[@donnabailey947]

It is so wonderful to watch you sew and listen to you without the music from hell. I wish all tutorials or videos would do that. So many folks would love it.

[@cindybundrick3469]

Love your videos!

[@elaineadair]

I just finished my first New York Beauty - thanks to YOU and good vibes and instructions. I watched Lesson 1 and 2 and 3 last night and was successful with making the block. 8-)))

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Can you send me a picture? would love to see it. you can send it to my email [e-mail]

[@brendapeterson2624]

I love your videos. You make it seem like I could maybe make a complicated quilt like that. Keep up the good work

[@vanessaodomsellsmansions]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I had no idea how to start this quilt pattern. Your tutorial removed my fears. Thank you very much.

[@miriamayala5757]

As someone born and raised in New York this will be a homage to my NY roots..thanks for a great tutorial :)

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

You are so welcome!

[@Carylanne927]

Thanks to your teaching the method I too feel confidant that the beauties will be done . with the added 1/8" I know I can make my blocks the right size. TY again for clear instructions.

[@HRHDMKYT]

Wonderful tips -- like spray sizing/starch, and adding a 1/8" "fudge factor" to the outside edges of all the block pieces. I've always done that myself, and it sure has come in handy to get consistently-sized paper pieced blocks! Thanks for your video.

[@jomohund]

Finally, a good tutorial on curve piecing! Most sites and videos gloss over this topic, or skip it entirely, or use a technique that is SOOOO complex it makes a head spin. This was straightforward and easy to understand...thank you so much!

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Thank you!! Nancy

[@sharihammel3644]

Thank you so much, you have answered many of my questions, excellent tutorial.

[@cindyherget5196]

Excellent ! Wonderfully taught I will still refer back to this when it’s time to paper piece. Thank you for making these videos available

[@angelajarvis6955]

Love.. love.. your tips!!

[@charlenehicks6486]

I love the way you teach, you are so easy to understand. And your work is beautiful. I could watch you all day!

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Charlene Hicks thanks 😁. I would love to teach all day!

[@SewJoyful]

My NYB arches didn’t match up with each 1/4 sections but I loved the process! I’m motivated to keep trying. Thank you for your tutorials 🤗

[@janicemcqueen9317]

Thank you for this tutorial, it was excellent as are all your tutorials. Regards from New Zealand

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

You're very welcome!

[@mainacht3509]

Great tutorial as always. Thanks, Nancy.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mariod7473]

I want to get into NEB quilts so I will be watching your videos over and over...thank you.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Please do!

[@phyllisanastasiades1048]

Great video. Well done!

[@michelesalazar3279]

I have the Lady Liberty Pattern it's the same pattern. I did it in red, white and blue with some yellow. I have not pieced it together, It was so much fun to do especially picking out the fabric

[@eunicehartley9084]

Beautiful!!

[@brendaryan306]

I see such crazy fabrics consistently being used on this block. I'm thinking this is what those with ugly fabric should use for a delightful outlet.

[@SewJoyful]

Absolutely adore all the color color color of your NYB blocks! I’ve just discovered your tuts & sew inspired! Thank you 😊

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Thanks!!

[@quiltbat]

Great tutorial. It gave me the confidence to plunge into my NY Beauty curves. Thanks, Nancy!

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Go For It😀

[@cheetahsews]

Nancy! Nancy! Nancy! Love your videos and your teaching! New York Beauty is my favorite and now I am going to make them your way. Keep up the great videos! Thanks from sunny Florida!

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Hi Kiki - thanks!!!!!!!! we did just post a pattern on our website www.onpoint-tv.com too.

[@carolvanleer3386]

Thanks so much for the NY Beauty block pattern. I've got my Tim Holtz fabric, and I'm ready to try it.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Carol Van Leer - can’t wait to see what you made 😃

[@marthagivens6314]

Super helpful!

[@carolvanleer3386]

Great video. You make it look do-able. 😊

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Carol - it is doable :) - and we just posted a pattern on our website www.onpoint-tv.com that might be a great place to start.

[@jimsqueenie]

Love, love, love your teachings, Nancy! Keep up the great work!!! I refer many people to your site.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Thanks Vicki - i really appreciate the shares and encouragement :)

[@jimsqueenie]

You definitely deserve them. Very professional. Great teacher. I love the New York Beauty quilt and will follow your instructions. I have a "Craftsy" class that teaches that and haven't even used it. I have bought about 200 classes and haven't used any of them. Makes me very sad but I was in a sad place in my life, at the time, and had a very difficult time with everything. I am not there anymore, PTL!!

[@normajeanr50]

Nancy, I have wanted to make a large New York Beauty for years. I made a few blocks for a small wall quilt but stopped because I was having difficulty with them being to small. Thank you so much for all the tutorials on this amazing design. I love your videos. Thanks you, I have regained my confidence to start again!!!!

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Fabulous!!

[@dijones2441]

Beautiful beautiful beautiful 😘

[@nickibair999]

Love the videos. So helpful. My problem consists of finding a pattern to do..

[@kimjohnson3110]

Great video! I’ve got to make a couple of these in a block of the month and had no idea how to do them. Love your videos!!

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Glad you like them!

[@elaineadair]

Just finished my 7th NYB blocks - using your method, esp. the part about making the outside edges 1/8 in. wider. My patterns (freezer paper) are not lasting long enough, only about 3-4 pieces. Perhaps I am expecting them to stick too well? Anyway I followed your suggestions along with a Karen Stone book I have and the result is just wonderful. I guess I needed your video to get moving and MAKE them! My goal is to make 1-2 each day, for a small quilt. I am using the same colors in each block - not necessarily the same fabrics, and really liking the results. BIG thank you!

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Elaine, we should would love to see your results and post them to our viewers - could you be willing to share? you could send them to my email [e-mail]

[@janetflint8202]

I just made my first new York beauty. I can't seem to find freezer paper in the grocery stores here any more, so I used a fabric glue stick with just a spot here and there to hold them down. I also used it instead of pins when I was sewing.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Whatever works :)

[@user-ew2ih8wz4e]

Красота!!!

[@user-fy8bq2iv1q]

Красиво! Спасибо!👍

[@HRHDMKYT]

(That means "Thank You!" "Beautiful!" :-)

[@eunicehartley9084]

I have never tried paper piecing. Would love to try but wondering if I should start with something easier. You make it look so easy, I’m tempted to go for it.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Hi Eunice - I think the tulip is a great one to start with, that’s why it’s in my Learning to Quilt book 😀

[@eunicehartley9084]

OnPoint-TV Thanks Nancy. I will take a look. I love your tutorials.

[@Qsquires]

Nancy, would you consider a video on auditioning fabrics for a New York Beauty quilt? Hardest part of the quilting selection for me.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Hi Hilma - i will keep this in mind, but have you seen the video Gina and i did at the quilt shop where i explain how i pick my fabrics? might be worth a watch :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6fcq4iYipyjotU

[@susanglynn7189]

Hi Nancy! Just found your channel and I love it been binge watching all of your videos especially the New York Beauty. Absolutely beautiful I have a question for you. Do you add an eighth of an inch on all of your paper piecing or just the New York beauty?

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Hi Susan :) - thanks!! Generally speaking I do not add the 1/8" cushion around all paper piecing blocks - but you could. i find that the NYB block has more of a tendency to have odd edges after piecing the curves together so that's why it helps so much. If the paper piece pattern is all straight edges you don't generally have the issue with the block not coming out the correct size. Hope this helps :)

[@doreenplascencia9559]

Is there a video tutorial on sewing the New York Beauty blocks and how you suggest borders, bindings etc. Also, what templates do you suggest for this quilt?

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Hi Doreen, you can see all the construction of the New York Beauty blocks on our channel. here is the link to the play list for all four episodes - kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKSxhYZqmL10rqM and we have done many tutorials on borders - here is just a few: EP 203kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGfRoqdjg7ujoJokzbin.info/www/bejne/sKi4gZaph7pjhqs EP 204kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3itgHqvfLKegdU MITEREDkzbin.info/www/bejne/raWtk3ytgZqal5o PIANO KEYkzbin.info/www/bejne/h3XEY3WDh96Za5I enjoy!!

Great Video !!! Where do I get the pattern?

Hey nance where can I get the pattern for this quilt or block from please thankyou from uk

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Hi Louise - I just added my New York Beauty pattern to my website - it is available as an epattern or as a hard copy - I might cost too much for me to send you the hard copy but I will if you want me to :) www.onpoint-tv.com/product-category/patternsandbooks/

[@cynthiamonfee5673]

What type of iron are you using

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

That is my Oliso Iron - love it!

[@IAMThankYou4BeingYou]

Tried to ask a question on website. It just said someone would get back to me.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

IAMThankYou4BeingYou Hi. I’m sorry we missed your question. Could you email me at [e-mail]. I’ll get right back with you - Nancy

[@joannenardoni17]

You make it look so easy, it’s not, practice practice

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

It's not really practice Joanne - it's just a matter of making one then another then another and ever time you will find it to be easier and easier - most of all, have fun creating! :) Nancy

[@nannettjordan671]

I'd like to know how to get the templates. I know you said yours was freezer paper. But they had to be traced from a plastic templet. Can you tell me the name of the actual template? Thank you

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Hi Nannett, they are not plastic templates - they come off the Electric Quilt program.

[@nannettjordan671]

I don't have EQ. Any idea how I could get the pattern or template without the EQ?

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

@@nannettjordan671 My pattern is available at www.onpoint-tv.com/product/nancys-new-york-beauty/ for $5.95. Let me know if I can help in any way. Email me at [e-mail]

Here is the link to the website and the pattern for the New York Beauty :) www.onpoint-tv.com/product/nancys-new-york-beauty/

[@quiltingfanatic1459]

A mic isn’t that expensive. It would make your videos sooooo much better, and professional.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

We do now have a mic, I hope you appreciate the "new" sound :)

[@christiegilmore8494]

You make that look way too easy. LOL

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Hi Christie - i don't know that i would say it's easy but it is doable - try it - you will like it :)
