Quilters Really Hate This, Cutting Out Pieces

[@craftingaplannedlifejoanna9291]

I'm in the minority, but I actually love to cut out quilts! I find fun in the challenge to see how conservative I can be to have as little waste as possible, and to add as much extra possible to my stash (or extra for 'oopsies')

[@MichelleFrazier-ze3xu]

me too!

[@carlabales5187]

@craftingaplannedlifejoanna9291 I really like the cutting for the piecing. But I really hate squaring up my blocks! 🤣 I don't know why I find it so annoying. But I've learned it's so necessary for the results I want.

[@craftingaplannedlifejoanna9291]

​@@carlabales5187 YES, squaring up is very important. I've really improved my accuracy the more I square up & check my piece sizes. It's so much more fulfilling when everything fits together & my blocks aren't all wonky.

[@leahholland6272]

Agree!

[@denisestilling2810]

Love the quilt!!!

[@theresathomas1400]

Back 55 years when we had to wear white uniforms as registered nurses we got out blood w alcohol swabs. Still use that trick🎉

[@simplyquiltingwithnancysanders]

I have used clorox wipes also

[@sisterchicksquilting]

And the starched caps, remember those? 😊 I’ll use alcohol or peroxide on a swab next time. Thanks Theresa😊🌺🐥

That flying geese method is known as the "No Waste Flying Geese Method." It's very popular just because of the no waste. Welcome into the wide world of quilting Liz, it's a fast train, hang on! 😆😂😍 Thanks for watching my channel!

[@terriolson9680]

That's so funny, I love cutting and piecing, pressing, sewing and even binding. I despise the sandwiching process and I'm not all that crazy about actually quilting! LOL

[@Vintage_Recreations]

Yes.

[@nursekate6772]

I'm the exact same way!! HATE making backings, hate the entire sandwiching process. DESPISE quilting. LOL If I could just cut, piece, and bind, I'd be the happiest quilter ever. 😂😂😂😂

Pour peroxide on the blood spot, it will remove the blood. It saved many of my nursing uniforms.. the quilt is really cute!! 🥰

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Thank you Lisa, I’ve so enjoyed hearing from you and so many other nurses about peroxide. I never knew that 😃 Thanks for watching my channel😊🌺🐥

[@pibbro1503]

Peroxide takes out blood - just moisten a ball of cotton, a piece of fabric, etc, and dab the blood gently. Continue applying every so often until it is gone. Doesn't harm fabric.

[@dannamcgowen3889]

Yep, it works! learned about this a long time ago when "Aunt Mabel" first came for her monthly visits. 😉

[@sisterchicksquilting]

[@suelambert5760]

Such a funny story, “fart away”! 🤣😂 I love precut quilt kits, I don’t mind cutting fabric. It’s the machine quilting that I struggle with. I really enjoy watching your videos, learn something new every time. I used to live in Bountiful, UT. I have a lot of family in ID, went to college in Rexburg, ID. I’m in WA state and we are getting smoke from OR fires also.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Looks like we’ve walked some of the same roads Sue.👍🏼 Ugh, that smoke, just when you think it’s gone another lightening strike fire happens. Can’t wait for it all to be over. Thanks for watching😊🌺🐥

[@patriciafranklin1955]

A lot of people watch KZbin on a television using a Roku or fire device. I use my phone, laptop and my Roku Tv so that’s why I know that some viewers don’t have access to the “contents below“ information. It’s frustrating I’m sure for them if they don’t also have a smart phone or computer. Just a note because many channels refer to the “information below” that some just don’t have.

[@dianakranning9843]

Thanks for telling us about the pre-cut quilt kits. Good thing to know since I am having issues with my wrists, about 10 years ago I smashed both of them and with working in an office for 40 years my wrists/hands hurt all the time. It is a truly beautiful quilt. I haven't made the no waste flying geese yet, but sure going to give it a try. Thank you for doing your tutorials, so enjoy them. Have a wonderful weekend!

Lovely quilt! I am so surprised the task was cutting though - surely it’s binding, ironing, or basting? Basting is my downfall - I have a bunch of tops ready but i can’t bring myself to baste them. 😂 Custom precut quilt kits do seem nice though! Using precut fabrics with the pinked edges isn’t always accurate so custom precut pieces sound nice.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

How did I not know about this company and pre-cut kits? I can not thank you enough for this link and coupon (yay) because this is a huge time saver for weekend sewing when I am starting to work on my Christmas gifts list. I immediately went to the site and found several fabulous kits and precut fabrics to get my Christmas gift marathon started. I always start in August and my weekends get jam packed with projects so it is an enormous time saver (wrist too) if I can just sew and go and knock out a quilt top in one day. I am loving the offerings on the site and bookmarked it for future orders to save time by getting precut quilt kits. Huge thank you for introducing this fantastic product into my quilting world. I love it!! And that spinning/rotating cutting mat is awesome too! Great video with lots of good ideas and information. Thank you again.

[@michele6708]

The complaints I hear most often from quilters are about basting and binding, not cutting, at least among people who don’t have mobility limitations. The cutting people complain about most is squaring up blocks and units after they have been sewn. I enjoy cutting, and most aspects of quilting. Basting is my nemesis, so I have many of my bigger quilts longarmed. That said, precut kits are an option for those who couldn’t otherwise quilt or for those who do hate the process. I am not willing to pay the upcharge though. I don’t even buy precuts except FQs anymore.

Cutting used to be my LEAST favorite part of the quilting process. Now starching is my least favorite part. While I like working with starched fabric, I really, really dislike the process. I know there are people who love the cutting. Kimberly Jolly, for instance, loves the cutting process. These precut kits look like a winner! My most recent quilt (it’s at the quilter’s!!!! Yay!!!) was a BOM set up for eight months. The pieces were mostly smaller so a bit less cutting. But tricky when you’re nervous about running out of fabric and making mistakes. However, my quilter said it was the prettiest thing I’ve ever done. Quilting is the most creative and enriching process!

April is right. Spit works. However, there is another solution. Mix hydrogen with water. (I use about one to one ratio). My son has a health issue that causes him to bleed all over his clothes and bedding. I also add a few drops of Dawn dish soap but I'm not sure it is necessary for small amounts.

I thought you were going to say basting! I absolutely DISLIKE it.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Yeah, I would think basting is a close second. That’s why I bought a long arm! Lol.😂🤣😂TFW😊🌺🐥

[@rosehixon2790]

Sister! I worked in a hospital and we always used hydrogen peroxide to wash out blood. It works every time even with our open-heart surgery patients who got blood on their huggy bears.❤❤❤

[@sisterchicksquilting]

I’m finding out from all the comments and all the nurses Rose that hydrogen peroxide is a great blood remover now I know. However, I was not gonna spit on it, that’s just too gross.TFW Rose❣️👍🏼😊🌺🐥

Any relation to Taffy and Rick?

I hope you and your spouse are doing well with all the fire smoke in your area. Audi C

[@sisterchicksquilting]

We are staying in a lot these days. The Paddock fire is way close and the smoke is awful. It’s crazy that August is “fire season” 🔥😳🔥 Thanks for caring😊🌺🐥

[@AvivaHadas]

love the idea, but I am "married" to my methods. :o)

[@sisterchicksquilting]

I wouldn’t change your methods either, Oh 🫅Queen of Scrappy👑 Don’t mess with perfection ❣️ TFW😊🌺🐥

[@bettycoffin4206]

Basting a quilt top with batt & backing is the pits.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

I agree that is the pits. But I do mine on the long arm, so I kind of cheat and I love it Betty❣️😀😊🌺🐥

[@cindygulley6829]

Hydrogen peroxide takes out blood. I practiced medicine for 25 years. This works great on any fabric and does not bleach the fabric

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Thanks, I’ve learned that from the comments. Now I know😊👍🏼 Thanks for watching Cindy 😊♥️🐥

[@gisellejones1139]

The engineer is makinfg fun of you again...😊...you slickster

[@sisterchicksquilting]

You should hear him laugh at himself and his jokes when he’s editing and putting those comments in. It’s pretty funny.🤣😊😀🌺🐥

[@MsDale1976]

Peroxide will take the blood out of white or colored fabric and not bleach out the color.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

I found this out from all the comments. Thanks for letting me know TFW😊🌺🐥

[@glendahays5377]

Saliva removes fresh blood instantly! Does not have to be your saliva on your blood. If you don’t see it to treat it immediately. It will take more saliva to get the blood out. It’s an enzyme in the saliva!

[@sisterchicksquilting]

I understand that Glenda, it’s just that I’m a gagger and probably couldn’t spit then scrub it into a blood spot with out losing my cookies. But thank you for your comment😊👍🏼🌺🐥

[@LeanneRobichaud]

Peroxide takes out fresh blood, like magic!

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Thanks I didn’t know but I do now 😊🌺🐥

I am 60 years young, and have arthritis( caused from electrical work not quilting), and have quilted for at least 50 of those years and I have NEVER gotten "sore" cutting out my quilts. If you do you probably need to rethink the way you are cutting and what you are cutting with. What i do hate is precut quilt kits, the pieces are rarely accurate and most precut quilts are not the most attractive of fabrics. But this is just personal opinion and experience.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

The precuts in this one was perfect and with their woops policy I think it’s a great deal. Thank you for watching my channel Dee😊👍🏼🌺🐥

[@LDH_Crafts]

I love cutting fabric like absolutely love it i also like buying way to much fabric so i can make my own bundles

[@sisterchicksquilting]

I love buying way too much fabric to Jillian. I seriously think it’s a dopamine hit 😬🤣😬 Thanks for watching my channel👍🏼😊🌺🐥

[@wilmacarter1141]

How much is the pre-cut kit that is behind you? I would like to know so I could buy it. My name is Wilma Carter.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Wilma, if you look in the description below my video. You will see a link for My Fabric addiction. She sells the kit. I’d you use the link that takes 30% off the price. Thanks for watching 👍🏼😊♥️🐥

[@nancybeck1428]

I have never sewn anything that didn't get my blood on it.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Oh no! I have a friend who made a baby quilt and she called it the quilt of the bloody fingers😂🤣😂🤣 thanks for watching my channel Nancy👍🏼😊🌺🐥

[@knittingnana2939]

[@fallenangel1049]

Good video….husband still snarkey as ever….lol…..the blood spot, wouldn’t oxy get it out

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Thanks And yes, he lives making his comments 🤣👍🏼😊🌺 TFW😊

[@Vintage_Recreations]

My mom used to buy precut quilts in the 80s. That stuff was cut out by scissors with traced cardboard templates! Modern precuts and rotary cutters and mats make it breeze. Basting sucks.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

I was around and I remember those days in the 80s, lol. Yes, you’re right. Basing sucks, that’s why I got a long arm.😂🤣 TFW😊🌺🐥

[@jolynnsholmire2785]

I keep Peroxide on hand. Takes blood right out of fabric.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

So I know that now 🤣 there were so many comments, thank you Joylynn♥️😊🌺🐥

[@livingweirdestherc6644]
