If you put the second piece under the top one you can cut just once and the lines will match. Thanks for wonderful tutorials.

[@MomorEliza8688]

Great video and so nice that you support and feature another female artist. ❤

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Always!

[@kimjordan732]

Beautiful design. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@kathykirk3059]

I think it would be easier if you layer both fabrics face up and make one cut. I love your work!

[@lottiesmith8937]

That was my thought as well.

[@marisah5724]

Was going to mention it too :)

[@headlessviolin]

I just wanted to tell you that so much easier . Love your videos xxx

[@stitchesbyjulia]

I’m such a beginner at this- lol. I had trouble with the bottom layer moving. I will keep practicing!

[@bridgetrsews]

Thank you Julia ! I have only just discovered this type of quilting, it appeals to me so much more than a complex pattern. I will buy the book, thanks for the recommendation! Bridget 🤗

[@alteriormotiveswithcarrie8546]

Julia, you are such a craft adventurer! I'm so glad you tried this, it has been a mystery to me how to do curves so it's neat to see you do it. And the second view on the sewing machine was definitely more revealing and helpful than the first, just my two cents. Thank you for sharing with us!!

[@cherylramey3948]

Love this idea and technique... Thank you for sharing...love your videos.

[@judyandersen3842]

So nice of you to share your new creations! Beautiful and fun!

[@kirstencook1439]

Love it- thank you

[@marianrooth9514]

Glad you made it out of minus 30. Thanks for the video.

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Marian! I am so thankful for not being in MN! It was -29 this morning. Ugh!

[@LittleDotCom]

I would love to try this wavy technique to make a lake and beach look and combine it with your appliqué tutorial on fall leaves by sewing on fish. I’m just not great at coming up with ideas but your videos help.

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi, Agree- this curvy method would make a great land or seascape background! Keep those ideas coming!

[@pma613]

So beautiful

[@tributetomama]

Love Jeans work. I have her book. I’m drawn more to quilting of that type. Good job on your video. Thanks.

[@jeanwestackroyd2966]

Ah Julia, you have left me wanting to see more of this ! Hope your next video is going to be soon, looking forward to seeing more of what you made. Thanks for sharing.

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Jean, thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment. I hope to get the next video up on Friday but my computer is not working. I ordered a new cord and hoping that’s all it is. I am not technically! Have a great day!

[@katrinamcgonagle6059]

Love you Julia! Your inspirational

[@katemorgan4346]

Love your videos. You are so enjoyable to watch and your teaching is great. Are you still planning to make a video on how to make this into your mini quilt?

[@marisah5724]

Thanks, Julia. I can't wait to try this!

[@sonjagianinazzi2588]

Thank you, Julia! So beautiful💙

[@andreayucis3131]

Once again I’m inspired! Thank you for this video. 💕

[@kaycrunkilton2817]

Very interesting, I have never seen this done before. Thanks for sharing.

[@evasaker2476]

Thanks for sharing! As always so inspiring! I love this tecnique, it reminds me of the ”quarter circle” ruler tecnique (can’t remember what the ruler is called now), but in principle you divide squares with a quarter circle cut and join them in the same way you show, without pinning. Looking forward to your next film! Happy Valentines Day, Julia! ❤️

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Eva, I’ve been wanting to try a circle. I’m going to look into it. Thanks so much for watching!

[@brendabiffibaldovino8306]

❤❤❤

[@pamketron]

Hi Julia - The curves add a pretty wave to the whole fabric piece. Really pretty. Can’t wait to see the next video. Would be pretty to use earthy color fabrics and make a journal cover and add cutout trees or birds to it. Happy Day! Hugs.

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Pam! How are you doing? I know how cold it is in TN. I am so thankful we got out of MN for a few weeks. It was -29’ this morning- no thank you! My computer is on the blinks ( why is it always something? ) so my videos may be lacking. I ordered a new cord and hoping that’s all it is. I am so not technical- lol. Have a good week!

[@pamketron]

@@stitchesbyjulia It’s rained for 4 days now and more to come. Really rough on my Fibro. Freezing temps tonite. I’m so ready for warm and sunny days. Glad you got to get away. Enjoy the warm weather. Hope that fixes your computer. I’m the same way. No idea for computer problems or fixes!!! Big Hugs! ☀️💕 🥶❄️

[@karenbearden6198]

Thanks, I've wondered how to do this you answered my questions. Really want to see projects you do with this.:)

[@janetwest8379]

Hi Julia, I am also a fan of Jean Wells. I have been trying some of her techniques, problem I ran into was the fabric moving, I noticed that you did not have this issue. Do you have ant tips. As always your tutorials are wonderful.. TFS!

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Janet, I had some problems with the fabric shifting while cutting my curves. Cutting one layer at a time helped me. At the sewing machine, only stitch a short distance and then realign the edges. It’s pretty easy once you get started. Thanks so much for your encouragement!
