Making and editing a video takes a lot of time and effort, that’s why I don’t do it. This video is to the point and very helpful to me, a first time hand quilter, in fact first time sewing anything. I don’t know why some people are complaining about the ads. I think it’s a small price to pay for the information. Thank you, it was very informative.

When I was clearing out my kitchen cupboards I was surprised how many coffee cups I have, and some I don't use because they are special to me and I don't want them broken. I got some plastic cups, cut them down and put them in the coffee cups to keep them clean. I put my markers, scissors and other stand up stuff in them. They are very handy, more space in my cupboard and I get to see my "special ' cups everyday when I am in my sewing room, it makes my heart happy. Thanks for your videos, love them. Have a great day.

Thank you, Claudia. ❤️. You can use the rubbery shelf liner under your machine at workshops to keep it from vibrating all over the table. And, you can get freezer paper for use for applique too. I buy colored dot stickers/happy face stickers to place on the top of my rulers and scissors for easy identification at a workshop. Then I know which are mine. Many great ideas!

I use the hardware containers to store my sewing machine feet. I put the name of the foot at the bottom of each individual square and then I can always grab the correct one. I love the badge holder tip to put my small scissors or clippers on.... I will be buying one of those for sure.

I loved your video. And I was using the lint roller after piecing some blocks and my little dog ( shih-Tzu) was sitting bu my feet and he had little pieces of thread all over so I used the lint roller to get them. I thought you’d laugh. I signed up on your Chanel. Thanks. Carmen

I use the medicine boxes (the ones that have days of the week on them) for both bobbins and presser feet so when I go to a quilt retreat I can just grab them and throw them in my sewing basket.

I use an over-the-door shoe bag which has a lot of compartments to store quilting supplies. One bag really holds a lot.

Good ideas. I use those black clips in the kitchen too to close the bread or snack bags. My design wall is a flannel tablecloth because I can't afford $100 for a fancy one. I use the gloves too. I have to pick up some cookie cutters for applique. The kids toy section once had dinosaur cutouts which I'll use for a child's quilt. Coloring books can be good sources too. The paper clips to ID pieces instead of those expensive alphabet letters some places sell. You can really get caught up in "you need this and that". Thankfully, I didn't stay too long in that mindset. You can also make a small portable design board that's nice and rigid. A piece of flannel glued to a piece of cardboard and then put a pretty binding on. There are youtube tutorials. I had everything I needed since I saw no need to buy a fancy board for it. Cardboard from a delivery box is great and don't we all have those these days? As I write this, I'm your newest subscriber.

Soft spoken, concise and quick presentation, I purchased a few bandannas in red, grey and black, stitched on tracing paper and it turned out very nice in a large 40 x 40 inches star.

I use potholders for scissor case. Turn in two opposite corners and stich together, stick in scissors. Sew easy!!

[sheryllawrence]

You can buy wrapping paper there. Buy the kind with grid lines on back. I use it for tracing sewing patterns, but I'm sure it would be useful for quilting.

Claudia I like the name of your show and I'm going to let you know that I am impressed because I was beginning to think that all quilting YouTubers are the same but I actually learned a lot and the first 10 minutes that I watched so I was able to hold on to the end

I have used the rubber shelf lining to make my patterns that I use frequently. For instance I have made a ton of memory teddies that have many pieces. So made the pattern pieces from the lining and they never wear out.

Pot holders are also a handy place to keep needles for hand stitching. Hang it on a pushpin on the wall and if you need to take it with you, just fold it in half and close it with a clip.

Thank you ❤️ for your $1 (1.25 now 😂) store tips. I also LIKE how you tell and then show the example. The visuals are helpfully ❤️

[gigiontube]

Thank you for your video. Very helpful.
And here a little idea for you and whoever else reads this comment.
I store the layer cake pieces of fabric in an empty cardboard paper towel OR a toilet paper tube; Also, other precut pieces not in use yet. I sort them by size, background color, type of print, fabric thickness or other criteria. I write on every tube the exact dimension of squares and how many pieces of fabric are stored in that particular tube. It helps tremendously to find exactly what you need when you need it and stay organized.

[fordictionclass]

These are great ideas. Thanks. And those hardware organizers are so useful. Each section holds a small tube of seed beads. I also fold and tape pieces of paper to make one section into two. It makes it really easy to organize colors, and they stack well.

[birdsong]

I use the rubber shelf lining under my large cutting mat. Keeps it from shifting on my table top. Thanks for all your tips.

[kcastillo]

Good ideas. One other use for the retractable badge holder is for your tape measure. I adhered the holder to the edge of my cutting table and attached the tape measure. Now I don't have to hunt for it.
