    Chopsticks are great for stuffing pushers. I have those in my sewing room all the time.

    Fold an 8.5×11″ paper in half, draw half a heart on folded side. Cut that out and symmetrical heart comes out. Waaalaa

    Thanks this was fun and very inspiring – checking in from Vancouver Island BC where it is trying to be sunny.

    Sometimes I use two pins to mark the start and stop points.
    If you are making several heasrts, make a bunch of hook strips all at once in one long strip. then cut it to proper length. Saves time!

      Hi Jean, check the bottom left corner of the video player. You might have to click the mute button. Sometimes that button gets clicked!

    Can we save this for later. I am just watching and learning now and would like to come back to it to actually make it.

      Hi Sarah,
      Make sure to scroll to the very top of this page. There should be a video player. You might have to click the play button to get the video started.

    I had a reminder that said this started in half an hour, but on the video link at the top of this page the ‘set reminder’ button indicates it doesn’t start for 7 hours. Does anyone have any clarification on this time discrepancy?

      Hi Darla,
      Thank you for notifying us! I just fixed the “set reminder” time on YouTube. This event starts at 2:00 PM CT.

      Thank you,
      Jessica

    I have been making quilts that have gone well I am just sure about how you go about and what attachments to use to actually quilt. Have all pinned in place etc.
