The Charm Pack Quilt - Beginner Block Quilting Series

[primalindigo]

I love your videos! They are very informative and please keep the charm square ideas coming. I have a full tub of them

I was wondering how many packs would it take to make a queen size and how much fabric for the borders?

Thanks

Mandy

i wish i had watched this before i started, i had no idea that you could buy precut squares. I've since found a few places in the uk which do this also and it was much easier this time!

[MrsAChery]

I want to make my first quilt for my daughter. How many charm packs would I need for a child?

[jennydoan57]

I have never pre-washed my pre-cuts and I have never had any problem. I use good quality fabric and just sew them up. If yours shrunk you will need to cut them down to a uniform size and then you can do with them what ever you would do with a charm pack, so all is not lost!

[eadonigan516]

I washed my charm packs and they did shrink. Now I have to figure out what to do with them. I washed 500 of them then ironed them. The are all different sizes. Don't know what to do with them.

Jenny, I watched this tutorial and decided that I would make my first quilt using the Charm Packs. A quilting friend warned me about pre-washing the Charm Packs. She said they shrink and some of the dyes run.

What are your thoughts on pre-washing?

[SarahMSQC]

@minois100 @minois100 We do NOT prewash any precuts! It has been discussed on our forums and you can go there for other quilters opinions!! I hope this helps you with your decision! Happy quilting!

[hawaiianstylerocky]

Another OUTSTANDING lesson for me, thank you SEW MUCH! *HUUGS* .... off to decide on charm packs now :)

[bobco303]

she is just so cute. I wish I could take lessons from her. Quilting without the snooty attitude

[marysplan]

Jenny, Could you please tell what charm packs you are using in this video, i would love to make this same quilt for my grandson!

[MissouriQuiltCo]

@marysplan This is American Primer from two years ago. You won't be able to find it anymore, but just shop around and find a charm pack swatch that you like and try one! They are very cost effective and you always get something fun!

[copybutton]

I've noticed that you don't sew backward at all when sewing two charm packs together, does that mean that you are not knotting it, just sewing though?

[barbandscottg]

Hi Jenny! I just bought my first jellyroll, and charm packs from you. What wonderful shipping, and fast! Thank you! I am so nervous about making my first quilt, and I have watched your videos about 5 times now. I start this weekend. I can't wait!

[WDsurvivor]

At last, someone who explains how to do it without fancy talk, clear angles and a fun attitude.

[jennydoan57]

Hi...We have had several hand sewers that were afraid of their machine, but it gets better all the time. When you start you can use binder paper (with the lines on) and practice getting the feel of the machine and staying on the lines on the paper, without using your thread. I have actually sewn my finger before and while it hurts...it heals and clearly it is not enough to keep me from sewing. So Start slow and get comfortable and in no time you will have the confidence you need! Good luck.

[sapphiregurl94]

idk why but i have a fear of using a sewing machine. i fear my finger's gonna get stuck or caught in between the thing that sews the fabric together.

[eatpeanuts707]

I have found your site and have watched them all ...I went out to buy 2charm packs and 1 jelly roll of the same material But now what can I make can you please help....

[jennydoan57]

@eatpeanuts707 There are so many things you can do with the precuts...just keep watching and something will strike your fancy!

[louveniaqa39]

Thanks for this video. Very helpful

[CGMills52]

Thanks for this great video.  I have a bunch of charm packs - I am crazy about fabric - but did not know how to sew them together. Your instructions were crystal clear.

[sracampbell]

Thanks so much for this video. I made several table runners from ideas on this video. You MSQC are amazing!

[sweetestwon]

I just love watching your vidios I use to quilt as a kid but gave it up for years and im wanting to get back into it. Im looking looking online for tips and reminders hehe. Yours are great because they're curt, to the point and you can see what your doing. And the room is always so well lid up ... Great personality too.

[jennydoan57]

What can I say I am a wild woman! No it really is best to remove your pin before you get to it. Thanks for bringing this up!

Jenny

[ekmom76]

I always pull my pin right before the needle gets to it...aren't you afraid it will hurt your machine or break your needle?

[Godzoned]

Thank you
