It's so funny how you can learn great tips just from watching someone sew. I saw how you quickly removed your pins on to the bed of your sewing machine and then......you brought your magnetic pin holder to the pins, turned it over and....viola....all the pins were picked up. It was one of those "duh" moments for me because I always pick them up and put them on the pin holder. Thank you!

[@gwynwellliver4489]

Just remembered that I have two small jelly rolls from a sew sampler box. I never used them, because I didn't like the pastel colors. This will be a great way to use them for a quilt for someone who likes those colors! Sometimes you have to stitch out of your comfort zone to make someone happy! It looks like I'll be making two of these: a Christmas one for me and a cute one for a mystery recipient. Thanks Kimberly and FQS!

[@MarciaBaker1205]

I love watching you sew, Kimberly. I'm a visual learner & seeing how you pin & handle the fabric really helps me. Thank you for the great video & thanks to Lilly for filming ❤

[@nitap77]

Kimberly - I love your blouse. You always dress so nice but I think this one has to be my favorite because of the Cut out eyelet lace.

[@susankrebs1976]

I can’t wait to make it! I have my fabric but am one of THOSE people that don’t like surprises. I need to see the whole thing before I begin! I have faithfully watched the videos each week.

[@staci1159]

You're not the only one!! I'm waiting, too! :)

[@clombard7134]

I've learned so much from you! Starch, yes. Trim before, now I do. Design board, got it! Trim after, ok! Thanks Kimberly!

[@judymarketos621]

What fun this has been! There were certainly a few surprises along the way. I am looking forward to next week.

[@jaydeedee1191]

I agree about the design board, being a visual learner. This has got to be the easiest way🥰

[@melissaszafranski9271]

Never thought I would starch a jelly roll, but gave it a shot this time and SO HAPPY 😀. Worked 👍🏼 great. Also, one of my least favorite things about precuts, jelly rolls in particular, are the pinked edges and figuring out if you use the top or bottom of peak, it can be different each time. Glad to see someone else cutting them to size, thought it was just me.

[@sunflowerterry]

I agree about cutting to size. I have such a problem otherwise. I feel like Kimberly gave me permission! I will have to try starching too.

[@kitchencookable]

. I don’t think we can say enough thanks for showing us tricks and tips for piecing. I have so many half done quilts because I am frustrated in not getting them to align properly etc. I will in the future. Am going slower but more accurate. 👍🏻

[@roxysherburne9027]

Dear Kimberly: Your expertise and the way you are so precise matches my ethics so I just love your style on your videos. They are Super Fantastic! I've learned more from you in the last 4 weeks of watching than with anyone else. I've got two out of the 4 blocks done for Week 4 and have they other 2 ready to pin and sew tomorrow. Impeccable! Thank you so much, Kimberly!

[@delilahcarbajal6734]

I’m so excited. I’m caught up. Now I can finish this block. This is my first sew along. I took plunge to try it.

[@ninagillenwater4502]

So Pretty.....Thank you for showing us 'exactly' how to set it up and put it together! Have a Lovely Day!!

[@stitchedbysasha]

Thank you so much for making these videos. I’m really enjoying sewing along each week.

[@momgrandma5496]

Sweet fabric, looking forward to seeing the quilt in all it’s Wintry 🥶 glory. ❄️

[@marlenecollier8979]

Thanks for the video, I tried trimming my jelly roll strip for block 3 and it really helped with the accuracy of the block. I will be doing this in the future. Thanks for the tip! The mystery sew along has been fun!

[@SmittenKitten.]

I'm still waiting for the finished product to start! Hahaha!! I'm so picky about where my colors are that I'm afraid once I get to the final step, things will just look wrong. I'm REALLY fun at spontaneous parties... If by "fun" you meaning "hiding in the bathroom." ;)

[@sherrymiller4069]

This is the first time doing this way. Very easy for me to follow along. Learning how to sub cut was new to me. Thanks so much for the videos!

[@pialibiswas4791]

Thank you Kimberly & FQS!!

[@angelastoutenger7944]

Thanks for the video Kimberly. Now I need to get busy cutting!

[@kymburriss4260]

Thank you for sharing this. I'm downloading the patterns for later. It's going to be a beautiful quilt

[@joansouthworth9687]

I am learning so much from watching this video! I usually don’t do any traditional piecing because it never turns out right. Now I see some things I do wrong. Starch is 1 thing....carefully pinning is another. But most of all is how gently Kimberly handles the blocks! And of course clipping the threads! My EPP quilt has machine piecing sashing and the back is a huge royal mess of threads!

[@denisepineda1788]

Thanks, Kimberly! I blocks in this quilt. Great jobT1

SO LOVE your sew alongs. TY. Is the pressor foot that you are using specific to your machine?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Julianna! The presser foot Kimberly used is specific to Juki machines.

[@lorettahenderson8979]

[@lisastokes366]

I bought my jelly roll from FQS but after it was starched, it is barely 2.5 inches. I used the same starch and method Kimberly does. Any suggestions? I am looking to do a project also with Honey Bun rolls and was wondering if I should starch them as well.

[@amiablecrafter]

Kim, can you please clarify the fabric used for the background? The link below says off white but somewhere I saw the code number linking it to white. Thanks! I just got the jelly roll in the mail today so excited to make!!

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Amy! The fabric used for the background was off white.

Hello Judy! Our design boards are available here: www.fatquartershop.com/nsearch/?q=design+board

[@stitchpenniesofficial]

I am loving that presser foot for 1/4” seam. Is it specific to your brand of machine, or is it universal? I have a Janome. TIA 💕

[@stephanniemarquette7686]

I saw some at Joanns for Brothers and Singers, and even a couple "universal" unbranded 1/4" inch foot, so I guess it depends on the type of connection a Janome uses

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

The foot that Kimberly is using is specific to Juki machines.

[@stitchpenniesofficial]

Stephannie Marquette I’m pretty new to sewing but my Janome uses snap-on feet. The feet have a side-to-side groove and I lower the shank (?) and the bar snaps into the groove. I hope I explained that well enough.

[@marybaldassin2416]

Couldn’t you just make strip sets and then cut them so you don’t have to sew so many squares together?

[@debbiebrugman1289]

Debbie Brugman I have really enjoyed making this MYSTERY quilt and was looking forward to next week’s final layout. That is until a few minutes ago. I had not gone to the instagram once to look at other peoples blocks. Today I decided to do that. What I found was very sad. Why? Because some people had sewen their blocks together (which is great) but they also felt the need to post photos of their completed quilt tops and ruin the SURPRISE layout for me and I’m sure a few others. It is supposed to be a MYSTERY! A SURPRISE! That’s why quilters join in these things. It’s a MYSTERY quilt-a-long. We don’t want to know. We don’t “peek”. Why is it some feel the need to be first? So, if you want to still be surprised for next week’s layout stay away from instagram. My humble opinion.

[@karenmilligan3590]

Pressing seams from top of fabric hides what you are doing.
