Show 509
OK, after this one I'm full of questions I hope some can be answered.
In Alex's isosceles triangle part, why couldn't the square (tree) part be left as a whole square, marked with the lines for sewing the triangles to, sewn and then trimmed down like you would with geese? It is after all just a long geese block really. It would eliminate a bias edge.
We were treated to some fabulous quilts. Why was the camera panning and zooming all over the place? We seemed to miss one being talked about and then we finally had some proper views on To Have and To Hold. (Beautifully done too!).
I was amazed at the lack of basting. Would there be lots more on a full size quilt? And does she always use pins?
Did she pre wash the batting as it is wool or afterwards to add to the heirloom look.
And what does she use to mark the pattern on the quilt with? It looked like wash away pen?
Perhaps they are simple questions for some of you to answer, maybe I missed something in the show, I know it's probably all in the book which I will order next month, I just feel a little frustrated by this show!! :roll:Tags: None

I agree with some of your concerns, the camera does move way too fast. This should have been an entire show. I remember she said she does use the the blue washout marker, if the fabric can get wet, otherwise she uses the paper.
You might just email her some of your questions, I was wondering how she gets such straight lines, mine always seem to wobble.

I will have to play with that- I think it is then a lining up issue - but here is what I have thought of since - at my retreat next month we are playing with this shape - PAPER PIECING!
Do you guys want Lilo to try and line up a chat with Joanie?

I LOVED this show! It takes the quilting possibilities to a whole new level! She obviously has practiced a lot to have excellent control of her stitches and is willing to put in the many hours it takes to create an heirloom. I agree that I would love to see MORE, so I've ordered the book and am anxious to watch her entire CD.

Chat's are always good but you'd have to ask my questions for me, they're always too late for over here.ops:

Seems to me I did it your way one time Amoret. When I did it I measured and marked dots on my peices that I used while pinning to match things up. Sew, press, check, then flip and trim the seam to 1/4" once you know you have it right. I also seem to remember it being a royal pain in the keaster, lol. Those stars were on one of the first quilts I ever did, so it was a really long time ago. If I ever do them again I am almost certainly going to paper peice them next time.

I loved this program! It reinforces the fact that you don't have to have a big quilting frame and machine to do beautiful work. It can be done on a domestic machine. (not that I'm not lusting after the new HQ 18 ) One thing Joanie emphasized that I needed to hear was patience..something I don't always have. The quilting isn't done in a day but over time. I liked the fact that she said to slow down and to plan your "route" ahead of time.

Talk about great timing, this was it. I'm in the process of making a quilt using the "54/40 or Fight" block as it fit my design purpose the best. I wasn't sure how I was to piece the block and finally decided on paper-piecing. Luckily, this show and Alex's wonderful teaching allowed me to measure, cut, sew, and press the blocks correctly. It worked perfectly. Thank you Alex.

I've got the Dazor magnifying light and I've always recommended it! It's the best.And while I'm thinking of light, I also recommend sticking the little Brite Light (I think that's the name) on TOP of the machine, rather than to the left side. This way the light can be aimed at the RIGHT side of the presser foot - it's always darker over there - LOL! My 60 year old eyes enjoy this set - up - I Don't even use my glasses to quilt any more.

The way to find anything is to google it! There are also other magnifier lights out there, but I find that you need a large lens, several inches across so you can just put your whole face in it! I think googling magnifier lights will give you the most choices. But Dazor is fantastic. A bit pricey, but I couldn't manage without it!
