I can't thank you enough for putting this video together. It is a necessary tool to make this quilt. I was elated when I saw the full size applique layout in the kit. That was the main reason I never made the quilt several year ago. Please keep this video active as I won't be starting mine until the holidays when I have a week off from work. I can't tell you how excited I am to get this kit and start it. Thank you is not enough to show my gratitude for putting this together. I never have been so excited about a kit.😆

Thank you for offering such a beautiful quilt! I don’t need more kits but I could not let this one slip away. Will a layout sheet be provided for the applique borders? Also is the fabric in the kit the same as the quilt in the video? Really looking forward to receiving this kit. ❤

[gailheyblom]

Thank you for the amazing tutorial. I am wondering how this quilt was quilted once it was finished?

[janthestitcher]

Thanks so much for making this video - it's essential for success. I'm curious what method you used for the applique. Was it machine or hand stitched? Blanket, straight, whip, zigzag? Thank you for putting this fabulous kit together.

How would you recommend we appliqué the center design? Fuse it all on first, then proceed to appliqué each piece. Or fuse on each piece applique’ing each one as you go?

Great video. Love the project. Are you still flying for United? My nephew is a pilot for United based out of Chicago.

So I have a Juki and will need to hand sew my appliqué, is this raw edge or are we tucking the edges under ? Sorry for the question, I am very new to appliqué on quilts.

[Finnplayz]

I am a bit new to the applique process. For the large applique or any of the applique, I am not quite understanding how it is fused to the applique mat then removed and placed on the background. Would you be able to show a video of how that works?

[mdnisg]

I’m making this quilt, but I can’t see the design through the black fabric even though I have a light behind it. How do I apply the appliqué pieces?

[Mexp]

Hello I just had a quick question as much as I love this quilt what happens if I get it home and decide it is not for me of course it will not be sewn or cut or anything like that I just wondered if I get it here and it’s not for me it is it going to be eligible for a refund?

[kathypark]

Do you think you will do a kit for this again????

The walking foot seems to be your foot of choice...can you explain why?
