Enjoyed very much.

[@NinaofFour]

I practice 'no rules' on all my borders and have never had a problem. I've been doing that for many years. Glad you got your sew job back.

[@carlaatkins2619]

Most enjoyable video. I am glad to see you smiling and laughing. The panel worked out wonderfully; I love the trucks. Are you going to use it or possibly sell it? 🎶💐💖

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

It will go in my sale or auction pile.

[@madelynmandina7495]

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

Awesome 😊

That little green tree print is Deb Strain's! What a find!

[@elizabethgilmon1419]

It is gorgeous, I may give a panel a chance 😂

[@fallenangel1049]

I remember in home economics class way back when we were told to stretch out opposite corners to straighten out wonky fabric and also to snip end and rip….good job….first time watching from suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio

[@ShirleyLewis-me5gc]

Good morning Tiffany, I love that panel,my husband loves the truck .

[@tonialtman3727]

Greetings from Cape Coral Fl

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

Go for it.

[@geralynlima9152]

You are inspiring me, Tiffany! Try pulling more on the bias.

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

I tugged on it quite a bit after spraying it with water. It helped before I cut it finally

[@jackiebeatty3801]

Glad to see you get your mojo back…great instructional, this was very helpful…

[@marycook9607]

Hello from Oklahoma

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

Hello there!

[@Isabella95640]

Just trimming that heavy salvage helps to square up an off printed pattern. Love your tutorials!

[@margienell4401]

I have that Panel! I cut it up!

[@guesswhonancy9028]

Girl thank you, you made laugh

[@djackson4659]

Excellent video! I’m so glad to see someone show how to square a really wonky panel. You also showed two ways to try to square it up. A lot of people will show squaring a panel with a perfect panel that makes it look easy. Thanks for demonstrating with a very wonky panel and stating that when you iron it, you still needed to stretch it some more.

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

Yep, stretch and steam press many times to get it not wonky.

[@KateBerggren]

I can just whip these up tomorrow ..thank you so much for the lesson and for the encouragement!

[@margienell4401]

I just ordered the Santa Claus panel! This will be quick!

[@karenbrunette6314]

[@rosiehowell5575]

Thanks for all the tips regarding "straightening up panels". I'm about to deal with one and all your info will come in VERY handy! ❤ 🥰

[@dianepiatt5503]

When I was in Home Ec in school, we used to make sure our fabric was in line by the grain of the fabric. We would get on corners with two people and pull, pull, pull. ❤️

[@balinda9716]

This is my first time watching you. You have entertained me & gave me a few pointers. I’m looking forward to watching some of you other videos!

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@lindabrown9550]

I have been watching for quite some time on my TV while I recoup. Thanks for all you do.

[@lisanakao1043]

Great to see you got your sewing mojo back. This was perfect to show how quickly a panel quilt can be done..

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

Thank you! 😊

[@stephaniesnape6787]

Agree with Margie, the green with fir trees and small red cars is likely to be Deb Strain - she designs for Moda and often does Xmas ranges.

[@Jpbreiling]

Enjoyed this episode, glad you have your sew Jo back, have a great day.

[@margienell4401]

Deb Strain

[@HeidiSanToro]

oh, i have the little trucks fabric by Deb Strain..home grown holidays... this is beautiful ty for the tutorial

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

That's cool 😊

[@glendahyde804]

Glad you got your sew jo back.Turned out beautiful. Thank you for sharing

[@kimdavenport9820]

You got your sew jo back!! Love watching you think through your escapades!!

[@jeanielipskey1272]

Thats so awesome! Thanks for the stretching tip, I would have been going, what? LOL I have several panels, now I will try to make a quilt!

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

You can do it!

[@JeanneOlson-vv9tl]

12:30 about…. Exactly what I say. “It’ll come out in the wash. To be honest I’ve pieced the tops of just under 20 quilts in 16 months time. Finished the quilting on 3 of them. So I haven’t seen a lot. But I believe most in-something-ness, will come out in the wash. All things considered. Happy sewing!!!

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

Yup it will all wash out and look normal 😄

[@marinaabad4995]

Glad you have your mojo back! Great tutorial.

[@beckyspencer1458]

Fantastic instruction! I always learn something when I watch your videos. Ty for being such a great teacher! Makes me more brave to try things I probably never would do.

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

Happy to help!

[@amadeus4313]

I love your videos. You make me laugh lol and you know your stuff

[@autumn88310]

I didn't know how wonky a panel could be but now I am ready to make one Thank you so much for the information. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

Merry Christmas 🎅

[@MylifeMyway7283]

I always go to JoAnns Store. I Love it there, especially when they have Sales plus my Coupons

[@ElizabethMercier-wz7el]

This looks beautiful, you made it look doable. Yes I am still alive, good for 77

[@debbiebrugman4543]

Deb Strain for Moda, her Homegrown Hoilday 2020. Thank you for the tips on how to straighten a Quilt panel, something I’ve always struggled with, and ideas for borders.

[@leeallen210]

The math teacher in me was calling out: .87 or 985 is 7/8, .375 is 3/8 The quilt looks very nice. I liked you showing how to try and straighten the panel.

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@auntdodo1sews]

​@@TiffanysQuiltingLife 7/8 of a yard is .875. Fractions can be difficult for people to understand who don't use them all the time. There are charts around or you can figure it out manually. For those who are really fraction challenged there is google and Alexa. That is the fastest way. Lol

[@kimdavenport9820]

No one can have to much fun when sewing!!!

[@lyneparker877]

Awesome you make it look so easy and your not short everyone else is tall .Thank you so much.

[@kwatson5451]

Thanks for this timely panel quilt tutorial. I have a snowman panel to finish by Christmas, along with several projects!😊

[@louisebeairsto6711]

Tiffany! Love this! You have a great attitude! Thank you for sharing and happy for you to have your sew jo back!❣❣

[@karid9927]

There is a video 6 years ago from Hoffman fabric. It is called Squaring up Hoffman fabrics panels. They explain how it goes on the bolt causes the panels to be wonky on the bolt.

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

Thanks 😊

[@paulariggs9508]

It's beautiful.

[@coreygilles847]

So cute

[@kganda415]

Beautiful!!! New subscriber here. 😍🤩

[@auntdodo1sews]

You are an amazing person and an amazing teacher. Having been in the fabric retail management industry for 35 years, including years of fabric technology, I can tell you about why your panel is off grain. When they are rolled and bolted it has been pulled offgrain. Lightly spraying it with water and stretching it, often does the job. Almost all the cottons you work with are are stretched out of shape. However, since you rotary cut your solids and allover prints, you don't notice it. I can show you how to see that just about any fabric you work with is off grain. There are fabrics with no grains, such as many interfacings, felts, and others that you can lay any which way and no grain worried. Any designs on them are printed on top. Technology is changing and so will your fabrics.

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

Ya I watched videos on fabric being made and how it goes through and is rolled on rolls then sent to the business that put rolls on big machines and it folds and bolts up the fabric. It's pretty neat how it's done 😉

[@pamelamcarthur5131]

Thank you for doing this project! I have a panel quilt to do for a gift so this is very helpful!

[@noninunes6627]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I lead the Children’s Service Group in the local quilt guild. I was given multiple panels and I had no idea what to do with them. So happy to be able to turn them into quilt tops. I await your video on how to quilt them. ❤

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

You are so welcome!

[@heavensmountains323]

Such a happy Christmas quilt. I like your straightforward instructions!🎄🎄🎄

[@jennysanfilippo2105]

Dearest Tiffany, Scott, and Thumper, have yourselves a Merry Little Christmas. No doubt it will be a white one here in Maine 🦞. Thanksgiving was the one year mark of my precious daughter's passing, I miss her terribly. I'm pushing forward's though daily. I've joined a Wednesday sewing class, plus go to Church regularly. Watching all three of you weekly, is my favorite thing to do. You've pulled me out of some very solom day's all year long, and managed to put a smile on my face. I'm very blessed by God, to have your videos. Thank you. You are a real hoot, and I love it. Merry Christmas, remember who's birthday we're Celebrating always, everyone.❤🤗🤠😎🤓🙂🎚️🎆🎂🎈🥳🎶😇🎼🙏📜🎵📖🌟🇺🇸🦌🎄☃️

Thanks so much tiffany. I've had that panel now since last year and was wondering what I wanted to do with my borders and this gives me a very good start. I love it!!!
