Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this episode, Sherri and Chelsi share many of their favorite quilting notions in a special "Favorite Things" episode. They also do a deep dive into the Swoon Quilt pattern by Camille Roskelley of Thimble Blossoms, after receiving multiple questions about the quilt when it was mentioned in episode 50. Sherri shares her story of piecing together the first Swoon quilt, and Chelsi shares her story of hiking her Swoon quilt to the top of a mountain!

Maybe you can get Camille to come on the show in the future and share her swoon quilts and any tips or tricks she might have. She is so delightful...
Love that Mom did the binding! Way to Billy on complimenting /commenting on your sister's progress. :)
Yes, Sherri's binding videos. That's how I learned to bind and reference when I need a refresher.
I was at a retreat at Primitive Gatherings in December 2021 and Lisa was working on your pillow! She mentioned sharing it with you. So cute!
Love the sweet pea quilt-using panels helps the piecing go faster=more quilts!
I just love everything you do & especially that you are family! I just went to my first quilt show recently in Dallas & got to hold & feel the Quilter Select rotary cutter! It is heavier, easier to control & felt so good in your hands :) I can't thank you enough for all the great new info & KZread videos that I can re-watch all the time as I'm learning, they are priceless!!!
My Janome 8900QCP and my Bernina 770QE plus both sew plenty fast for me. In fact I love the speed adjustment on them because very accurate piecing is necessary for my happiness. I owned a low end Juki (can't remember the number) for a short time. Bought it for a travel machine but I only sewed on it for maybe 2 hours before giving it to a friend for her daughter. Now my travel machine is a Brother cs6000i and it is perfect for retreats and classes and for teaching my 4 year old granddaughter to sew! I learned to sew on a Singer because my mom's mom was a professional dressmaker and passed down her machine when she got a new one. When I got married, I bought a Kenmore that I used for 20 years and passed on to my sister when I treated myself to a Bernina Virtuosa 160 in 1997 and which I still own (and still works great). Another 20 years later, I used some severance money to splurge on a Janome 8900QCP, which I still own and which still works superbly. Then I went crazy (for me) and bought my diva machine (the Bernina 770) on December 30, 2021 (sale, ya know!) even though I was still loving my Janome (and will never sell except maybe to my BFFF - best fabric friend forever LOL - if she ever wants it as a replacement for her Janome 6600) Obviously I am open to diversity! ps. I also own an aqua Hello Kitty machine (Janome) for it's cuteness. It does work, but not up to my needs. Maybe my granddaughter will want it someday....
Love the quilters select rulers. They are the best I have ever used.
I had just realized that I missed this podcast, so I knew I had to watch it! I had a death in the family so I didn’t just forget about y’all!! Great video with lots of tips. Chelsi, your quilts are super cute!!!❤️
Chelsea, your quilts are just beautiful with your new Emma line. Watching Fat Quarter Shop showcase the new fabrics coming out, Kimberly Jolly placed Emma as her most favorite line! Congrats you two! Always love to hear about your favorite things. The Swoon quilt at Angel's Landing was spectacular and a very fun story! Have a great week!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
I absolutely love this video format! 😊 Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
I’ve reserved a “Emma” FQ bundle (from FQ shop)… sew excited 😊 And I love LOVE the “memories” pattern ❣️
I am on my 3rd machine. My first 2 were Singers. I just purchased my very first Baby Lock (Brilliant) and I love it! The Baby Lock Accomplish is comparable in every way to the Juki. I kind of wish I had known about the straight-line quilting sewing machines beforehand. But my Brilliant has all the bells and whistles and I love the easy threading system and the plastic bobbins.

Love my Baby Locks too especially the Brilliant :)
One online quilt shop owner said on her video recently that you need to not slide the QS rulers across the fabric as you are repositioning it. She said they use them in their shop and the film on the back will eventually wear off by not lifting them. Granted, they will probably use theirs more than the average quilter, but I wanted to pass that along as a hint…maybe use one of the handles that attach by suction cups to be able to easily lift them. I have invested so much in my Creative Grids ruler collection that I doubt I’ll change brands, but I love the idea of a no-slip ruler!

There is a spray called Grippy. Just spray it on.. It works like the QS rulers.
So much information and fun this morning! Thank you.😊
Great episode! Love the Emma quilt - those fabrics are so pretty’
I love all of your quilts Chelsea! They are just so gorgeous and your color choices within the Emma Collection is amazing!
Very enjoyable video. Love the quilt on the wall. Sweet. Al good information. Mi have a Juki TL-2010Q and love it. Sews fast, and the fabric never gets caught in the machine under the needle.
Thanks for all the information. Very helpful.
Another great podcast - thanks!
Love seeing all the beautiful quilts. Thanks for sharing
This was a wonderful podcast, again! The wall quilt is gorgeous! Love how yellow can add so much joy in a quilt. Great job!
So much fun to watch! And informative! Thanks to you both.
Love these types of videos!!
The Janome MC 9450 is awesome, too.
Chelsea- I love the quilt on the wall - way to go! I’ve been to Angels landing but without a quilt - Yay you! So much good and interesting information in this episode - thank you all!
I actually looked up the Swoon quilt after hearing you mention it and I bought the pattern to make it for my daughter! So funny that we all went for it! I love your quilts this week Chelsi!
Memories is such a beautiful quilt, and such a heartwarming idea behind it. I learned my binding from video by Mimi Dietrich. However, Sherri’s pillow tutorial and putting in the zip, I think I watched and followed that step by step countless times. 🌟
Love that Lisa B sent this pillow! Great story to share and this is adorable.
I do all the binding on all my daughter's quilts. Yay "mom".
I loooooooove my Janome! The M7 is so fast!
I just wanted to compliment Chelsi on her fabric design. I prefer her flower designs over pretty much anyone else's. The color, density and overall design makes me want to buy yards more than I should! :)
I loved this episode! So many helpful hints for sewing machines and notions. Before I knew about diagonal seam tape and the mini corners trim tool (and many other quilting rules) I tried a Swoon 16 quilt. It ended up being a Swoon 9 quilt because I got so frustrated and decided to stop at 9 blocks. I think I could have a less frustrating experience if I tried one now. We still use the quilt I made though. Love all of your quilts and patterns!
Quilters Select rulers have been around forever & I love them!!
Love the memories quilt!!!
Love the colors in your swoon quilt Chelsea!!!
Hello! I hope you have a marvelous week ahead. I very much enjoyed this video and was able to sit and hand quilt. Thanks for posting this video!
So enjoyed this podcast with the swoon discussion your family dynamics awesome 👏
Love the swoon quilt
Great episode. Love Chelsi’s quilts. I have and use many of your favourite tools. I recently changed sewing machine brands and even though the new machine sews a beautiful stitch and has a few “options” that are great, it’s missing some that the other brand has had as standard on their mid-priced machines for several years.
I would like to add two of my favorites. The Sewline marking pencils ❤️ and the super long quilting, 1 7/8” pins by clover 💕 The pins don’t leave huge holes in the fabric and (cover your eyes quilt police) you can sew over them which I do all the time especially when sewing very small pieces together. Never broke a pin or a needle or pocked out an eye 😉
Beautiful swoon quilt, Chelsea!
I love hour cup Sherri. Maybe you guys could talk about your favorite summer and winter beverages you bring along to your seeing room.
Wonderful mom you are Sherrie!❤️❤️❤️
I love bloc loc rulers!
I have the Juki TL2010Q and love love love it,,,its awesome for quilting and also bag making,,I highly recommend them
I purchased my Juki TL2010 from Primitive Gatherings several years ago, and love it. I would recommend purchasing the hinged standard 1/4 foot for accurate piecing, and not the 1/4 with the guide. For some reason this foot is not included with the machine. This machine is a game changer for piecing.
Do either of you use a binding board? I saw one on Corey’s KZread channel. The Quilters Select rulers are my all time favorite! You can even turn the fabric and the ruler does not slide! 💕
I love the swoon pattern. Mine is still cut out in a tote. Other than my little houses I think it's my only ufo. I can't wait until I get settled enough post move to sew again.
Robert Kaufman has a great ap to help with quilting measurements, etc. I highly recommend it especially when you are out and about and don't bring any of your other reference tools with you. (Also love Auriful 2021 but I make mostly what I call white quilts. Lots of white background awesome to showcase quilting designs.)
I also LOVE my Juki. Go Juki or go home!
I really wish you had showed some of the favorites you mentioned. If I didn't know what the diagonal tape was before I would never have understood what it was from the podcast on you tube. I also would have liked to see some of the speciality rulers. Exept for those sighs I found it interesting :-)
The quilt on the wall… swoon worthy!
I have a Janome Memory Craft 6600 too! 😄 Love it. Can't understand why you would want a new one after only ten years though? I mean if it's sewing well why not keep it. I think there would be some pretty old sewing machines still in use.
I sew on Janome 6700P and my piecing machine is the Janome HD9. You may want to test drive it. It's very fast. I think 1800 stitches per minute
Before you make a decision on a new machine try the Janome 1600P, it’s a power house machine. Straight stitch only. Very similar to the Juki....
When I first started thinking about quilting it was Sherries table runner beginner I watched first and I also watched her binding 1
Try out the Janome 1600 PQC. Awesome!
Your quilts and fabrics are so beautiful. I missed the episode introducing the Emma collection. Who was Emma? Thank you. ❤️
I LOVE Chelsea’s “Joyful “ quilt. Where can I find it?? Is it in the Emma book?
Grey does not work when you use a lot of white. I use the bright white if using white, otherwise grey in light,medium,dark. I also match my thread to the binding. For quilting I will change threads to match.
Tell us about the quilt behind Chelsi, it’s gorgeous! What is the name of the pattern? Thank you for your podcasts, it makes my Monday morning ❤️💕💖

“Joyful”
I use aurifill 2000 for almost everything
Enjoyed your video, Chelsi’s quilts are beautiful, and loved hearing about your favourite quilting supply things. I’m certainly wanting a domestic sewing machine Thad has a ruler foot attachment. Have been thinking about the Janome Memory Craft MC 9450QCP, Memory Craft 7700 and Memory Craft 8900QCP.They also have the Professional M7 but it’s so expensive. I’m always going to top quilt my own so quilt so this is a important decision. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊

Check out Baby Lock Jazz 2!
I could be wrong but I thought you mentioned a pillow form you liked an Amazon and were going to link it. I have no interest in making my own pillow forms so please let me know if you do have one you recommend or I am thinking of someone else. Thanks!
Can you tell me the dimensions of your quilt ladder it looks perfect? Also did you make it or purchase it? Thanks
Hi, could you please fix the link for the "Container Store White Metal Baskets with Wood Handles"... it says "internal server error" on both this KZread and Blog link. Many thanks!
I have been searching for the ruler that Sherri mentioned last 1/2 inch with line cut out down middle for quarter inch markings. What is the name of it and where can I buy one? i bought on from amazon and it was wrong.
I like using weights like 5 pounds on my ruler’s to hold it steady when cutting fabric. When you get older your strength is less.
What is a diagonal tape and your half triangle ruler?
Hi Ladies, can you share how you might be able to add a label to a quilt that has already been quilted?

Just applique it on.
question...why do you whear headphones for youtube videos? you are sitting facing each other....
Why aren't you showing the rulers?
Unless I need black
Next time show the notion or ruler you are talking about. Don’t know what diagonal tape is or what stripology looks like.
