Tip: the furry cuddle is best cut from the back with a craft knife with fresh blade. It gives far less furry dust and another advantage is that after sewing you have a way better possibility of covering the seam with the “border fur”.

I fall in love with Jenny again & again when I watch her tutorials. Brilliant teacher!

[@AFriendlyWeirdo]

This bear didn't want to wrestle you either! I've probably already said it but I'm so glad I found this channel, you make quilting so easy to understand and take the intimidation out of it! I've made 3 now and 2 more in the works!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Leah Bear haha that's so funny! :) We're happy that you have learned a lot from our tutorials. What quilts have you made?? We would love to see! Share them with us on our Facebook page!

[@missmike007]

What a great quilt. I love that it comes in a kit. No fussin' with matching prints. . I've been sewing and quilting for over 40 years. But, Jenny never fails to teach me a few tips and tricks from each video. Love, Love Love Jenny and MSQC! I love getting cute little notes via email when I order and with my order when it comes.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

missmike007 Thanks for the kind words! I'm so glad you enjoy the tutorials and service, we love having awesome customers!

[@debbiepack3935]

Jenny, you make everything look so easy. Thanks for the motivation.

[@tykematlack7588]

Jenny I love your laugh!

[@cakemakingnanny]

I have made loads and loads of quilts but always hand stitched the binding. I never knew I could use a serpentine stitch instead of hand stitching which is a long, long job at times and very tedious. Thank you for these videos and the wonderful tips. I hadn't quilted for about ten years and you rekindled my love for this craft. Very kind regrards.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Phyllis Haxton I'm so happy you learned something new and have begun to quilt again! Thanks for watching! :)

[@emymorrison8744]

I giggled as you pointed out that you were using pins(I was thinking the same thing!) because its so rarely happens! :D

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

[@janetcobb5908]

Is enjoyed very much very helpful

[@bleegal9296]

I love these quilts.

[@grams5580461]

I love this quilt. This would also be cute in cotton.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Judy Jensen thank you! It wouldn't be as soft, but it would have a striking look!!

[@janestewart3002]

I am getting ready to sew with cuddle for the first time. I always have trouble judging the width of the seam allowance when I use my walking foot so I think that I am going to take the time to use my ruler and chalk marker and draw 1/2" seam allowance lines in from both cut edges of my strips to keep my seam allowances straight as I sew them onto the quilt top. Also I read on Shannon fabric website that using a Schmetz 90/14 stretch needle is helpful to prevent skipped stitches but I bet that since there is batting in there, any 90/14 or larger universal needle would work since there are so many layers to sew through.

[@christophervincenzo1831]

I know im randomly asking but does someone know a way to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost my password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.

[@chalkcouturedesignerjanazu5924]

So cute..thanks so much!

[@helgy2009]

I would love to see a tut on that appliqued giraffe quilt. It is so cute! Thanks for this video. Also a lint roller is good to have when sewing with cuddle fabric.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

helgy2009 great idea! :) In the meantime, here is a link to that kit!! land.missouriquiltco.com/cuddle-kits/

Aren't they darling?? :)

[@karenhough8398]

Thank you so much Jenny for these step by step instructions. The video with the kit is not very good at all. I love you. 🤗😘

[@Belladalma]

Que trabalho lindo... Obrigada pelas dicas... Acompanho os vídeos, fico encantada com os quilts... 🤩 (Im from Brasil)

[@Jennyjacq]

I LOVE this! So adorable! I recently purchased a Singer One Plus and I'm trying to learn how to quilt! I've watched ALL of MSQC ' S videos multiple times. Jenny is an excellent teacher! I've started 2 projects I have not finished yet because I botch them up with my 1/4" seem allowances. I'm sewing soo crooked. :(

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Jennyjacq you'll get the hang of it! Finished if better than perfect! :)

[@Jennyjacq]

Oh I am getting better! You've seen my Marvel Comic Book Orange peel quilt on Instagram. It's gorgeous! :) I'm very proud of myself. ;))

[@lovelyleija]

You make it look so easy. mime is always wavy

[@junehawley5903]

You are great

[@dollieschuster9106]

Love this! Thank you so much!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Dollie Schuster you are so very welcome!! :)

[@barbarahollis3246]

I would have moved the machine onto the CUTTING table, more room! Well watching to the end, I see u did! U r the best Jenny! HAPPY New Year it's now 2018 !!

[@bobbiewilliams7533]

use press and seal sheets that you use in the kitchen to cover dishes you want to refrigerate.. it keeps the dust from going everywhere and you can sew over it and it peels right off when you're done...

[@hahalex21]

I've made several baby blankets using that cuddle fabric, and while it is super soft and adorable, it's a PAIN to sew. Lots of pins and a walking foot are definitely key as I've found the fabric likes to slip and stretch as you sew it.

[@DenisePoole-Closet-Crafts]

Wow that is so good and to video and deal with the fabric is hard work so thank you Jenny. Would you be able to do a video all about working with cuddle fabric / minky / fleece not necessary make a quilt just hints tips and washing. Some say you must wash first some say not, there is so much conflicting advice about dealing and working with these fabrics I feel you would be the best person to do this. Love the video Thank you

[@tiateresa1985]

it reminds me of my Grandma paper piecing

[@not_today_satan_7]

you remind me of me when I'm quilting

[@bebepoppy1604]

Love your cuddle quilt. The pillow and elephant are both darling. Do you have a quick tutorial for the pillow? Maybe some directions and measurements we could print? Thanks, Deb

[@maplelassuk]

So beautiful! I am still not sure how the binding works...As in stitches showing on the right side! I will search to see if you have a tutorial on that method x

[@ladyd54]

How about using your glue stick instead of the glue spray to hold down those strips? I would also draw a line denoting the middle of quilt so you don't have to keep finding the middle of the strip on the quilt top. Also, I would denote on the batting the direction of the nap so you make sure the strips are going in the correct nap direction.

[@GrrannyH1]

Jenny -- you have a big flat surface, i.e. your cutting table. Put your sewing table on the other side of the cutting table and the cutting table will support the weight of the quilt!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

GrrannyH1 wonderful idea!! Thank you!!!

[@aleneknox7369]

I noticed that you took off the walking foot that helps pull the fabric through, before you did the binding. So, is it taken off as you finish the long cuddle rows? Thanks! These would also made really cute scarfs for little girls.

[@arciafrench993]

Great sister project. Have you ever or will you do a stuffed bear quilt ? I have been asked to do memory bears from families cotton fabrics clothes. I see there is an adorable bear or elephant behind you on the shelf, that's why I inquired.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Arcia French I'll have to add that one to my list! :) Here is a link to get that elephant pattern! www.missouriquiltco.com/shop/detail/32520/carol-cruise-company/carols-zoo/carols-elephant-family-pattern

[@leedefries946]

That is so cute I loved that pillow is there a pattern for that?

[@patriciathomashefsky7802]

I always keep a lint brush and roll on edges after cutting. also to clean up mat.

[@queenopearls]

Fun!!! Do you also make sure all the binding cuddle cloth has nap going the same way? Is that even possible? Is it on the bias or just strips? :) Thanks!!

[@shawna1805dec]

hi! I had a quick question. I bought the cuddle kit and am about to buy the backing fabric. Do you think I could put flannel as the backing instead of minky? And if so would that change anything in terms of sewing it together?

[@debramclaughlin9426]

try using the spray... left spots on my quilt... after i was done i washed it.. most came out... thank god.. maybe used to much.. will try again.

[@birdieellenberis6741]

How did you make that cute cuddle pillow. My grand daughter would love this because she loves everything that is soft. Thank you for showing this. Love your videos.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Birdie Ellen Beris thank you!! I'll have to do a tutorial on that pillow! :) It's so fun!

[@bethmoulds6981]

I love them quilts I would like to know how to back them

[@audreymilot4316]

I bought one of these kits and ended up throwing it away. I wish I would have seen this tutorial before because I really did like the cuddle material.

[@nicolederoo]

Question: is it helpful to use a stretch needle?

[@kimcarr-clemons4931]

should have showed how to adhere the batting and backing

[@lindapark4289]

Question...Jenny, you said that the binding is applied the same as a regular binding. Does that mean that the seam allowance is 1/4" or is it the same 1/2" seam as the rest of the quilt?

[@allergiesrusdb]

I love their quilt kits and fabrics!! #cuddleaddict. Is that a Martelli table you are using?! 😊

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Kelley Hornberger we do too!! :) So much fun to work with! Also, the table is a Koala Studios.

[@dayleeneiselein5310]

I am going to make 5 of these for Christmas for my nephews and my sons. I do not plan on using batting, just cuddle on cuddle. Are there any tips I need to know about? I am hoping it goes together fairly easily!

[@babescraftroom]

I love the ladybugs. So tell me, how fluffy did you get? lol.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

babescraftroom we do too! :) It was VERY fluffy! We loved it!

[@bonnieellison7759]

What kind of thread is best? What kind of batting did you use?

[@annielyst]

I bought a cuddle quilt kit over 10 years ago and have yet to make it . This video is so helpful. Did you use a topstitch needle?

[@ko8763]

Love this so much and I love the cuddle elephant, too! Do you mind sharing where you got the elephant pattern? I just may have to make one of those for my sewing room. =)

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Kimberley O'Rourke here is a link!! :) land.missouriquiltco.com/cuddle-kits/

[@welshwitch2126]

I bought one of these kits at quilt festival Houston, but I haven't made it yet. I didn't want to use the spray in the house. Can you use fusible batting instead of using the 505?

[@gwenlowe9739]

Is it better to back a minky quilt with minky or will flannel work as well?

[@jeanfrederic1377]

Could this be made without batting to keep it lighter weight?

[@cathywilson3551]

do you need to buy a special walking foot for your type of machine or will they work interchangeably. ?? and as far as this fabric...worked with this fabric before and did not like it- results fine but too fussy. - especially when you can't iron it.

[@gail020759]

Is this a raw edge on the binding on the back? How much Cuddle is left from kit once the quilt is done (just eyeball - lots, little, etc.)? THANKS!!!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Gail Kantz the fabric can be cut in different way, so it varies for everyone on how much extra there is. :)

[@donvickiewilson1033]

Can anyone tell me if I should wash the fabric before cutting?

[@sharonrosenfeld3548]

Why didn't you use the walking foot for the binding?

[@wendykrzak4627]

Where can i order these kits? Thank you.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

[@WhateverHunterLiz]

When you sew the binding and roll to the backside do you tuck it under or leave it raw edge?

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Liz Turney tuck it under!

[@pattyhinman8443]

what pattern was used for the elephant?

[@donnarichey144]

Cuddle is flannel?

[@arlenewatts6499]

For those of us who don't know, would someone explain what cuddle fabric is?

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Arlene Watts Cuddle or Minky is a special type of plush fabric that is often used to make baby blankets, baby clothing and baby accessories. Minky fabric is like fleece - but softer and thicker.

[@carmenelwood7237]

Is this cuddle cloth the same as minky fabric?

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Carmen Elwood yes it sure is! :)

[@ShariEllen]

I live in an apartment building (so I have no outside space) and I sneeze and choke from sprays. Could I do this with glue stick? or with a batting with iron-on basting? or some other way? Help me, Jenny and Cuddle people!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Shari Berkowitz maybe a light weight fusible web would work? Or you could even just pin, pin, pin!!! :)

[@ShariEllen]

so Cuddle can take an ironing?

[@stitchwishes499]

Sulky makes a more eco friendly spray that can be used indoors, but I find I still need to open windows. It also only sticks a day or two before dissipating, so use it right before you sew. Also for ~$22 you can get a mask respirator with replaceable filters, but I'd still open windows to air out the room.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Shari Berkowitz it's not recommended, especially if the fabric is embossed, but in a desperate situation it can be done.

[@Sew-web24]

I want

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Rachel Websdale they are really the softest things ever!! We love cuddle!!

[@lisal6382]

What batting did you use?

[@MissouriQuiltCo]
