From thejaxcollection are two great videos explaining how to do Traditional English Hexagon Patchwork created by Jackie Wills.

There are other videos by thejaxcollection worth checking out, including Part 3 that shows how to remove the paper backings from the hexagons.

I’m resurecting an old post of mine, Magical Machine Quilting, as the video has recently become available again for viewing. It is the BEST video I’ve found for Machine Quilting. My sister and her family gave me the book for Christmas last year, and I love it.

So, grab yourself a cup of tea or coffee and enjoy. It’s a long video but worth it, in my opinion. Let me know what you think.

In case you’re wondering, I found this on Quilter’s TV, which has some awesome free programming. Be sure to check out anything by Billie Lauder or Joanne Middleton, they are fantastic. I actually orderd the Tiger Tape from Billie’s store, as I was unable to find it up here. I’m hoping to attend her lecture in Nashville, but that’s a story for another post.

I came across these three video tutorials created by Sharon Schamber where she shows using Elmer’s School Glue for attaching binding to a quilt. It sure looks easy when she does it. Yesterday afternoon, I picked up some of the glue, we’ll see how well this works out.

Part 3:

Elisa Wilson takes a look at a few troublesome bindings and find solutions to fix the problems. Sew your binding on by machine from start to finish.

Here’s a wonderful video with Brenda Henning showing how to make a Mariner’s Compass with paper piecing. I can’t wait to try this … I have my fabric picked out already.

The free Mariner’s Compass pattern is available from Brenda’s web site, Bear Paw Productions.

My sister and her family got me the book for Christmas. I’m looking forward to trying out the various examples. Order the book - Magical Machine Quilting & Embellishment II

While trying to solve a Binding mess I created yesterday, I found some useful tips and techniques.

• Continuous Quilt-Binding
• Ending Double-fold binding

Here’s a good video from All People Quilt.

Not exactly quilting, but I liked these Clover videos.

A great overview on finishing a quilt includes: adding borders, batting, pin basting, machine quilting with a walking foot, free-motion quilting and binding.
