love your tutorials, especially the little "beginner friendly" projects, I'm 62 and I'm a beginner to that wonderful sewing hobby ... still struggling with binding though 🫣🤣 thanks for all the time you take to help all of us out here ... Love from Germany, Danielle

I love all your tutorials! You make me want to do all these fun projects! I started quilting/sewing when I turned 48- a year and a half after my precious granny passed away. Every summer I would stay 2 weeks with her. I would sit at her feet while she quilted, crocheted, knitted, embroidered, needlepointed. Yet I never desired to do any of it until it was too late. I inherited her sewing machine (it needs serviced for sure) so I bought a beginners singer and haven’t looked back! I’ve done 2 quilts, a table runner, numerous pj bottoms and pillow cases and one bag! Every time I see I can feel my granny. I’ve even smelled her late one evening. I know she would be so proud of me! Thank you for all you do! You an amazing teacher! 💗

This was a perfect little tutorial, I’ve been out of the sewing game for some time and this will be perfect to get going again

Your tutorials are FABULOUS. I especially appreciate the pace of them. So many other tutorials I watch are dragged out and last 3 times longer than they should. It seems they approach every one of them as though every viewer has no basic knowledge. That's great for beginner tutorials but doing every one of them like that is just not necessary. You get right to it, give us the supplies and jump right in. Your style is so appreciated and I'm completely drawn to everything you post. They're clear & concise without the extra chatter & fluff. Please keep it going! Thanks so much! :)

You made this look sew easy! 😂😂. but for real, thank you. I'm going to give this project a try! Thank you for your video.

[carolynthomas]

This was so easy and cute, thanks for the video

[shaleemusic]

Absolutely what I needed to see. As a beginner sewer, I wanted to watch something that felt "do-able" for my first try at creating something. Terrific!

[SharonDraughon]

That is the easiest way to do binding that I've ever seen! Can't wait to try that method on my next project. Thanks for your tutorials!

[sinaiyahyisrael]

Great tutorial! I almost paid $30 for a class on mug rugs at a fabric store! This was easy!

[kimberlyprice]

I cannot say enough how happy I am to have found your tutorials. I have been a garment sewist for years and am just now curious about making quilts. I just pieced my first mug rug for my brother who is in assisted living and loves coffee. It is not exactly perfect by any means but he will love it. I am trying to learn with small projects first. I have cut a lot of denim squares from old jeans that I want to make guy quilts out of. One day at a time.

[julialandman]

What a brilliant way to use up scraps! You make attaching the binding look so easy! Well done and thank you for giving us this project!

[mariawells]

This would make a sweet gift for a quilt bee, a tea or any gathering you want to have a gift for your friends.

[suzanajames]

Thank you so much! I love smaller projects ☺️ Learning new technologies is much easier for a beginner on these types of projects, keep them coming…💚

[audreyderby]

Your QAYG is so neat! My. Scraps are all over the place…up, down, across one corner, past the top..on an angle, etc. a real "scrappy" deal…lol

[colleenisaac]

No!!! Now I want to make this! I’m going through some of my UFO’s but keep seeing new things I want to make! Love this!

[sharonderksen]

These tutorials are great, great information and straight to the point. Thank you! ❤

[tiffanysaller]

This would be great for laying your scissors on to keep from scratching a wood sewing machine cabinet. I made something similar but this is much cuter. Thanks for a great tutorial.

[MarketsofSunshine]

I keep finding new tips for sewing and quilting. I am making a large piece for a friend that is a 9 patch with 4 inch squares. I will be doing it all by hand. I'll see how this method works. Then I'll do another one all on the machine so I can compare the two. I'll also be making a video for my little channel. TFS! Hugs, Marsha from Florida P.S. My channel is all about using up what you have to make gifts and green crafting.

[carmensluter]

did not know what a mug rug was..and you showed it spectacularly! thank you

[GewoonelsJustels]

I love this! I wish this kind of gift would be appreciated where I live in the Netherlands that is. I would certainly have made a bunch
