You skipped a crucial step: attaching the borders. You only mentioned that you want the borders to overlap equally at the ends. What is the trick to ensuring the ends overlap equally? I imagine that you determine half-way point of the border in terms of total length and the total width of the top, side, or bottom of the quilt (depending on which one you're working on), then match the half-way points to ensure the border is centered on the quilt. Where do you begin sewing the borders on? Do you start at the edge of the quilt or from the "stop" point we created? I understand that the video is focused on the mitering, but if you don't position the border correctly or know how to attach it, you won't get the corners.

I am a professional seamstress. I sew everything. I use a Singer heavy duty mechanical, and seemingly cannot wear it out beyond repair. The bobbin case needs replaced every 6 months because I sew so much denim, but I do memory quilts, wedding dresses, prom dresses, patch jeans, etc. On this machine. It only cost $ 200. I have the same machine at work. They both average about 5 hrs a day. 500 is SCARY to people just starting a hobby.

It would be nice to have some testing on carpet. I always have carpet in my sewing room for the warmth.

Another great use for my little black light flashlight …. I bought it to find hornworms on my tomato plants at night!!

This was a perfect tutorial, thank you!!

Thank you for all the work you do in preparing great learning videos. I just ordered the titanium rotary cutter blades.

Incredible!

do a cut matt work it ??? is like plastic too

I love this! It is so much better for me because as a beginning quilter my blocks, more often than not, are crooked or off and I don't have enough wiggle room to square them up properly. Does this formula work for all edges? Edit: Oh my! I created a block this evening and it looked so good! Better than any block I ever made- professional, even! Coming across your video feels like a game changer for me! Thank you!

Never knew about black light trick. It's great to know

Hi Mary thanks for the info.

I always just figure if I can't tell the difference, and I'm looking for it, then nobody else probably can either, lol. Love the idea for using a black light. I already have one from when I was cleaning my treadle machine.

Great tutorial. I will be ordering a black light. I was also wondering about your watch band. I love it. Did it come with your watch?

I got chisel-tipped ones from our local art store (because that's what they had). The tip is 1/2" wide and is perfect for covering the seam. I was using my spray mister before but felt like I was wasting product and not getting exactly where I wanted it. Now with the pen, it is perfect. Thanks so much for this tip! The ones I bought also open by twisting the opposite direction so thanks too for pointing that out in a comment!

Great tiny video 😂❤❤❤❤❤

88.99 cost of light

Scant isn’t scientifically measurable.

Thank You! Excellent & helpful!! White background fabric is difficult. Also, the refillable paint marker tip for flat seams is 🔥 ❤!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I also intentionally use the wrong side of the fabric. Sometimes, the right side is too bright for the design that I want.

You make things so easy. ❤

Will you be doing a separate video on this subject for solids & batiks? It can be tough to figure out when I'm working with scraps. Much easier when it's a larger piece. Great tip about the pin holes - that was new to me. Thanks! 🧵

If you pull the fabric on the bias it always folds to the right side.

Harbor Freight is where I got my flash lights like that.

Great suggestions. Wouldn’t even think about the blue jeans. I have a ton of those blue jean scraps from a recent blanket l. I will have to make sure to keep a few in sewing area now for future projects

Thank you for doing this! 💖

Great suggestions

I have intentionally used the wrong side of fabric on some quilt tops because I liked the effect better. Also, for some of the fabrics you've shown, if you have to look that hard to determine right vs wrong side, the average person will probably never notice. Interesting video, though. I always learn something.

❤

❤now how to use directional fabrics. I get mine upside down.

There is a time when I intentionally use the wrong side of fabric. When I make quilt labels, I like to use a scrap of fabric from the quilt just completed. But, many times, the fabric is too busy to be used as a label. I found that using the WRONG side of the fabric for the label works really well. The "faded" image from the right side comes through like a water mark on fancy stationary. The quilt label stays in character with the quilt, and the information is easier to read.

Thank you Mary, this was really helpful ❤❤

I've never heard of the black light method, but what a great help! I'm going to order one today.

Starts at 4:18! Or at 9:00.

Thank you. That was very helpful.
