How to Work with Selvages

I love selvages and sometimes, I even buy fabric for the unique selvage! In this video, I will explain how to cut selvages and how to use them. This video supports two of my patterns, the Circuitry Quilt which can be found in my book, Intentional Piecing, and Selvage Whirlwind which is available as a pdf. (disclaimer: I wouldn't recommend placing a wool mat on your cutting mat-that was only done for convenience while filming!)

Good job, Tommy! You and mom are a great team! Love your blocks! I was given a garbage bag full of selvages; can’t wait to get started!

Thank you so much for a great tutorial! I have been saving selvedges for several years, but now know I haven't been cutting them quite wide enough. I'll make them work anyway, and in the future I'll cut a wider piece.

Amy has created another very helpful video. I’ve always saved salvages but not been clear how to work with them. After watching 2 of Amy’s video’s, I am now a subscriber! Congratulations to Amy.

Thank you Catherine!

Thanks for posting this! I found it very helpful. I have been collecting salvages forever and am intimidated to use them for some weird reason. Timothy did a great job on editing! Love his logo, too!

[@duringquiettime]

Ha, you noticed the logo huh? He's strikes a hard bargain! It was his demand for helping :)

Good job, Amy! Good job, Timothy!

SELVAGE not SALVAGE

[@stephanieyork6897]

Thank you. Salvage is a verb, selvage is a noun. None the less, a good video and information.

[@shirleywells4504]

You are salvaging your selvages. Two different meanings and pronunciations--no matter how Eleanor Burns says it!

I just tried to contact you about purchasing one of your patterns, but your site didn't seem to have a way to do so....

These are pronounced "selvages"....not "salvages".
