    Every video of yours is literally my happy place. Learn a lot from you, which I am grateful for. Have to say, this video with the math and the hand stitching video with the needle size feel like a crochet hook or stabbing a whale summ or other are a cpl of my favorites. Laughs have been had. Cheers from BC Canada 🇨🇦

    @SuzyQuilts thank you! Have been scouring your website and all things sewing. Buying my first machine today at 47 years old. Figure it's high time I sew some quilts rather than just design them. I actually have a fabric stash even 😂 So this is all very exciting and you have given me the extra oomph I need! ❤️

    Very entertaining video. "Oh, I think I melted it." 😂😂😂 That's one I haven't tried yet! "Measure twice, cut once" has turned into "measure three times" as I age. I recently added the small clear, round silicone stickers to help my rulers not slip. I find that they are really helpful on the big rulers. They add a wee bit too much elevation to the small square ones that I have. I love those woven fabrics. Where do you shop for them? I'm retired and just found your channel today over my coffee. I got a little comment happy; I hope you don't mind. You are a very talented artist and all your hard work shows. May it always bring you joy.

    Hi Suzy, newbie here. Don't people use the grid on their mat as one tool for measuring? I think my cutting technique needs help for sure but I've been using that combo. I feel a bit confused.

    That is one way, and if you feel comfortable using the grid marks on your mat there's no issue continuing to do so. Unless I am cutting a huge piece of fabric, I like to use the guides on my ruler. I think I get more accurate cuts that way and once you get the technique down, it's faster.

    4:17 “Eight and a half plus one and a half is nine and a half” 😳🤔🫣 “Usually my math is wrong first two times” I agree 👍😜😂 You made me laugh… Apparently most quilters are math challenged… Good video.., thank you 🤗
