I appreciate that you did not rush through this process in order to make a shorter video. Very helpful!

You are a great instructor - you speak slowly, have an easy voice to listen to and your instructions are clear & precise. Thank you so much. I can't wait to try this method. Look forward to more of your tutorials! Fran

Fabulous! No waste, no special ruler(s) to buy, no need to measure/square up after sewing, AND gives us the numbers needed to make ANY size flying geese. You did a great job on walking us through each detailed step (including important details like setting your seams and using a starter scrap of fabric before sewing those bias seams); thank you so much. LOVE IT!

OMGOODNESS, I really love this technique...perfect for a beginner to quitting. Thank you for sharing.

This is the smartest way to make Flying Geese units that I have found! Thank you so much for sharing!

Great technique. I saved this a few years ago and glad I did. It is still the best way and best explanation.

I appreciate how clearly you explain how to figure out the length. Thank you.

This lady is a good teacher, easy to listen to and clear methods to what she is doing! Didn't have to "rewind" even once. Thanks so much

GREAT method and no waste and no need to "trim-to-size" afterwards! MANY thanks for this video and your math explanation of how we can customize to any size! ❤

Thank you for including the math to make any size geese. Great instructions.

I love this tutorial....have seen it in your magazine and this just makes it even easier to see happen. The math is so easy...thank you!

Fabulous! I can't stand how most "quick" methods waste so much fabric. This is an excellent method!

Were you a mathematician or an engineer? Or a magician maybe? That is awesome! I can never get those little pieces accurate on flying geese. Im betting i can do it this way! Thank you a hundred times 😙

Great tutorial, I will be doing this from now for my flying geese units. And your demonstration was so spot on. Love that I was able to hear you and understand everything you said. Those of us that are a little hard of earing truly appreciate a clear voice. Thank you

great for beginners & it's done so neatly! will think of using this method.

What a super demonstration. Thank you for explaining the process so clearly. I will be trying this method tomorrow 👍

WOW...Love this technique.....matter of factly, I just received my new McCall Quilting book this week......Will have to use this block ....love it... Thanks Ken Orlando, Fl.

Wow everyone should be teaching flying geese this way ! Definitely going to use this method. Thank you

I enjoyed watching your simple and no waste flying geese. Thank you, very much. Am looking forward to watching more tutorials by you. Thanks again.

the fabric is wonderful!

Genius!! Perfect, no gimmicky rulers, no wasted fabric, fast and accurate!! Brilliant and executed wonderfully!! One thing though; the only thing I would like about being in the room you are in is the Bernina machine, what a totally boring room to quilt in..I hope McCalls figures something out for you dear!

That was a wonderful tip that I will try. I like expensive thread and hate to waste it. I am on such a low budget!

Thank you. That is amazing. I think I just found a new favourite way to make flying geese. I do hate wasting fabric, So this looks like an efficient way to avoid the waste that's usually associated with making these blocks.

Glad you enjoyed it! The September/October 2013 issue of McCall's Quilting features the scrap-friendly Gosling-Go-Round lap quilt pattern.

i love your method of doing this although I do have ruler that will help me! but yours is very clear concise instructions! you are a great teacher as well.

This is so great, thank you very much for sharing this technique

Such a good video...love your soft spoken instructions...very easy to follow...gonna try this!

This looks like such an easy way to sew flying geese. I'm searching now for a quilt pattern to use them in. Thanks for a great tutorial!

Terrific tutorial and instruction! Excellent teacher

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Great video.

enjoyed your instructions, also picked up using the piece of fabric in the sewing machine to facilitate the start of each sewing piece of the quilt.

Finally I think I can do these ! Thank you

Thankyou for this tutorial, very easy to follow and beautifully presented, I shall give it a try now.

I love it ,this is so simple! Thank you for great instruction!

I love this. I have not been able to make great flying geese. Thank you

Wonderful!! Thank you sooo much for giving measurement instructions!! Ive search you tube and you explanation and method are THE BEST!!! Specially for a beginner like me !! :)

I am so happy to have found this method. My fears r gone for a beginner. 🙏 Thx.

Lovely, I love the method because no waste

Thank you so much. Clear and concise with perfect piecing. I am now confident to try it

Thanks for the instructions. I’ve done this before, but didn’t know how to do the math to repeat in different sizes. Got notes and have saved your written info. Thank you so much! Ditto on your voice and style :-)

Wonderfully done instructional video, thanks!

No more fear of those buggers anymore. What a genius way to make them. Thanks so much. K

Thanks for a great video. It's great to discover tips and tricks for sewing.

Really excellent tutorial!

this is a fantastic method. Thankyou so much for sharing

wonderful. I can't wait to try it.

Melhor explicação ate o dia de hoje em flying geese até o dia de hoje maravilha....

En estos dias que estamos de cuarentena la costura ayuda a entretenerse mientras que termina esta pesadilla. Saludos y bendiciones quilters everywhere blessings

Thanks for the nice clear tutorial

Very easy video. I enjoyed your instruction. Thank you.

Great method - works a treat.

I have been using this method since I first saw it in McCalls quilting, and you were kind enough to answer my email, asking how to figure out other sizes

Thank you, that was easy to follow.

Cant wait to try this!!

Excelent idea ! Thanks 😍

Hi Lori, Thanks for your suggestion! We've added a printable cheat-sheet on our web page - please click the link in description above, then click on the No-Waste Flying Geese block icon to find the download.

You make it easy! Thanks!

THIS IS AWSOME!!!! THANKS

Muy bonita y mas rapida esta tecnica gracias

This is my favorite!

Fantastic. I wish I could find the fabric you're using (I'm in U.K.)

BRILLIANT!!

I hate flying geese. If a quilt had them, I would pass it up, or swap out the block with something I liked. Thank you for making a video easy to understand, I am hearing impaired and this was easy for me to follow! thank you!

Really enjoyed.

Great technique! Don't care for working with triangles. I am now super excited about getting started on my next quilt

Excelente. Me gusta. Muchas gracias.

Brilliant! Thank you:)

Awesome tutorial!! I have 3 inch squares that I would like to make into the small triangles. How big should the big square be?

Great video👍

Great tutorial this method makes accurate flying geese and leaves little wasted fabric. Just curious what foot you are using on your sewing machine?

Love it!

It's commonly referred to as a "thread-saver". Less thread is used during piecing compared to pulling out a length of top & bobbin thread to snip at the end of every seam. Leading edges, especially points, are not "eaten" (pushed into the needle plate hole) by the machine if a wide (zig-zag) needle plate is in place. Lastly, the stitching at the beginning and end of every patchwork seam can be neatly trimmed for perfect, lie-flat stitches (no thread nests). Give it a try and see what you think!

I have been using these "start/stop" thread savers for awhile now. They also make for less jams in my featherweight sewing machine if the thread ends aren't held as I start sewing. They have been a time saver as well as thread saver.

What a great technique! Do you have this printed out as a tutorial sheet anywhere? I'd love to add it to my "Quilting Tips" binder

brilliant!

This is so awesome, I really wish I had remembered this tutorial before I fought my way through making (and unmaking then remaking) what felt like a hundred of these stupid things lol

This is great! Thanks for sharing this with us! :-) It's the best method I've seen yet. I think I might even give it a go.

Thank you . May the Immaculate Heart of Mary reward you.

Thank you very, very much!😊

Perfect!

great tutorial!

How come others don’t do this way, and they waste so much fabric. This is crazy but I love it. Thanks so much

Love it

Just love this way you have done flying geese. I have a bunch of 5 " squares which Id love to use . Can you please tell me what size should i cut the small square.? Thank you in advance and look foward to your reply to start on my project

This website has a cutting chart for what size squares to use for this method: www.thespruce.com/flying-geese-cutting-chart-assembly-options-2821434

I just started this same method which I got from You. I like this method very much and has no waste in it, except that the size of the small triangles are 4 inch square. It's hard to measure the 3 7/8". My question is , do you have to square the blocks before sewing the 4 blocks together or just work around it? I find it hard to make them exactly all the same size. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Great!

you can clip the centre tip of each small square so they don't overlap

Could you help me? If I have 5" squares for my big square how big should my little squares be?

Thank you nice video.

Help! I accidentally cut a zillion extra white-on-white 2 1/2" squares. What size should the large squares be?

@deniseinman393

+Renda Weidler The answer is 4 1/2". To get there: the finish size of the smaller squares are 7/8" less than the cut size - So that is a finished size of 1 5/8" (2 4/8 - 7/8). Flying Geese are in a finished ratio of 1 to 2. That means the finished size of the long side of the block is 3 1/4" (2 * 1 5/8). To get the cut size of the long side you add 1 1/4" - giving you 4 1/2" (3 1/4" + 1 1/4")

Great

Hi, Im new to sewing, I was just wondering, why do you use that bit of scrap material at the beginning and the end of sewing? Thank you

How many 12" blocks are needed for a finished quilt?

Lovely :) Thank You !

Very kool

❤❤❤

That you very much appritiated :)

Love this!!! Thank you!! I HATE waste! who needs more scraps???

❤❤❤❤❤ TFS

IS THERE A PLACE WHERE DIAGRAMS FOR THIS METHOD CAN BE FOUND?

would love to see a flying goose block finished with a 3/8 inch (above point/sky top) rather than 1/4 inch OR a squaring up flying goose, dedicated ruler that gives the 3/8in at top...OR measurements and method to accomplish a 3/8 in seam to give an options on how close you want the point & sky to be from the actual seam sewing line.
