Luther the most unusual wedding ring you've ever seen Wow so now you get to see it all over again so where all the names are all upside down good oh this is a this is a signature quilt I'm not sure if each person received like one big block but they wrote their name in the middle and it looks like each person did their own blanket stitch around the outside edge and I love this is chub and Laverne more did this one chub and Laverne SEC good and this one let me see where's mrs. Curtis mrs. Curtis is around someplace she's out she's over here Oh mother mother Curtis mother here's Hazel here she did that Verna Yates did that but I think it's really cool Mildred Mildred the names are so unusual and I think this is Neddie Neddie lady Nettie lady Azuga that's very unique very very unique but I did get it in Paducah Kentucky and I just thought it was so much fun I had it was actually given as a gift from the teachers that I was teaching gave it to me so I got to show you okay don't show it yet because we're gonna have Joanne come out with her antique quilt cool all right so you get to show yours and then we're gonna cake you can show the quilt and I'm gonna have you put this on the picture [Music] is that beautiful that is gorgeous very beautiful so her great-grandmother I'm going to repeat it just in case the audience didn't hear her great-grandmother made it in 1919 for her wedding and Joanne does not have their wedding Peck picture but look at this okay Erick's if you can switch and go right on here are they on so this is their 50th wedding anniversary 50th wedding anniversary isn't that sweet see some marriages do last 50th and I love what Joanne told me a camp she said that her mother and father were married for 60 years and he said it was the best 60 years of his life thank you for sharing that thank you oh and let's get we'll give you the picture back too and so now that new wedding ring the Nouveau wedding ring Wow I did this one I really like it I just thought it was a lot of fun I thought okay I don't want that big white space in there so I pieced my background in here and then I put just arcs it's kind of like monochromatic a lot of black but a lot of texture in the black and black and white in the background the turquoise just go whoop you know spark it up when you when I did this one there are four 12-inch blocks here it's one two three four and then around the outside I just called these the side pieces and they are five inches by 12 inches and four corners at five inches each and they all have the little corners on them fun want to see the back alright and that's on the back of your quilt just in case you want to remember I'm in the back of your book I see everybody taking pictures but these were done by a professional get it okay so now we have sue Bouchard she's on the cover oh and she's it's something about salmon the salmon color and the salmon swimming looks just like him doesn't it okay she said they're swimming around her quilt so they're also 12 blocks this is a lap robe it's three blocks across four blocks down sue did use seven different colors she told me and if you look you can see a big ring they're all big rings that actually go around there we just did something different so each time you see the fabric to make a big ring and what we've done is actually made like four rings for the circle and then an extra ring to like put in the outside so I'm going to show you how to make five five rings on a piece of interfacing because that's one ring there and then that's repeated over there and actually let me see here's another one so she did she did two rings of some of them and there's the extra piece over there very pretty and the green is like whoa look at the back this is traditional sue Bouchard use it all up and actually it looks like a Christmas fabric huh all right so turn the page go to page two and this is Teresa's quilt she did this one when Teresa did this one she did big rings and medium and then beside it she did another big ring in darker black on both sides and then see she's got the ring here and then that same fabric down here so you see a lot of different rings going on if you start following the ring maybe you'll see it head off another direction as well and so remember you have to have four arcs per block but you also need to have additional ones for the outside for the outside pieces and I love shield the back whew not pretty and actually the squares and binding match so I want you to look at Teresa's she dressed like she was going to a wedding okay so now the one right beside it on page three did you get to see this one this is all new nube is that modern-looking you know what you can do old-fashioned it doesn't matter but if you want to have a new kick in life huh you love it it's just really fun this is Cape assets fabric and you can see how she evenly dispersed like say this big yellow ring here then she made another big yellow here down there over there so it's just nicely dispersed and it really helps if you have a design wall Theresa laid hers out on the big table in this in the sewing room she picked the green to pull out all of the greens in the arcs and this is a really pretty sky color huh but look at the feathers beautiful they like kind of swirl around here it actually looks more like leaves like is it font fauna flora and fauna flora and flora and the animals and look in that Oh flora and fauna okay but look at this big sleepy flowers on the back little flowers on the back that pretty so you can see all of the quilting up this is twin size there's it's it's four by six 24 blocks is that right four by six twin size oh and now get ready go okay wait wait till they find it go to page 10 now you get to see and rockler our guest this is her quilt and it's Kathy Cantwell who quilted it for you Kathy Cantwell ready have fun so and just two different fabrics for her rings just two fabrics so you can take the whole total number of arts that you need and divide it in half right so you can see the four arcs for the green and then move it over the four arcs for the red and then she just repeated green and red and then this row she started with her red and green and this is peace it's like a gold print it's really beautiful it's two different gold prints as far as I can tell to lighter and then to a little deeper that's really cute you did a little flower there and then the gold corners just set it all off what do you think so that's a laugh robe that's a lap robe and 212 blocks again is it 20 oh okay so you're allowed to do what you want it's okay well and didn't have a book to look at so she made what she thought was good and see I loved I don't know if you saw what I Ryan wrote she made 98 arcs for a larger lap so she could cuddle up next to her husband Paul isn't that romantic how long have you two been married 53 years that's pretty cool okay and then actually Brenda's Christmas quilt is right beside Ann's quilt on the same page and that is more like what we did in egg money with the arcs with the arcs pieced arcs pieced arcs and then we also have the same one back here in the table runner here that cute I know I love that but this is not in this pattern the P sharks are not in this pattern you have to get egg money see nothing nothing wrong with buying more books huh how do you like our little corner furniture well and we're supposed to display them on there okay so now go keep on going to page 13 this is Paddy's it looks like paddy it looks like paddy she always has to do something different so this is 12 blocks it's three by four she bought twelve fat quarters and she made a different color ring for each block and their beautiful hand dydz and what she did with the corners was carry out the circle color through the corners if you look you've got tricky on she's got purple going around here and the orange and it's just really beautiful it looks like sherbert rainbow sherbert that's what we should call it but she called it rings of color and then you can see the beautiful quilting in the back inside the Rings flower motif and out in the outside edges the quilter just did straight lines this was Judy Jackson's huh I think Judy Jackson did oh she picked out kiddies she picked out a little print that's a little kitty on it can you see it a little kitty for our sister Judy yeah that is very cute okay so turn around Cho on the front but isn't that different yeah very new vague right new vague oh good okay so she's gonna hang these up so you can sit and admire them the whole class Nouveau I said it wrong move up very Nouveau I picked out the word and I said oh nobody will ever be able to say that I can't even say it myself okay no but we're gonna show we're gonna show them okay so I just have to show you my wedding pictures I know you want to see them 67 so I am just so silly I always have my hair in curlers before I go anywhere the wedding was no different this is my wedding dress all covered up and why do they call those bags cosmetic suitcases or something remember those samsonite32 night this was the front door of my house in Pennsylvania and here we are the blushing bride and Bill burns yes and our glasses see see Teresa had to make me my big bow and this is really funny Oh Ryan I was looking through these pictures this morning and I'm gone I can't find grant no Ryan at the wedding that's funny honestly okay so then you have to have the parents stand with you we went to a little Church in Julia or Julian in Attenborough State College where we both went to college where we graduated it was just a little Church only both of our families were there but we did the whole thing see I had a bouquet I drew it Judy caught it and that was really fun look how beautiful a day it was September 1st and so pretty off to the reception for the wedding cake it's so cute look see the little little champagne look I just can't believe this it looks like it started out pretty good and of course you have to show the wedding rings I have my diamond I have told my sons that my engagement ring was supposed to go to the first is supposed to go to the first granddaughter I still have it though I need to give it away sometime so what do you think that was pretty special huh yeah exactly and so now I have to show you I have to get a big piece of paper out so I can trace the bride - the groom oh my gosh I hope your dad doesn't watch these shows oh cool all right so we go to page four and five and you will see your yardage charts so I did show you what the solid background squares look like no piecing or you could do the pieced background squares and you can do the arcs and basically what I did was have you get 3/8 of a yard for every set of arcs that you want to make 3/8 of a yard because it just works out perfect for getting 5 arcs on each piece of fabric I'm going to show you you got the corners ooh nonwoven fusible interfacing or dr. though you can use the pre-printed that's what my veil was ooh so you can decide which one you want we have lots of it here I think we're really good on all of our supplies so you've got yardage for table runner lap twin or Queen sounds like fun okay so turn the page and we're just going to go right into tracing our arcs there's a couple of different ways you can get your arcs on this one right here I use the arc in the middle of the book right in the very middle I made a photocopy of the arc and the corner template I made a photocopy and then I just glued it on to template plastic this is template plastic and then cut on the lines it seemed to be more even lines than my tracing it on template plastic that's probably true Oh or you could go ahead and get our all new acrylic templates wow this is really fun and with this the acrylic arc you also get the little corner and you can also do the wedge Dianna's just dying to do this but remember this is an egg money you're not going to get it in this pattern okay so which one should I use oh good okay this is my light to medium weight nonwoven fusible interfacing this is the fusible side this is the smooth side that you mark on and I like to put a line right down through the middle and let's go back to see it Joe it shows you in the picture whoops it doesn't show you okay oops somewhere that went but I find that if you put a line down through the middle and your arc has a line as well if you match that line up you can keep it going straight down otherwise you start getting a little tweaked and such it's much better to to keep the line draw a line keep the line leave about a half inch base in between use a permanent marking pen see how easy this is so it does not take you long at all just a trace five remember four for a block and then one extra for one of the side pieces so just trace them and then pair up the fusible side of the fabric against the fusible side of the interfacing against the right side of the fabric just put it on there okay now I really want to show you it's you I would pin and believe it or not it is important how you pin I'm going to start sewing here and sew down along so if you put the pins in the same direction that you're going to sew oh how you look how you won't run into the pin and I just stuck my pin in my finger in the pincushion and how do I know you should do it this way I always make mistakes I make the mistakes and then I tell you guys what you should do but just go ahead and pin just on the opposite ends I'm going to sew on the curved lines only on the curved lines not on the straight ends okay so I'm curious have any of you ever already done this technique yes you did egg money one to Diane and of course and did I told on you Oh Ryan I told how you just call up in and tell her to send it next day and she doesn't even have a book to follow okay now we planned this earlier so now you're gonna come around behind me with your camera yep right now because we're gonna set up the machine i I love my baby lock and so I just want to tell you what I'm doing that's it okay so he's coming he's coming so the first thing I have is an open-toe metal foot you really need to have metal because plastic will not slide on your interfacing okay the next thing I like to do is lighten loops okay so the next thing I like to do is lighten the pressure on my presser foot because we're going to be zipping around these curves so you want the pressure to be light so on my baby lock I just go to my manual and I'm gonna open I'm gonna open to page two okay and it says presser foot pressure right now it's three that's heavy so I'm gonna take it and go down to one that means it's gonna be lighter it's just gonna whip around there okay so some of you might have a dial here on your machine but try to lighten the pressure on your presser foot okay so close the book okay down here my length is 2.0 I like to touch one negative to one point eight it's a very little stitch but your interfacing will tear so that's why I'm doing that okay now these these are buttons that I'm love for this this is the presser foot which will raise and lower it just by pressing that button this is the lock stitch I want to lock at the beginning and the end of these curves just so when you're turning they don't fall apart so I'm going to touch my lock stitch and this is the scissors okay so I'm just gonna touch the scissors I like my setup so I'm going to my padlock at the top and I'm just gonna lock it all so now if I bump it it won't change I got it I didn't okay so now I do so all in the same direction so red thread of course do you back nope hurry hurry so ready okay so press your foot down so when I just push I'm going whoops presser foot down needle in the fabric now because I touched those three buttons when I start it's going to lock stitch and then go forward okay so I'm just holding it's going to go lock okay and then go forward okay so try to stay on the line kick it up a notch alright so as I get down here it's it really slides around good doesn't it okay now when I get right to the end okay I want to lock my stitches at the end so just look lock it got it and the foot raises oh so don't you all want a baby lock down I couldn't resist I couldn't resist it's just so much fun to lock in the beginning so that whenever you're turning this okay and see how you can just with your presser press your lightning you can just whip around here and then when you get to the opposite and okay lock your stitches I didn't lock in the beginning and you can actually tear the ends you know you open up and the stitches come out so we don't want to do that so I figured out I can sew around all five of these in about ten minutes whoa that's not bad huh so one night up at camp I I just sold for maybe two hours so most of my arts in two hours maybe another hour the next morning and then other than that I did everything in front of the TV so or whenever we we actually were sitting with the girls okay so now take your sharp scissors it's better to have longer ones Teresa likes to do this with the rotary cutter but I don't know I like to do it with my scissors so you're just going to go ahead and cut on the ends don't cut off your lock stitches and then go down the other side did I say 1/8 inch away 1/8 inch away remember that's 1.8 stitch length that's just a little guy all right and so you need to make all five for the laughs robe you do two sets like this there are six fabrics there's twelve blocks so make two sets of each each fabric of each six okay so now they came the stats I love the hemostats dududududududududu I know what you guys did in college with these things but I'm like Bill Clinton okay so take your NEMA stats ok these are called non-locking you see they they don't lock if you get it inside this arc you'll locket okay so this is a locking one and I know you can get them really cheap when you have surgery but sometimes it locks right in the middle so that's why we say non-locking you're gone yeah cheap why you have surgery all right okay so just open at the end and stick your hemostats up to the opposite end okay open your hemostats and just tuck some fabric and the whoo got myself too I haven't got hold of my fabric now I didn't pinch myself ouch okay so then now you just keep hold on that fabric that took a bite out of and now let's get going with it Wow okay and then just finish it off is that nice and then just kind of pick up pick it open on the ends really easy to do TV work now this is all new is our iron hot oh good I want to show you what we're doing sue taught me this she said l use mylar okay can't cut it grab it okay mylar so we want to turn this nice right so I cut a piece of mylar that is about 1/4 inch smaller than your template can you see that is 1/4 inch smaller and on the ends you just you just round them off you round off the ends here and here and I think it's nicer if you make it like a half inch longer than your template ok so then take your mylar and just stick it in there stick it in and just start pushing it in and work with here curve you like that that works really good and you can kind of curve your interfacing so it's down under just put that out to the edges okay so now we have an applique pressing sheet and it is really good to have steam in your iron mylar will not now why when you press it so just put it on there and just press the flat we have it here you know what you could get a really big sheet but we cut to just the size sheet that you need that good so it's just really inexpensive for you so it doesn't take long i sat this morning I got up at 5:00 and I did a whole bunch of these did a whole bunch of these you want to see what I did get excited I pressed all of these this morning yeah is that pretty so these are my six fabrics Theresa turned some of them have worked oh she did him with a knife but it's really quick with a Mylar so these were these were fabrics that we had by the pound and there's just a little bit left some boutiques from Island boutiques and I was showing some guests through one day and I just kind of grabbed them all up and that's what I made it out of that's what I'm making it out of so there are six different collars it really goes from light to medium into dark and I tried to mix up the textures and put a little color into it and these are going to be the corners ooh is that fun all right so let's just lay that up there and I just want to show you you can if you're going to trace your own interfacing you can just cut big chunks of interfacing and just put all your arcs without wasting anything and then as you need five of them or three of them or whatever you can just cut in between like that and [Music] Mary Pat or quilt smart has 16 arcs printed per panel and in the yardage chart I told you how many panels you need if this is the way that you want to go and not do all of your marking so it works good and the arcs are listed right there tells you how many you need don't get excited about Queen at 180 yeah oh my gosh how am I ever gonna do that huh but the left uses 62 so you just you can just pull around and you know so so for a while when you get tired go ahead and switch out and trim out and such okay so that's your arch you're gonna get them all made up but now turn the page yep you can take those just kind of keep everything together so we have our piece where's our piece squares are down here and that's what's in the table runner the piece squares come from 13 inch squares of fabric and what I did was try to pick just like colors this one is like a lot of prints this one is a little bit more sparse so just depending on which print you want to use I don't know these are the best but they're all that's left over from what I was doing so you make two different sets so you have a total for different colors for 13 inch squares alright ready so now we're going to do that ziggy-zag thing Kate do I give them all the measurements I'm sorry there is no mistake all right I'm gonna let you guys figure out everything yeah I don't always tell you everything do I I don't tell you everything Oh Ryan you be quiet okay well we'll tell you about Orion's marriage okay so now I have I changed my foot to my quarter-inch I drew an X on my large squares and now I'm going to sew down the left side okay so just drop my foot and sew down the left side and I'm gonna take everything off except my automatic pivot all right head on down there okay so Oh Ryan invited us to his little daughter's baptism ah is that cute Kylie was I don't know how old she was but I don't want to give you all the details okay now I'm at this diagonal line going across there I'm going to keep my needle down pivot and cross over about a half inch and then turn and go down the opposite side what we want to do is make all of our pieces exactly the same so any out was going to be at the garden and let's see what's the garden called over an instant Oh quail garden quail garden okay now I'm going to repeat with that so the guests were all showing up and Theresa was nowhere to be seen and some of us were holding Kylie she looks so adorable the Catholic priest came he's standing in the front and we're waiting and we look he's holding this book and it says write of marriage what time he's getting baptized today and so all of the sudden the ceremony starts the door opens from behind and the bride walks down the aisle so first these two got married and then Kylie got baptized that a good story so that's why he said it was a surprise wedding it was a surprise in a way it was kind of good because we all didn't get stressed oh my gosh it's a wedding what do we take what do we do so there's a lot of fun all right so I did this Ziggy zaggy thing it looks like a little windmill right in the middle how I leant across and down the other side and you have a picture of that that's young right a number four oh I'm sorry I told you no more details yeah just find it it's in your book oh don't say that okay now I cut it on one line and then I'm just gonna go ahead and cut it on the opposite line notice my wave my new oh no it's not going to wait splash my new splash cutter okay so I have four triangles one two three four I'm going to turn them all over I'm going to call I think this is the darker side let's look which sides the darkest side this side or this side this one I think so too okay so Theresa I want you to press that the seam with the dark on top open and press toward the dark and I'm going to show my new splash cutter that one that the little print yeah that one so it's really sharp first of all but whenever you push against it the break the blade doesn't retract so what I have found is the most difficult thing for people is that they change the blade and they don't know how to get it back together does that happen to you or you lose parts there's all these little there's a screw and there's a washer and and they put it in and they come in really funny you just never know how they go back together hey see the back okay so watch you put your here's a little lever okay that and this doesn't come off that doesn't come off and all that's here is just the blade and the little screw which does not fall apart okay be excited so far so then you you change and you put on a new blade and you put it right in there like that and then you just take this and you put this you put that in there you put the screw in right okay now you want to secure it so you take this and you go poop oh that's pretty cool huh I know I think it's really cool I've got all excited and I was demoing it at Houston and I just got home man I don't even want to try to think how how to change this blade and one of the customers ran up and said I'll show you okay so this is how it goes now we have the four different colors the four different triangles and the reason we did the stitching like we did is that they're all four alike so you can make four different squares and the best thing is the seam locks right here in the center so you just sew right along and open it up and there is barely any squaring up to do you want to make it 12 inches isn't that cute and that's all that I did to do that lots of fun look Teresa we have another we have another project yeah okay turn the page beep so now we have the arc in the middle keep on going Patty's quilt oh boy okay Theresa this is what we have to do you're gonna have to get real busy okay yes okay so don't organize that we have we have to go kick those other things okay so now remember remember remember what we do now doo doo doo doo doo doo okay so now we're on page 12 the mystery so this is actually what and it and made a whole block with four arcs of red and then she did a whole block with four arcs of green and so that's how she set her together even Theresa did that too so you can just go ahead and start putting it up and then actually the little triangles go on here which I'll show you that in the middle in a minute but Patty's quilt is laid out entirely different you should know that of course right you would know that so what you do yes you could go ahead and help her so now you just go you cut out all of your background squares they could be solid or they could be piece like this and so we're doing a lap robe a 12-block lap robe so there's three blocks across and four down and they're quickly quickly putting it all up there these squares are a different size [Laughter] these are different than the 13-inch one you'll have to look in your book oh my goodness okay and so now you put this little edge piece of the round the outside edge you're doing good and then there's going to be the four corners and to finish it off keep on going okay I really pardon me yep right here okay okay there you go put it up there we're doing good whoops we're just losing a couple of things so you can do this on it on a design wall or you can do it on a big table just lay it out on the floor but you really do need to lay it out don't you agree yeah okay so while they do that who has the funniest wedding story to tell you're speechless no funny wedding okay wait Nancy wait wait wait okay what's your funny wedding story my husband was from Scotland so we had full kilts and the men did that's right yes and some of the lady guests were determined to see whether they were regulatory meaning no undies and then when we we looked back on the video it was at my at my home and you have my my son in my and I my sons and I came out and then my sister came out holding my granddaughter and then the guy with the ham came out the ham is that what they do at Scottish whoa he went through the wrong door and just that is very very funny thank you my gosh everybody's giving me little clues as to what to do that was good what okay what do you have so one of her employees Corina called me I haven't talked to her on the phone for probably a year she called me she said I'm doing great which is like okay she said I'm getting married again to my first husband ah they've been divorced for 23 years and they're getting remarried it's gonna be like the four oh my gosh fourth first apartment very interesting so when we were a cam one of the young women Karen said I'm a bride I just got married she's 70 years old and she was sitting there with her new step stepdaughter okay and so beside her there was another lady and Karen said she's a bride too and so I'm just being real nice as that is it your first marriage and she put her head down and she did like this and I said oh no she's crying I don't know what I did and she lifted her head and she said my fourth she said I would still be married to my third husband if he wouldn't have died so anyhow there's all kinds of stories you can really have fun okay so we're gonna do our circles right are we ready okay so we got to pull this over here and yes I'm already and so we're gonna take a bright color look at all the beautiful arcs and I'm going to put it up kind of high a little bit higher than what Patty's so it's different we need four for a circle right but you don't put your circles on the same block okay go around like that one two three ah so you make one big circle Zaku okay so now let's just go ahead and picked another color we want to put another big circle so let's start and we're gonna go this way okay so one okay okay we got another circle good yeah okay let's go for a light one over here and so come on over here and now we're gonna do a third circle so you just have to start with one circle lay it out and just keep on adding now this circle is going to go out into the side piece right here and then up above so basically I told you that you need to have four for a whole circle but to make extras because look at this this one see if you wanted to start a circle here you just pick that one extra one that you made and put it right there and so from that point now you just start going let me see what which one this one this one this one oh here's my piehole are in there you know I had to put an X on it because I kept on losing it so do that okay do you want to do one more okay yeah so you just keep on laying them out and what Patti did she got real complicated she did like the rainbow if you look at hers you know she tells you how she did at the rainbow so you just keep on going until you completely have your whole quilt your whole your all your blocks laid out how's that nice okay so now let's turn the page beep I have one that we already started so you can draw an X through this too should I start with a whole new one you always start the whole new one is it okay if I do with this one new one new one okay which one none of them are complete yet okay fine okay so Teresa which color okay take that one oh we don't have we don't have any of these here let's get this one going in there all right one two three for huh yay good job okay so now we need to have our little corner templates and on this one they actually didn't print this little tick mark but look at your little templates for your corner on page 11 okay I'm page 11 there is your corner but there's a little tick mark right in the center and I really like that tick mark because it helps you line up your arcs Oh so make sure you draw that in this is what I'm talking about right there okay let's go right here and draw all four corners it does help you also if you press in the diagonal lines okay get that on there okay over here all four see Orion you just wanted to keep them yes right okay okay Theresa are you going to iron for me press for me okay so now you line these up so you use that little tick mark as the center point for the two arcs and these may hang over it's okay it's fine because you're gonna cover these up with your corner triangles okay and so now I'm putting these all in place but let me go around the ruler up Thun you better be Teresa I have to tell you when I was at market festival there was a young man there that said Teresa should stop being mean to you yeah what are you talking about and he said well she just grabbed stuff from you they're already talking about you you're in trouble yes of course it works well with the press so that you can just use this down really quick Yeah right a press and electronic press an electronic press you put it on there and you just pull the press down has a lot of a lot of weight a lot of pressure and it seems that and then fold it flip it over and do it from the backside okay now I really like to use the blanket stitch when I sew this down Teresa what do you what stitch do you like to use yeah that that is really the good point she loves the UM she loves the blanket stitch but she wants to do it straight and so whoops let me get this in here and I think that somebody does you know what we saw today somebody did invisible thread so it looked like was done by hand yes with the blind hem stitch and that was really nice but I like to use I like to select a blanket stitch it goes it goes on the outside and takes a bite in you need to have the bite that bites to the left to the left okay you did a beautiful job all right you did a great job no more grabbing me they're out there talking about you okay so needle down okay I am going to use a width of 3.5 and I think a length of 3 so I like that okay so you do a straight stitch on the background and then your bike goes in okay I'm gonna step on the gas so you can see what I'm doing you start on the inside you go the whole way around the inside and then turn and go on the outside okay can you see that Orion shoulda I've started it earlier oh yes it'll cover it it'll be fine oh I see what he meant by earlier see down here I could have started a little earlier you better be careful are you gonna get picked on to the audience's out there watching you they say oh yeah your son's always pushing you around telling you to stand on this little mark stand on that little mark look how far I went in I did such a good job where do you see this corner oh wow wowie do you see then I do good let's see look you can just really speed up okay so you go on the inside right and then you cut and then you have to turn and go on the outside and I see a little bit of interfacing showing you can go ahead and just take your stiletto and roll it under and you won't see it now you know it's still it's the same stitch it's still biting to your left still biting to your left okay on this stitch it is number four cue 14 I have a width of 3.5 and I did a length of three and I like that take a look at it I think it looks good so look good so you can just play around and you can do whatever okay so all we have is our corner we're going to do all of our stitching and this is a little bit different for your corner this is a 2 and 3/4 inch square and I decided to use the whole square in the corner instead of cutting and only using half because I think that if you take your square you press it in half and then you line that square up with your corner when you fold it back out you get a better fold a better it's square a square out there more square it's more square ok and what I recommend is that you don't stitch exactly in the ditch to compensate for the fold stitch one thread to the right of the fold so if you set up your machine for a straight stitch okay I've got a straight stitch on here but just move your needle one thread to the right on my foot that I'm using I have there I have a center mark I have a guide I'm going to put my guide right on the fold but my needle is going to be one thread to the right and that's just to compensate for the fold so that whenever you open it up are nearly done okay so whoops so here we are here and you just check it fold it out make sure it's good and when you like it then just go back take the quarter inch lines on your foot I'm so close take the quarter inch line in your foot Dada okay I'm Teresa can you move everything away that's right here in the day limit I think his name was Michael he's probably watching right now okay so then you fold it out oh my wedding picture no you can take that take everything take it all move it off and so you do all four corners trim it off and that's the block yeah but wait I have one more I'm going to show you I had so much fun making it that I did another one it was with benartex fabric and it's like little words I think it's called wordplay wordplay and I can't wait to show that one to you okay this is the fifth row people need to have the iron off to Theresa so this one I just made with six two by three and I did do peace background very subtle and soft and the greens oh isn't that pretty I think it's really fun really fun to do this is Row three and these rows these are not hard to sew together there seems that they do not lock right here but they just line up on top of each other and you can surely use a pin right there if you want but I find that I usually finger pin match and finger pin another row this is a row two at the top and the top row open it up yay whoops turn it around very cool is that cool I really like it very very cool and what's fun is that you can press your seam so that when you sew your top together they will lock and if you go to page 18 page 18 on the very first one it says to push your seams out push your seams out so this is what I meant out I went in on the the long one and I pressed out the seams went out and then over here I went on where the next one was and press the seams out so that then if these are out then the next row the seams are in okay so I went to this first seam and pressed it in and the opposite side in and then go over here press it in and so when you put these together you are actually going to be locking them whenever you sew yes is that good yeah we like locking seams so you can just go right sides together sew them right across and there's no borders on this little guy we didn't do borders on most of them and many of them we didn't do any borders how fun is that nube did I say it right new bow I think it's fun good deal all right so did you oh yes you know what Shelley I did this one just for you because you went and you got the Accu quilt cutter and this is what the Accu quilt has done you can cut this out and I actually put the fabric in the interfacing layered it together cut it together and then the square I did a little bit bigger but look what they have we're not going to do all this right you could just all pieces together but this basically I use this and this is the size of the arcs they're a little bit chunkier than what we've been doing but I just had fun putting them together oh I think they can tell you can see you can see it's a little bit fatter but it was a lot of fun to do very very quick very very quick would you like sharing who brought anything to share let us see yay
