[blugotti]

I love heat transfer batting....just iron, and it's based to the top enough to finish! A great option for small quilts and table runners!

I just made a little quilt, and I used a temporary adhesive spray, and pins, to keep it together. Then I hooped each square and stitched a simple feather quilt design on my embroidery machine, and a longer feather design on the borders. It turned out great and I quilted it in 2 days!

@petmomful Sounds beautiful!! I'd love to see a picture! Share it with us on facebook! Have a great weekend!

Thanks for these lovely tutorials! I was wondering if you had a tip to avoid the backing material from bunching or folding. I used pins to hold the layers together but I used jersey cotton on the back and now have a lot of folds. (Using jersey cotton for the back I think was a bad idea!). What material do you often use for baby blankets? Thank you for your help. CJ

Hi there, Thanks for watching and asking questions.  The batting doesn't need to be that much bigger, but you need to give it some wiggle room. If you machine quilt your quilt, it needs to be about 4 inches bigger on all sides and that is to make it easier when you attach it to the quilt machine. You can cut is smaller if you are hand quilting or tying you r quilt.

I am making my first quilt (chevrons!) and I haven't figured out why the backing and batting have to be cut so much bigger than the top of the quilt. Could you explain that?

Thanks for the great inspirational tutorials.

I love these videos I think it would be very fun to make quilt seven though I haven't before IT LOOKS SEW EASY and thx for all the helpful tips

[purrrking68]

thank you for the wonderful videos! I've never made a quilt before but am interested in beginning. You speak in a manner that is friendly and encouraging to someone that has no quilting experience. You also have a way of making the quilting process look fun and somewhat easy!

Can you explain "quilting" by hand? How do you do that? I can get embroidery hoops, but I need an example of how to quilt. Thank you, and I really love your tutorials...especially the ones on how to do baby quilts!! People really do seem to love them!!

[MultiCaro2011]

Just love it!

I am SO looking you guys up!!! I want to make a baby quilt but...um...I'd rather get that cute paci pattern than my junky stitching!!!

[jannyb555]

[TheHuapala808]

Wow...could you show us how to make our own pattern to sew by hand on the quilts. Grandma just got me all brandnew sewing machine and surger. Just quit my job and decided to sew for a living. Why not. How can I order those packs of patterns? Awesome awesome tutorial. Please make more things. Aloha.

[cascades92]

hmmm I lay it out on the floor then hand tack every 2 inches over it. That way I don't break a needle over a safety pin when I'm machine free form quilting.

great tips....
