Things I DIDN'T Know As A BEGINNER QUILTER (That I Wish I Did) 🤔 Part 2!

I am a new quilter and this is such a help. You give clear instructions, thank you!

Very good tips, especially about the rulers. 😊

Very helpful information. Thank you for sharing.

I was making my fifth or sixth quilt top years ago and ran into ripple problems, extra fabric along the borders, when sandwiching the quilt. After I told my mother she asked where I measured for the borders. Turns out I got lucky on the previous quilts that things worked ok. Somehow I had learned all the important stuff except measuring for borders at least a third of the way inside the quilt and not along the edge. Now I measure several places and double check again, no more issues. Lesson learned. Although no one can see where I folded the extra bit over and top-stiched. You can hide a lot in a quilt! 😊

I liked that you didn't just talk but also demonstrated.

New subbie I’m new to quilting and I can tell I’m going to learn a lot from you!

Such a very good video. Very good information,

I have a fancy computerized sewing machine. However, my go to sewing machine for almost everything I sew is my antique Singer 301 slant needle sewing machine. Those old sewing machines were made to last through generations of sewers. My Singer 301 and Singer 221 are all metal (no plastics). If you are lucky enough to have an old all metal sewing machine, that is in good condition, you are very lucky. Take care of it and it will work very well for you.

很棒的新手入門建議，非常實用，我正使用brother 1800Q。

Good tips. Budgets are important, but don't forget that machines usually last longer than your last auto purchase, so price is relevant to that.

I love your advice on the sewing machines.

Thanks for the nice video

100% !

That is true. I have a singer 9960 but I always go back to my Pfaff 6120 that I converted into hand-cranked machine while working on my tiny hexies.

Good information for new quilters. 1) Those are the two rulers I use the most while the ithers take up space. 2) I love my pre-cuts to save time although there is something calming about cutting the fabrics. 3) I appreciate the reminder to square off the blocks because I tend to become overly confident when sewing and cutting. 4) And lastly, I hesitated learning to quilt because I felt I did not have the correct machine since my SIL had bells and whistles machine. However, I took the plunge with mine and I'm still quilting with my machine. I also appreciate how you present the information and the tempo of your video.

Just found your channel! Thanks so much! ❤😊

Are you to cover quilting on a small 5 inch throat space? I don't know if featherweights are used just for piecing, and then hand quilting. How can even a lap sized quilt be rolled up to do quilting, especially a fancier design other than a wave stitch or stitch in the ditch?
