Your're so good at the technical details of sewing, which make such a difference when we understand what we've been doing wrong. Thank you for sharing your gifts!
Well, you said slow down and that’s what I did to see this. An incredible tutorial ! Make more tutorials on the basics. I think the great material makes the visual part so enticing. As a retired high school science teacher I would give you an A+ on this video! 😊
I Love This video, I have been quilting for 50 years, and I still learned 3 new things from watching your video, 1. Leaving the fabric to cool after ironing it, so you don't put the wrinkles back in (brilliant), 2. A better way to sew strips sets (shortening the stitch length), and 3. A wonderful new pattern ( I Love It). Thank You for sharing Your Time, and Your Talent with all of us. I always enjoy your videos. It's always a good day when you learn something new, Thank You.

Me too. But I get everything on sale, or with a coupon. It helps. Then I give the darn thing away! lol I always check out the Daily Deal at Missouri Star Quilt Company, and the Flash Sale at Fat Quarter Shop. I go to store sales, and peruse clearance racks. It is fun!!!

I have been hooked since 2013! Haha! I am loving every minute of it! Since December of 2019 I have been working in a local family owned family Quilt shop that is a Bernina Dealer! It’s like working in a candy store almost! LOL! I am studying and taking courses to become a certified Bernina Saleswoman.
Hi Rob, I use a 5lb dumbbell to hold my ruler down on long cuts, it works great! I learned this from Donna Jordan, my other fav!!! When my bird joins me in my sewing room he perches on the dumbbell and watches me if he's not trying to supervise! 😂

This way of sewing those strips together is great because of the fabric saved. It might not be much but sometimes you on,y need a little extra. I have never heard anyone say to shorten the stitch length when sewing strips and I have been quilting for years . Thanks 😊
Thank you for taking your time and slowed down for those of us that move at a slower pace. xoxo
Rob, I love it when you explain what happened and how to adjust when things don't go perfectly. It give me a chance to learn how I made the same mistakes. Thanks for the tutorial and making quilting more fun! Happy Quilting!
New quilter here! When I saw your project at first...I thought can never putt that quilt together! You made it so simple and fun. Thank you so much and will watch it often to get things down and make my quilt!!! Yea yea yea!!!
Excellent teaching.
Love, love, love this lesson. And I can't wait to make the design.
Thank you another project for me. Love it.
Lol, listening to Christmas music, drinking tea and eating chocolate! Always great.
I have had more cutting success once I started putting a 5 pound weight on the end of my ruler.

DUDE! My mind is blown!! I cannot believe that is a strip quilt!. Wow! This has opened my brain to a whole new way of designing easy quilts using fabrics I have that I could not figure out what to do with. This is AMAZING! Thanks, Rob!! You rock, as always :)
Resting the fabric...I never thought of that but what a great idea. By The Way, I wash all my fabric first, just a preference of mine.

Awesome tutorial! Love all the tips! Thank you!
Beautiful, I will try making it. Thank you for sharing.
Wow! You make it fun. I just started quilting and working on a sampler pattern. So many things I have done wrong and grateful I have come across this video. Thank you Rob.
This was brilliant!! Solved 3 of my problems right here thank you!!
Learned a bunch and you validated a few things I already do as a beginner! You’re awesome!
I am so thrilled about what you shared. New quilter who's head explodes when I see all the complicated designs. I will use this as my next and only my third quilt. Great presentation!
Brilliant ! Amazing !
I LOVE that quilt behind you
Great video. Great lesson... One of your best
Love to watching you make this beautiful square
So glad you are back Rob, I enjoy your tutorials ,I love the design the strips have created.Iooking forward to seeing more of your designs,
Thanks Rob. Great tutorial. Love them all, have been watching you since you were Man Sewing
Thank you Rob! I needed to know all this! I use a heavy antique iron set on the end of my ruler to help it not move.
WOW! Love it. You're such a Great teacher. Thanks so much.
THANK YOU SO MUCH ROB. GREAT TEACHING TOOLS YOU GIVE US.
These are very helpful cutting tips!
Excellent tutorial on cutting!
I watch Jordon fabrics and she uses a weight on the end of her ruler because she is short that is a good solution for putting weight on the end. Love your videos glad to see you slow down.

Good job Rob. That pattern is cool.

I'm glad you mentioned pre-washing. Many people don't but it is part of my fabric prep. Thanks for an informative video.
Fantastic design and idea. Thank you.
GREAT instructional! Thank you, I really needed all those extra learning tips.
Great video. Thanks Rob!

Thank you on the tips for ironing and cutting you helped me a lot.
Rob..... thank you again for being YOU and teaching a lesson or 10 also!! Luv MM Fabrics now because of you
Thanks Rob such a wonderful pattern ....God bless ...
Great video. Love the concept....
Loved the quilt/ cutting/ sewing techniques. You're a humorous fun guy that helps make our quilting lives more manageable. Till the next one..TaTa
Love your advice to slow down, rushing and messing something up is one of my biggest problems
Thank you so much for sharing.
A 48” steel straight edge from Lowe’s or HD to keep your strips straight when ironing….works great 😊
Amazing idea
Wow!!! I learned so much in this video - thank you Rob . I’ve made many very beautiful quilts for 7-8 years now , and your teachings definitely got my attention . Thank you ! Will always follow you !
❤❤❤❤thanks for all your great work.
Amazing. You are indeed Talented! Enjoyed Class! Beautiful Block!
Brilliant, I’ve really enjoyed watching and learning, you’re a great teacher. 🇬🇧

This was great. Can’t wait to try it!
How cool for you that you got this Michael Miller gig! I love MM fabrics and your vids as well!
Awesome video, thank you! Love the resulting pattern. So glad to finally hear and see someone who admits the problem of strip sewing by sewing up and down. I've struggled with that method, especially when it leaves me just that little bit short. Sticking with what works for me, which is how you sewed your strips together. Thank you, Rob.
Great video! Fun to listen to.
Loved your show! I always enjoy learning something new, your a great teacher.
