Thank you. How lovely to see sisters sharing their intert in quilting

I would use this method for curved templates, but straight-edged templates are better just made from paper, taped to the underside of a straight-edged quilting ruler and then use the acrylic ruler edge to cut from fabric with rotary cutter. Much more accurate! Thanks for posting this video, Fons sisters. :-)

You can make templates by using old X rays. I went by a local hospital asking for old X rays that they usually discard and received about a dozen to make templates. Also, I take typing paper, glue to the smooth side of sand paper and cut them out with dull scissors. The sand paper laid against the fabric will prevent the template from slipping.

Melinda Gibson after a person passes away there is a specific time period for keeping medical records, after that time they are destroyed.

Even if am am dead I do not want anyone looking at my xrays, especially when I the patient am not shown them.

I see some comments below complaining about "too much talking" but after watching it myself I disagreed. I thought it was just fine, it included all the information about tools one will need, and answers many questions that beginning sewists will come up with. A solid, helpful video.

I know this was filmed almost 10 years ago but I just love you both and how fun you make all of this. I'd love to hang out with you both and quilt!

you could trace the template onto the fabric, then lay down the ruler and cut with a rotary. Personally, I don't mind so much talking. I do mind cutting a template out of the middle of the plastic, or cutting the shape out of the middle of the fabric. That's something I taught my child not to do when she was about 5 years old.

Fabulous tip, Thankyou so much ladies

Thank you ! This was amazing just what I needed to know.

Great video ladies...I am always open to new ideas and suggestions...!!!

This has been helpful. I have an old book that uses templates in the pattern. This is perfect now I have a simple way to make the templates. I was worried about card stock or thin cardboard templates lasting. TFS :-) !

Wow, women can be so “catty” with their comments, meow 🐱. How about take into account it’s two sisters sharing an interest and spending time together, sheesh! I’m a beginner and enjoyed it😊

I know - it was like some high school 'mean girls' decided to watch and belittle for amusement.

VERY HELPFUL. THANK YOU GIRLS SO MUCH. I LOVE IT.

Glad to meet your sister.

Where u get that blue stencils???

MYLAR is heat resistant so you can iron on it.... the stuff they are showing is NOT .... will melt with heat. I use the MYLAR template plastic for applique pieces.

Hi ladies. Do you have a tutorial on how to design your own stencil (the image part) that fits my pattern, before I get to the trace and cut plastic part? Thanks.

Thanks for sharing.

Did you quilt your memories quilt on a long arm? It is beautiful!

Where can u buy the blue stencil at?

Thank you ♥️

I want to make a DIY template for a dresden plate , If I make a 5 inch dresden plate template do I have to add the 1/4 seam allowance to it to make it 5 inches after being sewn??

Where do you quilt your quilts at without taking them to pay a quilting shop to do it Mary?

My name is Mary and my sister's name is Rebecca!!

Hello where u get the blue stencils?????

Wowwwwwww👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌

Yes, I feel so bad for my friend who's on a sick leave caused by her mental health quilting is helping her, but certain people at quilt meet up makes her feel bad cause she doesn't have the expensive pins etc

amazing contents friend

what has the arrows for?

@stlkeeler

They indicate the way to put the template on the fabric. The arrow matches the grain of the fabric.

Good idea

why not use the rotary cutter and cut out more than one at a time and don't do the tracing pencil

Because most of the time you wouldn't have straight lines on specialty templates. They are usually circular or semi-circular in part. I'm sure if it's a smaller triangle like one that they made you could do that.

@kathleenmayhorne3183

You would need a thicker acrylic ruler with your rotary cutter, that template plastic is not that durable.

This video is ideal if you have a book to take a pattern as a model but does not help if you don’t have the book???

More Fons video please

Your links do bot seem to work?

Search for blue stencil film on the internet. Dickblick.com has it.

You could have utilized the template plastic for both pieces. A little wasteful, for one template.

Y'all are to critical. The video is great. If you don't have something nice to say, keep it to yourself.

too much talking I just want to learn howto make a template!

tried watching this but "ONCE AGAIN" too much talking.

Diane Hibble So me a KZread video that doesn't take 15 minutes to talk about something that should only take 2 minutes to share.

Don't need 11 mins to learn how to make a template. I watched but it was too long. It's like you both knew this was a 2 to 3 min video and you filled it with extra chatter. Learned how to quilt with your mom when she was on T.V. All the best

That’s not a shitty comment. It’s the truth, truth isn’t shitty. I thought this was waaayyyy overdone! Like your audience are preschoolers??? This was too dumbed down foranyone who knows how to operate a sewing machine. Sorry, tmho.

This is not: how to make your own - this is: how to copy

INVEST IN A STEADY CAM!!! Horrible video shake!!!!

Way too much useless chatter.
