous life. I hope so, the way you explain/ teach about quilting helps me so much.

[@nancyholtzen1755]

I have sewn for years. I learned a lot, maybe my blocks will be flatter now. Great information. My daughter is just starting to quilt, I will pass this information to her. Thank you very much for so much good stuff.

[@aristaniforth4267]

I did not expect this video to be as much of a game changer as it was!! I’m a complete beginner and making house blocks for a quilt with family, and they went from wonky to lovely after I started following this! Thank you for the time you took to make this video, it really helped ❤️

[@chevydude658]

Finally! Something on pressing that makes sense. I have wracked my brains trying to figure out why my blocks were so off. I have obsessed over the measuring and cutting. Then I've sewn, picked, and re-sewn my blocks only to have them distorted and out of whack. I think I this is the answer to my problem. I iron like a man! A real man! That means 500° and smoking and scorching fabric. LOL! I'm excited to try this because I was getting discouraged.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

So glad to have helped.

Thank you for all of your tips! I’ve been sewing since I was a young girl but you always manage to teach me something new!

[@ramonamcdowell6702]

Thankyou for reminding how important pressing is as we sew! How to set the seam with your piano style finger movement then set your iron straight down & lift up!! Hallelujah! You will smile 😃 When you sew your blocks together!!

[@dhsexton]

The finger press step - what a game-changer! I'm in the midst of a BOM quilt that has many small pieces thus many seams. I went back to this video & re-watched it. So my first blocks will probably have to be re-done - but not any of the ones I made after watching this. Thank you, Karen.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Excellent

[@debl-s5677]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've never, ever had anyone go over the do,'s & don'ts for me before. I've even had my husband watch this too, as he sometimes gives me a hand with the iron. Thanks again Karen. Hugs from Milford CT!!

I will be back at intermission to revisit them I'm sure!

I just turned 70 and want to learn to quilt and thank you so much for your wonderful tips. I am trying the ironing as you showed and my seams look so much better.

[@granjmy]

Oh my! I see why we must not swish! When you opened that final square- the blue and red one- I instinctively felt my mind telling my hand to use the edge of the iron to push the seam open and flat! Wow. This is eye-opening for me.

I don't think my iron and I will ever have the same relationship--AND I'M THRILLED. THIS explains so much... I'm sitting here gobsmacked over how wrong I've been doing my ironing my entire life. The stack of linen skirts and dresses that I've been afraid to launder makes me want to cry when I look at it. This is life-changing stuff, ma'am! Thank you!

Hi there - clearly I'm late to the game, but I found you this morning through your "Ugly Fabrics" video, and now I'm here, and next I'll be popping over to the diy ironing board... and productivity just came to a screeching halt!! I really enjoyed this video - so clever, the way you change locations and keep it interesting. It's during COVID-19, and I'm trying to figure out how to keep my Grade 1/2 students engaged in this remote learning thing. Not only have you inspired me to try that "ugly fabric" quilt, but I'm also going to try some of your setting change techniques with my lessons!

[@semco72057]

I shall remember this technique when pressing my blocks and I have many which I have to press which has been cut out and just boxed up by my grandmother many years ago. Since my mother was not into quilting she didn't use the fabric it was stored away and I ended up with it along with her sewing machine which I have to put back in use before I am too old to do anything with any of it. Thanks so much for the information on pressing the pattern blocks and making sure the blocks are straight like I want them to be.

[@faeryfox6253]

Oh my word "Lightbulb moment"! That is now taken in. Yaay! If you can, will you please address the use of stiffeners on the fabric and ironing. I generally like to starch but good especially if I am going to embroider. I want crisp edges and keeping the fabric's fibers motionless and in place. Oh, I hope you can speak to that for us. Thanks for enhancing my sewing life!

[@HeartWorX.Creations]

Faery Fox:: I just was reading your comment & wanted to share that I usually starch my fabrics after washing them, before rotary cutting. But if U do starch, do NOT use steam, steam stretches the fabric fibers, which defeats the purpose of starching, if U follow...I’m with U, love the crispness of the starched fabric & it’s much easier to cut & sew if it’s been starched & ironed properly! Also, when I iron the starched fabric before cutting, I don’t iron the fabric like it is clothing, I iron in one direction (usually from the top of the board towards me) & no ‘swishing’ the iron, keep it straight & smooth in nice long sweeps... Lastly, if U do use starch, spray on fabric & let it “settle” into the fabric a few seconds, otherwise it will get all over your iron plate & make a mess, it needs to ‘soak’ into the fabric, U will see what I mean-if U haven’t noticed previously! HTH’s 😊👍❗️❗️

And I also have dogs that I have to pet and food to cook and floors to clean. So thank you so much for your very informative videos. I hope you do well in the land of KZbin! Also, stay warm!

[@genealogydr]

I'm going to try this out. Another Question- when you are doing a scrap or crumb quilt and have a LOT of seams and ragged edges, does this still work? I'm trying to understand more about that version of finger pressing. Do you do this before every single press? What about with big piecesbof long strips? Further, I have seen seam rollers on some pther KZbin channels. Could you use this instead of finger pressing?

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Yes. I am a scrappy quilter and it's just perfect for scraps. Just be aware of the bias and avoid stretching it. It becomes habit very quickly as the results are worth it. I do it with small and large, long and short. It's a much faster step once your fingers know what they are doing. I do have a seam roller. I use it mostly for paper piecing where the seam are secured by paper and less delicate. When I don't have the paper, I roll in the same direction of my finger press.

[@kathykline3436]

Great tips, thanks! I haven’t been finger pressing but will start now!

[@pj89-96]

Once you remember to finger press each seam it does become second nature and you'll see a big difference. It took me a little time to remember but I sure picked it up fast when I'd check my work. :)

This video has changed my quilting game for the better! I've quilting for awhile and my blocks always looked good (points line up most of the time, etc.) except they have always been just a tiny bit too small. So my quilts look great, but it's been common for me to adjust the overall quilt size in my borders. I tried this ironing technique yesterday and am blown away - 3 *perfectly* sized blocks. Ta-da!!!
