I’m very new in the quilting world. I’ve only done 2 quilts (for babies) and they were so-so. Quilting is not a regular thing here on the island but I love it. Now that ruler is a must for me since I’m literally a beginner. It would be of great help to me to make this log cabin project. Thank you Jen for this wonderful tutorial.

I have learned so much from watching your videos. You're an excellent teacher! I ordered the cordless iron from your site a couple years ago and love it!! I use it every day when I am sewing! I also ordered the log cabin ruler from you and absolutely love that and how easy it makes trimming up the square! My courthouse steps hot pad turned out great with your help! on these patterns, in the future, would you consider listing the total yardage for each color? That way we can use different fabrics after we initially get the kit and will know how much we need to order to make them in other colors? Thanks so much.

If you pin perpendicular to your stitching line, with the heads of the pins extending off the fabric, you can easily remove the pins as you stitch . This results in more accurate pinning.

To remind me where to place the next strip so I don’t get the block order messed up, I always turn the block in the same direction to sew the next strip on, either clockwise or counter clockwise depending on your pattern directions. Put a sticky note on your machine to remind you! Another trick is to sew the new strip onto the block side that has two seam joins on it (except for the first round which has the center square).

Hi Carol - While this is our practice for filming our tutorials, we do not keep our wool ironing mats on our cutting mats (or plastic) in our sewing rooms - we do place those on top of an ironing board. Because the we do not use the iron for long periods of time while filming, it hasn't affected the large cutting mat so far. Hope this makes sense :) -Michelle

Does the ruler come in other sizes than the 10”. I like smaller log cabin blocks.

Good question! With the 10" ruler you can make sizes up to 10" meaning that you can still do smaller sizes with the same ruler. I hope this was helpful if you have any other questions please let me know. - Yajaira

Another way of not sewing on the wrong side is to lay out the unstitched bock in the shape of the block and take one piece off and add it then there’s no risk of getting it wrong

Always love and learn so much from your tutorials and Tammy too. He pineapple Creative tutorial was WONDERFUL and might not have made one without it. However, with this log cabin one, I must be missing something. If have to cut all pieces to size to start with in length. Why not the width. It doesn’t seem as helpful as the pineapple Creative ruler where you didn’t have to cut to size.

@ShabbyFabrics

Great question! If you use the ruler to square up after each seam, you don't have to cut to the exact size lengthwise or widthwise. Many quilters prefer to cut to size to begin with to avoid excess waste.😊 - Yajaira

I haven't tried my first quilt yet , but watching many tutorials on KZread, I cannot understand why, if you cut stips to exact size, why you have to keep trimming with every single round. Not a criticism at all, I enjoyed the video, but having never quilted, I'd like to learn as much as possible before I jump in, it just seems like a lot of waste and quite a lot of time wasted too.

I noticed you did not engage the dual feed. That feature has been a game changer to better seams.

According to Scrapish.com, "Each yard of fabric should yield 14 (2 1/2 inch) strips. If you're using 2 1/2 inch jelly roll packs you will need at least 4 jelly rolls for the 'logs'. Each jelly roll is about 3 yards of fabric. This would be about 12 yards of fabric." Hope this helps!! -Michelle
