I liked that you pulled out a previously published book and sewed it with newer fabric. More videos with this content would be great!
I agree!
I agree as well. I know their job is to sell all new stuff but including some books from the past with new fabrics would be awesome.
I would love to see you continue to sew blocks with your published books. This shows us how to use newer fabrics on older patterns. Please stop apologizing for how “YOU” do things. Everyone does things differently. I starch everything now and I am getting very accurate results. Girl, I don’t know how you can get everything you’ve got going on done. Thanks for always showing us a different way to do things.
I’d like to see a tutorial on flange binding and also scalloped edges and how to apply binding on curves. Kimberly always makes things look easy.
And how to make piping and turn the corners with it.
Love that you showed a quilt from a book that is older with new fabrics. Usually, you make (or not) the quilt you bought the book for then it just goes on a shelf with all the others, never to be used again. Sometimes the fabric choice makes the quilt!
I think I learn more when there is a “mistake” made so we can see how to fix it. When things go perfectly all the time, you don’t learn as much. Thanks for pulling out this book and doing a demo with it.
I’d like to have a lesson on color theory, how to pull from your stash and coordinate colors. I love all your videos. Thank you for doing this for us❤
I would love to see more jelly roll, charm pack and layer cake quilts. Love everything you do!!!
I LOVE IT when you are picky about seams, squaring up, etc. LOL Keep it coming! I would also love to see more tips about mistakes & "fixing" them--we all make them, but many people have brilliant work arounds.
Watching you do the process of making a block from start to trim down is my happy place. Fabric choices for each block is always informative. Discussion of contrast between fabrics is helpful for most sewers. Thanks for all you do.
I don't have any ideas, just watch and learn, as every time you do a tutorial, I learn something new. Love the reunion quilt. I think I'll do a similar idea for a chemo quilt for my daughter with thoughts from individual family members.
I would love to see different ideas for edging on your quilts (such as prarie points, flange binding, scallops etc.)
I think that this has been one of my favorite sew with me video’s. I like that she talked about using what you have which has become my mantra as of late since my husband retired. I am finding that I am getting greater pleasure in my sewing when I don’t have to put out extremes amount of money to feel like I am getting the latest and greatest. It really takes the pressure off. Thank you for the ideas!
I would like to see Kimberly do quilting on her machine for small projects like tablerunners in her Sew with Me series !
Please continue to show more cutting episodes. Cutting I so important and where mistakes are made..I love watching you cut and learn so much each and every time. Also, even you make mistakes, at times. 💕
I would love a tour of Kimberly’s home focused on how she stores and displays her quilts. I’m getting to the point that I have so many that I don’t know what to do. I’d also love to learn how Tula Pink does her mini bolts. I think it would be fun to have a guess whose quilter this pet belongs too? Seems like quite a few have cats or gran-dogs 😂 I’d love to see Kimberley interview John from Art East about his sew alongs and planning. It would be fun to see Kimberley do one of those interviews where you are surrounded by cats 😂
I would love to see a Sew With Me video where you pull from your scraps and work on one of your scrappy projects. Most of the time you seem to always have coordinating fabrics. I have a huge bin of oddly shaped scraps and would love to see something with scraps!
Would love to see a new “my top 10 favorite/ must haves” videos. They are always so fun to watch, and there are always new items out there. And also a top ten tips! Thank you!! ❤️❤️
I don’t have anything specific that I want to learn. You typically teach me new methods that I didn’t know to ask. Thanks for all you do.
I would like to see more tutorials on mini-quilts; door hangers; banners, etc. that can be pieced...NOT appliqued. But thank you for all the tutorials you do! I always learn something new every time.
Kimberly, I like when you show us how to use your Half square triangles, flying geese and log cabin papers on a roll. What a great idea. All you do is wonderful for new quilters. That's me for sure. It's encouraging to see that the experts make mistakes too! You sure own your mistakes!
Love any ideas and tips. When you make mistakes it’s show us you are human too and not everyone is perfect.
I've watch so so many of Kimberly's vids and I STILL pick up new tips. Wow. Thanks, K!
I'd like to see more patterns that use a layer cake. When a fabric line comes out and I have no plans in place I tend to buy a layer cake of the new fabric. Then when I go to use it I seem to struggle finding good layer cake patterns. Thanks so much for all you do! Livestreams are always fabulous!
I look forward to your videos every week. Don't always get to watch on Fridays but catch up during the week and usually learn something new. It would be interesting to see how to sew different blocks, i.e., cat's cradle, and some other unique blocks.
I’d like to see more about resizing blocks from the original design.
Great video!! I love watching you demo a complete block, from start to finish. It’s very helpful. More videos with some of your previously published books and patterns with updated fabrics or techniques would be great. Sewing with precuts is always appreciated!! ❤
I just love everything you teach. I love that you encourage us to use what we have. I love what you taught today. You used a book that is a older book with new fabric. Love the cutting with length of fabric. That was amazing to see. I love watching you sew like this. I love learning how to do things that I certainly would not learn anywhere wElse. Thank you!
I like Kimberly using old books and using current fabrics. Also taking a pattern and making one block.
I, too,, would like to see a video on selecting colors for a block. Maybe have Kimberly share her "go to" blocks for a no-brainer quilt.
I enjoyed seeing how you used an older pattern and updated it with new fabrics
I really enjoy hearing Kimberly tips and techniques that she uses when putting together blocks and quilts. thank you for all the videos.
I am still a relatively new quilter....I love seeing an assortment of different quilts with different fabrics. Keep with videos coming! Thanks!
Scalloped edged quilts and bias binding would be a great thing to see. Thank you for all you and the FQS team do !
Thank for all you do Fat Quarter shop. I’d love to see more vintage quilts, reworked.
Bow tie blocks are cool. I just found 3 in a box of my grandma old fabrics. A nice surprise. She’s been gone for 30 years.
I’m loving your sew with me videos. I enjoy watching you sew the entire block and learn so much from your tips. Patterns that are precut friendly are always more fun.
I am loving the scrappy quilts you are doing. We get to see the blocks when you are done, but not the process of selecting which scraps go where, etc. I think a video where you walk us through your process would be great for those of us who struggle to sew scrappy.
I would love to see more things made from precuts. Doesn’t have to be just quilts. I love seeing your different methods. Better ways to do things, easy. ❤
I love watching your videos while I sew. I am sure I will learn something new no matter what your topic is, but I would like to see how you quilt projects using your sewing machine. Thanks Kimberly! 💕
I would like to see you and Lori pull out your scraps from home and create a project or quilt live !!!! How fun it would be to see what you guys come up with live😁🙃
I like to see things like bags, including adding a zipper, making different pillows from quilt blocks similar to the quilts we make. As well as, different and unusual quilt techniques such as cathedral window and Dresden plates.
I would like to see curved piecing., like the drunker's path or other curved quilt blocks demonstrated. Many people are scared of the curves and if they see Kimberly doing it they would be more inclined to try it. Thank you for all that you do for those of us watching!
It's fun to see Kimberly using the notions from the sew sampler boxes!
I enjoy all the videos. No matter what it is, even if it’s not something I am interested in, I learn something. I love Kimberly’s teaching style. Very non-threatening and always encouraging! Thank you for all you and FQS do including all the free patterns. I enjoy the sew alongs. I would like more on color theory especially when taking an older pattern and changing it to a newer fabric line. Keep up the good work!
FQS KZhead plus Jolly Jabber Blog are my go-to references when I need to know how. I have enjoyed the variety of pillows, quilts, blocks, panels, notions, guests, and so on. Thanks and keep ‘em coming
I would love to see a video that showed how to correct the top 5 mistakes that we are likely to make, but not notice until our blocks are put together… thank you for all you do!!!
I like it when you show us new products coming and when you show us what your staff has sewn and what fabrics and patterns they have used. It gives me ideas. I like to see how you deal with shrinkage on precuts, etc. I enjoy when you have designers on the show. It would be nice if the interviews could be live instead of on Zoom. Something is lost when the interviews are on Zoom. Thank you. Nice show today.
I’m enjoying these sew with me sessions. I like that you used an older pattern and all the hints and tips. Especially like the cutting by length for the borders. Keep it up. Thanks! ☺️🍁🤎🍂🧡
I would love to see different ways to bind a quilt, how to make different styles of borders ( scalloped, all squares, prairie, etc) and how to square up a big quilt. This was a great video - I want to try length of fabric borders now! Thank you, Kimberly and team!
I love seeing you put together a full block, with tips on how to iron it, etc. I'd be interested in seeing some smaller projects like table runners or pillows that seem more doable than a full quilt. :) Thank you!
I enjoyed the lesson on making washing with length of fabric. I have never had that information explained so well. Thank you.
The "Perfect 5" and "Perfect 10" rulers are my favorites!
Beautiful tutorial Kimberly! Your explanation of how you do things makes perfect sense and the trick with LOF verses WOF is very helpful. Since I am not an experienced quilter, I’d love to see more of your tips and tricks you’ve learned along the way! And appreciate any tool suggestions that makes the process go quicker and accurately!
I like the way your dod it now. You gave us hints on cutting that are very useful
I'd love to see more ideas for quilts without background fabric, like Jelly Roll Jam for example but more advanced? Thanks for all that you do! I know it is quite decadent to suggest even more free patterns when you are already so generous. ❤
Thank you so much for showing us how we can use a beautiful older pattern and make it shine again with newer fabric lines. I would love to see more tips on how to fix an oops with patterns and fabrics, plus how to put different designers together in a quilt based on colors, including the purples, browns, etc. (all the colors Kimberly usually doesn't like to sew with, but others of us do).
I’ve never seen this book before. I love that it’s spiral bound. Much easier to use. I love hearing all the little things you do to get the accurate blocks. I intend to incorporate these things into my quilting.
Would love to see more small projects like table runners, etc. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.
I would love to see squaring up a quilt after it’s quilted when it doesn’t have a border to measure from-that always stumps me. Great video today!
Me too. I bought the Christmas Snowman from Swell collection and just quilted it. Had a hard time squaring it up
I would like to see more jelly roll quilts. I also love the way you design a block and show us what to do with the new fabrics.
I love watching your videos. They are very informative. I would to see Kimberly continue to make blocks and show how to correct mistakes that occur
I would love to see ideas for smaller projects as well as how to choose solids that go along with older collections that are no longer available ❤
I would like to continue to see anything you want to show. You’re the perfect teacher ❤️❤️❤️
I agree! My quilting has improved SO much since I started watching Kimberly
I have found the sewing projects you have done in the past very interesting. I would be interested in seeing more small projects. Thank you for all you and your team puts together.
Kimberly, I watch everything you share with us. I always learn something new and useful. I would love to see a Cathedral Window block done on the machine as opposed by hand. Thank you for all that you share ❤️
Having guests talk about their new fabrics or quilts is a great way to promote you and them! Thanks for showing your process but always saying "you do it your way, this is what works for me".
I just love anything you teach us. Keep it up.
More showing us how to cut fabric and how to starch. I learn so much from you on how reduce my frustration by getting things cut correctly!
I would love to see tutorials about urban quilt blogs that would look good in a more modern house.
I would love to see some seasonal wall hangings that we could decorate with. It could be the 4 seasons rather than specific holidays. I enjoyed today’s video.
I really loved the pillows, small bags and other types of projects you did! I jump around a lot and enjoy other types of sewing that incorporates quilting as well. Your sewing is SO beautiful!!! I also, enjoyed your interviews with designers and other experts.
Love to watch you tutorials while sewing. Would like to see some small projects that can be given as gifts.
I love seeing all the different things you can do with precuts.
I dont actually care what you sew - Just cut and sew anything. I love watching and listening to all your tips and pointers. You may feel like you are repeating yourself, but each time you say things slightly differently and each time i take away a helpful hint.- today was about pressing the corner square triangles, when you said dont start your iron too far back when pressing - thats my new tip from today. Love watching. I even repeat watch. Thanks FQS
I would like to see demonstrations about quilting on a home sewing machine. I also really enjoy seeing a vintage quilt revamped with newer sewing techniques and fabrics available today.
I enjoyed the tip with gluing, something I have not seen before. Love this snickerdoodle block. It is easier than I thought. I think I will look for the book & try it.❤❤ Thanks ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love all the things you do! I watch religiously regardless of what you’re doing. Can you do more interviews with designers next year?
I would like to see Kimberly read through entire pattern and discuss how to interpret it and organize all supplies needed. Maybe it's a 2 or 3 part series. I still have difficulty visualizing all steps when reading it only without seeing it. Thank you FQS for all that you do!
I love watching you create, Kimberly!!!
I especially like when you have guests on the show…loved Luella Boutique, Lori Holt and Camille talk about their fabrics, their patterns, their upcoming designs.
Love to watch your tutorials. Smaller wall hangings and how to choose fabrics.
I like when you demonstrate blocks using precuts, the up- and downsides, as well as adjustments that can be made when mistakes happen. Thanks for all you do for us, Kimberly and FQS family.😊
You did an amazing job again Kimberly cutting so many squares in a such a short time. Was great to see how you cut a length of fabric. I always love all your broadcasts. Hard to say if anything is missing but more layer cake patterns that are a little more complex than simple would be great. Plus I love seeing scrappy. xx Karen
I love that you changed these video's to different things. I would like to see you do that cute bag last week.
I would like to see squaring up quilts and putting on the binding! I enjoy the Sew with Me series.
Hi! I’d like to see a sew with me where Kimberly makes a quilt with her scraps. Looking at her scrap boxes and figuring out what quilt she could make and then demonstrating the quilt.
I enjoy seeing demos of shorter projects - like this one today- using precuts
Thank you for the video! Don’t apologize for taking time off to be with your family. I use the Creative Grids Perfect 5 ruler more than any other ruler. It is just the right size for squaring up HSTs! I would like to see more of videos just like this. Taking older books and patterns and sew with current fabric lines. I also like using fabrics from my stash.
My newest endeavor is learning QAYG with tips for joining blocks and choosing an appropriate stitch design. I love your generosity and inspiration to strive and challenge each of us!
Thanks for teaching how to be consistent. Keep up the tips and tricks even if its repeated. More paper piecing!!!
Recently I have been ordering fabric more often. Between orders, and family projects I've been very busy. Even more I am grateful for the responsibly, and perfect packaging from your cutters, and shippers. My shipments always come in clean, folded, and bagged wonderfully. Besides giving a shout out to your crew, I am wondering if you can do a series of these great people, on what their interests are. If they sew or quilt maybe they can come on live or a video showing them cutting and piecing blocks for a crew quilt. Just a thought.
I love to watch you make your blocks from cutting to finish using all different methods. I just started using the precision glue and it is a game changer thanks to you!
I would like to see some small quilts for wall hangings! Always looking forward to Friday!! thanks Kimberly!
I also love your Sew with Me videos and like so many others, I have learned a lot! Maybe something on pressing your fabric right after starching? Mine sometimes gets a bit wavy in the location where the fabric was hanging on the rack. In addition, pressing seems to be where I will screw up a block. You are a very good teacher so anything you want to show us is much appreciated!!
I would love to see something that works an existing pattern with a precut - like where you take a fabric requirement and switch out a precut for part. I love everything you do tho and will always watch 😊
I love the 'Sew with Me' series. I learn so much!
I would love to see more classic and vintage patterns they are my favorite series you do!!!
Great video today. I also would love to see some small projects quilted on regular sewing machines. I know Kimberly doesn’t do this but maybe have a guest come do a couple videos? Love all you guys do! Thx 😊💕
I appreciate the cutting information. I find cutting so important and tips on that process is so helpful to me as a new quilter. Thanks Kimberly.
I would like to see more videos where you create the entire block and I like using an “old” pattern/book. Thanks you for all you do!
I love your tips for cutting and squaring up blocks! I like to learn how to put fabrics together from my stash. Also when you talk about low and med volume fabrics. I goes right over my head.
