Excellent teaching video! I've always wondered where to put the line on the ruler for cutting the fabric. You are the first person to tell me "line on edge of fabric". That is a game changer. Plus a dab of glue so it doesn't move. Thank you!!!!

The opaque scotch tape on the back of your ruler will stop it moving. Small pieces of glitter washi tape also works amazingly well and doesn’t leave residue.

The Sewing Studio tutorials are always so helpful and interesting!!! Thank you!

Three uses for the rotary blade! Wow!

I genuinely like the O'lipfa ruller that catches on the edge of your table. It spares my grip strength on my arthritic hands as well. I've literally worn out 2 O'lipfa rullers. Its so helpful.

Wow! Now I know where to place my ruler when cutting - thank you so much! This video really helped in my understanding of where to place the line of the ruler on the edge of the fabric. Also like the idea of having three different uses for a sharp blade, one that is not to sharp and one for cutting paper. Great advise/ideas. Thanks for sharing!

This is such a GREAT video. It explains all my wonders. For example...esp where to place the black cutting line. DUH! Going to be my BIG change. Also fine tuning that 1/4 inch seam. HUGE thank you. ❤your videos, the simple explanations will definitely make sewing a pleasure.

Being able to sew an accurate 1/4” seam allowance was a game changer for me. When I started quilting I thought all standard feet were a 1/4”. The one on my machine was 3/8”! A lot of times you just need a consistent seam allowance but when it matters that you sew an accurate 1/4” seam it really does matter. When a pattern calls for a scant 1/4” SA I just move my needle over one place. I was shocked to learn you should never use your mat to measure cuts without checking that it’s accurate over the whole mat. Many aren’t accurate or aren’t accurate over the whole mat. This information came from Olfa. Luckily my mat is accurate. Thanks for another great tutorial.

Also worth noting that when sewing points for flying geese and diamonds, always use full 1/4 to get proper clearance. A scant will leave you wanting. I have a great 1/4 inch foot guide for my Bernina. With a straight stitch plate, I can go one click to the right for perfect scant and not needle rub/breakage.

So very true --- all my quilts made by my grandmother are not perfect! I love them all!

Thank you I just found your channel … love your top tips .. love from Canada 🇨🇦

Very useful reminders. Thank you.

I found Lori Holt's double pins helpful on matching seams. Nice tutorial, thank you ❤

The only person I have ever heard explaining just where to have that ruler line on the fabric edge. Have asked but never received an answer. As anew quilter I thankyou . I love the tutorials. Thankyou, I have learnt a lot.

Thank you for the reminder. ❤

Invaluable info. Saving vid . Thank you !

Amen on test blocks.

Great tips!! We all can use reminders. Old habits die hard, as they say. Thanks for the video 😊

Good points all, thanks again. I still have those UFOs from many years ago, that as I write this I am sorting out 5 such projects, because I have learned a lot along my journey. Yesterday, I did bind three mug rugs I pieced 4 or 5 years ago, The bindings came out so much better. I am always happy to watch and learn.

Thank you, your Tips are very helpful for me 😊

Thank you for this helpful tutorial

Helpful. Remember nobody will die if your quilt isn't perfect.

Great tips! I learned where to put the ruler for accurate cutting!

I wouldn't quilt without my Stripology ruler. While an investment, it saves more time when cutting/subcutting with perfect accuracy (and that saves money on miscut fabric) However, I always put a weight on it.

I love my Stripology ruler. I starch and my accuracy has improved tremendously. I prefer the Quilter’s Select rulers.

Thank you for your tips. I sure do appreciate all you do. Love from USA

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! This is one of THE best instruction videos I have seen.

Thank you. Great tips I hadn’t heard before!

Thank you Katrina very helpful tips and now I'm off to buy a 2.5 ruler !!!😃xx

Thank you so much! Love your videos

Thank you, that was excellent.,

Thanks for this great tutorial...thank you Jeanette.

Really useful - I would add, use a good pressing technique, making sure you’ve encouraged all of the fabric to lie really flat, leaving no ‘wrinkles’ near to the seam. For me, that made a difference

What glue are you talking about please?

What is the name of the glue pi and we’re can I buy it

Do you ever starch?

I do like the videos from the sewing studio. However I find you labour the point too much. I find myself fast forwarding. Why didn't you show how to cut yardage?
