Tutorial for adorable Nantucket MINI-CHARM BAGS! See all three versions PLUS a bonus one at the end!

This video guides you through all the steps to make all three variations of the Nantucket Mini-charm bag. Based on using 2 1/2" squares plus some yardage for the lining and side panels for two of them. Soft and Stable was used in our samples and we changed up the directions so we could use one of our favorite products: fusible grid. The bonus bag at the end shows off our love of bright colors.
The original kit we prepared to make the 3 bags as we show in the video is no longer available. We'll be putting together a kit with a new color option soon and will provide a link once it's available.

[@chloetenbusch7331]

I'm going to try and make one.

[@karentzn]

I did this years ago thinking I was so clever thinking of this technique but truth be known I must have seen it on someone’s site. I just love this idea. Thanks for reminding me about this. Your bags are great.

[@person2463]

[@maryjoroeder3194]

thanks for the technique!

[@ritaweber2807]

bought the pattern. didnt think it was very complete. This was an excellent supplement to the pattern

[@thequiltedforest]

Much appreciated!

[@sallyb8919]

It’s a cute bag but I’d have to bind the interior seams. 😊

[@ninalerm4980]

Thank you great video..

[@thequiltedforest]

You are welcome!

[@patmaddux.9962]

Really like this method. I want to try it.

[@thequiltedforest]

You should!

[@marlahanks7278]

Oh my! Why have I never thought to sew the seams with the side up that you just sewed to be able to see which way the prior seams went?? haha But actually have not used the grid fusible in awhile. May have to get mine out & make some of these now 😊😊 Great video & great projects! Love, love that last one 💗💗

[@marymccluskey1516]

I loved this video. Clear instructions, easy to follow. Do you carry the fusible webbing for this project, or suggestions as to where I can find this? Thank you!

[@thequiltedforest]

Yes we do. Just give us a call at 641-585-2438. We also have kits for this project as well which can be found on our website at www.thequiltedforest.com/kits/products/504/Nantucket_Mini_Charm_Bags/ Or, just give us a call and we can help you over the phone.

[@lyndainman3484]

Great tutorial

[@lindacouto6988]

Is there a link to buy the 2.5" fusible interfacing? I can only find the 2". Would love to make these for my granddaughters. Great tutorial.

[@yvonnesharpe9869]

Wow .love it. .did you burn your arm .get well. use polyspor on it.not sure of the spelling.

[@2lovedogs]

I would like to make this bag 14/15 inches instead of 7.5 inches. Have you ever done this? If so how many square and rows should I have for the Scrappy version. Thanks

[@kathybasham1225]

Do you have to draw the grid? Or does your fusible come with the grid?

[@thequiltedforest]

The grid is already on the fusible surface. Easy peasy! If you'd like some, or want a kit, just give us a call at 641-585-2438. We do have kits for the Nantucket Mini-Charm Bags on our website at: thequiltedforest.com/other/products/504/Nantucket_Mini_Charm_Bags/

[@isewalot1234]

How long is the zipper? Looks 14” with plenty of room to spare. What size would you recommend? Would a 12” work too?

[@thequiltedforest]

Yes, mine are 14" zippers from Terry Atkinson Designs. But a 12" zipper would also work.

[@isewalot1234]

@@thequiltedforest thanks for the quick reply. These are super cute and I have the perfect mini charms to use to make a few one day soon. Love your tutorials, keep them coming!

[@cindywest2689]

What foot did you use to sew the side seams? Thanks.

[@thequiltedforest]

Hi Cindy. Great question! I actually used 4 different feet in this video: 1/4" Foot - for piecing Walking Foot - for machine quilting. It feeds all the layers through at the same time to make it easier to quilt. Open Toe Foot - this helps you see exactly where you're sewing Zipper Foot - as the name suggests, I use this one when sewing zipper's into projects Happy Quilting!

[@BrendaLanteigne]

It is a very helpful video showing the step by step but disappointing that the inside seams are unfinished. Would be nicer if the lining was made separately in order for the inside to have a nice clean finish.

[@thequiltedforest]

Noted

[@robinboberg]

What is the name of the foot you’re using on that machine, please?

[@thequiltedforest]

[@leslieviggiano8631]

Kinda confusing when making all bags at once 😮

[@thequiltedforest]

The more you watch it the easier it gets, LOL! 😜😝😂

[@GrampiesCorner]

Why waste such a big zipper on such a small project?

[@thequiltedforest]

The big zipper was less expensive than the small zipper. This particular brand of zippers are priced so that you can cut them down to the size you need.
