A lesson I just recently learned: don’t get too into the audio book you’re listening to while quilting. I pieced more than 10 HSTs with no thread in my bobbin because I was so wrapped up in the story. 🤣

[melanievarela]

First lesson: Don't compare yourself to others. If you do it, you'll never be satisfied with your own work.
Second lesson: Those practice pieces can be made into pet beds and charity quilts. Trust me, a snuggle bug doggo is not the quilting police. Just make sure there are no toe catchers.
Very good tips here Karen. That clear shower curtain works a charm.

I make mistakes all the time! My quilting looks like a preschool art class!
I don’t care! My quilts are perfectly imperfect! Love the video! Just went to the dollar store!
The nonslip shelf liner works great❤️

The quilting part of quilting. Also known as "The Reason Why You Are Crying BEFORE You Cry Putting on the Binding." Oh, the dread. Thank you for this.

Pace not race. I love it. I’m back at quilting after 25 years hiatus. I’m 74 now and amazed at how much I remember and how much I’ve forgotten. My practice quilts are abominable but my family thinks I’m a gifted crafter so who am I to argue. I’m binge watching your channel. Cheers from N.B.

[bellamyheaton]

I forget every time I’m finishing a quilt that quilting tired leads to using a seam ripper. Usually once I mess up once I realize I’m tired and stop for a bit.

[joaoluisesquivel]

You're a bad'ass. No hostages. You go gurl! That's why I like to see them videos. Thanks

[bettytullis]

One of my favorite bits of advice from you is using a timer. It reminds me to quilt in chunks of time, not marathons. I'm happier with my outcomes when part of my time is not spent ripping out because I was tired and should have stopped. You always bring such helpful information. Thank you for all you bring us!

I always say " it's not perfect, but I'm not striving for perfection, I'm striving for progress."

[trac]

TY Karen! Uggg I rush quilting and for some reason I'm completely shocked at how much time it takes to do correctly...lol every time!🤪

[jan-mareew]

Karen, Karen, Karen. You're amazing, if I haven't said so before. You just throw it out there so casually, and you're so good at quilting tutorials. You're someone I could have a drink with and talk quilts. Jan from down under

Over ambitious me. I have been sewing a long time. I had never tackled a quilt. When I finally had an opportunity for a class, it had started then covid hit and it is still unfinished. So my granddaughter loves Elsa/Frozen and this Nana got a big idea to make her a princess quilt, for a full sized bed.
I actually got the top completed, had a devil of a time trying to make the quilt sandwich the size was difficult to get stretched. I have it stitched in rows and need to finish other directions. It is not perfect but so far no folds. And of course, it needs to be finished by her birthday. It has been a daily project, stressful, with a few meltdown moments. Next time I will know all the pitfalls. Fingers crossed the rest of the quilting and trim go ok.

Good morning. When I started quilting, I would rush through the quilting part anxious to check it off my list of to-do’s...and often end up with more problems to solve. Here are my 8 tips for getting the best results. It will take more time but good quilting makes your piecing shine.

[MsLinaTina]

I do my quilting practice on 10 inch blocks of fabrics I'm no longer a fan of. That way i know I'll eventually have enough blocks to turn them into a quilt as you go quilt. That way the practice feels more productive.

[hannelieros]

I don't even quilt... Not sure what I'm doing here, but it was interesting 👍😅

[wendy]

Karen, you and Jenny Doan from Missouri Star Quilting Co have both inspired me to try quilting for myself. I have my fabric, some batting from a previous project that I have left over, and I'm going to attempt my first quilt project this week. Thank you for your advice and inspiration. A grateful fan from Australia.

We need more Dollar store sewing hacks ❤️😁

I can't tell you how much I need this right now. I feel so overwhelmed with my lap quilt and my grandmother's 1968 Kenmore. I love your videos!

[catherinesmith]

So happy to know that there a few things I'm doing right for once..❤

[errinwellman]

Really helpful! Piecing is my favorite part. So I find I rush the quilting.
