Jelly Roll Quilt Log Cabin Style

hi everyone this tutorial is a tutorial where I'm going to show you and teach you how I do surgeon quilt jelly roll design it's it's a process so we'll just call this a process video of the class that I've taught out on the road in the past year so I think that you might enjoy it it's very easy to do yes I'm doing it on a serger but if you don't have a serger you can also do it on your sewing machine so let's talk about what a jelly roll is so right here I have a few different jelly rolls these jelly rolls that I have right here this one this one and this one these are about three inches wide and then I have a smaller one that I've gotten from a different store it's about two and a half inches wide but these are jelly rolls so when we open up one of these jelly rolls let me show you what it looks like here I have one that I've opened up you're gonna find that you've got lots of different prints of the fabrics typically you know they can all be a little bit different you might have two or three repeats of a fabric print in that jelly roll and that's what makes it really great for this type of quilt that we're I'm gonna share with you so here again I've got just lots and lots of different prints already cut in strips for me now I've used quite a bit out of this jelly roll for a different project but you will have lots of variety when you grab a jelly roll so this pattern that I've designed has a lot of interest it looks very scrappy because I've taken and I've incorporated different strips from the jelly rolls before I've placed them together and we'll find all of that out in the process video as I continue but here's just a nice little look at what we're going to create so this was the one that I created in this size for the class that I've taught and it's a little bit smaller but if you want a bigger quilt you can definitely try you can definitely use this design and keep going and going and going so if you want to make it bigger and bigger and bigger then definitely buy a couple of jelly rolls and that way you'll know that you can have enough of those strips to continue forward to however big you might want it now my design is a square design I start with a square in the middle but if you wanted to do it rectangular then you can elongate this pattern for a bed size this quilt is also reversible so what you're gonna see on the front you're also gonna see on the back that's just an added little extra in this design let's talk about the binding a little bit now on the binding of my project I created a wave stitch it's something that I can do on my serger but if you want to do a traditional binding you can definitely do that I'll go ahead and leave a link in the comments of a serger binding that I do I take and create a traditional binding and I attach it with my serger note that video down in the comments so you can click on that and also watch that the first thing I do is lay out my jellyroll I take it apart and I take the different pattern repeats and lay them on top of each other that way when I start pulling from my jellyroll I can just make sure that I'm alternating the prints and here I have my Center square so I have the square of fabric a layer of batting and another square of fabric and we're going to quilt that this is actually a way that you could do the center square without piecing the center square in just a moment you're gonna see me piecing the center square so you have two different options you can just do that solid square in the middle and do the quilting on it or you can do this technique that I'm going to show you now so this is my center square of batting that I've cut and again I'm auditioning the strips of fabric I'm just laying them on top of the center batting that I've cut and that Center batting is a nine and a half inch square I want to make sure I have a bit extra because having a little bit extra is important because when we search these jelly roll strips together that's going to shorten up the width of our strips so I just want to make sure have a little extra enough to cover the whole center square of batting once I get started the next thing I'm going to do is go ahead and see how long my jelly roll strips need to be to actually extend above and below the square so I'm grabbing my first strip and I'm just giving it an audition above the batting so there I'm gonna have enough for one side and I'm gonna bring it up and over and then again estimate a generous probably about an inch below that bottom that way I know this long strip is going to be enough that I'm going to piece together to cover the front of the batting square and the back of the batting square because this is going to be reversible you now you'll notice when I look here I'm kind of comparing the second strip and I realized that the fold of the strip is just a little bit longer than where I cut the first strip so just to make it easier on myself I went ahead and took all of these strips and just slice them in half on the fold of that jelly roll I like to try to save fabric when I can but that's just a wee little bit so it just made it a lot easier to go ahead and cut all those strips on the fold you'll notice that I'm just setting aside the other side of that jelly roll strip we'll use that later on in the project and if not in this project it'll be ready for us for another project I'm just kind of again I'm just positioning these strips in the order that I want to surge them together and you'll just want to place them together in an in an area in a way that just makes you happy visually to your eye I tend to not put it too dark ones together I try to mix it up a little bit so I've actually set my serger up for a chain stitch the chain stitches me using one of my cover heel needles and I have the blade lock down on my serger so I won't be cutting anything so my serger is actually going to be stitching like a sewing machine would when I use that chain stitch again this is a serger class that I was teaching so we had all serger setup in the room so I'm always trying to find out how I can really complete a whole class using whatever machine that we've designated for that class earlier you notice that I was showing you the right edge of the presser foot so I have the c2 needle in my machine and I'm just I was just showing you that I'm gonna allow the right edges of the fabric just to guide along the right edge of my cover chain foot which is the foot that I'm using on my surgery but keep in mind if you want to do this on your sewing machine you can definitely do all of this on your sewing machine also now I'm going to stitch all of my strips together so I'm starting with the first one of those jelly rolls placing the second jelly roll right sides together stitch all the way down then I'm going to go ahead and grab my third strip once again I'm going to place it right sides together I'm just going to continue to keep the right edges align to that to each other and Serge all the way down after I finish the third strip then I'll continue and grab each additional strip until I have all of those strips to sew them together it goes very very quickly and then once we have all of our strips together then we're gonna look at them we're gonna give it a press on the backside where the seams are we're going to press them all in one direction so here you'll notice I've already pressed them in one direction all of those seams so it's going to lay nice and flat I'm going to fold it in half because remember we're gonna have out of this these strips that we just searched together we're gonna have enough to cover the front of our batting in the back of our batting to make a quilt sandwich here I'm just laying that batting piece on top of the strip's once I've folded them in half just to get myself an extra little look to be sure that I have plenty of fabric so once I folded it in half I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to cut along the fold to cut them apart so now we'll have two squares we'll have the top of our quilt sandwich and the bottom of our quilt sandwich and then in a moment you're gonna see me place that batting in between those two squares so now I'm going to flip flip them over clip one of them over so I can see the backside the wrong side and then I'll place the batting in the center of the square and I'm going to position it to where I see fabric on all four outer edges so we should have enough fabric to where we can just generously have enough fabric along all four outer edges well it's going to be nice after we got our quilting in there then we're gonna square it up with our rotary cutter and a ruler and I'll tell you right now I forgot to I forgot to actually video the part where I was actually quilting this piece but I'll show you a finished picture of it already quilted in just a little bit I'm gonna coat this with my serger so in a moment you're gonna see the serger and you'll notice that I have placed my curved foot right there I have my curved foot on it's a shorter foot and this is a closed foot so what I'm doing here is I had already had my serger threaded and so when I place the curved foot on and I took a few stitches it just it actually locked the stitches around the foot so I just grabbed my little snips and gave it a clip and then just continued forward now here's my square I've already quilted if you look in between the jelly roll strips you'll notice the curving quilting pattern that I placed in between each one of my jelly roll strips I've also trimmed off four outer edges now it's time for us to start gathering more strips to create the next side on our block so I'm going to find three strips that I like together so I'm just kind of going through my jelly roll strips to decide which ones I want so here here are the next three that I decided upon and if if you have trouble figuring out which ones you want to grab just close your eyes and start grabbing them and then whatever you come up with those will be your next three so here we go we've got all three of those once again we're gonna place these strips right sides together so we have three strips right sides together I've now set up my serger for a four thread overlock I also like to piece using a four thread overlock and I'm just guiding the right edges edges of my string along the right edge of the plate on my serger so first off I started with a chain cover foot because I know I was going to do that quilting but now I switched over to that overlock stitch that for thread overlock it's gonna go really fast then really efficient and it's just another way that I love to do piecing on my serger so you have choices all the strips are pieced together now and it's time to press pressing definitely sets us up for success and you'll notice that I'm pressing my seams in one direction and then I also give it a press on top now you won't see me pressing throughout the video because I'm just gonna tell you now to press each time it's going to definitely give you a more beautiful outcome so here are the strips that we surged together we pressed them and here I'm grabbing my batting now my batting pieces I've already pre-cut but basically what you want to do is you want that batting rectangle you want the height of the batting to be a little longer than what your three strips are okay and then the width of the batting is going to be wider than your Center Square so here again I'm just trimming the three strips from the jelly roll a bit wider than the width of my batting which again I already determined that that batting strip is wider than the square and taller than the three rows of the jelly rolls keep them in mind your jelly rolls might be a little bit narrower or wider than the ones I used in my video so you can kind of make those choices as you go so here I have my two strips I've already cut them now I've cut the long strip into two strips so I'm gonna place one of those strips underneath my square right sides together and notice how the length of that strip is definitely wider than the square and I chose to start my first side on the top of the square where the center of the jelly roll strips are running up and down then I placed the piece of my upper piece of jelly roll that I just pieced right sides down on the top and then I grabbed my batting piece and placed it on top of the last jelly roll section and we're gonna do this over and over again so by the time we get through you're gonna really understand this process and I've got them all clipped in place now one thing that's gonna be really important is that you have all of those layers all of those layers together so when you start surging you want to make sure you're catching all of the layers and I'm just gonna once again every time I seen whether it be my jelly roll strips or my batting along with my jelly roll strips I'm gonna line that right edge up with the edge of the throat plate so here I'm just taking the front the batting in the back and I just brought it up in here look I'm gonna show you on the back side you see the fabric in the back so I'm gonna give it a tug that's just gonna help it start positioning itself and then the batting and in the top edge again I'm gonna press every time I do this step it's definitely gonna set me up for success it's going to look much more accurate and it's going to help you also make sure that when you add your next pieces that you're gonna catch all of those layers so we can keep those layers to the same height to the same dimension just going to give you great accuracy when we do our pressing so here we have our center square with our first side already seemed on it once again that top that batting and then the back section is laying flat there you go up against my my little mat there okay and I'm just kind of showing you the front in the back now I'm gonna grab my ruler and my rotary cutter now both after we had quilted our center square I cut all four edges nice and straight so now when we start trimming our first side up we're gonna use one side of the center square to align to have a straight line to align where we want to trim the outer edges of side one you'll notice how I just aligned the ruler along the right edge of the center square okay so our sides are straight but you'll notice I have batting sticking out right so now we're gonna do a trim and you'll see me kind of finagle with it and kind of just make it go exactly where it needs to go I'll check the backside to make sure I have the bottom layer not stretched but extended to the length to where when I trim I'm gonna be trimming all of that excess batting see how now in the front in the back you're just going to see your jelly roll strips alright now here's just a picture I find that if I would have numbered from the very beginning it would have made it really easier so here I'm just showing you I have some post-it notes and so in the center I've noticed the center those those strips are running up and down it's what I call number one and then below it was the one that we just added okay so we have number two and then to the left we're going to add number three and then to the top across there I'm gonna call that number four and then on the right now I'm going to number five and then number six we're basically actually starting with the centerpiece and then we're adding in a clockwise manner so we're gonna go on top of the center Square and then we'll go to the right each time so kind of like a log cabin maybe sorta their concept but we're gonna start with a center Square and then again we're gonna just continue to add all the way around here I'm going to grab my next strip of adding notice that this strip of adding is longer than the length of the center and that side that we just placed on there and allowing that to be wider just gives you wiggle room to where if you mess up a little bit you won't be right at the edge it'll be really easy to make it straight because you'll just trim it straight as you go along once again I'm just grabbing me three strips taking them to my serger I'm gonna place them right sides together and Serge down each long edge with those edges right along the plate of my serger so if you're doing this on your sewing machine you just consistently decide on your seam allowance I would say you definitely might want a healthy quarter of an inch that way it's just gonna be really easy for you to grab the strips which are gonna be really easy because it's just fabric fabric and fabric but when you start incorporating your batting along with that then you're getting a little thicker so I think it's just a little easier to have a nice healthy quarter of an inch so maybe you want to go three-eighths of an inch that way you're not taking too much out of your jelly rolls each time so now we have these all searched together once again we'll take it over to our our surface our cutting surface we'll do a little comparison I want to make sure I have enough that runs the width of that batting piece and then I'm gonna cut it in half and that's gonna give me to a top and a bottom that are equal sizes so here we go so now you have the center so the way I numbered it and numbered the center number one so I'm going to refer to it like that so number one in the number two and so now we're adding number three and again here my fabric is really generously wider than I need it to be so if you want to trim yours a little narrower than I have here I'm trimming it away you know you can do that as you go so now we have that bottom piece right sides to right size and then I'm placing the top piece right sides to right sides and I just flipped it over and trimmed and now we're gonna lay our batting on the top and clip it all in place we'll take it back to our serger and now it's time to Serge all three of those layers our back our batting and our top and our quilt sandwich that we've already started is sandwiched in between there so yeah quite a few layers going on now there we go so now we'll flip it up flip the back up and you'll notice again every time you're gonna have the batting right in the center so the center is side one then side to side three we just finished and I pressed it nice and neat and you'll notice how kind of on my ends they look little bit maybe a little bit wonky but I'm gonna trim it all up nice and neat so once again I'm gonna grab my rotary cutter in my ruler I'm gonna align a section on the previous area that I know is straight and then use that as a guideline to trim straight the extension that we just added the side that we just added this is a great quilt a great one to use if you're doing maybe some charity quilts or if you don't have a jelly roll and you want to use up tons of scrap in scraps and you just want to cut them into strips you can do that also or you can coordinate cord fabrics that you want to match and use this technique awesome right so now we're trimmed all nice and neat so we've got number one is Center number two and number three and now we're adding number four so there's my padding strip you'll notice that it's wider than the area that we want to place it in and now I'm grabbing me three more jelly roll strips the funnest thing was getting to the point to where deciding on which strips I wanted to grab so yeah it would really be easy for you to just throw them all in a bag possibly and just grab them without looking and then I'm going to take that long strip and just fold it over determine how to see if I have enough for both sides and see I still have enough for both sides and if you want to UM save fabric which which is what I'm doing here you'll notice how on the right side right there I'm just gonna trim off that extra now and I'm gonna use that first piece as my guideline for the other two jelly roll strips for this side I'm just gonna place them all together and then give those other two pieces of trim I've made this quilt more than once and what I tend to do all those pieces that I'm not using I just I just keep those and saved those and I use those to do some bindings later on okay here we go once again we're just gonna Serge those seems fast fast really fast gonna have speeded it up a little bit right don't we all wish we could sew that fast to be accurate okay here we go those are all searched together folding them in half keep in mind I already press them you just didn't get to see me pressing this time okay this is the side that we're gonna place it on it's definitely wider than where I need it to go and so now I'm going to cut down the fold the folded center of my long strips in a place one I'm kind of you'll notice me kind of looking and deciding which fabric I want to be up against that previous side that we're serging it on - so you'll kind of see me look at that every once in a while and so when I decide then I just go ahead and clip a little bit to get the back side held in place later on in the video you'll notice that I'll say hmm I'm just gonna clip one towards the end one towards the beginning and then as I start layering that layering them and clipping them I don't have to take all the clips on and off so you'll see that as we go along so here we go up frame already starting to realize it right one clip on the end and one clip on the beginning right sides down for that strip and then place our batting on top now we'll go ahead and secure all of our layers so you have your back you have your existing quilt sandwich in the middle and then you're gonna have your top right sites down and then your batting on top and our quilt is gonna start growing and growing quite quickly there we go again it's real important you keep all of those edges even let's go ahead and Serge that seam and just being consistent every time with your seam allowance that's why I just allowed my fabrics to guide along the right edge of the plate okay now not sure this was side three so just disregard that so here the center I'm calling one and then two three four so one two three four that was side forward so just kind of disregard that got it pressed I'm securing it from the top and from the bottom and now we're going to trim those sides so we'll have it straight along that previous edge and then trim I'm just going to rotate it around and do the same thing on the opposite side now we're going to trim across to where the batting extends and once we get through trimming that from the front to the back we'll just give it a check and make sure that our edges our fabric and there's still no matting extended if there's any more batting still extended then go ahead and trim it a little bit more so here's our next piece of batting strip and notice that now that's even longer then the next side that we're gonna attach it to so I'm just checking that out grabbing some more strips in just a second so again I'm just gonna kind of see me do I have enough to go one more time and I actually do so you're gonna see me grab three more strips just three one two three because that full strip is still long enough those three strips in one full length are still long enough to surge together and then fold in half and cut in place on the next side so they'll still be long enough with all of those for our next side let's put those seams together it's a real repetitive process so once you do a project like this it's gonna be really easy for you to do another one I tend to be a mass producer I've made quite a few of these now so again I'm just picking it up look how pretty we have it nice and pressed still pressing along the way nice and pretty from the front to the back yes pressing sets us up for success alrighty so now I'm just going to position our pieces once again I know it's going to be long enough to have a top and a bottom so I'm gonna cut it apart on the fold and then I'll kind of count as I come around but you'll see now I haven't added anything to that right edge but again if you actually put your numbers and just count the Center is number one and then as you continue do your you're your post-it notes with those numbers it'll actually help you from getting confused I got a little confused when I started doing this the first time so now I have that bottom piece right sides to right signs on the back of my quilt there we go now we'll get our top piece right sides to right sides and then we'll get our layer of batting and again it's just really important that you have all of your layers edge-to-edge before you start surging before you surge or stitch however you're putting yours together is you don't want any of those pieces to slip out of the scene okay now we've got that done give me a press nice and neat and like I said I'm very generous on my outer edges when I teach a class I tend to be over generous because every once in a while you know sometimes we're in a in a big group we can just we all think a little differently so I like to I like to incorporate extra wiggle room in a class so I did give everybody a little extra to where you trim off now we need to trim that batting on that outer edge so it all matches up to the edges of the Jelly Roll now once again once we do this it is important for you to flip it over and look at the opposite side if you have some batting still extend it out see like I did right there you'll want to go in there and trim looking at that side because you do you want to make sure you are straight and you have fabric to the edge on each side and by doing that you ensure the fact that when you go back to your serger or your sewing machine that you're going to be catching all those layers you won't have a little bit of batting extended because you didn't have enough fabric to go all the way to the edge and that is another reason why pressing set you up for success or this process here I have more more strips again we're now becoming a pro at this process now it kind of bothered my creative eye you'll notice here a little bit I grabbed one of those ginghams and it's a bit it's a little bit wonky the way it was cut on the jelly roll so you're gonna see that in that plaid that little not plaid but that little check pattern that it's gonna look a little crooked so if your person at something like that bothers them you wouldn't want to pull from that jelly roll strip just leave that one maybe for a binding or something to that effect okay so now we're just coming back around on our next side placing our bottom right sides up giving it a clip making sure we're edge to edge placing our top right sides down and then our batting on top of the top your batting is always gonna lay on the wrong side of your top piece okay now we'll take it back to the serger we're going to search all of those layers so wanna make sure you caught all of those layers I tend to kind of give it a check and make sure I've caught them all and now once again I'm just giving it a press and if you'll notice when my words pop up side five it's not really considering the center it started with the edge as number and what the first side that I added to the center as number one but anyways don't let the don't let the numbers there trip you up because you're gonna just start kind of going around and around and continue adding getting those edges trimmed and getting the top edge trimmed flush with the edge of your jelly roll and you'll notice how the bottom edge of my ruler is lining up on that previous side and that's just gonna help keep it straight as we're squaring it up as we're making it a nice straight cut one thing I you know I love to teach and I'm not a fussy teacher but one thing I fuss about is rotary cutter rotary cutting um rules right so anytime I'm in class I always make sure I say okay everyone don't lay a rotary cutter down if that blade is open I think it's just a really good practice to not do because you can have a little accident so again I was just kind of showing you here where the plot where the the check does look a little crooked but that's just the way the jelly roll was cut with that pattern if that bothers you then just don't use that one again I'm grabbing my next strip it's long it's definitely wider or longer however you want to say that then the next side so you're gonna select we're gonna select six full strips here and we'll trim them to the length of the batting but and remember my batting is cut quite a bit wider than the width that we need it to be so that's gonna definitely give me that extra amount to make sure that I won't be short whenever I'm placing them together for my next side so here's my six strips and the reason why we need to do six strips is because now it's going to take three strips for the top side and three strips for the bottom side so no longer can we get a top and a bottom out of one strip and then I realized at this point that for the next side that I was going to do it was also going to take that same length to go along that next side so I went ahead and pulled out those I went ahead and pulled out six more jelly roll strips so I went ahead and decided which fabrics I wanted to use and you'll see me go ahead and trim all of those pieces to the same length but as you continue forward in your process and making the project then you can determine the link that you're going to need for each side before you get ready to do that side I just found that it was much easier that I cut as I went little less thinking because you can visually compare the length of each side that you're going to place it on and then determine those lengths of your jelly rolls so you don't necessarily say I need ten of them at this length or any you know six or in those increments of three so just deciding your lengths as you go allows you to just be well less the less little less oriented to determining exact measurements alright so now we have all of those strips ready to be searched together and this time I went ahead and just did some strip piecing I went ahead and Serge all the sets that I needed for the sixth side and the seventh side so the next two sides that I'm going to attach these to I'm going to go ahead and just power sew those together here we go we have them all done so that's one that's two so that's going to fit one side and then here's the other two and now we're just going to go back through our process of layering our strips our tops and our bottoms and our batting's and our quilt sandwich together so bottom right sides up we'll slip a few clips in there and again I've got fabric extending off to the left and the right side so it doesn't so it's not exact easier for my trimming and now we've got our top edge I'm going to place it right sides down and then my layer of padding on the top ok so now it's time to go ahead and get it searched so we searched it and now I went ahead and put it on without you seeing but now we're really getting into the process so understanding kind of how this is going so there's 1 2 3 4 5 6 already attached and then the next edge that I'm going to add on is the side that I've labeled for number 7 so if you want to count your Center as number 1 you can if you don't you don't have to just number it how it makes you feel more comfortable so now I'm gonna go to my next side and that was the one that I already had prepared those strips together so here we have it layered once again and now we're surging it all together and at this point we could do this process in our sleep right so number seven is on over there it's already attached and I'm doing some trimming and we're going to continue that process until all of those sides are tat attached so my next side put it all together and attach it at this point you've seen me do it over and over again so I figured I'd go ahead and kind of get a little faster on you so I wouldn't bore you here we go once again we're trimming the sides and the top just like we did before I think we have one more side to add so in my pattern I had all together I had like nine cut if I'm counting that Center square so now I'm adding number nine and that's where my project where my my design for my pattern ends we're gonna have nine sections per se and again I'm just determining how long it needs to be to go across and then have a little extra and so I'll need to cut all of those strips all six strips and sit stitch all this together Serge all those together and then we're gonna make our sandwich once again so I said earlier too it's really important record it whenever you're layering those edges together for your whole fabric sandwich concept that you do once you once you get it surged on with your batting and everything and your fabric sandwiched in the middle when you pull those pieces up you want to look at your edges and make sure you have cap you've caught all of your seams because if you have it you will see batting but that just definitely means you have a hole so at that point if you have a hole you want to make sure you take care of securing that hole before you go on to the next side because then it's not really going to be that easy you'll have to do quite a bit of ripping and so with this hole design I like the fact that as we surged or as we stitch whichever one you've decided to do work we're actually quilting this because every three strips we have a seen from the top to the bottom so if you are a person who doesn't always want to do a whole lot of quilting this is a great way to put something together because our seams when we're attaching them all together those are serving as our quilting our quilting rows are just the rows that are going to hold it all together so when you wash it it's not going to separate in the center so it's it's giving you the security of Mauck type quilting but actually it just seems that you're taking that's holding it all together in your distance from seam to seam isn't that far apart so it's really gonna keep the whole quilt secure as you wash it in with the wearing the tear on it here we go our last side now once again if you want to make this as a bed style you know just kind of start with a rectangle in the middle and and continue to go around and make your changes in your links and your widths of your strips and then just continue to do it and do it until you have it to the size that you might want it to be but starting with the rectangle in the middle is gonna allow it to fit more of whatever bed cover you might want to choose now maybe you get to the point to where you don't want to keep adding around all four sides because you need it to be longer from the top to the bottom well then just start adding from the top and to the bottom and don't continue to add on the sides so this design really has a lot of versatility so I know y'all are all creative people out there and the first thing you start seeing when you see a project is how can you adjust it to do something that you want to do so hopefully in my whole process you've gotten some inspiration and definitely some education and some design understanding and it sparks some ideas in you okay so I'm all finished I trimmed off for my outer edges nice and neat and I set up my serger for that wave stitch and now I'm just stitching that wave stitch on all four edges so when I go down the first edge I think I'm gonna come all the way off yeah I'm gonna go ahead and come all the way off and I'm gonna clip it and then I'm just gonna come down the next side okay you can definitely do it like that or you can turn a corner well go down this side and we get to the corner I'll show you how to turn a corner with your serger when we get to the end I'm gonna stop about one stitch before I'm off I'm gonna raise my presser foot tweak the thread towards me a little bit that allows me to bring the fabric straight back turn it around and then I'm gonna start about one stitch on to the fabric and my blade is just skimming the right edge of the fabric and when I turn a corner like that I always like to start with all of my edges of my quilt or whatever I'm going around trimmed very straight and flush to the edge okay so now that we're finished we have some tails we want to hide so I'm going to show you how to do that so the tail is about two or three prob about three inches that gives you enough of room to wiggle that thread through and the needle that I'm using is a Havel's double I'd needle and notice that I've just turned to the end of the tail over to where it's more of a loop and not just those straight edges of the serger tails and that helps me get it through the eye of the needle easier and I'm just gonna gently pull it through the back of the stitch and then once I get it out the bottom there I'm gonna go ahead and slip my finger into the loop and then give it a gentle tug one of those tails when the decider is going to be loose and allows me to pull it through and clip off my extra tail so there we have our corners finished you'll just do that River you have tails thank you so much for staying to the end of the tutorial I hope this tutorial was helpful for you please click that like button and
