I love watching your tutorials. I’ve been sewing since I was old enough to hold a needle and thread. I love your sewing style and your clear, concise explanations. Wonderful! Thank you!
I kept hoping to see how the thread spool was mounted on the machine. If the thread is pulling from the side, that may be why the thread is twisting. The thread on a cross wound spool needs to be pulled straight off the top of the spool, not from the side.

You are so down to earth and helpful in so many ways. I picked up some of your tips on raw edge applique. I like doing this method because, yep, it's faster and at my age, I want faster now (did I give it away that I am an old gal hee hee). You truly have a knack for picking out colors for your quilts. They are always bright and happy, not too bright, just right. I will look at all your videos later. I was born and raised in Indiana, a Michigander for years now. Thanks so much for all that you do to share with all of us. Happy New Year and many hugs to you..... Claudia

You may want to try some Invisifil 100wt thread and pair it with Decob 80wt to see if you like it. (not saying that you need to). I love Aurofil, but recently started piecing with Decobob 80wt top and bottom. Great for when there are many seams. It is a cottonized polyester.

You put the thread through the holes in an over and under pattern through the 3 holes. I've learned if you bypass all three and only use one of the holes the thread stops curling. The curling is the only fault I have with Aurifil.

I like the easy "just chatting" style rather than "teacher style" videos. I will definitely watch more and have subscribed. Thank you for sharing the technique. I think you explained it very well and thoroughly. I'm not much of an applique quilter but you inspire me to want to give it another go. Any suggestions for stitches other than a blanket stitch? I use mainly vintage machines that have a small number of specialty stitches or nothing but straight & zigzag.

Gütermann thread won't do that and it won't twist around when you're hand stitching. I've tried varied ones but Gütermann thread is the very best. Unless you're using the wrong needle in your machine, it won't break either. (It costs more than the average does though, but it's worth it.) PS: I can never get the paper on the proper side. I have a little dyslexia and tend to do things the wrong way 5 times before I catch on. Also, I can never get it to stick properly. Do you find that it doesn't work on flannel?

No. As long as you follow the instructions on fusible it will be fine. I've used a smaller stitch and its fine. However If you are making a quilt that will be used heavily and daily, needing to be washed every week, I would not use raw edge applique. For those quilts I used turned edge applique. I have video for how I do the turned edge applique on a patriotic pillow. All my quilts get was at least twice a year in a washing machine. Some of them are over 10 yrs old and are still holding up fine. Thanks for watching.
