Awesome - something useful for those selvedge scraps

[@danatisdale9473]

Thanks, Kim!

[@anne-marielewis7529]

Hi, from England! I’m a new subscriber and also rather new to quilting, so this was a revelation for me, thank you! I smiled when you pointed out the name Felicity in your block….. have a granddaughter named Felicity. 😊

[@robynbecker8610]

Thanks for the great tip about the hp foot and regular plate. Nice project.

[@jamesdahlin4735]

I love it what fun!

[@lwest5686]

I enjoy your videos. Thank you for not having fingernails that distract from the demonstration. I'm getting tired of ladies ( as good as they are at quiting) who have nails so long and bright that it seems silly they're even trying to pin and sew.

[@mrob8918]

Thanks for the tip on using the hole on the HP foot. I'm going to use that one! Love the Janome tips as much as your projects.

[@carolcthomas8432]

Question: Is there a noticable difference in weight for the two sides--plain fabric half versus the multiple selvage stitched strips triangle? Combining the blocks, would this make "waves" for wall hangings, projects, quilts, etc.?

[@Chatterboxquilts]

I don't find them that much heavier. It would be similar to using different types of fabrics in a block, such as cotton, silk, corduroy, denim, etc.

[@kath9939]

What is that black straight edge, please?

[@Chatterboxquilts]

That is a Martelli ruler - it is 2" by 12" and has a non-slip backing that I love to use for trimming and cutting my fabrics. I don't think they make this length any more but you can find a similar one at www.martellinotions.com/skini-mini-short-ruler-2-x-16.html.
