Sugaridoo Bernina QAL || Part 7 || Row 6 || Around the Corner

[@vernetawerkmeister6269]

What a great design you created, Irene. When I first saw this, I thought of putting eyes onto the color insert to look like someone peeking out. Thank you!

[@wendyshill2]

Wow! Why did I put this off so long?!? I thought “Curves? I hate sewing curves!” But you made it soooo easy! Glad to be finished making facemasks so I can concentrate on this quilt-along again. Thanks, Irene!!!

[@slusclay]

My favorite row, so far!

[@debbiegunn4487]

I’ve used the technique, but I honestly love your VERY skilled comments with a fresh, fun attitude. You are a joy to watch!

[@denahillis5201]

Finished this row today also!!

[@loriwalter6337]

So far I’ve been very hesitant with every row but, after completing them, I’ve been thrilled with the results. This row actually looks like fun to me! Can’t wait to start! One of the main reasons I started following you was that your English accent reminded me of my immigrant parents trying to speak English. Secondly, it’s obvious you have a truly sweet soul. That is such a joy to see in your videos. Today my favorite part is the yellow nail color to match the block. So cute! Thank you for putting this QAL together. It’s a joy to be taking part.

[@barbarafalke-meijer1157]

Ha Irene elke keer weer genieten van het enthousiasme dat je uitstraalt! Prachtige originele designs maak je ! Groetjes uit hartje Leiden van Barbara

[@analaughlin1071]

🤗🤗🤗 go with what brings you the most joy! Thanks Irene this technique is new for me and I'm loving how the blocks are coming out!

[@maryannscanlon7042]

Such a fun technique!

[@kathybuntenbach284]

I was a little hesitant to try this new technique. After watching your video, I am no longer hesitant. Your instructions are great. I don't have tea bag paper so think I will try a lightweight interfacing. Thank you Irene!

[@kattigeissler3121]

Thank you very much for showing me this technik❣️ I didn't even watch the video to the end but started immediately to work, because I was so inspired! I did some letters with round shapes and they turned out quite nice. For the inner Circles I just used your technik a second time. 🅿️🅾️🔠🅱️

[@harbourcolour]

I am working on this row right now and it is so much more fun than I thought it would be! I was totally intimidated by the curves... and now they look awesome. I have done a little raw edge applique, but never tried reverse applique. Thank you for teaching us such interesting techniques, Irene! Cheers from Nova Scotia, Canada.

[@nancybloomfield1753]

I love this technique! So much fun!

[@claresnelling9528]

Whoop! 🥳I am so super excited to do this one! Thank you Irene 🙏😉😜

[@luciedesnoyers4337]

Looks like a fun row. I think I will take your suggestion and make it my own. I will try using yellow yarn and sewing little rays above the half circles to make it look like the Sun. We can all use a little sunshine right now. Thanks for the great tutorials. Love how your nails always match your fabric.

[@lauriemccollum2744]

Another fun-filled day of quilting! Thank you, Irene. I loved making this row!

[@maplelassuk]

This is a surprise after so many very precise rows! I am needing to learn reverse applique for another project, so this will be helpful! I think this row will be a go for it one....A different learning 'curve' for us all!! I always love guessing who will be first to show us their talent 👏😀. Thanks Irene, and yay, I get to use my last colour! Elizabeth x

[@cathywhite3487]

I have enjoyed the challenge this row has been, never did curves before. I used no mesh stabilizer that I use for machine embroidery instead of teabag paper and it worked great.

[@debralong9546]

I'm so excited to try this...you are really pushing me out of my comfort zone! Seems easy enough - we'll see. Appreciate your happy attitude, you really are fun to watch and I'm really glad I'm part of this QAL. Stay safe and healthy...time to press on "SMILE"!

[@tjh9005]

Never sewn curves in quilting or appliquéd let alone reversed, so this will be new and hopefully like the rest of the quilt fun 🙂

[@piacremer6170]

Love the color coordination between the fabric and your nails 😉. Improv piecing will definitely be a challenge but I am looking forward to it.

[@sewcat1]

This will be a fun new experience for me! Thanks so much Irene!!!

[@aliciapeacock4662]

Lovely simple explanation of the reverse appliqué technique. Well done.

[@loraineleuschke4186]

My favorite block so far.

[@tanyanuttall2429]

Thank you - love to learn new things and really enjoy your videos ❤️

[@elisagalery1598]

This looks like fun! You could use yellow thread to sew around the circle. Think I'll try that to see how it looks!

[@lynette.]

All I could think of was my sister who loves jigsaws this could adapt to that or animal prints. Love this.

[@graybynature2449]

Maybe use lightweight sew in interfacing if you don't have tea bag paper.

[@salliebeard1899]

Love it, thank you for sharing ❤️💗❤️💖🤗 Can't wait to "Create" this row...... Use our Imagination, and set Us free....into our World of fabric, thread, color, designs....it gives me chills just thinking about it ... Can't wait to see EVERYBODY row...

[@ashlynn2015]

I love your channel thank you so much for the great tips and fun videos!

[@nancykunstsmith6601]

I love learning the new techniques! I ironed SF101 (Shape Flex) to the backs of both fabrics and did not have waving issues.

[@heatherr9201]

Very fun... am enjoying doing row by row

[@margaretcapone]

I really didn't think I was brave enough for the improv, just thought I would use the uniform stencil. My brain goes to exact lines and curves. But,...I did it for Irene. Lol! I loved it! So much fun! Couldn't get tea bag paper but used light interfacing. It was perfect. Geez,...I hate to wish away time but,...can two weeks go now? I can hardly wait to see what's next!😃😃😃

[@justinedowell4023]

This will be a 1st for me love all the rows xx

[@connieolson8497]

Do you ever use a seam roller? I think your improv quilting is the best, so much fun looking. Matches your Fun personality.

[@karenhodgson2341]

Ooooo, never done reverse applique, going to enjoy this, thank you Irene

[@fondaboyd2875]

I love sewing curves but have never done reverse appliqué so I’m excited to try.

[@karenbrownson1495]

Yikes! My heart is in my throat. Never done curves before this🙃. I bet it will be fun though🤗

[@rotto792]

Wow, luckily I trained as a clothing sewist. I will probably sew the curves traditionally, as I have no other rows improv at this time. Keep safe and well.

[@maplelassuk]

Now you have me really interested! Can you explain briefly please? X

[@joshuaharper372]

Well, you can draw the finished shape of the curve on two pieces of paper. On one, draw another curve 1/4 inch inside the curve (this is the background piece). On the other, add a 1/4 inch seam allowance to the outside of the curve (this is the yellow piece). Match the center and ends of the curve, and ease the rest of the curved seam to match, pin a lot, and slowly and carefully sew the seam. Gentle curves are much easier to sew than tight curves like these blocks.

[@andreabrunner9838]

Wundervoll erklärt! Coole Idee! Danke aus der 🇨🇭😉

[@marica2700]

Oh, this is very interesting technik. Thanks for showing it. And I like your brightful manicure - it is matching fabric you use 💛. Nail salon just opened? By the way, how much time/hours did it take for you to make this row?

[@Sylvia907]

Used the turn method in patching pants but it’s new for me in doing curves. I can do

[@debralong9546]

Amazing!

[@deborahmeares1048]

My question is are you stitching the teabag paper to the wrong or right side of the fabric

[@Sugaridoo]

Good question! I'm stichting it to the right side of the fabric.

[@rosagratefulmaroja.13]

hi Irene, im Rosa from Germany. Love your miniquilts! can i order from germany in your Shop? where you are living, cannot find this information. xoxo Rosa

[@rachellemccann7506]

Would tissue paper work?

[@LQSmarjan]

You could use freezer paper?

[@pwomloliver]

Probably not. The tea paper or interfacing needs to stay in place ..

[@carolynwhite9050]

Yes you can but it is a different technique. You cut the hole out of the freezer paper, then cut the shape from the background fabric clip like she shows then you iron the fabric back against the freezer paper, then you remove the freezer paper and add the applique fabric and sew. So basically the freezer paper let you iron the raw edge back evenly before you remove it and sew the applique. Not sure if this makes sense, there are videos on this technique

[@ellaw424]

Hi. Where can I find the tea bag paper? Can you provide a link?

[@danis.7454]

@Ella W You can find the teabag paper in the sugaridoo webshop under quilting/paper piecing. Sugaridoo.com😀

[@patriciaspringall107]

I don't have teabag paper nor interfacing...what else can I use?

[@ZofiaBorowskaDobrowolska]

She said n On Video that you can us thin material.

[@judymills873]

Patricia Springall tracing paper

[@katherineanderson8570]

This will be a challenge, which is just one reason to do a QAL - to try new techniques and keep learning. I am going to use Swedish tracing paper, available in Canada from Stitch in the Ditch or from Cleaner 's Supply.

[@katherineanderson8570]

Oops, sorry. It has been discontinued at Cleaner 's Supply.

[@normabryant4304]
