This is an excellent demo of the spun seams! The clear, close-up steps are the best ai have seen for this process. Thank you, and stay well! Muskoka ON 🇨🇦

Thank you so much Pat! I appreciate your kind words and thank you for watching!

[@karin0963]

I appreciate the close up videos. I am working on HST blocks and this is very helpful. You're a great teacher! 😊

[@joyfulandmerryquilting]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your kind words and for watching!

Every now and then someone actually does a tutorial in SIMPLE, EASY TO UNDERSTAND ENGLISH, with a clear video alongside….10 out of 10 for yours, Mary!! And not just for the spinning technique, but for the perfect nesting, too! Thank you.

[@joyfulandmerryquilting]

You have made my day!!!! Thank you Barbara - and thank you for watching!

[@dcatweaver]

Mary, this is the FIRST video of so many I have watched that actually does the complete thing slowed down in a step by step tutorial. You show it to me like I am a 1st grader! THANK YOU

[@joyfulandmerryquilting]

You're so welcome! I try to walk myself through the process I use, while the camera is rolling! I'm glad it helped!

[@dcatweaver]

@@joyfulandmerryquilting it's amazing.

[@michelesalazar2045]

I never quite understood how to do that. Thank you now I'm good to go

[@joyfulandmerryquilting]

Great! Thanks so much for watching!

[@lindaregan8602]

Thank you! I have never mastered this technique. You have made the steps so clear, especially checking the diagonal seams of a pinwheel. I know I’ve mistakenly pressed the seams beforehand.😅

[@joyfulandmerryquilting]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@oksanagrof7571]

Thankyou so much again. I certainly have pressed first and then tried to spin my seams . I learn every time you put out a video. And they are really good close ups ( and that is hard to do I’m sure) . 🤗

[@joyfulandmerryquilting]

Thank you! My husband works very hard at getting those close-ups! He'll appreciate the compliment! Thank you!

[@dianehuntley2493]

Best explanation I have ever seen. Thank you😊

[@joyfulandmerryquilting]

Thanks so much and thanks for watching!

[@leeannguiette1950]

Thank you for this tutorial! I have always been scared to do a quilt with pinwheels because of the bulk at the center. I'm gonna go make a couple of scrap blocks to practice. Great explanation. 👍

[@joyfulandmerryquilting]

Glad it was helpful! I love making pinwheels! Enjoy!!!

[@lesa6399]

This is the 1st time it’s been so well explained! Tips I don’t recall ever hearing. Especially the pressing! Thank you😊

[@joyfulandmerryquilting]

Thank you! Glad it helped!

[@joyfulandmerryquilting]

Thank you! Thanks for watching!

[@jeanabrosseau6202]

Great video! I have learned so much from you, Mary!

[@joyfulandmerryquilting]

Thanks so much! And thank you for your kind words!

[@LindaGaller]

I don’t understand why picking out the stitches past the stitching line doesn’t create a risk of more thread unraveling and causing a small hole down the road. What am I missing? Thank you.

[@randyolson5001]

I worry about that too

[@joyfulandmerryquilting]

I leave the threads that I have picked out, and they are anchored cross-wise from the last seam I sewed. I haven't had a problem with a hole being left behind. I suppose it could if you trim the threads once you pick them out, but leaving them in place seems to keep everything together.

[@almalouannab3718]

Thanks Mary for a clear method to create these seams. I recently made a hexagon quilt and now wish I had known about this method. Please, hoe would it work with a hexagon seam.

[@joyfulandmerryquilting]

Your'e so welcome! I have not tried it with a hexagon quilt. I'll have to add that to my list. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@cat267]

Thank for you video…..How do you keep your fabric from fraying? My fabric frays like crazy. Even when the sewing machine sews my seam. I appreciate your thoughts

[@joyfulandmerryquilting]

I do have a video on Fraying Fabric if you'd like to take a look: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmWtmn5mlLtgfLs

[@franceslove5461]

Thank you so much Mary. Do you do this technique only on four patch/ pinwheel?❤

[@joyfulandmerryquilting]

You can also do this on seams with an intersection - such as the a nine-patch.

[@sandikae7682]

Great video. Thank you!

[@joyfulandmerryquilting]

You're welcome!

[@MarshaStowe]

Thanks for the hints....good to know!!!

[@joyfulandmerryquilting]

You're welcome!

[@ettalanuti7926]

Thank you! But...what prevents the seam from opening up? Is it that the horizontal seam was seen last?

[@joyfulandmerryquilting]

No - you are opening up the seam that extends into the seam allowance. It has been anchored by the horizontal seam. I don't clip the threads - just remove them from the seam allowance.

[@C123abc]

Great explanation but I think you messed us on the pinwheel and should have spun the seams so they all go the same way. I think that yields the best result.

[@joyfulandmerryquilting]

From my experience in order to nest the seams together before spinning them, the half square triangles need to be pressed as I show in the video. Then, I spin the vertical and horizontal seams only, as I show in the video. Whatever way works for you is great.
