We sew over our pins all the time and very rarely break a needle! give it a try :)

[@lindaalford2778]

What a great video on the bookshelf quilt. I especially enjoyed the binding joining. What a simple way to create the binding. Thank you.

[@sweetpeamachineembroideryd4694]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kamason1217]

Great video. Because of your excellent ideas I have started attaching binding on my quilts the way you demonstrate. I've had so much success with it and it's the only way I do it now. Thank you for making it easier and for a much nicer outcome.

[@sweetpeamachineembroideryd4694]

Our pleasure Phil, glad you like them!

I have always wanted to make a bookshelf quilt. I am going to have to check this out when company leaves.

[@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509]

Such a fun quilt top! Thanks for sharing!

[@sweetpeamachineembroideryd4694]

It really is!

[@janblair8953]

thanks, i just learned a better way to do the binding. got this file so now i can give it a try.

[@sweetpeamachineembroideryd4694]

Have fun!

[@katrinakennedy2116]

Love this

[@corinnegeddings4667]

This is going to be fun! I bought this yesterday and made a sample block last night....a sample because dummy me trimmed the background fabric on all four sides....when will I ever learn to follow directions! LOL..I had to come back in and order the Mylar as it is impossible to find in my town. Thanks for the awesome video!

[@beverlyakins2374]

Awesome I will try this

[@williamtaylor2412]

love this

[@gail020759]

Excellent video!! Thank you for taking us through the entire process. Do you have a video which also shows how to add batting underneath the border if you are not using a heavy border fabric? Sweetpea Machine Embroidery Designs?

[@gaylachapman]

Would love to make this a throw quilt.

[@elsatraynor5893]

A great video but I'm wondering if there is batting behind the borders and how and when would it be added.

[@kellyestrada2456]

Will we be able to customize the book titles?

[@sweetpeamachineembroideryd4694]

Absolutely! you will have to use your own software to do so!

[@marynippert8203]

What do you mean when you say we will have to use our own software to customize the book titles? I'm new with embroidery machine. Will the letters that come with the machine work?

[@gomezsandy]

can we change any of the titles on the books?

[@mariaalvino4348]

Hi, excuse my ignorance but why did you not put wading between the quilt top and backing? Is it because it’s going to be a wall hanging and not a lap quilt. Sorry I am new to this. By the way, very clear and great video.

[@awnastark2823]

they did it in the first step

[@elbanti]

What size blocks were used in this video? I like the finished size!

[@sweetpeamachineembroideryd4694]

The 6x6 Hoop! Thankyou!

[@Barbaracoyle]

cool

[@ludmila1768]

Спасибо большое за этот ролик - это именно то, что мне нужно! Просьба подключить русские субтитры.

[@sweetpeamachineembroideryd4694]

You can connect the sub-titles yourself through your KZbin settings.

[@veronicacattivera3642]

Can i change the “name”of the books?

[@sweetpeamachineembroideryd4694]

yes you can omit our book names and add your own

[@kellyestrada2456]

Any hints on how to do batting, if heavy fabric is not used for borders?

[@kamason1217]

One excellent post suggested not using batting for each block. Then when the top is finished add the batting and the backing similar to a regular quilt top. I may start over after seeing that. It is so much easier than trimming batting for multiple blocks. Just have fun.

[@greta_and_her_husband]

😍😍😍

[@blessedmamalife]

If this is done with 4x4 only, what is the final size?

[@sweetpeamachineembroideryd4694]

four rows by four rows would approx be 17" x 17" finished.

[@blessedmamalife]

@@sweetpeamachineembroideryd4694 I meant if you used a 4x4 hoop for each block

[@barbaraalvarez429]

The link is not working.

[@lesleysmith9062]

Hoops where do you get them from

[@sweetpeamachineembroideryd4694]

No sure what you mean by hoops?

[@rebeccam9008]

Love the pattern but I don't do Facebook!

[@sweetpeamachineembroideryd4694]

You can still purchase this deign without going on Facebook, head over to our online store SWPEA.COM and search Bookshelf Quilt. Thanks

[@dixiemarshall5777]

Is the 'kit' for this quilt available? If so where do I go to order one? I saw no point/place of purchase nor cost referenced. Thank you.

[@sweetpeamachineembroideryd4694]

We don't have a kit included for this design, only the digital file. To purchase the Design go to SWPEA.com

[@lindamorris6993]

Where do you find the hoop, and does it fit any machine?

[@sweetpeamachineembroideryd4694]

The Hoops should come with your machine, if you wanted to purchase more you would have to buy the correct hoop for your machine's brand.

[@cathyregister3696]

I didn't think you were supposed to stitch in the ditch if your seams were pressed open, but that's what they are saying to do on this quilt. So is that okay?

[@sweetpeamachineembroideryd4694]

Sorry, I missed this comment... It's fine to do this as we're stitching through the seam onto a backing or lining so it's quite secure. There is not right or wrong way to do things... this just happens to be our way. By all means, do what feel right for you.

[@mystery-kid7659]

would have been nicer if the guy didn't sound like he couldn't care less
