Make a Reverse Appliqué Snowflake Quilt with Rob

[@lynngal8819]

Fantastic wall hanging/quilt idea. Now I really know how to make a snowflake. Rob thank you so much for your up beat attitude. I know I can do anything after watching you. Thanks

[@monicashahatit8211]

My daughter is such a snowflake girl, I would love to surprise her wit h this. I hope I can follow you and make it right. She is not easy to please, but, come on, it's a Snowflake. Beautiful. Thank u.

[@christastegemann9031]

Just want to tell you how much I loved your Snowflake Quilt. I had to immediately try to make one and it turned out beautifully. Thanks Rob. Christa on Vancouver Island Canada

[@maryredick9894]

I love this tutorial! I used to teach my students how to cut a six sided snowflake using a circle, and I think it would look great using a circle on a square background, in a smaller scale! Another item on my "to do" list!

[@ManSewingVids]

Awesome! Can't wait to see what you create, Mary!

[@sherrymihalek7838]

Love this method of snowflake applique. I am seeing this for a table runner or pillows . Smaller would be good practice for the larger project, Thank you Rob.

[@Suz.At.The.Lake.Quilts]

Rob, Great food for thought in this video. I can see taking it in so many directions but first I have to figure out how I can deal with the fabric thickness and still produce six sided snow flakes. I used to teach my math classes how to do six sided flakes every Christmas. Pinterest has some incredible examples of beautiful snowflakes for those who need inspiration. And don't tell anyone, but during exam times at University I would treat myself to chocolate bars wrapped in silver and gold foil and make snowflakes out of the foil for my windows, LOL!

[@vedabrunero2214]

How could anyone not 'like' Rob's videos, they're fantastic. I might try this on a smaller scale though, 45" is a bit too big for me🤗

[@ManSewingVids]

Glad you enjoyed the tutorial, Veda! :) I think this could easily be turned into pillows or some fun table toppers! Have fun sewing!

[@carolinechaney3287]

Love this Rob. I also loved your lil quip about duck tape in the wind! Lol, I've never heard that one b4 :)

[@brendastuntz1727]

I am absolutely in love with this project!! I will now have to make one for our Nutcracker ballet silent auction. maybe a ballerina shilouett in a corner to finish it off.. oh the ideas are turning!! thank you for the great projects! oh and I also wanted to say that you can also download snowflake maker apps to practice how you want your cuts before you cut your fabric. happy sewing!

[@ManSewingVids]

That sounds awesome, Brenda!! Be sure to share a photo of your project with me on Facebook! Thanks for the tip about the snowflake apps! Have fun sewing!

[@Coldfusion1205]

What an awesome project! Thank you!

[@SundaysChild100]

I really like this Rob. I think a scrap buster would be small squares of snowflakes

[@janetcozens4623]

Hi there Rob brilliant as alway's and thank you for sharing (smile)

[@JeanetteAC]

Looks like fun, I am going to try this. You may have mentioned this but it would probably be a good idea to practice cutting your designs with paper first.

[@ManSewingVids]

Yes! I definitely recommend practicing with some paper before cutting into your fabric. Hope you have fun cutting and sewing! :)

[@kariowens9910]

Thank you so much! I learned a lot from this video. Love your style!

[@gaylelucas5909]

What a fun project!

[@ramonacooper6131]

I love this project!

[@catherinegreen7003]

🤗 Beautiful Quilt❇🤗 I Love that it's an old technique* that we've all done as Children ❇ It looks fairly complicated* & who would guess seeing this Quilt & not knowing the process that it's something that came from our Childhood ❇ I'd Love 2 see this Quilt in High Contrast Batiks ❇ Solids or Vibrant Prints❇ Great Job ❇ Thanks a 💰💲Million💲💰 4 Sharing ❇ 🤗🤗🤗

[@ManSewingVids]

Glad you enjoyed the tutorial, Catherine!

[@cherylspecioso4315]

That is so coo!. Can't wait to try this. Thank You for sharing.

[@maggiefreeman6513]

Fantastic! Never seen this before. I want to make one right now! It looks like so much fun! 😀 thanks.

[@Amal2365]

Beautiful idea 👍🏻😍😍

[@mickyroman9315]

Love this! How cute.

[@carol-anncox759]

looks really fun.

[@gardengate1339]

Amazing!

[@dianamay6017]

Really good idea

[@teresacarlyle1311]

Love it .. Very clever

[@luciamcgill63]

Love, Love, Love

[@marvellaporte7025]

Love this how cool Rob. Is it really harder if you do curves? All my snowflakes were all curvy; not into the geometric shapes that much. The edges are just too sharp for my taste. Not that I don't love yours, but it does take all kinds. I think you are wonderful with everything you do. Have a great day.

[@ManSewingVids]

Hi Marvel! Every snowflake is unique! I don't think there would be any issues with cutting curves into the snowflake appliqué.

[@hildavalbuena9597]

Lindo trabajo. felicitaciones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@AnaPaula-xp2dk]

Que trabalho fantástico, ameiiiii

[@FoggyHollowMan]

Great idea.

[@sandracedar368]

Very cool! Thank you🤗🥰🦩

[@rebeccaturner5503]

Just a thought... I think I would leave it folded in half and remove the paper backing on 1/2 pat that side down and then do the other side... love the idea

[@ManSewingVids]

Great idea, Rebecca!

[@helgy2009]

Very cool!

[@Stoffmonster467]

This is great!!!

[@sharonmiller4275]

think I'll start small and then go bigger.. like mug rugs first

[@ManSewingVids]

I think that's a great idea! Have fun sewing!

[@eliscanfield3913]

I did a small block like this years ago. It was fun :)

[@ellegroover]

Hey Rob! Got a question for ya. I'm getting close to begin quilting and/or FMQ on my very first quilt...💃🏼 😂 (& it's a queen size). I may have bitten off too much cuz the machine I have sits on my large sewing table however it's not flush with the table. I have an accessory piece for my machine that works like a Sew Steady but I really don't think it's substantial enough for so much bulk. Do you have any ideas as to how I could ..get a great price for a long arm 😂 OR "quilt-as-you-go" (which I've never done before & you could do a tutorial 👍) OR just struggle along in hopes that it doesn't look completely awful. Make sense? I need your brainpower! 💪

[@ladyd54]

Would be a great way to create a snow falling sky for a quilt design.

[@sewistnotsewer]

What a cool technique! Where did you get the giant piece of fusible web?

[@reinadegrillos]

Genius.

[@EuphemiaGrubb]

Last year I had one heck of a time doing snowflake applique, but is was because I had to stick to the six sided pattern that nature decreed and not four. I'm probably just being a bit pedantic about it! LOL!

[@thebeehivebuzz9884]

This is so nice! I think I will start small too, maybe a table runner, or wall hanging. By the way, what brand of seam guide to you use on your machine?

[@ManSewingVids]

Fantastic! I hope you have fun making this! I use the seam guide that came on my machine, but I also really like to use this one: www.missouriquiltco.com/shop/detail/67125/brewer/-/seam-guide-magnetic-large-with-handle

[@renee6738]

What did you do with all the pieces you cut? I envision laying the pieces out on a white or silver cotton, ironing and free motion quilting around each one. Please post what you create with the cut-out pieces.

[@ManSewingVids]

Hi Renee! I haven't made anything with my scraps. Thanks for the idea of how to use them!

[@marilyncooper7598]

o you starch your fabric before putting out to use?

[@angelikaimnaehglueck]

Good idea, it looks nice - but snowflaces have 6 parts!

[@debracushing2816]

Rob, How about a reverse applique heart?

[@ManSewingVids]

That's a fun idea! Thank you for sharing, Debra! :)

[@carolebowers9987]

This is a lot like a Hawaiian appliqué quilt.

[@mollykatzenmeyer6063]

Not a bad concept for a quilt, Hawaiian, but this is no snowflake.

[@ManSewingVids]

Hi Molly! Thanks for the feedback! My favorite thing about snowflakes is that each one is different! Thanks for watching!

[@tigerlilly393]

I know that sooner or later we all will be wearing glasses, particularly those who quilt or sew constantly, but unfortunately, I myself find the ones that rob now wears to be so distracting. It looks like he has a one man eyebrow, as the black distinctively only frames the top which looks weird. I just don't think it reads well on camera. But if he thinks he looks good wearing them then all the power to him.

[@PCOH051610]

Tiger Lilly I'm sorry that all you got out of this video was your dislike of his eyeglasses.

[@tigerlilly393]

PCOH051610 ....No need to apologise it was just an observation and an opinion. But like I said I found my self to be distracted by them when ever the camera was on him which didn't allow me to get into the project he was trying to teach. I'm sure if I were to watch him a lot more whilst wearing them then perhaps it may grow on me and I won't be so distracted. But not all glasses suit all faces... that's why there is such a variety of choices in glasses out there. Perhaps they weren't the best choice for him that's all. But if he wears them because he thinks their cool then that's his choice. It was just constructive feedback that's all.
