Join me at my cabin in the woods for some off grid quilting! I'll be piecing these fun String blocks using my hand crank sewing machine. Such a fun block to make - and uses all those leftover strips.

My grandmother made all of my dresses on a treadle Singer when I was a child. She didn't have an electric machine until the 60's. Wish I had the space for one!

I always wanted a hand crank machine. You are lucky. But I do own several treadle so I have the love of those machines prefect stitching.

You can always add a hand crank to an old iron machine. I had one with a bad motor and swapped it out for a crank. It sews just as lovely!

I, too own a hand crank sewing machine % it’s a Spartan/Singer 99. Thought I was crazy when I found it as I’m not the most coordinated person on the planet, but found out thst it’s very easy to manage! Haven’t used her for quite awhile but I think I just might start taking her to my guild sewing day! The Spartan machines never came with any kind of cover so maybe I need to make a cute one first!!!

Spartans are wonderful. I used to have one and then sold it....wish I still had it. Keep an eye out for my next video - it's going to be about a 99k - taking it from drab to fab! Thanks for watching!

Like your new intro! Looks lovely and peaceful there.

Wow. What a great idea making these blocks!!! I think I could use regular baking parchment paper. It doesn't have wax i checked. I'll cut my own squares. Thank you very much.

How did you film this without electricity?

@littlefootquiltshoppe1130 3 күн бұрын

Hello!! I use my iPhone, which is a battery. I have to wait until til I get home with WiFi and electricity to upload and edit the video.

@sandyarnold6888 4 күн бұрын

How did you iron it without electricity? I saw an old fashioned iron on the counter❤

@littlefootquiltshoppe1130 4 күн бұрын

I had a sadiron on my woodstove! Not perfect, but not too bad. I realized when I was editing the video I mentioned an iron and didn't explain.

Reverse half the blocks would be pretty in that quilt also, right?

Yes!!

Hand crank machine is so cool! Why do you use the paper? Why not just sew the strips together???

@littlefootquiltshoppe1130 17 күн бұрын

Great question! You can....however because of the different size/widths of strips, it can be very challenging to create a square block without some sort of foundation. But feel free to experiment!!!! There's no 'one way' to do things!!

I was given a very old hand turn sewing machine as a child and have many happy memories of using it. Later, after serious illness, I took up patchwork ,eventually going on to teach patchwork for 25years. So many happy memories all starting from my little sewing machine.
