How to Square a Quilt

This is how I square up a quilt prior to adding the binding.

Dating your change of blade is a darn good idea, thank you for that tip.

Squaring up such amazing piecing and quilting gives this awesome work the end-of-project attention it deserves. Who knew bubbles could relax overnight? I'm going off now to change my cutter wheel and mark the date! Thank you Terry !!

I love the braided scrap quilt in the background! Would love a tutorial on that!

[@marilynrn711]

I learned several new handy tips from you today. Thanks for the video. I found your channel from your interview with Steven.

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

Your quilt is beautiful. Thanks for the tips.

[@mrsbobbinlacer]

You do make it hard but it does work and people that don't do quilts need that help.

[@patdavies2048]

Wow I have never really had a class in squaring a quilt so by doing the diagonals of each side you know it is square? Thank you so much!

[@terryrowland398]

Yes that is a carpenters trick

[@audreybeaudry5991]

Loved the lesson, very informative. Thanks

[@Lucaangelo252]

Hi Terri, I subscribed after watching your color wash quilt mentioned on The Last Lonely House. I also watched your interview with The idiot quilter. I’d love to see a video from you on your Kawandi quilt! Your work is inspiring, thank you :)

[@chavakern3124]

Thank you so much Terry. All your videos are so helpful. Happy new year!

[@terryrowland398]

Thank you Chava

[@mambakind]

Spritzing with water! Great idea. I really like the quilting you did on that one, Terry. I think such great quilting might save my Ricky Tims' kaleidoscope too. I am examining your video hoping to get some inspiration. Thanks.

[@terryrowland398]

I divide and conquer Sarah and the spritz I got it quite wet and placed my plastic table below my ceiling fan

[@rosinyberg8747]

Perfect lesson!!! Thank you

Hello Rosi how are you doing, where are you from?

Это очень красивый узор из калейдоскопа. Я до сих пор люблю забавляться с этой игрушкой( мне 57 лет), но сшить такую красоту не смогла бы. Это очень талантливо. С уважением из Москвы.

[@terryrowland398]

thank you so much

Another winning video, Terry. Thank you for sharing your expertise. You have a great helper, too. The measuring then stretching hint is very appreciated. I learned that I could square yardage after laundering before cutting by stretching diagonally, but I didn’t think of using that technique to square after quilting! So smart! Aren’t those folding tables handy for extra space when needed?

[@terryrowland398]

thank you Mona I do have to ask my Husband to help once in a while...Makes him feel needed LOL. I do the diagonal stretch on panels all the time they are always cockeyed. and I love my folding table my knees are not what they used to be.

[@karenlittle2905]

Thank you -- very useful tips!

[@lindamannell1607]

Great !

[@marlene1534]

Thank you for this video! Very helpful. One question. If the border width will not be the same all around do you make any adjust for that? Or perhaps it will not be that noticeable on a larger quilt.

[@terryrowland398]

You would just square it to the outside edge Marlene

[@jenniek4617]

Really helpful and informative. Such a beautiful piece of work Terry. Thank you so much. PS is that snow outside? It pouring with rain here in England can you send us some snow for Christmas?!

[@terryrowland398]

Oh in Alberta Canada we have lots of snow early this year . I would love to share some with you all.

[@sandan2358]

Lovely quilt, what batting did you use?

[@terryrowland398]

80/20 cotton /poly with wool over top

[@millboroquiltersouthdakota6037]

What are you using to remove the date? Is it finger nail polish remover and permanent markers?

[@terryrowland398]

Filled with rubbing alcohol to take off the felt markers you also can put on a piece of clear tape and write o. That

[@SewWhittle]

Hi Terry, your channel is my top go to for scrap quilts. I absolutely love it. I am very interested in the quilt in the background. Would you be doing a tutorial on how it is done? Thank you again.

[@terryrowland398]

Thank you Frances for the rave review on my channel . That one was a scrap challenge quilt I made . it was made as a braid and joined with lots of partial seams not every bodies cup of tea. That being said who knows there might be another one of those quilts in my future. Keep watching
