Added: 2026-05-23

[00:00:09]Let me know if you can hear and see me.

[00:00:17]>> You're all in your places with bright shiny faces. Good morning.

[00:00:29]How are you?

[00:00:34]Can you hear and see? Okay.

[00:00:47]Yay. Very good. Okay.

[00:00:53]All right.

[00:00:55]Today we're finishing our door hanger, our door banner, our beautiful door banner.

[00:01:02]I've got all my pieces embroidered and all of the stabilizer, most of it picked off, all of that.

[00:01:14]Um, I also have some some fusible fleece for when uh when we got it all sewed together.

[00:01:23]I got some backing and we'll use this for binding, too.

[00:01:32]And uh today we're just sewing. We're not doing any embroidery.

[00:01:41]Good. I'm glad to hear that in my hands. Yes.

[00:01:53]>> Very good. Okay.

[00:01:56]All right. So, I think we're ready to get going.

[00:02:01]Ready to get going here. So, let's open our book, our instructions, and they tell us how to sew it together, right?

[00:02:14]Because very end here. Let's see. Okay.

[00:02:22]Assembly.

[00:02:25]And you want to pay attention to how they're assembling this, right?

[00:02:30]cornerstone A and cornerstone B. I just go by colors.

[00:02:34]Um I know that uh this is my first block, so I kind of kept them together.

[00:02:41]Okay.

[00:02:43]And the reason we have to pay attention is because this border needs to go all around our block the same. I sewed mine wrong. had to unpick it the first time I did it and I didn't realize that I needed to keep this border around around my blocks. So, set the other ones aside and look and see what we're going to be doing here. So, if I follow the picture, following the picture here, I'm going to put my cornerstones like that and Right. So, you have three.

[00:03:34]You have three that have these two.

[00:03:37]They're all the same. Okay. And then you have one that's, you know, one of these things that don't belong, but it it does belong. Goes to the it goes to the border to the next one. This is the border of our second block. So, let's follow that. They want the dark on top and the light down below.

[00:04:02]And we're going to build it like this.

[00:04:07]Like that.

[00:04:09]Okay.

[00:04:11]This is what it's going to look like.

[00:04:12]And then we have this border that's on the inside right here. And our other two cornerstones are with my other block.

[00:04:22]So, is that making sense? Can you see that really well? I think so.

[00:04:28]So, this is what we're going to sew together. So, if I get my second block, I'm going to go ahead and get my cornerstones on my from my second block because I'm going to want to sew this all together.

[00:04:41]So, I need from my second block that I kept together here, I'm going to get these cornerstones.

[00:04:51]And this one goes on this side and this one goes on that side. And I'm just following the picture.

[00:05:00]You can see that we have this border here with our green border.

[00:05:05]Okay. I'm going to put this back together so mess it up.

[00:05:12]Okay. Are we Is that clear as mud?

[00:05:18]They like to say we have a rainy day. We're having a hot day.

[00:05:28]And it just gets keep keeps getting hotter and hotter.

[00:05:32]Hotter and hotter as the week goes on.

[00:05:39]Okay. So, this is what we're going to sew together. First, I'm going to use clips. I mean, could use pens. Actually, I'm gonna whatever I find first. Pens or clips.

[00:05:53]Okay. So, I got some pins here.

[00:05:58]Um, got I found some pins. This is supposed to go on your wrist, but I'm not going to do that, I don't think. So, let's pin together our first sew.

[00:06:10]So, I'm going to put this one here.

[00:06:14]I'm put this one here.

[00:06:17]And I'm going to put this one here. This one together first.

[00:06:24]Okay.

[00:06:26]Line it up.

[00:06:32]I'll put a couple of pins in mine. You don't really need to pin. I mean, you know, if you're an accomplished sewer, you probably wouldn't need to pin that.

[00:06:44]These short little these short little sews are easy to hold together. And I am using my seem so easy.

[00:06:53]Yeah, I don't have a computer, but I'm just using my phone.

[00:06:58]>> Yeah, you can read it. Yeah.

[00:07:02]Um, so I'm just gonna pin.

[00:07:12]I like to And I'm a panninner when it comes to piecing.

[00:07:20]So, I'm just lining that up. They line up pretty good.

[00:07:29]Put a couple of pins in here and we'll go over to the machine.

[00:07:33]All right. So, I'm going to go like this and like this. I know what I'm doing.

[00:07:37]And I'm going to go over to the machine.

[00:07:40]And that is Oh, get to my screen right here.

[00:07:47]I'll adjust the view if needed.

[00:07:52]So, here's my seam. So easy. And this has the lines for uh the middle quarter quarter of a quarter of an inch on each side. And then, you know, has the grid here. So, it's it's I love this thing.

[00:08:06]This combined with the a quarter inch foot, which I don't have today.

[00:08:10]>> Do you need foot?

[00:08:11]>> Yeah, that'd be great.

[00:08:13]>> Just for the regular not that one.

[00:08:15]>> So that thing right behind your um >> I looked in here.

[00:08:22]>> Oh, >> yeah. No, just >> Oh, just like that. Okay. Well, it won't stay up.

[00:08:31]Oh, okay. I'm finding the feet. Yay. Any help I can get with a quarter inch, I'm in.

[00:08:47]Okay, so this is the quarter inch foot.

[00:08:49]Has a little flange.

[00:08:52]Um, I love my quarter inch foot and with my seam so easy. I I if I'm not lined up, it's 100% on me.

[00:09:05]>> Okay, there we go.

[00:09:06]>> Oh, thank you.

[00:09:09]>> We have neglected Karen. We used to come in here and we would baby her and we'd be like, "Oh my god, what else do you need?" And now we're like, "Oh, hey, get in the hole."

[00:09:22]>> Such I can set myself up. I can start the live.

[00:09:26]>> I'm a big girl. I'm a big girl.

[00:09:30]>> I can do it.

[00:09:32]>> Yeah, you guys are so busy out there.

[00:09:37]Um, let's see. There we go. So, I snapped on my quarter inch foot. I'm gonna see. Can you see? My hands are covering. So, let's see. If my hands are here, where would I have the camera?

[00:09:56]And you can see that flange is lined up just with my line here. So, I'm going to put my my um my material right in there. And it makes it so easy.

[00:10:10]All right.

[00:10:14]Um Make sure.

[00:10:18]Wake up. Wake up, Mr. Aanir.

[00:10:23]Okay.

[00:10:25]So, I'm just lining that up.

[00:10:28]Making sure that my material is lined up.

[00:10:32]You guys see? Okay. I mean, you know, I'm just sewing here. Just putting it together.

[00:10:40]Oh, okay. He woke up.

[00:10:45]Okay.

[00:10:47]Just kind of keep it keep it right there. So, I'm lining up here and I'm lining up there. I've got all these chances to get a perfect quarter inch.

[00:10:59]Okay. And I'm not going to cut that. I'm just going to what do they call that? Chain. Chain piece. Yeah.

[00:11:09]I'm just going to chain piece that together.

[00:11:12]All right.

[00:11:18]Again, I'm watching my line here. I'm watching the plan.

[00:11:33]Let me make sure I'm lined up.

[00:11:40]>> Okay. Here we go.

[00:11:49]Just looking at the comments, questions.

[00:11:55]I missed it. What's What is the template tape? Oh, this is this is Lorie Holtz.

[00:12:01]Uh, seems so easy. You know how you can put the tape on your machine? Well, this is this is just like the tape, but it has a wider grid and um you know, it doesn't mess up your machine as far as like I don't know. I I prefer it because the tape curls and gets all messy and everything. And um I love my seam so easy. And like I said, anytime I can have help with my quarter inch I'm going to get it. I'm going to take it. Here we go.

[00:12:43]So, I'm lining it up with this line down here. I've got my flange.

[00:12:48]So, I should be pretty darn close to the perfect 1/4 inch.

[00:12:55]Okay. Now, I'm going to cut and I got my chain pieces. And we'll go over to go over to the cutting mat. There you go.

[00:13:14]Okay. So, what we can do goes this way.

[00:13:20]Did I do No, it doesn't go that way. It goes this way, right?

[00:13:26]Did I do it wrong already?

[00:13:29]What did I do? How come this one's up here?

[00:13:33]I pick it up wrong.

[00:13:39]That must have No.

[00:13:43]Yeah. What did I do wrong? How could I have messed that up?

[00:13:48]Okay.

[00:13:53]That chair. Hold on. I got to get I got to get situated.

[00:13:58]Okay.

[00:14:01]All right. So, I'm supposed to have Let me cut these.

[00:14:06]Let me cut these apart.

[00:14:10]I don't understand how I could have done that. Right.

[00:14:15]So, it's actually it's supposed to be What did I do?

[00:14:26]Wonder if I did it like that.

[00:14:35]And then just move these over. Is that what I needed to do? Did I have it upside down?

[00:14:45]No, cuz my hearts are upside down now.

[00:14:47]No.

[00:14:49]No, they're not. So, this would go like this. This would go like this. And this would go like that. Let's look at our picture.

[00:14:57]I'm losing my ever loving mind.

[00:15:03]Right.

[00:15:07]Okay.

[00:15:12]This is not supposed to be up here, right?

[00:15:18]OMG. The first sew and I mess it up.

[00:15:22]Look at me. Look at me go.

[00:15:27]Um, no, I'm right. This goes here, right? That and that.

[00:15:37]Okay. And then the next one.

[00:15:41]I'm getting so darn confused. No, I'm good.

[00:15:45]Wow, that was See how easy it is to get discombobulated.

[00:15:53]All right. Pens.

[00:15:57]Grab these.

[00:16:04]What is that? The strip on the left is turned. Yeah.

[00:16:09]I It's so easy to get upside down. Wonder if anyone has an affiliate link for seems. Oh, she sells them here. They should be on the website.

[00:16:21]She sells them here. I know she does.

[00:16:25]the seems so easy.

[00:16:33]So, if they're not on the website, give the store a call and because I know she's got some right here.

[00:16:39]I know it she's got them.

[00:16:43]Okay.

[00:16:45]I have that seems so easy. Yes.

[00:16:51]Yes. Use it. I you know I have the straight stitch machine and I just keep mine on that because I do most of my piecing. It's it's if you do any piecing you you should have it, you know, it's just it just makes such a difference.

[00:17:06]And and I'll show you when I get over to the machine if you're doing any uh half square triangles um anytime you have to sew down the middle and you know they say mark mark all your you know mark all your pieces with a line diagonal. You know they want you to mark it from here to here because that's where you're going to sew or you're going to sew on each side of it and you know cut it. Yeah. Um, you you won't have to do that anymore if you have the seam. So easy. I'll show you when we get over there. Um, yeah, that's that's, you know, worth whatever it is. It's not expensive at all and it's just worth its weight.

[00:18:03]Okay, let's do this last one.

[00:18:09]So yeah, that you do any half square triangles, it makes a huge difference.

[00:18:19]all that time, you know, I did the exploding heart and it's nothing but half square triangles and they're only like two inches.

[00:18:29]You know, they they finish at 2 in each, I think.

[00:18:35]And you do about 500 of them, I feel like.

[00:18:39]And um Okay, so that should be good.

[00:18:43]Trying not to get upside down here.

[00:18:47]Let's go over to the machine.

[00:18:51]So, let's say I have to sew diagonal on this from end to end. I can just put my my point here. Make sure my point is straight under the needle or and then just sew it. I don't you know if you have I I also I would use this and my if you have a laser you know laser line I use that too but that gets you end to end you know just you just follow that in the middle and you're going to be you're going to be spot on. Now, if you have to go to the either side, then you just put your you just put your your point here and sew. And you'll be a quarter of an inch from the middle. And then you would flip it over and do the same thing. I don't use this one. I use this one again. Oh, is my hand in the way this whole time?

[00:19:55]So yeah, you just keep your point there and you just sew and you'll be a quarter of an inch from there from the point.

[00:20:06]And then you would cut down the middle and you have your two triangles.

[00:20:10]I it's it's so worth it. And you know when we put the binding together um you guys will see I will use this for that especially you know um if you're making a quilt. Now I'm going to line up here.

[00:20:26]I'm going to try and if you're making a quilt you know you want to be accurate as accurate as you can possibly be.

[00:20:39]And I'm just going to go.

[00:20:47]Okay, I'm sewing with my shoes on. So, okay, I'm going to line it up here on my line. I'm going to put it up next to that flange.

[00:21:04]There we go.

[00:21:06]Put my foot down manually and move it.

[00:21:09]There we go.

[00:21:11]Oh, come on. Grab it. Grab it. There you go.

[00:21:19]Got to talk to your machine. Does anybody else talk to their machine?

[00:21:32]Me and my machine have long conversations about what I'm sewing.

[00:21:45]You never know with AI, maybe the machine's listening.

[00:21:55]Okay, we got those together.

[00:21:59]All right, and linked.

[00:22:02]Let's go back over here. And now I'm going to give it a little um I should have plugged the iron in. I'm going to give it a little uh a little press. I like to press in between.

[00:22:15]That's not yet. It's right here.

[00:22:22]There we go.

[00:22:28]All right.

[00:22:31]Let's turn it on.

[00:22:34]It's on the cotton.

[00:22:37]All right.

[00:22:40]So, this is what we have so far.

[00:22:43]Is that pretty?

[00:22:48]See what I did?

[00:22:51]Okay. This is this is the what not to do show.

[00:23:02]Out comes Jack to save the day, right?

[00:23:12]Oh, no. It'll just take me a second.

[00:23:19]Just take me a second.

[00:23:23]I fumble with my Come on.

[00:23:38]Jack doesn't want to work today.

[00:23:43]It's like, "Did you mess up again?"

[00:23:47]That's what Jack is saying to me. Okay.

[00:23:50]Got to pay attention, right?

[00:23:52]This goes like that. We want our border.

[00:23:57]All right, back to the machine. Went on the iron anyway, right? It's okay. It's okay.

[00:24:11]It doesn't matter if you get a perfect quarter inch if you're sewing the wrong pieces together. Right.

[00:24:24]You just want to check and make sure you're lined up under there pretty good.

[00:24:39]Okay.

[00:24:42]Now, if I did it again, I'm going home.

[00:24:44]No, I didn't.

[00:24:45]>> I did it right. Let's go back over here.

[00:24:51]Back and forth. Back and forth. I'm going to press.

[00:24:56]Now, doesn't tell you how to press, I don't think.

[00:25:01]Um, but I think I'll press the middle out and these in and then they should nest, right?

[00:25:12]Yeah.

[00:25:14]So, let's do that.

[00:25:18]So this this is how we want to hold it.

[00:25:23]The piece that you are Nope. I want I want I want it this way. I want this in.

[00:25:27]Right.

[00:25:30]Yeah. The piece that you want your seam to go towards.

[00:25:36]Well, it's all right. So I'm just going to do these this way then.

[00:25:43]Okay.

[00:25:46]Pay attention to your seams.

[00:25:49]Okay, these are going that way. I'm going to go in with these.

[00:25:54]Go in towards the middle block cuz I I want them to nest, which is another, you know, another way you got to make sure that you're nesting so that um these little These little corners will line up as good as we can, you know.

[00:26:21]Okay, these are going in. These are going out.

[00:26:24]These need to go out.

[00:26:27]They already are.

[00:26:30]Okay, so now we have a nice little press on here. Big iron. Okay, so now we're going to flip this way and we're going to nest these seams.

[00:26:45]You can see, I don't know if you can, that they are going to come together.

[00:26:50]They're going to butt up against each other. That's That's the first pin I'm going to put in.

[00:26:57]Make sure I put my glasses on.

[00:27:01]Okay. Make sure that they are solid, locked. And then I'm going to put a pin to where I'm catching the flap on this side and the flap on this side.

[00:27:13]And then that should hold it nicely.

[00:27:17]Don't really care what's happening over here. I can make that work. Whatever.

[00:27:21]Whatever it is, I just want those those intersections to meet. You know, I might have a little bit of room in here.

[00:27:33]So, I'm going to put a pin in here just because I'm going to have to ease that in.

[00:27:40]Let's go here and do the same thing.

[00:27:43]And we're going to put them up here on top.

[00:27:51]You have a little hangover.

[00:27:54]Line up these. Don't worry about your little hangover.

[00:27:58]Okay.

[00:28:00]Again, I'm going to catch both little flaps in my pin so that it doesn't move.

[00:28:09]Let's line it up good.

[00:28:16]Let's put one here in the middle. See, you've got some easing in to do. And when you have this, you you want big on bottom. Think Bob.

[00:28:27]Big on bottom. The big piece is you need to So that needs the feed dogs need to catch this stuff.

[00:28:38]And it should I'm going to put lots of pens in here just to make sure that this down.

[00:28:57]Yeah, I want to make sure that my intersections meet and I'll I'll ease that in the best I can. Okay, so let's go over there. Try not to get a pucker, right? We don't We don't like puckers.

[00:29:12]Nobody likes puckers.

[00:29:16]Okay.

[00:29:20]I have my bigger piece on the bottom on the feed dogs. And that's what you want.

[00:29:26]Sew right up to your pins, but don't sew over your pins.

[00:29:30]I know sometimes. And if you need to sew over your pen, get right up to your pen and then turn the wheel and go slow because sometimes you do. Sometimes you need to to um you need to sew over the pin just to keep it locked and whatever, you know, especially when you're trying to piece something that's being stubborn.

[00:30:00]Okay, I'm going right up to my pins as close as I possibly can.

[00:30:05]And I think we're good. I don't think we got any puckers there.

[00:30:09]And I think I hopefully I still have my intersections lined up. But we'll see. You know, it's always a surprise, isn't it?

[00:30:28]What I think I've done really well is when I open it up and I'm like, "What happened?" All right, let's go over and see what we got.

[00:30:39]Did I move you guys over? I hope I did.

[00:30:41]I hope I did.

[00:30:46]You found it. Excellent. You are going to love it, Michelle. You're going to love it.

[00:30:53]You're going to know. You're gonna think, "How did I even How did I even ex How did I even sew without it?" Get out, Jack.

[00:31:04]Yes. Yeah. Jack has to make an appearance in every single one of my sew alongs.

[00:31:10]All right. So, I'm gonna I've got polyester here, so I want to be careful on I don't want that on my iron.

[00:31:17]So, when you have um when you have stabilizer like this, it's It's polyester, so it's going to melt. So, don't just put your iron on there. And All right, let's see. Drum roll.

[00:31:33]Hey, we did pretty good. Look at that.

[00:31:36]I'll I'll uh Oh, but I got a pucker.

[00:31:38]Look.

[00:31:40]I don't like that. I do not like that.

[00:31:44]Okay, so deal with my pucker here.

[00:32:00]I don't like that mother peppers, right?

[00:32:23]So, so I'm I, you know, I want my intersections to be perfect, but I don't want a big pucker in the middle of my door hanger either. If I were going to um quilt this, you know, I might might not because quilting um quilting helps a lot of that.

[00:32:51]All right. So, it's going to be off. It'll be off just a little bit, but that's okay.

[00:33:03]So, I'm going to straighten this out.

[00:33:09]We're doing a lot of resos.

[00:33:11]I'm like, oh, this should be a nice easy sew. I've done it a million times. Well, not a million. I think Maybe three.

[00:33:21]Maybe three bar.

[00:33:25]Okay, I'm going put a pin in the middle of this cuz I just don't want to pucker.

[00:33:31]And I may have to sacrifice my my junction here a little bit.

[00:33:38]I'm going to try and ease that out this way.

[00:33:44]Still get my Okay. All right. Look at all those pins for that tiny little section. Sometimes it just wants to be annoying.

[00:34:01]And that is today. So, because I'm starting, I'm going to go back a couple of stitches just to lock it in. Let's see if I Let's see if I can't What?

[00:34:31]My bobin's almost empty.

[00:34:36]All right, let's see what we got.

[00:34:41]Okay, let's go over here.

[00:34:46]Okay, here we go. I'm a little off, but I don't have a pucker.

[00:34:51]So, I'm just a tiny bit off. Think anybody will notice?

[00:35:00]You guys see? Just a little off here.

[00:35:05]Just maybe two stitches.

[00:35:09]I mean, you know, I'm not that much of a perfectionist.

[00:35:17]Another thing you can do, which I've done, is um measure, you know, put everything out and measure and make sure that I have good measurements of everything.

[00:35:30]Okay. Again, I'm going to line up my little junctions here.

[00:35:56]This is so cute when it's done.

[00:35:59]Oh, and I made a pillow for my sewing room.

[00:36:04]Pillow that I have a little chair in there.

[00:36:08]Nobody sits in.

[00:36:10]Well, my cat does.

[00:36:13]My cat does.

[00:36:17]Easy in there, too. Little short.

[00:36:22]Don't you love quilting?

[00:36:29]I actually do love quilting. I like piecing. I like quilting.

[00:36:38]I love all that stuff.

[00:36:43]What foot am I using? I am using the quarter inch foot. I'll show you. Let me move you over.

[00:36:51]I'm using the It has this flange here.

[00:36:56]And that's what you put your um fabric right up against that flange.

[00:37:05]And then that's a quarter of an inch away from your needle.

[00:37:09]Oh yeah.

[00:37:18]So I have that fl Oh, you know what? I'm out of bobin, right?

[00:37:23]I forgot.

[00:37:26]Okay.

[00:37:29]Where's me? Here we go. All right. So, I'm just going to lift this off.

[00:37:34]Keep the tape on it. And I'm just going to grab a pre-wound.

[00:37:41]I'm just going to grab a pre-wound and throw it in there.

[00:37:48]I don't think this will get a lot of a lot of washing. What happened to the bobbins? They used to be right here. Oh, here they are. Okay.

[00:38:02]just grabbing a pre-wound when we're doing the um binding.

[00:38:09]I do have um I do have a green color. It's going to be a green color wound bobin. Okay, let's put my So, when you when you install this, you want to make sure that you're not on the feed dogs. That's about the only requirement. And you have your three lines on your on your little um cover for your bobin. Um I you can line up one of these lines with your your um plate.

[00:38:42]And that should be fine. And then I just put some tape down.

[00:38:49]I'm a little off. I don't like that. I mean just barely. But let's see.

[00:38:58]Get overhead. There we go. Put down the tape.

[00:39:03]And we're back in business.

[00:39:07]Okay. I've been dropping pins.

[00:39:13]Got to pick those up.

[00:39:16]All right.

[00:39:30]up to that pin.

[00:39:34]Pull it out at the last second.

[00:39:47]This looks This is the part that I need to kind of ease in here.

[00:39:52]Let me get closer to my pen.

[00:39:58]Okay.

[00:40:10]All right.

[00:40:12]Let's see how we did.

[00:40:15]Put my pins up here. I keep knocking them on the floor.

[00:40:19]There we go. All right. All right, let's see what we got.

[00:40:25]It's always a surprise.

[00:40:29]Oh, I think we did pretty good. Well, no, we're a little off here. We are a little off there. You know, what are you going to do?

[00:40:44]We try We try as hard as we can.

[00:40:47]There was something about this side, right? this side.

[00:40:53]Yeah.

[00:40:56]Very well. But I mean, it's okay.

[00:41:00]It's okay.

[00:41:02]You might, you know, if if that bothers you, then um rip it out.

[00:41:14]This side's perfect.

[00:41:16]Funny how that works.

[00:41:19]side is a naughty naughty side. Okay, I'll show you my pillow. This is my pillow. Look at my pillow.

[00:41:36]Isn't it precious?

[00:41:39]It's so cute. Little 12 by 12.

[00:41:45]I just love it. Sits in my chair. Looks so cute.

[00:41:50]Okay.

[00:41:52]Need a distraction from this. Right.

[00:41:54]Look at my beautiful pillow. Okay.

[00:42:00]All right.

[00:42:01]We're on to block two.

[00:42:06]This is the border for block two.

[00:42:09]Remember that.

[00:42:12]This is the border.

[00:42:16]So our sew goes there.

[00:42:18]See much bigger that is. Right.

[00:42:23]Border here.

[00:42:26]Border here. Let's just sew those together. And then on our third block, we'll sew we'll sew it like this.

[00:42:34]All right.

[00:42:36]Okay. Let's do it.

[00:42:40]I'm going to pin both sides just because I don't think they'll get in the way.

[00:42:52]Hopefully I don't have to come back over here.

[00:43:19]with all the stabilizer and stuff. It's kind of hard to see if you're lined up properly.

[00:43:31]Lining up here is is kind of important, too. It's just makes it lie better.

[00:43:41]And if that part, you know, if this part out here is like all wonky or whatever, pin it. Pin it down here.

[00:43:49]All right, let's go back and sew these two sides.

[00:43:59]Okay, drop my foot. Line it up.

[00:44:03]Get going.

[00:44:08]sewing with my shoe on.

[00:44:18]It's funny how dependent you get on sewing with either a sock or my barefoot.

[00:44:28]It just feels different.

[00:44:33]Okay.

[00:44:51]He's so adorable. It is adorable.

[00:44:54]Hello.

[00:44:58]No one will notice. It looks right. I know. People tell me that all the time.

[00:45:02]Don't point out your mistakes.

[00:45:09]I know. I do that all the time. I'm really I'm very bad about that.

[00:45:17]Okay, there's our sewing machine. Let's go back over here. Let's just give it I'm going to do this. Let's see. These are going these seams are going out that way.

[00:45:28]So, I want these seams to go towards my my sewing machine here. So, I'm going to hold this one up.

[00:45:41]And I'm going to shimmy that on there. And then I'm going to do the same here. The piece that you want it to go towards, you hold it up.

[00:45:51]And that should be good. Let's go ahead and sew it. Let's go ahead and sew it to our banner, shall we? Try to line up those intersections.

[00:46:05]It's fun. They should nest.

[00:46:10]It should help those little flaps in there.

[00:46:29]pens are dull.

[00:46:32]Okay, we go this side.

[00:46:38]Yeah, this I don't want any puckers.

[00:46:57]So, what are you guys sewing? Are you sewing this? Are you sewing something else?

[00:47:05]Water.

[00:47:10]So dry here.

[00:47:15]I feel like I have cotton mouth.

[00:47:19]Okay.

[00:47:26]Yeah, I think this will be good. So, we'll go over to the machine.

[00:47:33]This thing does come together really quickly.

[00:47:38]And just looks adorable.

[00:47:45]I'm going to hang this one on my sewing room door.

[00:47:57]It'll match my pillow.

[00:48:00]How cute is that?

[00:48:04]Okay, there we go.

[00:48:11]Whoa.

[00:48:15]Okay, these pens up here before I knock them on the floor. Cut.

[00:48:23]And let's go. Let's see what we got.

[00:48:30]Okay, fingers crossed.

[00:48:33]That looks pretty good.

[00:48:37]I am going to Yeah, that looks really good.

[00:48:42]I'm going to Get this ironed.

[00:48:50]Yeah.

[00:48:53]Pretty pretty pretty.

[00:48:59]Oh, seams are thick.

[00:49:02]Okay, we'll give it a good iron when we're all done. All right, on to the third section.

[00:49:10]This is so cute. Every time I make it, I'm like, "Oh my god, I love this."

[00:49:15]That needs an ironing, huh?

[00:49:23]Okay.

[00:49:29]All right. Let's look at our picture because Lord knows I don't know what I'm doing.

[00:49:34]Okay, we're gonna have Let's see. These are our hearts.

[00:49:45]And it looks like we have one with this and one like this. And like I said, I'm looking at the picture here. Yours probably won't have that, but I'm looking at this picture here. So, there's a dark one and a bold one.

[00:49:58]And our inner border on this one looks like it's this this lighter lighter purple.

[00:50:10]So, how can I Oh, see I have one. I have to find the one that has the right border for my for my sewing machine. Got to make sure I put that down there.

[00:50:24]Okay.

[00:50:26]Gold. And then the dark.

[00:50:30]And then the light.

[00:50:33]And then the light. Let's sew that together. Let's sew this together. And then uh we'll sew these and then we'll add it to our machine. That'll be done.

[00:50:44]Sorry, I'm trying to stay camera.

[00:50:50]So cute.

[00:50:54]So many different colorways you can do with this, too.

[00:50:59]Okay, I'm go ahead and pin this on here.

[00:51:14]Look at the com. So cute. I know. Are you going to make one, Michelle?

[00:51:20]You're so barefoot, too. I know. It's just I I don't know. I feel like, you know, because I can feel a little more.

[00:51:27]I'm more in control. I don't know. It's just more comfortable, isn't it?

[00:51:32]But I don't have carpet in my my sewing room, so that would scare me because I dropped pins and stuff.

[00:51:42]Okay, let's go over and just sew this one quickly.

[00:52:01]It's poking out there. I'm just going to kind of pull the bottom piece a little bit just so they're lined up. Not much.

[00:52:08]If there's a whole bunch, I'm not going to tweak it that much. But if it's just peeking, I will I'll scooch it in. Cut.

[00:52:26]I love my seam. So easy.

[00:52:31]Is that threaded? Yeah, I guess it is.

[00:52:34]Okay, calm down.

[00:52:41]Wants to go. I should I should just slow it down on the little button up here.

[00:52:44]Huh? That way if I I forget I can do that. Isn't that just amazing? That was one thing when I upgraded from my, you know, little $100 sewing machine from Jo-Ann's to to one of these machines. I'm like, "Oh my god, I can slow it down to nothing."

[00:53:10]So nice.

[00:53:12]Okay, there's that.

[00:53:15]All right, we got to try and Yeah, that should go a little short here.

[00:53:26]All right, let's try Let's try and put it on our banner.

[00:53:35]Which way is that? Yeah, she missed.

[00:53:40]She missed. Here we go.

[00:53:46]I like it when the pattern tells me which way to press.

[00:53:52]That is like a quality of life thing.

[00:53:56]For me, you have to think about it every time you press.

[00:54:11]They don't have that direction on there.

[00:54:13]I'm gonna have to work this one in. This one's a little It's a little big here. I don't mind a little hangover, but I don't want I don't want like a whole quarter inch or whatever.

[00:54:29]Okay.

[00:54:31]Pin the middle of that.

[00:54:33]Nothing baggy there, but hopefully we'll be able to. We got some bag here, too.

[00:54:44]I'm put I'm going to pin the you know what out of this just to make it mind. Hopefully it will pucker. Here we go.

[00:55:05]Getting longer.

[00:55:09]Okay.

[00:55:22]That's a nice pace. I like that pace.

[00:55:27]Don't you dare pucker.

[00:55:38]Oh, I don't like that.

[00:55:43]Okay.

[00:55:47]I might have a pucker there. I'm going to have to check.

[00:55:59]I'm sticking my fingers in there, but just trying to keep it flat.

[00:56:06]I might have a little pucker back there.

[00:56:12]Don't know why I, you know, like I said, I've made so many of these. And of course, this one is going to give me the most problems.

[00:56:26]I think I do. I think I do.

[00:56:29]Let me look.

[00:56:31]Yep, I do.

[00:56:41]Just going to sew this little area here.

[00:56:46]I hate puckers.

[00:56:48]Like I said, if if I'm going to quilt this, if you know, there's going to be like an intricate quilting on there. I don't mind a little pucker. These are kind of big puckers. So, I'm just taking this one stitch out. I'm hoping I can Straighten it out a little bit.

[00:57:08]Yeah. Maybe, maybe, maybe.

[00:57:16]Okay.

[00:57:19]Yeah. Let's see. Yeah. Hopefully.

[00:57:25]Hopefully. Let's do it from this side.

[00:57:28]I'm going to go back a couple just because I want to lock it.

[00:57:34]Okay, I won't. The machine said no.

[00:57:39]Okay.

[00:57:46]Well, at least you're kind of learning what to do. It won't cooperate.

[00:57:54]I need to add it to my growing list.

[00:57:56]Yes, I know.

[00:58:01]There are some things. Yes, I think that's better. Yep. No more pucker. We got it. Um, there are just some things that make a huge difference, you know, in in your sewing room. And like I said, anything that will help me with with my quarter inch, I I'm I'm in.

[00:58:27]Count me in on that one.

[00:58:30]And it's really an expensive way. It's um you know, it's not like buying one of those laser things or whatever, which if your machine doesn't have one, that that's something to really consider.

[00:58:46]It's really nice to have.

[00:58:50]Some things are nice to haves and others I just can't live without.

[00:58:59]Okay, let's see how this is going cuz see look at look at how you know puckered I am already.

[00:59:10]Well, you know, okay, so here's our saving grace and I forgot about that this until now. We are going to fuse some fusible fleece on this. So when we do that, some of these, you know, wrinkly looking areas um should straighten out.

[00:59:30]That's probably that's a helpful using using fusible fleece instead of adding on something like this is helpful.

[00:59:49]But it's adorable regardless.

[00:59:54]I can't wait to hang mine up. I'm excited.

[01:00:01]You I just walk into my sewing room and I I just smile and it's a smile just comes on my face.

[01:00:09]I just love my sewing room.

[01:00:12]Okay, let's go.

[01:00:17]Let's go sew it.

[01:00:43]Okay, looks good.

[01:00:47]Yeah, got right up to that right up to that stitch.

[01:00:52]I didn't get into it. So, I'm happy. I'm happy with that.

[01:01:16]Okay, we are getting there. Let's see what it looks like. I need to fix anything. No, we're looking good. Looking good. Let's go back over and iron. A lot of ironing.

[01:01:32]Okay.

[01:01:35]Which way are these going? These are going out.

[01:01:39]These both going out. So, these need to go in. So, I'm going to lift up this piece because I want to go towards that one.

[01:01:48]And I'm going to press.

[01:01:54]Okay. Same here.

[01:01:57]Um, I want to go towards this piece.

[01:02:04]We'll do it like that.

[01:02:13]Let's go ahead and put it on our banner.

[01:02:20]Just move them right along.

[01:02:25]Snug those in.

[01:02:33]This one up. Looks good.

[01:02:47]Now we'll worry about these.

[01:02:50]I need to grab some pins. I've been collecting them at the machine here.

[01:02:56]Okay.

[01:03:09]here. Get this wire up pretty good here.

[01:03:14]I say that and then jinx oursel.

[01:03:25]Okay, I think that's pretty good.

[01:03:29]Sew it.

[01:03:35]>> Got a little bit more to maneuver around here.

[01:03:42]Okay, there we go.

[01:04:19]Okay.

[01:04:23]Let's see what we got.

[01:04:30]So, how many of you guys here are going to be Oh, that looks really good. A little off there, but not bad. It looks good to me.

[01:04:40]Um, going to the quilt show here in Reno.

[01:04:45]Anybody here going I love the quilt show here. Oh my gosh, look. We're almost done. Of course, I haven't been to like one of the huge ones, but All right, let's see. They want green on this side and light blue on this side.

[01:05:10]Getting excited.

[01:05:14]I like seeing all the new stuff and you know a lot of the vendors have like kits for some really pretty quilts or just projects and stuff. I just love seeing all that stuff going the right direction.

[01:05:43]All right, let's go.

[01:05:52]Almost done with our little banner.

[01:06:00]I'm making this pro I'm making this look a lot harder than it is.

[01:06:06]It's actually very easy to piece together and But that's my superpower. I make things a lot more difficult than they should be and I'm just used to it because that's me.

[01:06:34]It's just how it is.

[01:06:37]Okay.

[01:06:42]All right, some ironing.

[01:06:46]Okay, let's look at our These are going in.

[01:06:52]So, we want these to go out. That's easy. Okay, let's do that.

[01:07:06]Okay, now they should nest.

[01:07:14]And they do.

[01:07:21]Do I have any questions about nesting seams? Does everybody kind of understand what that means?

[01:07:30]If you have any questions, I mean, I can show you. just let me know.

[01:07:36]I know some people, you know, might be really new to sewing.

[01:07:43]We have all these words for stuff that, you know, if you're not if you're new, you don't understand, and that's fine.

[01:07:53]But ask and you shall receive the answer.

[01:08:00]Okay?

[01:08:08]All right, that fit pretty good. So, let's go sew it. We don't need any more pins, I don't think.

[01:08:17]Okay.

[01:08:20]Look at us go.

[01:08:23]Okay.

[01:08:27]Okay. See how that green's peeking out a little bit? I'm going to get under there and I'm just going to kind of scooch it by hand.

[01:08:38]I'm going to go right up to this pin because it's holding my seam. I'm going to go slow, slow, slow, slow. There we go. Hopefully, I got it.

[01:08:50]Okay.

[01:08:55]The combination of the quarter inch foot and this the seems so easy is I mean you could just zoom along if you weren't worrying about you know intersections coming together and all that. You could just zoom.

[01:09:16]Okay, let's let's see our banner.

[01:09:23]Okay. Going this way. Oh, it's pretty good.

[01:09:30]Pretty darn good. I'm happy with that. I think it's so pretty.

[01:09:35]So, so pretty.

[01:09:38]I've seen so many pretty um colorways on Facebook of this.

[01:09:46]I just I want to make them all good iron.

[01:09:53]Because now we're going to start getting it ready to hang getting it all put together that way.

[01:10:04]All done with that.

[01:10:07]Okay.

[01:10:09]Now, you know, you can and and and if you were doing a big quilt like this, I would I would have measured each block and made sure that it was, you know, within an eighth of an inch what it was supposed to be and stuff like that. But I didn't do that with this one. Sometimes too, if I have a quilt block that's like really off, like say half an inch, I will soak it with um Easy Press and then I'll I will actually stretch it and pin it to my wool mat, you know, all stretched where I want it to be. And I'll pin it and I'll let it dry overnight. And that that really makes a difference. If you have a block that is just all wonky. Just get it nice and and and wet with a starch and then pin it to your board and let it dry and then give it a good iron. And I'm telling you, it works miracles.

[01:11:14]That is just so I can't remember who who I learned. It was a YouTuber and I can't remember who I learned it from, but um or I saw her do it and I'm like, "Oh, that's genius."

[01:11:28]So, little tidbit there.

[01:11:30]So, now let's um let's get our let's get out our fleece. Let's put our fleece on it.

[01:11:39]I cut my fleece just a little wider.

[01:11:43]Much wider, but it's a little wider.

[01:11:46]So, first you have the the gritty side, and that's the side with the Now, this is where you can kind of smooth out stuff because It's going to stick, you know, a little little pucker there. We still have a little tiny one, you know. Let's try and get those things out um with this. Okay. I just have a little tiny mat here, so I have to do a little bit at a time. Normally, I would take this to my ironing board and and um you know, really really get aggressive with it.

[01:12:25]So, yeah, just kind of do that and we'll just start we'll just start getting our our batting on here.

[01:12:38]Don't want to get your iron on that batting.

[01:12:43]We'll turn it over and do it from the other side, too.

[01:12:49]Okay. Just kind of stretch it out. Get it nice and smooth as we can.

[01:13:03]Use use the fleece to kind of iron out anything you don't like.

[01:13:11]This here, that's what I did. I just kind of stretched it out a little bit. Not much.

[01:13:25]I don't want it to look, you know, want to get it all off, but I can smooth out some things, right?

[01:13:37]It's looking good. Cut this off a little long.

[01:13:44]Maybe we'll cut off the sides, too.

[01:13:48]I'll do that with a rotary cutter, I think.

[01:13:54]We want our We want our Which way is our seam going? It's going this way. So, let's make sure our seam is going the same direction. You don't want You don't want part of your seam going up and down. Then you'll have a big bump in here.

[01:14:12]Okay.

[01:14:14]So, and they can get these seams are a little thick because they have the stabilizer all stuff in them. So, sometimes you just got to make a mind.

[01:14:27]Okay.

[01:14:29]So, I got that down. Now, I'm going to turn it over and I'm going to do it from this side. And that way I can get all the edges.

[01:14:37]Now, the iron doesn't like to move around on this too much. So, there's going to be a lot of pickup.

[01:14:44]Press.

[01:14:48]Press.

[01:14:52]And just get those edges.

[01:15:00]Doesn't have to be perfect.

[01:15:03]What are we going to do next? I'm going to cut these off. And then we're going to get our backing on here.

[01:15:10]Right.

[01:15:12]I don't have my backing cut to size, but it shouldn't take too long.

[01:15:26]I'm trying to get these sides as much as I can.

[01:15:30]You could also take it over to the machine or if you have a serger and zigzag around the edge.

[01:15:41]That'll all be hidden by the um binding.

[01:15:46]So, you could do that.

[01:15:49]You know, just take it to your serger and cut all that off. And that would be easy, huh?

[01:15:56]Okay.

[01:15:59]All right. There's my little There it is. Look at that. And see how we have our borders. See how we have our borders? All the borders are the same.

[01:16:11]This is This is really the only important part of this whole this whole >> Oh, yeah. Just set one aside for me, H.

[01:16:27]Okay, we got our backing.

[01:16:33]We got our backing.

[01:16:35]How's everybody doing?

[01:16:39]I know. I love it, too.

[01:16:42]I have like a bazillion layer cakes and I'm thinking, "Oh my gosh, this would look good. This would look I'm looking at all my layer cakes going on."

[01:16:52]But how many do you need? Of course, you know, you could just make them and then force your friends to take it, right?

[01:17:02]You have to take it. It's my gift to you.

[01:17:05]Okay, I'm going to kind of tidy up here because I need the cutting space and I don't want to um I want to um I don't want to cut on something I shouldn't.

[01:17:28]Okay, so I've got my backing. Look at my pretty backing.

[01:17:33]They have some more left here.

[01:17:37]Thank you.

[01:17:38]Okay.

[01:17:41]So, first thing I'm going to do is get rid of these edges of my my fleece. Okay.

[01:17:50]And yeah, she has I'm going to reach I'm going to get in the way of the camera.

[01:17:55]I'm going to grab a Here we go.

[01:17:58]Okay.

[01:18:00]Got a nice long ruler.

[01:18:04]And >> you can kind of square it up.

[01:18:10]And how I square up is I would put my ruler, you know, along this seam here.

[01:18:18]And then I don't want to cut that much off of my glue now. Move it over here.

[01:18:30]And you might have some fleece on here when you're when you're squaring it up. And that's fine.

[01:18:38]It's all going to be hidden by the um it'll all be hidden by the um binding.

[01:18:51]These are your words, Karen. These are your words.

[01:18:55]Okay.

[01:18:59]again this scene here.

[01:19:04]>> I mean, you know, it's a wall hanging.

[01:19:06]It's not it's not a quilt that's going to a museum, but you want it to hang good. Good. You want it to hang good.

[01:19:21]You want it to hang proper. I don't know what's the word.

[01:19:29]trash. Go. There's one side.

[01:19:32]Let's just do the other. Flip it around.

[01:19:38]Okay.

[01:19:40]And I'm going to find that seam just and then I'm going to go close to the edge I can.

[01:19:50]Taking out too much material. I don't want to do that because, you know, all of my little border pieces here need to be kind of the same. Looking the same, right?

[01:20:01]So, we're going to have binding, too.

[01:20:13]And that's going to cover some of our our um little strips there. We don't want them to disappear.

[01:20:24]Okay.

[01:20:28]line up here. This doesn't really line up. It's one of my off ones.

[01:20:34]So, just kind of go across here. Maybe straight as I can.

[01:20:43]Right.

[01:20:46]Go. Let's do the other one.

[01:20:50]No matter what, it's going to be gorge.

[01:20:52]This is gorgeous.

[01:20:55]I hope you all make this and I hope you hang it up somewhere in your sewing space because I guarantee you it'll make you happy. It'll make you happy when you look at it.

[01:21:07]And that's what we need, right? Is all the happy stuff around us. Okay, we are not quilting this. You could you could at this point put the back on maybe go through some, you know, But I'm not going to.

[01:21:28]Okay, here's my here's my backing. I'm kind of limited in space here, so I'm I'm going to look cramped because I am. Okay, it is long enough, I think. Yeah, so it's long enough. The width of fabric, I think that's what I'm going to use. So, I'm just going to put this here.

[01:21:52]Smooth it out.

[01:21:55]put it right up to the um salvage.

[01:22:02]That's probably pretty straight, right?

[01:22:09]The top.

[01:22:13]Okay, I'm just going to rough cut first with some scissors and then I'm going to cut with my rotary.

[01:22:26]So, I know you can't see me. I'm down here doing a rough cut.

[01:22:34]I'm close, but okay, there's my rough cut.

[01:22:44]Now I'm going to start cutting it off just like I don't want to cut any more off of my line right up just massage.

[01:23:13]It's not hooked together, Karen. Here we go.

[01:23:22]You should probably pin it. Maybe that would be a good idea.

[01:23:39]Smart. You could be smart. Have a big brain. I don't have a big brain.

[01:23:46]I muddle through.

[01:23:50]Okay.

[01:23:52]Go ahead and cut this bottom.

[01:24:04]Okay.

[01:24:06]That's a good piece. Keep that one.

[01:24:09]for the salary.

[01:24:12]Now we're going to do the other side and try to hold this together.

[01:24:20]Hold it together.

[01:24:23]Flip it.

[01:24:27]Make sure it's lined up.

[01:24:33]Go.

[01:24:35]See, again, I'm making Well, I'm kind of I'm working in a very small space, so this is not normally how I would do things, but you know, you do what you do. Do what you got to do.

[01:25:21]Now I'm going to put a couple of pins in here now that I've cut it.

[01:25:30]Maybe just in the corners so I can move it around and it won't get off track here.

[01:25:43]How are you guys with binding?

[01:25:46]Do you love it? Do you hate it?

[01:25:54]I actually enjoy binding. Am I a weirdo?

[01:26:01]I I think I enjoy it though because I know it's the last step.

[01:26:07]I'm like, woohoo, I get to bind. It's the last thing to do.

[01:26:21]I'm just pinning this so that I can won't fall apart when I move it around.

[01:26:37]There's our backing. Pretty pretty pretty pretty.

[01:26:43]Okay.

[01:26:45]Okay.

[01:26:46]binding.

[01:26:50]>> No, I'm just going to take this.

[01:27:00]>> So, what what Okay, so let's find out how much we need, right? Let's find out how much we need. Do we I do have a I'm going to measure this.

[01:27:12]Okay, mine. Everybody's going to be different.

[01:27:18]Mine is 29.

[01:27:20]It's probably a different on this side.

[01:27:23]You never know.

[01:27:25]29.

[01:27:27]So we're 29 by 12.

[01:27:32]Yeah. So 29 29 and 29. So we'll just say 60 both sides. 60 12 72 So, let's cut 10 inches more. 82.

[01:27:51]Yeah. 82 90. Just Yeah. Give yourself some grace.

[01:28:00]This is usually 44.

[01:28:03]Let me find out. Let's see. I'm just going to fold it in half and measure this.

[01:28:10]10 18. Yeah.

[01:28:16]18 really 10.

[01:28:26]So 36.

[01:28:30]All right. So I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to cut it on this side.

[01:28:35]So let's see what this is.

[01:28:38]16 32 32 and I what did I need about 90 quilt now right tape I usually have to write these things down or I forget okay so I'm just going to kind of line this up and if this is what did I say it 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 15.

[01:29:16]So we'll say 30 369. Let's cut three of them, right?

[01:29:22]And I have a two and a half.

[01:29:26]This is a little peak into how my mind works.

[01:29:35]You don't want to go there, right?

[01:29:37]two and a half. And I'm going to cut three of these.

[01:29:42]That's my binding.

[01:30:01]>> How did What did we say about binding?

[01:30:03]Do we hate it, love it?

[01:30:05]I have to Oh, you have to leave. Okay.

[01:30:08]Well, thanks for being here.

[01:30:11]I'm interested to see how it's done.

[01:30:13]Okay. Yeah, let's do it. Absolutely.

[01:30:18]I m I for I machine sew the front and hand sew. Oh, you hand sew.

[01:30:30]God bless you.

[01:30:32]Yeah. You know, if you're just sitting down in front of the TV or whatever, love binding. Yeah, some Yeah, some people do. I know. We're like weirdos. I know a lot of people are like, "Oh, binding. I don't want to do it."

[01:30:49]It is satisfying, isn't it? Okay, we've got two. We're going to do three. That should be 90, right?

[01:30:57]I don't know. We're going to see what happens. I'm going to get rid of this salvage. I only have this really huge ruler. So, let's get rid of the salvage. I'm just going to line something up here. Take We've got We've got a lot. So, we don't have to worry about taking a little bit off.

[01:31:19]There's one.

[01:31:22]And we only have salvage on one end here.

[01:31:29]We don't want any salvage. So, let's just get rid of that. There's two.

[01:31:39]I sew to the back of my of my quilts and machine sew the front. And that's what we're going to do today.

[01:31:49]Okay.

[01:31:51]All right. Now, we have to make these one long strip, right?

[01:31:56]So, let's go to the machine and do that.

[01:31:58]Let's just take all of our strips.

[01:32:01]Let's grab them. Let's go to the machine.

[01:32:04]Machine.

[01:32:06]Don't need any pins or anything. I'm going to I'm going to change my foot, though. This flange will get in my way.

[01:32:13]So, I'm going to change my foot to just the J foot or open toe foot, whatever is your favorite foot.

[01:32:22]Got my three strips on my lap here.

[01:32:25]and put one right side up.

[01:32:29]And I'm going to put the other what is this? Perpendicular.

[01:32:38]I'm going to put it like that on top of each other.

[01:32:42]So, I'm just lining them up.

[01:32:48]Okay. And this is where my my middle line comes in, right? Cuz I want to go here. No, I don't want to go there.

[01:32:57]Okay, this is how I remember how because I'm going to cut it off. So, if I went this way, I'd be cutting off.

[01:33:07]Yeah, it wouldn't work. So, we want to go this way.

[01:33:14]Okay.

[01:33:17]So, I'm going to line it up. You can pin it.

[01:33:26]Um, it's a short little jaunt.

[01:33:29]And I can hold it with my hands until I get there. But you got this corner here.

[01:33:34]Needs Oh, you probably can't see the corner of the bottom one. I'm lining up with the middle line. Okay. That's That's how I'm going to And then I I put my needle down the foot down. And I make sure my needle is lined up on that corner.

[01:33:55]Let's get it under there first.

[01:33:59]Okay. You can even put your needle down to hold it.

[01:34:04]Okay. I I'm pretty good here, so I'm just going to go. And you can keep, you know, kind of peek underneath here. Lift it up like that.

[01:34:13]Peek underneath there as you're sewing.

[01:34:16]I got to have my hand here. So hopefully Okay, this isn't going to be perfect, but So I'm just making sure that my my corner underneath there is right up the middle.

[01:34:36]Let's see what we got. Don't have to back stitch or anything.

[01:34:41]And then you hold it like this.

[01:34:46]See, I was a little off in the beginning, but that's not a big deal.

[01:34:51]So, this is what this is what you have.

[01:34:54]Okay. Now, we got to do the other side.

[01:34:57]So, let's see. We got to make one long strip. So, I'm just getting the end of that one. Putting it up.

[01:35:04]Putting this one, this third strip, right side together.

[01:35:11]Got to make sure I'm lined up here.

[01:35:15]Put my foot down.

[01:35:18]Put my needle down right at that corner.

[01:35:22]Make sure I've got I'm right here.

[01:35:26]This one will be better. This one will be better because I'll hold on to it better.

[01:35:32]Still I I can lift this up and see if my point is still there. I'm still good.

[01:35:39]Just kind of peek under there as I go there.

[01:35:47]And then we should have one long strip like that. Okay. You can do them end to end too. Doesn't matter.

[01:35:57]This one kind of distributes the uh this way kind of distributes the seam um over, you know, as you're wrapping it around. It's not one thick one. It's it's just kind of wraps around so it's not as thick. I mean, that's the uh benefit, I guess.

[01:36:20]>> The benefit of doing it this way. So, let's just get some scissors and we're just going to cut off.

[01:36:28]We're going to cut off those um we're going to cut this off. We've looked at it. We've made sure. Yeah, it looks good. Always do that before you cut this off.

[01:36:39]Okay, we're going to cut it off about a quarter of an inch. I'm not even worried about it.

[01:36:49]You can be precise. Lay it down. put a ruler on there, do all that. You can do that.

[01:36:55]Some people like the process, you know, others like quick and dirty. I'm kind of a little both.

[01:37:04]Some things I I like the process and I'll go through it every time and some things I'm just like, now you can finger press this, but we need to get these open.

[01:37:19]But We have the iron. We can go ahead and iron that nice and flat. Again, it's this helps with distribution in your binding so you don't have a big bulky spot.

[01:37:38]It just looks nicer in the end, I think.

[01:37:43]My cord got in the way. Sorry about that. Let me move this. I am all wrapped up in this cord.

[01:37:50]You know, I couldn't do this if I tried.

[01:37:52]There we go.

[01:37:56]I'm put it like this.

[01:38:00]See? Yeah.

[01:38:03]Just that. We only have two. If you had a you had a long quilt, big quilt, this would take a little longer. So, now we got to fold it in half.

[01:38:15]We got to fold it in half. And iron it down. You I usually put put some best press on here, but I'm just going to do it.

[01:38:30]This iron is these irons are like really hot, so they're going to they're really going to make it hold.

[01:38:43]>> But best press does help, you know, because you're going to be manipulating this quite a bit when we start putting it on.

[01:38:55]And this is a good way, these little these little projects are a good way to kind of develop your habits, your good habits with your binding.

[01:39:07]You know, if you're new to it, especially little projects are a lot easier, too.

[01:39:15]Any questions? I'm not even looking. I'm sorry. I'm going to use my Oh, so delightful back. Oh, well, I want to see it, Delta. I want to see it on on um I hope you're on the Facebook.

[01:39:35]>> Not fond of H. No, >> no, not fond of Handsome. Me neither.

[01:39:41]Does the quilting go on top of the designs or is it done first? Um, you know, looking at this, I I would just I I would just quilt it like this because if you could quilt this piece I I you know, this piece, this piece, this piece, they're all in little pieces at that point. Um, you know, I don't know what machine you have.

[01:40:15]Um, you could do these if you wanted background. If you didn't want it over here, you could you could quilt these pieces and but you would have to quilt it with just the fleece, right?

[01:40:33]And then and then piece it all together.

[01:40:36]You would have these blocks, just the middle blocks. Piece it all together.

[01:40:39]And then I know on the on my Solaris I can like tell it, you know, this make a square around this on the machine and then do background quilting that way.

[01:40:52]That might work.

[01:40:55]Otherwise, I mean, yeah, put if long as you're not using like a, you know, bright color or whatever. If you're using a neutral color, I don't think it would hurt it at all to go over the the the design.

[01:41:13]I would love to see it though. Love to see it if you try it. I would love to see it.

[01:41:46]I think that these blocks are, you know, they're they're not real big. They don't have a lot of room. Um I don't know. I don't know what look like.

[01:42:03]I'd be very curious to see that? I would imagine any quilting would look nice.

[01:42:09]Okay, so we've got this all.

[01:42:12]This is This is it for binding preparation. Okay, this is it. You've made your little binding strip. Let's get our Let's get our beautiful And let's bind it. Let's do it. We're all ready to go.

[01:42:27]Let's do it over the machine.

[01:42:33]Okay. So, we are going to get all these pins out of my way because I will knock them on the floor and I've done that enough today. Okay.

[01:42:46]All right. Got our binding.

[01:42:50]Okay.

[01:42:52]So, when I bind, I start like on a long side in the middle.

[01:43:03]And oh, I start I put it on the back and I bring it around to the front. So, let's go to the back.

[01:43:15]Okay. So, I'm I'm kind of in the middle there.

[01:43:18]I'm going to take my binding and I'm going to, you know, about I don't know eight 8 in or so behind the needle that won't be sewn down. Okay.

[01:43:32]That's what we're going to do. And I want my quarter inch foot. Huh? Because we want to do a quarter of an inch. So, let's put our quarter of an inch on.

[01:43:43]If you have a walking foot with a quarter inch or, you know, even without, um, that could be helpful.

[01:43:53]Um, there we go.

[01:43:58]Okay. Two things that I need. I'm going to put my foot down. I'm putting my foot down.

[01:44:04]Okay. I'm going to put my needle down.

[01:44:07]That's where I'm going to start. I've got about, you know, 6 to 8 in behind the needle loose back here. Okay.

[01:44:14]You want that for the joining.

[01:44:18]Two things I need. I need my purple thine and um a friction pin.

[01:44:30]I'm going to need those for the corners.

[01:44:33]Okay, here we go.

[01:44:40]Oh, that's a good idea. Oh, I'm excited.

[01:44:44]I'm excited to see that. The quilting.

[01:44:48]All right. I'm just lining up the wrong edge.

[01:44:55]We want the We want the raw edge raw edges together.

[01:45:02]Okay.

[01:45:04]Again, 6 to 8 in behind behind the needle.

[01:45:12]Okay.

[01:45:14]Foot down.

[01:45:16]Needle down.

[01:45:18]See how much I got. That's not I don't like that one. I want more.

[01:45:24]up. Just move it down.

[01:45:28]Raw edges together.

[01:45:31]Down. Even down. Okay. All right.

[01:45:36]Here we go.

[01:45:39]Shouldn't hit any pins, right?

[01:45:43]Just in case.

[01:45:46]All right. So, let's go quarter of an inch.

[01:45:51]Let's do a backspace.

[01:45:56]Okay, now I'm not worried about what color thread or what bobin at this point.

[01:46:12]When I come around to the front is when I'm going to care about what color thread I'm using.

[01:46:20]Okay, I'll show you how I do the corners.

[01:46:25]Oh, this needs to be up here. Yeah.

[01:46:34]Make sure I'm not going to hit a pin.

[01:46:37]I do have some pins in here.

[01:46:41]Okay.

[01:46:48]All right. So when when it when my corner gets here on on my the bed of my machine, I can feel the edge of my quilt.

[01:47:01]I'm going to take my This is a quarter inch. If you didn't know, the edge of of the um this this square thing is a quarter inch square. So, I'm going to line that up with the edge of my quilt on top of my binding, and I'm going to make a line.

[01:47:22]Okay. See my line?

[01:47:28]That's where I'm going to stop.

[01:47:32]Okay, I'm going to go up to that line. I can still see it in in the little part of my foot here. One more. There we are. Now, I'm going to take it and I'm going to turn and I'm going to go I'm going to What is it stuck on there? I'm going to sew off the corner. I'm just going to put it at that angle. Point it at the corner and sew off.

[01:48:07]Cut my thread.

[01:48:11]All right.

[01:48:15]I'm going to fold this at that angle, lining up the the edge. This is going to be, let me show you.

[01:48:25]Come out here. See how it's all one line? That's what we want. Want one line. And then we're going to bring it over and we're going to line it up with our edge here and our edge here. Okay.

[01:48:43]We're going to swing it around.

[01:48:48]And I'm just holding my fingers on it and I'm putting it under the needle.

[01:48:55]Foot down.

[01:48:58]Okay.

[01:49:00]Get it right on the edge.

[01:49:03]Get everything right on the edge. Make sure. Yep, they're all lined up. And I'm going to start sewing.

[01:49:14]Get over that hump.

[01:49:18]Make sure that I'm not hitting any pins.

[01:49:26]And off we go.

[01:49:29]Just lining up. I don't pin or clip my binding.

[01:49:38]Not until the front. I'll I'll probably clip it on the front.

[01:49:46]Put a pin on here. And Oh, it's not in the way.

[01:49:54]Okay.

[01:49:56]Coming to a corner again.

[01:49:58]my purple thing. Find the edge with my nail. Put it on there. Grab my pen.

[01:50:06]Make a line.

[01:50:13]And there we go.

[01:50:17]And then I'm going to stop right on that line.

[01:50:22]There we go. Turn it at an angle towards a corner and sew off.

[01:50:30]and use that.

[01:50:32]Fold this back.

[01:50:35]This is why we sew towards the corner because it kind of holds it there. You don't have to do that. Oops. Sorry, I bumped you.

[01:50:44]This was just how I was taught. So, or I probably learned from YouTube. I don't know. I don't know where I learned it.

[01:50:52]So, again, I make this one nice line.

[01:50:56]Flip it over my fingers. Lay it flat.

[01:51:01]Line it up with this. Line that fold up there. This should fall in line.

[01:51:07]Turn it around.

[01:51:13]Holding my fingers on it.

[01:51:20]Putting it under the needle.

[01:51:25]and sew a few stitches and then we'll get her all situated.

[01:51:32]Okay, off we go.

[01:51:42]Make sure I'm not running over any pins.

[01:51:44]That would make me sad.

[01:51:50]Here comes a pen.

[01:51:52]Oh, he's okay.

[01:51:56]All right.

[01:52:03]I feel like I'm not getting my quarter inch here. I'm going to cut.

[01:52:10]And I'm just going to Yeah, I got way off. Look at me. Look at that. Okay.

[01:52:16]The good thing about this is all you have to do a little back stitch.

[01:52:23]Okay. Or not. I don't know what this machine is with the back stitch, but it hates me.

[01:52:33]But yeah, I can just go over that. Make sure I'm not going to hit that pin because that'll all be inside the seam.

[01:52:43]Okay.

[01:52:52]I know what it is. It's this. It's not um It's falling back here. And there's not a solid piece of furniture.

[01:53:03]See, it's just Wow.

[01:53:07]I'm going to have to hold the back.

[01:53:10]I'm going to have to hold the back. Um, see what is it with this machine and back stitching. There we go.

[01:53:24]Okay, I'm going to hold the back straight because when it falls down in that hole, I just veers me off.

[01:53:39]So, I'm going to have to go slower.

[01:53:43]and hold the back up straight to get my quarter inch.

[01:53:54]What's this pen? We're good.

[01:54:09]Okay.

[01:54:11]Yeah, I feel like I'm getting my quarter inch now pen here come out.

[01:54:28]Hold on to a second.

[01:54:40]Okay, got to turn a corner again.

[01:54:43]Two more corners.

[01:54:53]How we doing?

[01:54:57]>> Thank you. I've never done any of these projects. I'm just watching and learning.

[01:55:03]>> Oh, good. Well, yeah.

[01:55:09]They're not intimidating.

[01:55:12]I mean, once you once you start doing them, okay, you're not going to want to stop. You're going to want to do them all.

[01:55:28]They're fun.

[01:55:30]Okay. I feel like I'm getting my quarter inch now.

[01:55:39]Okay, just going to do do our little turn. Oops. I am so sorry.

[01:55:46]Turn. Do I do a turn now? Turner.

[01:55:51]And I'll show you how I join.

[01:55:55]But, you know, I won't I won't uh make you go through watching me sew the front, but I want you to see how I join.

[01:56:02]Okay.

[01:56:04]Um, if you're not familiar with how to join the strips, there's there's a couple of ways to do it, and I'll kind of I'll show you both, but I'll do it the one way that I like to do it.

[01:56:36]Okay, one more corner.

[01:56:40]We're almost there.

[01:56:48]All right, let's mark our corner.

[01:56:56]And the reason I'm marking this because you want to stop about a quarter of an inch away. If you have a, you know, a foot that you know you're you're proficient in and you can follow the marks on the foot.

[01:57:09]Um, that would probably be a little easier, but this is just what I do. Just showing you all my bad habits.

[01:57:19]Take them or leave them, right? I already want to do them all. I know.

[01:57:25]You're just biting your time. Yeah. Jump in. The water's warm.

[01:57:32]Okay. So, my backing could have been put on a little better.

[01:57:38]I'm just kind of Okay. So, my backing is not lining up all the way with my I want I want to line up with my my project. Not Not the backing. If it's off, I'm not going to follow the backing. I got to turn around. I'm going to get in the way of the camera here.

[01:58:00]All right. Now, I'm only going to go I got some sticking out here.

[01:58:06]I'm not going to worry about that. I'm just going to sew on the edge of my project.

[01:58:15]We go that meets up down here.

[01:58:22]Okay, I am going to back stitch and we're going to join. Okay, let's see if I can do this without making a huge mistake.

[01:58:36]This is how I how I learned.

[01:58:40]Take this pen out.

[01:58:43]All right. So, I've turned I do it all on the bed here.

[01:58:47]I have turned my project to the side and I have my two flappy pieces.

[01:58:53]One way you can do it is cut this one a little short. Maybe like, you know, to here.

[01:59:04]open this one up and put it in here.

[01:59:11]You know, you you can cut this one at an angle so you have a little less bulk, you know, get them get them snugged up and just keep on sewing. That's one way to do it.

[01:59:26]And uh you know, on like stuff like maybe a pot holder or you know, something like that, that's the best way to do it.

[01:59:34]I'm going to join these. Okay. So, first thing I have to do is make this this long this piece this piece here the piece on my right the right the right side piece needs to be the width of your Let me see if I could put this right. the width of your binding, which mine is 2 and 1/2.

[02:00:04]It needs to cover that space. So, my binding is 2 and 1/2. I need to go from my edge of this one to 2 and 1/2.

[02:00:14]Lay this down and cut it. They need to overlap the same measurement as your binding.

[02:00:24]This measurement.

[02:00:26]Okay. So, I don't have a little ruler in here. So, I'm going to do it some scissors.

[02:00:37]I'm going to do it. Okay. So, I'm just going to cut off a piece, right? Cut it off.

[02:00:43]This should be 2 and 1/2 in.

[02:00:47]So, I'm going to take this. I'm going to lay it here, right?

[02:00:53]And I'm going to cut this.

[02:00:56]And actually, when I do a ruler, I'm making sure those are lined up. When I do a ruler, I actually cut it an eighth of an inch less than the width of my binding. So, I'm just going to kind of eyeball that. And I'm going to I'm going to cut it. Okay. See, it's a tiny bit shorter. And that's what I want because I want it to lay flat when I put it out.

[02:01:20]Okay.

[02:01:21]I want it to pull just a little bit.

[02:01:25]I'm going to take this one. I'm going to open it up and I'm going to lay it on the bed of my machine. I am going to fold up my project so that I have and I can put the foot down and that'll hold it. Okay.

[02:01:42]So that this isn't taunt. I I want it to be loose.

[02:01:48]And I'm going to take this and I'm going to open it up. And I'm going to put these right side together.

[02:01:54]Okay.

[02:01:56]It's fiddly. I'm not going to I'm not You know, it is f I don't know if you guys can really see what I'm doing here.

[02:02:04]Can you see? You probably can't. Okay.

[02:02:06]Let me move this over.

[02:02:09]Let me move this over to where you guys can see what's going on.

[02:02:15]Okay. I have not left the bed of the machine. I have cut this piece to where it's they overlap.

[02:02:23]the length of my Why is my camera so Maybe I should do this on the other on the other board. Let's do it at Let's do it at the So you guys can really see what's going on. This might be frustrating to watch if I do it at the machine. You can do it anywhere.

[02:02:44]Okay, but I think we're going to get a better view. We do it here. Let's again. Okay.

[02:02:59]So, what I did was I cut off a piece, right? Just cut this piece off here like that. Cut it. Opened it up. That's two and a half inches.

[02:03:16]Laid it on top of here.

[02:03:20]Took another piece. laid that on top.

[02:03:23]And I cut it I cut it a little short because that's what I want. I want it to be taunt eighth of an inch. It's probably a little much, but we'll see how it works out. Okay. Pens at the ready.

[02:03:38]Pens at the ready.

[02:03:40]Maybe I can zoom in.

[02:03:51]Okay, it's a little better. I know everything blends in. So, let's bring the light over, too. Okay, now they're overlapping the width. They're overlapping the width of your binding. God, my mouth is dry.

[02:04:12]So, sorry.

[02:04:14]Okay, I'm taking this one and I'm lying wrong side up.

[02:04:24]>> Actually, no. Yeah, this is okay. I don't think it matters. I'm going to take this one and I'm going to lay it on top. No, I think it does matter. I think I'm going to do this one right side up. I'm going to do this one right side up.

[02:04:44]And I'm going to put this one wrong side up. Right sides together.

[02:04:51]Okay. Perpendicular.

[02:04:55]Is that the right word?

[02:04:58]Yes. Yes. Much better.

[02:05:02]Okay.

[02:05:04]A little bit.

[02:05:06]So again, I've laid this one. Laid this one just flat. Just like that. took the other edge. You got to roll up your project to make them to make them meet because it's gonna it's it gets fiddly.

[02:05:21]So, we are going to pin.

[02:05:27]And I like to pin pin pen pin pen and pin.

[02:05:32]If I could get 10 pins in there, I'd do it. Okay.

[02:05:37]So, the f first thing I'm going to do is So, I think I'm I'm thinking I want to sew here, right? I'm thinking that's the direction I want to sew. So, I'm going to take my pins and I'm going to pin it in that direction and I'm going to see if it lays right because this is like just a little test to make sure that I don't sew it wrong because that's a bummer when that happens. I don't like bummers.

[02:06:08]Okay, so you see where my pins are?

[02:06:10]They're this way. So they're kind of simulating my stitch. So now I'm going to close that up. And look, that's going to work. That's that's what I want to do. Okay. So now I know.

[02:06:25]So now I'm just going to pin it for sewing.

[02:06:29]And I'm going to line them up like this.

[02:06:35]Can you guys see? Am I good?

[02:06:38]And I'm going to pin each corner.

[02:06:43]in each corner.

[02:06:46]Pin over here on this side.

[02:06:54]I'm usually on a hard surface. I do this at the machine, but you can do it this way. So, this is what we want. Okay. And we're going to sew here. This corner to this corner underneath.

[02:07:07]We're going to sew. I'll I'll even draw a line so you guys can see what I do with my pen.

[02:07:16]I've got lots of pens. Let's see.

[02:07:20]Let's just do this pen. What is this pen? Find fabric marker. I don't know.

[02:07:24]So, we're going to sew from this corner to that corner. This is what we're going to do. Okay. That's where we're sewing.

[02:07:33]So, let's try and get this to the machine without it. falling apart. Getting all discombobulated. Let me move you guys over.

[02:07:44]Boom. X out of that. Do that. Okay. So, this this is what I'm going to do.

[02:07:55]I'm going to put everything underneath the machine like that. Okay. I've drawn my line so now I remember.

[02:08:02]Okay.

[02:08:05]And you got get it gets fiddly.

[02:08:10]and um quarter inch foot. I'm I'm going to leave it on even though might give me problems.

[02:08:19]Again, I'm lining up with that middle line here. Can you guys see? I'm going to line that corner underneath with that middle line cuz that's what I want to follow.

[02:08:29]So, I didn't I didn't mark it very well.

[02:08:32]I just was kind of illustrating. Foot down.

[02:08:38]put my needle in the corner. Needle down.

[02:08:43]Line up my my point here.

[02:08:46]You see?

[02:08:48]Lining up my point. And I'm going to I'm going to sew point to point, corner to corner.

[02:08:57]Making sure I'm still lined up. There we go.

[02:09:04]And that should be it.

[02:09:07]Let's test it. This is always fun, right? You open it up. Tada. Look, it's going to lay flat.

[02:09:17]Nice. So then I'm still at the machine cuz I'm my my cutting my cutting table, my iron in my room, I would have to get up, go over there. So, I just do all of this at the machine. And I'm just cutting cutting my quarter of an inch or so. It's probably way more than that.

[02:09:41]And then I'm just going to finger press cuz I do want it open.

[02:09:47]You know, you could take this over to your iron. And then I'm just going to let it lie flat.

[02:10:01]And there it is.

[02:10:03]Yeah, we did it. Now we just sew. So, so okay. I'm sorry. This is going to get in the way a little bit.

[02:10:13]And where did we stop? We stopped up here. Put our foot down.

[02:10:20]And there we go.

[02:10:28]The hardest part about binding and it's if you know if you could just remember which one goes on top, which one goes on bottom.

[02:10:43]Okay, then um it's not so hard. I'm going to have a a little pucker. If you have a little pucker like that, it's not a big deal.

[02:10:59]This is why you want that eighth of an inch.

[02:11:03]But when I turn it over, you know, you can't hardly see it. So now you would just turn your Let's go back over here.

[02:11:19]Okay.

[02:11:21]We got our binding on. The hardest part of any project, right?

[02:11:26]So now I just bring it around like so.

[02:11:33]And oh, the BLE foot. Who has the B level foot?

[02:11:39]The B level foot is you got to have it if you're ever doing binding.

[02:11:46]Um, let me see if she has one back here that I can show you.

[02:11:56]Um, she sells them here. Yeah, they look Nope, that's not it.

[02:12:01]Um, she sells them here.

[02:12:07]I can't live without it when I'm doing binding because it allows me to just pedal to the metal and I and I I get the perfect Oh, here's one. I get the perfect um It's perfect. This is the wrong.

[02:12:29]So, I bring this over.

[02:12:32]Yeah, this is So, they have a left and a right. And I think this is the other side. Let me see if she has the other one. Oh, come on. Have it in here. I really want to show you guys. You guys need this foot if you do binding.

[02:12:47]Um >> I think it's called the B level.

[02:12:54]>> Um little secret in this other box. Oh, I see one. This could be it. I see one.

[02:12:59]Okay. Is this it? Yes. Okay. this way.

[02:13:05]So you see they're they're they're opposites, right? This one's fl you want this one.

[02:13:15]And I think it's you know the left that's how left and right is how they go. So let me show you. I'm just going to show you how this works because I love it. So you have this here. You have it ironed and clipped and everything.

[02:13:32]You put your But clip it. Where's my clips?

[02:13:39]I have some. Well, anyway, this little flange part is recessed.

[02:13:47]There's a little lip under here, and this will ride on the edge of this this um binding. it won't it gets in there and just stays as you're sewing.

[02:14:04]So, I don't know if you can see that, but it just rides along that edge and it it just doesn't you can't veer off. So, you set your needle. I move it over to where I want it, like right on this edge here.

[02:14:21]And um I can do petal to the metal and I won't veer off because it it just sticks. Just catches that lip and it won't come off. And you can just go fast. I love this foot.

[02:14:37]Yeah.

[02:14:39]So, will you show how it works on the machine? Sure. Let's do it. Let's do it.

[02:14:50]Let's take this foot off. Let me move you over.

[02:14:54]Yeah, we'll do a little bit.

[02:14:57]I'm going to put this foot on.

[02:15:04]Okay.

[02:15:07]I'm going to take my I'm going to take my binding.

[02:15:14]Okay. So, you take your binding, you fold it over to however we want it, and you put this foot down.

[02:15:26]And the edge of my binding is in this groove of this foot. Okay?

[02:15:35]And that's where it's going to stay.

[02:15:37]It's not going to move. So, I like to move my needle over to the very edge.

[02:15:43]Oh, wrong way. To the very edge. And of course, I lengthen my my stitch to about a 3.5.

[02:15:54]And it's caught in that groove. This this flange part is right sitting on the other side of this. So, I'm going to put my my binding where I want it. don't want to cover my heart.

[02:16:08]I don't probably don't don't want it that thick there. So, I just want a thin binding on this side. And I would iron and make sure that it, you know, is sitting right where I want it. So, now I can I can take this and it's not going to leave that groove.

[02:16:29]I'm not even I'm not I'm my hands are way out here and it's not leaving that groove.

[02:16:38]Look at that. Isn't that amazing? Now, I'm going to cut and I'm going to show you how straight it is.

[02:16:47]I don't know if Can you see that?

[02:16:50]Can you see how it's just exactly there and it doesn't vear off in any way? Can you guys see that? I can't see what you're seeing right now.

[02:17:00]Let me see.

[02:17:02]Let me get closer.

[02:17:07]I need the light over here. Huh?

[02:17:12]Can you guys see how perfectly lined that is? And it was effortless.

[02:17:17]Effortless to get that straight line.

[02:17:23]That's hard for me to do. I can't do that without this foot.

[02:17:30]I cannot do it. And And I can And you saw me just pedal to the metal. I just Of course, I had my machine at half speed, but I mean, it just doesn't veer off. It's so amazing. It's changed enough. And on the back, you would you'd see it, you know, a little bit here.

[02:17:50]But I like this look on my quilts where it's um on the front.

[02:17:57]Does that foot come with the It'll work on all Baby Lock and Brother. Mhm.

[02:18:05]Yes, absolutely.

[02:18:09]I have a Solaris. It works for me. This is an Aanir. It goes on here. I mean, it it'll go all the way down to, you know, the small machines doesn't as long as it has this shank.

[02:18:22]Um this Yeah. How it clicks in. That's all. That's all you need.

[02:18:29]So, what do you guys think? Are you going to make this?

[02:18:36]I'm so super excited.

[02:18:40]How do you go around the corner? Oh, okay. Let's do that.

[02:18:46]Here's my corner.

[02:18:48]So, the first thing I'm going to do, well, you know, first thing I would do is I might cut some of that off. Okay, let's cut some of that off.

[02:19:00]Just just just to get rid of some bulk.

[02:19:03]Don't cut your stitches, but Okay. So, I'm going to lay it down like this.

[02:19:10]I'm I'm going to fold one side and I'm going to go all the way up. Can you guys see what I'm doing here? I can't see what you're seeing.

[02:19:21]This angle on this machine is not that great. Let me see what you're seeing.

[02:19:25]So, I'm going to fold it like that. And I'm going to come and I'm I'm going to fold it all the way up. And then I'm going to fold it down.

[02:19:38]Oop, I got my thing in there. And then I'm going to meet the little these little parts here. And that's going to be my corner like that. I should do it on the other camera, huh? Let's do it on the other camera and stuff. Let's do that.

[02:19:58]Let's go here.

[02:20:03]So, take this and I would I would actually iron iron. You want it to lay nice and flat.

[02:20:17]Okay.

[02:20:19]And you see how it's you see how it's Oh, that's hot. I go all the way up like that, covering the stitches.

[02:20:31]And then I'm going to bring this corner down. And you can use something, you know, lay something here. Lay your corner down.

[02:20:41]There's your There's your corner. Okay.

[02:20:44]Need a clip.

[02:20:47]Have Oh, here's my R. I was looking for my R. I'm so glad. That's a big clip.

[02:20:54]Oh, here's a little clip.

[02:20:56]So, I'm gonna clip that like that. And then there's my corner.

[02:21:02]Okay. And then we'll go around that corner. Let me clip here just to hold it. Okay. So, that's what it's going to look like, right? So, let's see on the machine.

[02:21:17]with this foot on here.

[02:21:22]I am buzzing along with this foot because it's amazing going. I'm not even thinking about where my stitches are landing because I know this foot is keeping me in line. Okay, so let's say I'm coming up on my corner.

[02:21:40]Right here we go.

[02:21:44]coming up on my corner. Now, I'm going to take my clip out and I'm going to hold it with, you know, my stiletto. I got my purple thing. And I want to go one stitch over that meeting of the of the corner where the where the crease is. I'm going to go one stitch over.

[02:22:08]That's all I'm going to do. Just going to see I can see it in there. I can see my little where they're meeting. And I'm there. Okay, I've done one stitch over.

[02:22:17]And then I'm just going to flip it.

[02:22:20]And I'm going to be pedal to the metal again because it just holds it right in line.

[02:22:32]And there's our corner. All secure. Look at that.

[02:22:36]That's a nice corner. What do you think?

[02:22:39]Can you guys see that? Yeah.

[02:22:43]get some light on the subject.

[02:22:47]See, I just this foot is amazing to me. And you know, you can move your needle over even closer to the edge if you wanted to. As far as it'll go, you know, it's wherever you want this to meet. I just love this foot. It's a great foot.

[02:23:09]It is fantastic, isn't it? I love it and it looks so nice when you're done. Of course, you know, I would have green thread and you know that kind, you know, but this foot is just makes it so easy.
