I'm doing a semester project for school. I chose to learn how to make a quilt. This video is great! I love how it's so detailed. Thanks to this video I've learned that I need to go out and buy a walking foot for my sewing machine. I would have never known that if I hadn't of seen this video! Great video! Thank you for posting it! I can't wait to make my quilt! :)

i have a question.Can you buy quilts at walmart that look like handmade quilts?

[bjblackford]

Could you please tell me where I can buy the t-shirt quilt pattern that you use in the video?

I have looked, on lots of sites, but most of the patterns I see are boring.

I really need a Guide to start with. This is my First quilt.

Love your videos

@OnlyHDVideos Is there away I could get copy of your entire video on DVD? Or could the video be sent to my email so I can download the video to a DVD. I really enjoy your entire quilting video so much! I would love to have your video for future reference. I've already watched your video more than three times already. You really have helped me out so much. I'm so excited to make my first wedding quilt for my school project. I'm getting married in a year. :)

Absolutely agree with the first comment! Very uselful with lots of content!

Thank you!

[debbiland]

Very informative and lots of important details many websites didn't have like, steam seam, seam gauge, using a walking foot and clearly presented. I feel very confident in making my own quilts as I've been saving them for several years just for this project. thank you!
