Hi
Very usefully. I like. I am so happy.
How do I get to advertise on Facebook and Instagram like I have been seeing a lot of pretty ads
Is there a way to reduce a pattern down to Minature? There are not hardly any Minature patterns or instructions.
Hello from NC
Where could I find pattern for quilt behind you?
Hi! Just looked up bubble quilt for you. It’s apparently a form of quilting where you sew two 5” squares together to make them like a bubble, then stuffing the bubble with batting and sew the bubbles into a quilt. (https://sewingsociety.com/how-to-make-a-bubble-quilt-step-by-step/)
When machine sewing binding onto my quilt, my quilt ends up with ripples along the edges. So it does not lay flat. What can I do to change this?
Do you prefer to press your seam open or to the side. If you are not stitching in the ditch
Does it really matter if you put the batting upside down?
What is the perfect machine for quilting
What would be the best free-motion quilt design for a beginner?
I’ve been trying to contact you for some time. I’ve been a member for a very long time. (Before paying a membership fee) I can’t get into projects paid for and free ones you offered.
Just got a midarm machine and Craftsy lessons are going to be my teachers for quilting. Thank you Craftsy

No comment yet. Just here to listen in. This will be my first live Craftsy Chat. I’ve just started quilting a lot again after about 10 years away from it. Hoping to learn some new things and maybe revive some of the old things. Thank you.
Watching from Michigan, but lived in Minnesota for 30 years.
I have never quilted anything will this help me to get started
Hi Kelly! What is your favorite serger and Will Craftsy ever have their “wish list” come back? It was very useful for me to keep classes there that I was considering purchasing! I am able to look at them when I have a little spare time without having to search for them again(huge timesaver). And then I was able to go my wish list to purchase from there. I miss it, it made life so much easier and I was on the site more often.
Hello I’m a current member.
Newbie wanting to learn the best and easiest ways to start.
Seems like this is the new norm for classes…..
Invited to attend
I’ve seen that people sometimes use their serger for piecing. While it seems like everything would be so secure and neat, wouldn’t that make your seam bulky? What’s your take on that?
Hi
Happy to be here
Good afternoon, My question concerns seams allowances. I see from most publications that the usual seam allowance is a quarter of an inch. But – if I making an item that will require frequent washing – would a more generous seam allowance be preferable? If so, what allowance would you recommend?
Susan, pretty much everything in quilting is based on a 1/4″ seam allowance. If you are doing heavy washing then you definitely don’t want to press seams open and you may want to do heavier quilting on the project before binding it. All the patterns and blocks and rulers etc are based on the standard seam allowance of a quarter inch, so you will have difficulty getting your seams to match up if you stray from that measurement.
