holiday but that was it cute cute i love the quilt behind you yeah that's such a unique use of that pennant yeah when it gets a little warmer we should make that yeah you could even make just pennants that just look like popsicles if you don't want to make a whole quilt in my quilting head i thought about doing that for today's show and then i got busy okay so let's do that let's give away one so in the comments section be sure and share all right now we're going to celebrate your favorite team by making this super cute sports banner so look at how fun this is and my buffalo bills did not win but good job kansas city because we're here in omaha um so this we put nebraska because that's where we are and if you're not a sports fan don't worry i have some other banners later in the show that i'm going to show you that you're going to love to make okay so but it's all about pennants all right so let's talk about this die this die is on a 6 by 24 die board which means it will fit through all of your cutters including the go me this die has three distinct shapes that would be so difficult to cut by hand and since i'm only going to cut one shape at a time i'm going to actually use a smaller mat i know because remember it's only going to cut where there's fabric and a mask right you can always use the smaller dies just to cut certain portions of it yeah certain yeah so that's that's the great thing you want to do okay so today for my pennant i'm going to use this triangle shape christina do you know what kind of triangle that is isosceles isosceles good answer okay um and i'm going to show you the super cool trick um how to cut your triangles okay so since i'm just going to cut the triangle shape for my pennant i've measured from here to here added a quarter of an inch on either side and then i just rough cut strips of fabric of my team fabric okay and then i did the same for the backing fabric now here's the cool thing about the backing fabric it can be just like white muslin which is what i did i mean it doesn't have to be fancy all right then once my pieces were cut i'm going to fuse the pieces together all right so i'm going to show you this cool trick so i've cut my strips all right because i'm going to use my pull it over here my little triangle okay so i measured from here to here add a quarter of an inch on either side okay now you have a couple of options and i'm going to show you on this little popsicle one how to cut it and sew it and turn it inside out but you don't have to cut this one and sew it and turn it inside out i'm going to show you this super cool trick that will make sure that your layers don't fray okay so here's my football fabric here's my muslin okay and then what i did was i cut a piece of fusible put it in the center pressed it down okay then i peeled that backing off put my football fabric on top and pressed it down so now it has fusible in the center all right so now when i cut it on my die the edges aren't going to fray isn't that a super cool trick yes definitely i love that um you could do the same like if you were using felt you wouldn't have to do that you can just measure it i'm going to cut a couple out of felt as well okay now before i show you this cool trick on how to cut it join us tuesday february 2nd which is coming up next week next week on tuesday already somehow it's already february already february i don't know where that all whole january month went um for our live invitation event called gifts from the heart we're going to share some ideas for making projects from the heart for valentine's day and for spring one of my new favorite projects we're going to talk about i'm so excited so in the comment section christina wright there is a link to register why do people want to register so you can be eligible to win prizes prizes yes the lovely area can i give away prizes all the time everything from fabric to dies yeah it's the best gonna be so fun okay so um february um second 12 noon central time all good things happen at 12 noon central time okay all right so here we go so here's my clever trick to cut my triangles i'm going to move some of these dies i have more dyes on here than i've ever seen on our table okay so look what i'm going to do right here okay now i've only covered this shape and today you could use your go me but i'm going to use my go big how come christina because you can because i can't and because it's on sale it's until 150 off we do have a great question from crystal hi crystal she said i thought you said not to use the wrong size mats can you explain further oh yes okay crystal that's a great comment before i cut let me show you this this is a 6x24 die board so if you were cutting all the shapes on this die board you would need a 6x24 mat what you don't want crystal is to use your big 10 by 24 mat because as it goes through the cutter this is going to shimmy and it's going to move your fabric and it's not going to cut it straight so on a die you can always use a mat smaller to cut individual pieces but you can't use a bigger one yes and you just have to make sure you cover the whole shape so you can't use like two six by six mats or something like that correct so you'll notice hey can i have a oh here this right here so i'm going to actually use my 6 by 12 matte okay because it's going to cover the whole shapes okay whereas my little 6x6 oh i'm going to show you this because this is my thing okay mats are on sale today yes yep how much off 25 and the code is go team yes okay quilters ask me all the time when should they change their mats when should they get a new map and my answer is they should get a new map when it stops cutting cleanly okay so this is an actual real mat can you see this that i was in ohio at an event and a quilter had this mat and she said to me pam it's not cutting cleanly i said no sweetie you need to get a new mat so quilters if you have mats like this you throw them right today in the recycle bin and order you a new mat now i want you to see this because you asked a great question so look my six by six mat won't fit over the shape so it wouldn't cut here so that's why today i'm gonna use my six by twelve mat okay and remember it's only going to cut where there's fabric in the mat great question okay all right here we go so here's what i've done so now that i have fused this i don't have to worry about lengthwise grain ever again because once i fused it it's going to stabilize that fabric pretty clever huh okay otherwise you would have to have that label at your belly lengthwise great okay so what i'm going to do is i'm going to put it here i'm going to cut and while i'm cutting christina what kind of sports are people liking oh so many my favorite though is probably linda okay she says her favorite sport is running from one quilt shop to another does that count linda that totally counts and you are the winner that is hilarious that's wonderful that's cute trish said she likes hockey hockey she's fun i watched a lot of hockey in college did you yeah or the uno team was really good when i was there the few years so really i'd go every week it was great we watched okay next to college baseball i love high school women's volleyball okay yeah yeah i mean and collegiate followed yeah those girls are they're rock stars they're like powerhouses like they are they are i just like oh my goodness okay so look watch this [Music] so i cut my first football shape okay right there okay now here's the trick now in your quilting head you might think well i'm just going to fan fold this back and forth over that shape but what's going to happen is it's going to waste all of the fabric on either side so this is called the stack and flip method okay so i in how many layers i could actually have had another layer on top okay now watch i'm gonna flip it i know it's such a cool trick this is the best tip because you don't waste any fabric that way no you don't okay so now i have this part here and remember don't worry about this little tail and this little tail how come because there are no blades in my cutter okay the blades are just in the die right so now i'm going to do the same thing okay it is staticky here okay christina what other sports are people liking let's see um oh gosh there's so many uh chris likes white sox baseball oh i like white sox baseball chris we could hang ooh susie gets susie lives in tampa so she has the super bowl there in two weeks she does it's fun i see it's better than kansas city which is gonna snow okay so look see and now i've cut my next pennant and you would continue to do that okay so i would if i were doing this which is what i did at home i would have two sections of the fused pieces together you really have to count that fusible as a half a layer of fabric okay so really that's two and a half layers so i would do another two and a half layers and that's how i cut it and then um i just added bias tape to the top and ta-dah your banner is ready we've gotten that cute there's a great suggestion that says you could instead of doing muslin on the back you could just do like a happy birthday banner or a different like theme on the back so that they're all reversible that is brilliant yeah that is so smart i need to remember that that's a great idea okay so that's the stack and flip method okay so quilters ask me all the time why is accu-quote better than rotary cutting okay imagine trying to cut these little banner shapes out you'd have to use some kind of template have you ever used a template to cut anything no christina is the smartest person she and leslie only started quilting with our accu-quilt system i've never cut anything by hand never never which is beautiful and so if you were trying to use these you would make a template and none of them would be the same but look how perfect these are every single one of them okay all right so that's the stack and flip method hey don't remember don't forget filters these videos live on our facebook page and our youtube yep channel yep they're always here to rewatch yeah so if this afternoon

we're going to share ideas on projects from the heart we're going to show you some really fun uh valentine and spring projects one is my absolute favorite i can hardly wait okay um use the link in the comment section to register all right let's keep talking about pennants okay are you not a sports fan except what are people liking what kind of sports let's see barbara says or brenda excuse me it says that her favorite is martial arts okay and i have to tell you a funny story oh boy i know you know so um taylor who's now an adult when he was a little boy we took him to taekwondo okay okay and it was actually a really great way to help him focus and get out some energy and those kind of things so ray and i who are okay ray is mostly calm i'm not but ray is mostly we went to the taylor's very first taekwondo match and he had a sparring event okay and i remember christina saying from my mouth kick him in the head taylor kick him hard and then i thought that is not okay so anyway after that ray did not let me go to events anymore he just had to yeah he had to go but taylor loved it he was a junior black belt and oh wow so i do i do love to watch that okay if you're not a sports fan it's okay there are so many great ways to use our pennant dye to make banners okay this is the one that oakley and i made last weekend okay now i'm going to show it to you and i'm going to tell you um oakley was at my house right so she loves the go big for a long time she didn't know i had it and she would just cut with the go she thought that was super fun and then one day she came over and i was using the go big and she said lola what is that and i said that so go big and she said that's what i want to cut with always okay okay so look at this cute little banner so we use the pen and die it's for next week for tuesday for our little live event okay okay oakley cut like 700 more hearts than we're ever gonna use okay but it was super fun so the thing i love about this is that all we had to do was hot glue okay and i'm going to show you um this cool trick so we just used felt right christina and then i cut out pink and red felt and then i've added the bias tape to the top okay and then oakley and i used um our little queen of hearts and our hearts die to cut out the hearts i'm going to show you how to do it and then we just hot glued them perfect there is other than sewing the little part on the top which she helped me do there is none sewing so this is a great project like if you have kids or wearing kids or nieces and nephews okay i'm gonna tell you that you can always cut six layers of cotton with your die but you can also cut felt and flannel and cork and minky we should put when we're making popsicles use those little steps out of cork oh that's a great idea you were talking about minkie so i thought you were going to say cut the popsicles out of minke that would i didn't know where you stopped me if i ever think that okay you say pam you've truly lost your quilting head okay so um i i just did one layer of felt okay you could do take uh two but it just really depends on how thick the felt is okay so i just one did one layer but i did that whole stack and flip method so it went by pretty fast okay then we hot glued them on and we used these two dies we used the hearts and the queen of hearts christina do you have a favorite do you prefer one over the other um i love the queen of hearts i do too i love the shapes yeah because they're a little wonky yeah yeah i love it they look like hand drawn to me they do they do so here's the queen of hearts and here's the hearts and we used them both okay and then um we used craft foam okay i have to tell you i have had more fun cutting craft foam with our dogs i do it all the time i just make stuff all the time with them um oakley cuts out projects with them and all that kind of stuff so this is sparkly you can buy it at the craft store super cheap and then on the back um it's just solid okay so we have to save this christine we can't move this because we have to hang it after the show so for when tuesday we've got another question okay uh noreen wants to know are the pendants big enough to applique accuquilt letters on them like to say happy birthday or something like that in just a minute we're going to show you that there is a die for that maureen yes okay all right so here's what i did and again with craft foam i just did one layer at a time but i'm going to show you how super easy this is and i'm going to add to oakley's collection of hearts okay so one layer of craft foam notice quilters that i didn't cover the whole thing i just basically covered the hearts because there's going to be some pieces big chunks left over that you can reuse okay okay all right now the go heart is on a 5 by 10 die board queen of hearts on a 6x12 die board yes okay all right so i'm going to put the top on and while this cuts christina tell me what people are liking what sporting up let's see um joanne loves or joanna excuse me loves vintage sports car racing oh how fun i hope you were an ascot uh jessica wants to know if horseback riding counts as a sport yes absolutely um jan has a great idea that says you can make a banner that just says celebrate because then it works for everything oh that's a great idea and then hunters are so smart i love this comment from rhonda she says seeing your daughter knock someone out in karate is the oddest feeling it is it truly is i think i spent my whole life teaching taylor to be kind to people and then i told him kick people in your head okay all right give it some love because static is built up it is so staticky here in the dream studio today you ready look at this okay quilters i don't know how long it'd take you to cut out these shapes by hand but way longer than that and here's what i learned because oakley was with me then i just took this side and put it on the other hearts okay all right and just ran through my cutter and not only do we have hearts for days at the house glitter everywhere yeah yeah i was sewing some other things i was like where's this purple glitter from oh no that's okay here we go i used to work at a store that had a lot of very glittery items and it would always end up everywhere it's everywhere like my water bottle at work would always have glitter in it like my water bottle i love it okay so look here's the hearts and then you're just gonna hot glue them down to that felt super easy super easy okay so the hearts and the queen of hearts get you some craft foam um all right i'm gonna move that over here oh that's perfect sally just asked what that sparkly product was called yeah it's called craft foam and you can get in any craft store and they come in a bazillion colors yes ask me i know i have a bazillion colors um today only because we love you take 25 off your entire order some exclusions apply there on the website you're going to use the code go team g-o we should have put an uh summation point because goes g-o exclamation point in fact when i write notes that's how i spell it my phone auto corrects to that now yeah every time i write the word go it yeah yeah um it's good until midnight central time some exclusions apply okay so christina how much is the pennant die with the discount the pennant die is 60 and how much is our go big 150 off 150 off and we're going to ship it to you free yes so that's a great idea all right now somebody asked can you do we have letters of course there's a time for that okay so hold on here this was it's pretty close to celebrate um it just says party oh perfect because i feel like even though i you know we're going to have so many still virtual events for the next while folks okay so this one again um i just use felt okay and then i used our three inch carefree alphabet we have an uppercase and a lowercase and guess what it has a free embroidery download okay not next week but the week after we're going to show you how to download an embroidery yeah and those alphabet dies are on sale too and how much are the alphabet guys they are 150 dollars go team 25 there we go okay and we have three stitches a blanket stitch a satin stitch and a motif stitch okay and i just used my blanket stitch to do that now i'm going to show you a trick in a few minutes with a bunny no animals will be hurt we had that comment from little boy who's like we were talking about we cut off dog ears on our dice and he thought we were talking puppy ears so cute okay all right so here is our carefree alphabet three inch uppercase and lowercase it's a two die set look at how fun this is so um the last again i have so many dies here oh my goodness okay the last shape i'm going to show you is this shape which is christina's popsicle stick okay now forever i'm going to call it that i don't at halloween they're tombstones yep someone said that they saw a pizza slice in the triangles there is pizza fabric that's so funny there is pizza fabric we should totally get that okay so now i'm going to show you this cute banner that i've already made and i have an appliqued or i haven't added the letters yet but there's a plan okay okay so this one i'm gonna do and we're gonna use um the popsicle version okay and our three inch alphabet but this little die right here this is called small houses by ricoco and it's part of the sale today okay so you can make these cute little houses so i'm gonna cut out the letters welcome so it can be like a welcome home kind of thing yeah you can do it virtually like if somebody's coming back from a trip or coming home or whatever okay all right so i'm going to show you how to do this so what i've done is i have pre-fused my fabric that i'm going to use for the letter shapes okay now it's important to look at the die because the letters are facing up so you want your fabric to face up because if you do it like this your letters will be backwards and you will be cranky okay so let's see if i did this right okay so oh there so we're going to do welcome so i'm going to do w and i have two e's and the l and the c and the o and the m i think i'm good okay now for this one i'm going to use a 6 by 24 cutting mat okay or 10 by 24 because i have so many shapes to cut think quilters how long it would take you to cut these letters by hand i would not i would never make a banner that had any words on it i would just say thank you okay here we go all right christina what do people like and what sports let's see um oh gosh uh becky loves curling curling curling's fun becky i'm impressed i'm a little sad we don't get the olympics this year next year though yes i think so um there's a great question uh for luanne okay she says can you tell me more about the binding you use do you do just with the fabric and stitch it together or do you use a die yes and yes um okay so for the binding this is what she's is this what you're talking about okay so i went to the craft store and i bought bias tape extra wide okay you could totally use a die fold it in half if you're going to do it i would tell you use the three inch strip die okay cut three inches fold them in half fold them in half again and then stitch them i have done that in the past i had oakley this weekend i went to the craft store and bought bias tape okay it just works easier all right but if i was making other projects yeah absolutely i would use my strip ties stripped eyes on sale today 25 off yes which ones are you missing okay so here we go okay see this is why we rub because look how static it is here in the dream studio today it's so staticky everywhere it is okay here we go here's welcome hold on here i'm going to show you how this all works oh that one hasn't been cut don't do anything there okay okay all right so look how sticky this is but remember um once you have that fusible on there you don't have to worry about lengthwise grain anymore because now it's stable okay and now i'm going to use o and w all right christina what other things are people doing oh don't catch here oh got it i got it do love high school football yes that's always fun too high school football in a small town so we live in a small town in colorado and every friday night it didn't matter what your plans were nope there if there was a home game that is where everybody went yes yeah i love the comment from cheryl she says she watches whatever sports her grandkids are doing so cheer volleyball discreet gymnastics ballet soccer yes and there was a question i can't find it now but someone wanted to know if cutting like the paper or the craft foam would dull the dyes in the blades build the blades in the dice it's not like scissors you're gonna get thousands of cuts out of your dies hundreds of cuts out of your mats um scissors or blades that rub against each other with die cutting the mat pushes down on the blades so it cuts paper and craft foam and all sorts of cool stuff okay here we go do you hear the static in here holy smokes okay all right so this alphabet set is on sale right you're seeing a 25 off yes so it's 150 is all and it's a two die set it's really great here we go okay so now i've already made my pennant my little banner so i'm just going to do one of these and show you okay so here's the w and i like to use this bigger one and then the one i did with the party for our alphabets right because they're um they're a little bit bigger so here's the trick i learned i used to take a ruler and measure right here now i put on my green mat and then i line it all up on the same line sometimes i learn things sometimes okay ooh frankie says we need a dryer sheet to help with the static oh frankie yes okay here we go oakley has really long hair and it's like everywhere you know it just looks crazy okay so now i'm gonna just applique these down if you had an embroidery machine you could use our embroidery files if you don't it's okay okay you can just do what i'm going to do and i'm just going to iron them down okay and then i'm going to show you real quick how we're going to sew this one together because this is one that i find that is really easy to sew together okay all right so there's my w okay my e so i'm gonna put this under here i'm gonna take my little shovel iron okay you always ask christina what kind of iron is this uh it's a clover it is it's a clover shovel iron it is screaming hot do not burn your fingers look at how easy this is [Music] okay oh we've got a great question from jan okay jan why i put my e on she says so i'm thinking about getting the go big but i wonder about when it goes through the rollers unlike my go me there's no shelf to catch it if i should get one do i need to put a large book or a piece of wood to catch the die okay that is a great question quitsers asked me this all the time the answer is no you don't need anything nope the machine is designed that when the die comes through it stops yep okay and then rita wants to know what will the capital letters fit on the different banner pieces as well yes if you're using the capital one i'm going to tell you to use the wider yeah the triangle might be a little tight what is this one called the triangle do we know no this oh we've been told before but i don't it's like a bird something with a bird name somebody tell us what this shape is yes so if i'm using the capital letters yes i'm going to use this okay so now i'm going to cut some fabric and show you how easy that is to use okay oh i'm going to finish this though all right oh judith wants to know if you can use it on the bold eye so i think the letters yeah make little initial or monogrammed vocals yes bull cozies and then everybody knows who they belong to that's a great idea okay all right so i'm going to show you how fast it is to sew one of these together because this is the um popsicle version pam it's called a swallow tail see we knew

aviation type sports oh yes so that's funny ray loves to watch those planes like flying in and out of barrels and stuff over the water yeah okay look how fast i sewed that together okay um so i tell you this fun story about nascar because i have stories for days um the long beach grand prix uh years and years and years ago when mason was just itty bitty like three or four my dad who knows everybody knew somebody who was racing in long beach grand prix and so he went to long beach grand prix and he was like in the pit area and you know that whole shebang so we had a little nascar party at our house and mason and taylor invited their friends over and they my dad who's i'm a lot like he is um found some camera guy and said hey listen i gotta say hi to my grandsons and so from the pit of the long beach grand prix he's like hey taylor mason it's papa have fun yeah it was really fun okay so look i turned it in notice i didn't clip it there is no need to clip it's not that big of a turn and look at the hat perfect okay all right i'm going to show you one last trick okay and then we're good to go so think of some other ideas so we did go home you know with our home dye and our welcome and we did party and we did hearts okay it's almost easter how about happy easter there you go love it we have a spring medley die this is our spring medley die it has a bunny and a basket and a chick and an egg we've also got like the sea life medley for like summer themed pennants for like a boathouse yes and we totally need to make a popsicle one okay so i'm going to cut a bunny because i want to show you this trick of ironing onto felt okay so i prefused my bunny fabric so i don't have to worry about lengthwise green look i'm using a smaller mat because i'm just going to cut one little bunny no animals were hurt okay here we go ooh i go big i can actually cut two dies in one pass you can okay i'm going to show you this so i'm going to cut some more triangles because i want to show you how to iron onto felt there's a trick so you don't burn the felt and mess up your iron i speak from experience okay what's our comment did you have a comment uh terry says that hydroplane races are her favorite so i grew up in seattle and on lake washington they had hydroplaned really i've never heard of that oh yeah great fun oh oh all of these fun sports i'm so proud of our quilters crystal says that watching kids at 4-h competitions at fairs are her favorite yes that's fun i love a good county fair don't you yes i missed it this year it was very good we talked about how sad we were about that okay so look here so here's my felt and here's my bunny okay and i'm just going to put him like this because what i want to do is show you how to iron onto felt okay because it's tricky hold on um i usually score this with a pin where's the lovely erica yep there was a comment suggesting that yeah if you score it with a pin and then it comes right off okay so i just want to demonstrate this so i just cut that shape okay all right so if you take your shovel iron and put it down on that felt it is going to melt that felt so fast so this is you could use a pressing sheet this is fabric that we used on the back of our embroidery machine so just stabilizer and then i'm going to press here and it's going to put my little bunny down okay because if you try to use your iron quilters i promise you it will melt and you will say bad things look at that nice ta-da i didn't know you could do that yeah okay all right don't forget we'd love to see your finished projects
