[@wesfox4455]

Cool. I wondered what you were doing with the tape measure. I love you!!!💕❤️

[@thesimplequilter7499]

Thanks Wes🥰

[@maryjowestphal1057]

I have put a piece of cleat tape over the end of metal tape measure before rounding corners. Prevents cut coners from flying somewhere

[@thesimplequilter7499]

Excellent idea! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@joantadisch9195]

Good Idea!

[@kpcntry]

This would be great for a kindle or other type of reader.

[@thesimplequilter7499]

Thanks got watching

[@melodyn2music]

Awesome!

[@thesimplequilter7499]

Thank you! I hope you will try to make at least one!

[@michelesalazar2045]

Love your videos. Can you do an eye glass case with the snap closures? What would the measurements be?

[@thesimplequilter7499]

Hi Michele! You can make the snap bags any size! I would simply lay a pair of eyeglasses down and draw a rectangle around them to get your basic size. Then add extra for the top part and seam allowances. You can make a smoke out of your old/ugly fabric to try it out first!

[@thesimplequilter7499]

Sorry that should be sample instead of smoke! Sometimes I miss seeing the errors with auto correct!

[@GillSalmon]

Fabulous

[@thesimplequilter7499]

Thank you!

[@kathleenschroeder2071]

Thank you!

[@thesimplequilter7499]

Thanks Kathleen!

[@carolines2088]

You mentioned "spray baste". What glue would you use for that? Just normal spray adhesive?

[@thesimplequilter7499]

Caroline, I use "505 Spray and Fix" which is a temporary fabric adhesive. You want to be sure it is made for fabric so it won't gum up your sewing machine needle or quilting needle when you quilt your quilt.

I like this but the marking pencil! Where can I purchase this one? The one I have is hard to mark lines

Hi Michelle. I see you are using a Chi iron. What’s your feedback on it. I want to get a new iron. Do you steam or dry

[@thesimplequilter7499]

Hi Peggers! I really like the Chi iron! It gets really hot and has good steam! It stays on for quite a while and does have an automatic shut off. I just got a new Oliso! I wanted to see what all the fuss was about! I haven’t tried it yet because I really do like my Chi!

[@thesimplequilter7499]

The Chi was a lot cheaper than the Oliso!!! I also like the Chi better than my cordless Panasonic! The Chi is a great iron in my opinion and I am particular about the iron I use!

[@peggersf9709]

@@thesimplequilter7499 Thanks for your feedback. Have a wonderful Holiday season.

[@maryyorston6628]

Thank you so much for your demonstration. I was keen to have a go at making these bags. I have made three altogether but unfortunately not one has turned out perfect. The problems I have encountered are in the side seams I cannot get them to look right. I think the concept is great but there is a great deal of fiddly preparation work which I found too time consuming. Your instruction was very informative. I enjoyed your video, but this project was not for me.

[@thesimplequilter7499]

Thanks for sharing!

[@charseeman3875]

What adjustments would you need to make to teach this to 8-12 year olds? Thanks

[@thesimplequilter7499]

Char, I do not know what adjustments to recommend; however, I would definitely cut the metal pieces for them and provide close supervision with sewing. I would also precut the fabric for them unless you are having them cut with scissors.

[@towanastafford5043]

Are there raw edges inside?

[@thesimplequilter7499]

Yes. You can do a zigzag stitch over the edge.

[@thesimplequilter7499]

You can also pink the edges.
