Tutorial : "Jewels" Gentle Curve Cutting with Jean Wells

[@pbottjen5283]

What a GREAT teacher!!!

[@tinafrauenhoffer3655]

Bravo! Oh my! 2.5 years ago, my boyfriend gifted me my very first sewing machine (best gift ever - didn't even know I wanted one!) Needless to say, it was love at first stitch! Buuut, I was left on my own from the get-go; just me, the manual, and KZbin. And while we've survived to this point, I wish I'd stumbled, and met your videos sooner! Did you call it a "bunny tail"- where you avoid having to lift the presser foot? Pure genius!!! Thank you so much!! You've earned another faithful subscriber! Great teacher, Mrs. Jean!!!!

FANTASTIC. I'm 67 and only dabbled with quilting but prefer something modern and colourful. This incorporates both. I'm keen to make some bedspread quilts for my grandkids as a lasting memory and this idea is so 'very me' Thank you for explaining it so well.

I am so in love with your work Jean, it makes me feel so happy. Thank you!

I like your color combo-s...Your instruction is excellent. Thank you

[@Stitchinpost]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bumblebaa2327]

excellent and relaxed lesson to watch. Fine camerawork too, especially showing your hands while stitching. Much clearer than another video I saw of you doing this.

[@zainylainy1]

That was really interesting! I usually don’t care for most modern quilts but this one is awesome! What a great technique. I learned the basic concept of this technique back in the 90s but you have taken it to a whole new level. The design is gorgeous!

[@maggiehallinan1771]

Fascinating!! I’m new to improv quilting but I’m loving it!

Just BEATIFULLLLLL

[@theresamccormick8647]

How refreshing you and your work are. Thank you for sharing your talent. I have one question. Would you be able to put your next strip a quarter inch under the strip you are going to cut a line in, and cut them at the same time?

[@SuzanneAtwood]

I've seen people do it that way. It makes sense to me!

[@ceciliabn29.12]

Thank you very much!

[@dianaboos5602]

Would love to see a video of connecting 2 sections together along the short edge.

[@Stitchinpost]

Thanks for the idea!

[@jeanwilliamson5337]

👏‼️👏‼️👏‼️👍👍👍😊

[@irenezewski]

Why not just put the next strip under the current one and cut at same time to make perfect curve cuts? Doing them separate is just another step that is unnecessary

[@kelsworthy]

I think it gives you more control over the width of the insert when you cut separately but either way works

[@sophiewallace8662]

I did that, but when I iron it- I DON'T SEE A CURVE...THE FABRIC FOLDS OVER THE CURVE AND IT LOOKS STICK STRAIGHT

[@Stitchinpost]

Hi Sophie, Thanks for watching. Keep experimenting with the width and length of your curve until it looks the way you like.

[@Stitchinpost]

You might have too deep of a curve, or you might be ironing it incorrectly. With a gentle curve, you should be able to smoothly push the fabric away from the seam with your iron..
