My favorite part of this video is that you carefully did not disturb the sleeping dog, even though it was right under where you were working.

Here’s an idea from an old seamstress. This is worth a try for any new quilters; see if it works better for you:

Place your pins perpendicular to your sewing path with the pin heads hanging off the edge of the fabrics to the right. This accomplishes three things:
• Your fabric will be less distorted.
• It’s easy to pull out your pins as you go.
• if you do sew over a pin your needle is likely to hop over the pin so no damage is dune.

We appreciate the fact that you make big quilts! There is nothing more aggravating to find a pattern that you love but it’s only a throw size and you have to figure out how to make it larger. Love your videos. Glad you’re back. 😀

THE BENDS!! Finally someone explained how to prevent that from happening! Thank you!

If you put your thumb under and your fingers on top of the 2 strips and then rotate your hand 90ﾟ away from you, you will prevent the bottom layer of fabric from being pulled through faster then the top layer. This is a technique used in the garment sewing industry because they do not use pins. Glad to see you back in the game!

Thank You so much. I Love your Channel it’s great because you let us know that quilting is not only functional but it is also an art form and everyone should quilt like they want to. “It is just fabric and thread”😊

Bargello is named after a pattern of needlepoint embroidery found on chairs in a palace in Florence. this gives it its other name - Florentine work. In Florence it is known as Hungarian point, because they think it came from Hungary. it is also known in the UK embroidery world as Hungarian work. it is a pattern picked up by quilters because it is so versatile and makes amazing designs.

Oo love the colors. I think it is cool to see a male making quilts. Good job.

I do a lot of strip piecing with 2-1/2 in strips. I totally understand your frustration about keeping the strips from bowing.. My husband (a Marine) seen how much of a hard time I was having with my strip piecing and purchased me the longest metal ruler the hardware store makes.. I believe it is 46", sorry, I'll have to go look and get back with you..It cost about $10 bucks... However, It's perfect and helped tons. You just butt your strip up to the ruler and Iron.. Also, sew a row, iron with lots of steam using ruler, and make sure all our seams are going in same direction.. --- New to your channel and have fallen in love, (waves hello to your lovely wife), watching all of your fabulous video's. --- Glad to see you quilting again.. Stay strong, and know "We got your back"..
