I’ve been a quilter for years and I agree with all of these tips! The pinning tip is SO important in my opinion.

[@ameliathompson3751]

I love using the ruler rather than the cutting mat for the most accurate measurement. In addition, I use only the rulers from one manufacturer for best measuring and cutting results. I learned the hard way NOT to switch from one manufacturer to another within the same project.

[@margm4]

Thanks for the reminders. Sewed for more years than I care to remember, but rarely pinned. I shall do that in the future 😊🇦🇺

[@dale3404]

I was taught to set the seam, but never knew why. Thanks.

[@dawnlaverty3592]

Absolutely LOVED these tips especially the one about pinning from the middle. I’ve been pinning from edge to edge and have been so frustrated when I’ve followed all the steps… even tacked and still I end up about 1/8” out! Can’t wait to try this on my next quilt. Thank you. I’ve just discovered your videos, and have already learned so much. ❤

[@lindaperkins1710]

Thank you I have been doing a few things wrong.. I will change my bad habits. Thanks agin enjoyed this video

[@ecoquilting7077]

Nice video! Here's a tip: be generous to yourself by labelling things, and when you put a project aside for the night or... Who knows how long?!?... Leave yourself a note describing your next steps and such. It may seem that you couldn't forget info on a project you've been really focusing on, but it's amazing how fast that stuff can fly out of your memory!

[@cw107]

As a novice patchwork sewer, the first thing I was advised to do was to sew using pale grey thread. As a beginner, I would have opted for white thread but have found pale grey blends in far better. 😀 Plus I keep THREE bobbins with pale grey thread on standby!!

[@notesfromleisa-land]

I predominantly use light gray and off white. I saw that advice early on and took it

[@dale3404]

I was taught to use thread a shade darker than the fabric. After buying a serger and reading lots about using one, I learned that some people only serge with a few colors, thus saving money by not buying many colors that take up space and are rarely used. I should have learned to apply it to regular sewing. Thanks for this great tip. 😊

[@jennym007]

I love your tips! Very helpful. In addition I use a wooden tailors ‘clapper’ on my seams after I iron to flatten them. For me it’s a must for a perfect block. I buy the oak clappers from Jackson’s Woodworks on Amazon.

[@maryryckman8421]

Thank you so much for your 10 tips what a great teacher you are I do things all the time and there's things that when you show me these things I think wow that is cool why have I not use that so thank you I'm coming from from Montana USA thank you thank you may you have a blessed day

[@dotlaing1085]

Superb information…thanks for sharing. I do always have two bobbins full before starting a project. Very useful info. Hugs Dottie x

[@wilycat5290]

Thanks for the video. Those are great tips. 👍

[@randidaeger157]

Your tip on needle and thread size is just what I needed to improve my piecing. It seems that no matter how careful I am my blocks come up not quite large enough. I’d rather they bee too big and trim down to size. Can’t wait to try with the 70 needle and 60 wt thread. Bless!

[@lynetteoosthuizen8947]

Excellently well presented for us hardhearing sewers!

[@DeryndaDiana]

All wonderful tips, for which I thank you. Every little thing is SEW important.

[@manjulasivarajan9248]

[@LyndaAlsford]

Great tips. Thank you

[@kendranewton9071]

Agree with all, especially the best press. Love the one scented with lavender.

[@dianeetcheverry6452]

Wonderful suggestions. I never knew about needle size and thread size and kind. Thanks so much.

[@shaunapatton5173]

Thanks for you help!

[@SammiJarrad]

That last tip, genius! Thank you for sharing. 💜

[@cheryltignanelli6666]

Excellent tips!!! Thank you!!

[@corvettew.s.4360]

Love your tips

[@gma2893]

Great tips!! Thanks for sharing. I’m getting back into sewing after not really doing it for many years. Also my granddaughter is learning how to see and is really enjoying it

[@maureenhebert7673]

Oh my goodness. Thank you so much. Every single tip will be very helpful for me. I’ve been quilting for 1pm years and didn’t know any one of these tips. This could be why I always struggle with exactness

[@deewinston5651]

Thank you so much for all the helpful tips. I am fairly a new quilter. I am learning watching helpful people like you. I had never heard to line up and pin from the middle. That explains when I made a fence rail block it seemed so,e seams lined up and so,e did not. Now I know. Thank you.❤️🌹

[@lindawhite5006]

Great tips! Thank you for taking your time and sharing with us. 🇺🇸

[@kdavis1124]

Over the past two years, since I began quilting, each of these tips I Learned the hard way. 😉 Recently the Best Press has become my best friend! The pinning tip! Thank you! My tip: when cutting the same size multiple times I use about 3 layers of painters tape on my ruler to mark it. I then butt my fabric against the “ledge” for a consistently accurate cut.

[@jojosewist8921]

K Davis, what an excellent idea. Never thought of using a rape ledge of back of ruler. Thank you

[@nancymiller349]

One of the best tips possible is about bobbin size. Most people don't even realize there's a difference in bobbins. I learned the hard way. One machine I purchased came with a plastic bobbin and I was constantly having problems I switched to a metal bobbin and I sized it up myself. The machine works perfectly now. No one ever seems to give directions on bobbin issues.

[@martincruiz7976]

Cutting, pressing, and pinning, so basic and necessary steps to successful quilting. Heck, for any sewing project for that matter! Thank You!

[@margaretleblanc3071]

Very helpful tips, thank you!

[@kayannahufford340]

Thank you. You are so helpful. I just can't wait till you make another video.

[@carolmorgano7158]

[@danabray4905]

Thank you for tips. Very helpful information.

[@myIAM714]

The best tip was the pinning tip, will be using that one today! Thank you!

[@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509]

So cool! Well, I had a busy but fun day putting another log on my Log Cabin quilt blocks. This video makes me so happy that I can now sit and watch your video. Thank you for your time and posting this video!

[@maryhutto849]

[@jennygill1594]

Thank you got your tips especially about joining the squares. I always wonder why mine never joined up exactly 👏👏👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@janiskara6564]

As a long time quilter, I agree with and appreciate all your tips and knowledge. I hope those who are new to sewing follow your recommendations. It’s much easier than learning the hard way and getting really good at using a seam ripper! Thank you for sharing and please keep posting. :)

[@johnandevefoster3816]

I have become extremely successful at seam ripping!

[@camillewinkleman5519]

Needle size and thread weight were tips I had never heard of. Thank you.

[@robynmitchell5296]

Thank you so much for your great tips 😊

[@carolegroom5161]

Many thanks for telling us n showing us all.

[@elsie3255]

Thank you. Very clear and informative. Even for experienced sewists who may have forgotten these important things. Blessings

[@debmetheral6596]

Hello from Ontario Canada Thx for the Awesome video and great tips!

[@lindasattler5659]

Great tips!

[@toothvetia]

I’d suggest pressing seams open. Seams tend to be flatter. Always have a leader, then chain piece whenever possible. Use stay flo diluted 50% in a garden sprayer for economical spray starch on your fabric that soaks the fabric and is allowed to air dry over a drying rack over the bathtub. This is in place of pre washing so some shrinking does occur but it helps for all bias cut piecing and nicer precision on construction. Keep your commonly used tools handy and use a stiletto.

[@notesfromleisa-land]

Stay flo 50:50 my go to. Love the garden sprayer idea. It is a perfect way to big batch fabric prep. I don’t care to press seams open but I understand the preference. But I prefer butting seams. I like to use Teflon pressing sheets and get a flat block. Stilettos is a must and my eagle beak precision tweezers

[@jodiegrace2849]

Great tips. I usually get wonkies when I cut any tips to help me cut more accurately. Greetings from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

[@ella6106]

Wonderful and very important. I agree to you!

[@thesewclubpatterns]

❤ Love all your ideas :)

[@philomarx4323]

Thank you so much, very helpful👍👍👍

[@angelavorhees5946]

I never heard of pinning from the middle, but I am going to try that one. Looks brilliant. I have issues even though i try everything to be accurate. I have always used a size 80/12 needle for piecing. Am going to try the 70 and see what results I get. Even we seasoned sewers can use new tips . Thank you.

[@phyllis26red]

Thank you for sharing the tips!

[@malusantos1551]

Thank you 👋🏻

[@jojosewist8921]

Pressing is an up down motion with the iron, Ironing is sliding the iron over the fabric. Ironing is more likely to stretch the fabric and or seams. Enjoyed the tips.

[@mike1968442]

A plus for me - I too follow all those "rules"! Except, if I'm sewing a large project I wind up 6 bobbins.

[@maryhutto849]

I also wind lots of bobbins when starting a project. Saves so much time and cuts the interruption of winding a new one.

[@juanitahooker132]

Hello from Philadelphia

[@lorettaclinton6604]

One thing I’ve noticed is that your sewing machine is high, is this done purposely?

[@gaylenewilkey9739]

Just getting back into quilting after a couple of years break. Thank you for refreshing some of the tips, like pining from the middle and changing the needle to a smaller size. I had forgotten to do this on my last quilt and it explains so much. Also are you able to tell me the name of the material you used for the demonstration, I love it but haven’t seen anything like it in my local quilt shop. Many thanks.

[@gillr1149]

Oh my! I'm so slap dash. Got to try harder🤔

[@jesusistheonlywaytothefath9020]

We only have Walmart and Hobby Lobby in my small town that sells thread. Walmart has all mostly all purpose thread and I've not seen on any of the spools what the weight is. The thread I get at Hobby Lobby says it's an Egyptian cotton thread and I've not seen on the spools what the weight are either. Maybe I'm just overlooking the weight number but I've examined both brands top to bottom and can't find it. If anyone else uses the thread from Walmart or Hobby Lobby and knows the weight please let me know! Thanks!

[@jojosewist8921]

Jesus Is. . .: My Walmart sells Coats n Clark and off brand thread which I would never use. According to online info Coats & Clark all purpose thread is 30wt. I cannot find Sewology brand thread weights.

[@notesfromleisa-land]

Excellent suggestions! I'm too cheap to use Best Press...but I am a starch afficionado! I've never been able to cut using mat lines...always use the ruler. My #57 foot is the bomb! I needle over on click for scant. I glue baste for perfect match throughout the seam (prick/distortion free). Somtimes I pin through to my ironing surface (perpendicular) then glue baste. When I get to the sewing machine, all if have to do is put the pedal to the metal (and seam guide). I now use Wonderfil 80 wt cottonized thread v 50wt Aurofil. It is as strong as 50Wt, and it sews beautifully. I still have love for Aurofil, but I prefer to piece with Wonderfil. (though I understand the "debate" regarding poly v. cotton)

[@Str8eeth]

So, I feel the same about using Best Press, but what else works as well? Do Tell!

[@notesfromleisa-land]

@@Str8eeth Rita, I have a couple of suggestions. I make my own corn starch (buying cornstarch and mixing with water). I also use Faultless Heavy Starch when I see it at .99 a can. And I use the Sta-flo which I mix 50:50 (water to product). The sta-flo has the advantage of not having to be shaken like homemade. You can moderate the stiffness by your ratio of water to product. I don't skip on the bottle. I use a nice bottle with a good spray. (I don't use a mister, but a spray bottle that sprays ans nice fine spray) I'M CHEAP. (I like to spend money on fabric and sewing tools!) Another suggestions: I like to use the teflon coated sheets (you can see these on amazon), to serve as a pressing cloth. It works really well. Particularly good when you are interim pressing and you have biased edges to be mindful of.

[@Str8eeth]

Thanks so much! Good to know there are others out there that can’t stand spending tons on little things for their quilting! This is one expensive hobby, maybe I shouldn’t have retired after all!😉

[@notesfromleisa-land]

@@Str8eeth I don’t buy fabric unless it is on sale. I routinely pay less than 5 per yard for premium fabric because I shop close outs at Hancock’s of Paducah. I try to make my dollars stretch. But I buy rulers that save me time and ensure excellent results. I would say that I have a borderline ruler fetish.

[@Str8eeth]

I live in a rural area and the only place to buy fabric is WalMart so I buy all my fabric online. I buy from Missouri Star Quilt Co. and Jordan Fabrics because they have good quality fabrics and have sales so I don’t have to pay $12 per yard. It’s really hard to buy it and then get the fabric and find it wasn’t quite the color my computer showed! Ooooh, rulers are the BOMB….I’m saving up for a strip tube ruler, I’ve seen so many tutorials that use it!

[@jylromain6439]

All good tips but I can't use Best Press. As soon as I spray it, I start coughing terribly and have to leave the room. Threw out almost a full bottle. I use regular spray starch with no issues. An Olfa rep said that the lines on the mat are only guidelines and are not to be used for measuring.

[@elizabeththomas1082]

I learned the hard way not to iron on the cutting mat….. I had limited space.. & did it twice damaging 2 mats.. as I thought the thick wool ironing mat I purchased the second time was thick enough…NOT!
