I know this is an older video but is the best one I’ve seen! I have that exact Santa panel and it’s been in my stash for years because of the squaring. I’m going to actually be able to get that one done now! Thank You 🎉
Hi Stephanie. I want to thank you so very much for this tutorial. I am making a quilt for my grandson and the dinosaur panel was off by 3.5”. I tried other methods and then followed you step by step and wha la!! It’s square enough to trim only a tidbit off. I am so grateful for your help as I was truly getting discouraged. Now I’m excited to proceed with the quilt. Thank you thank you thank you. Darci L
This is great. The panel I’m working with today is rectangular, but I’m applying your basic guidelines for the worst case scenario and little bit by little bit I am getting it squared up. Or rectangled up haha
I just had a light bulb moment! I watched a video by Jamie Whalen (sp?) Anyway, he showed how to put a wonky backing on the longarm. He rolled it back and forth several times until it wasn't wonky anymore. I have tried his method several times and it works every time! Now I understand why it worked because of your explanations. So, now my light bulb moment. I'm going to load my wonky panel onto the longarm and roll it back and forth and if I have to, I will lightly mist with water.
Amazing! I just tried this with a panel that was off by a good 4 inches. Had to pull and stretch about 3 times, then pressed and it’s perfect! Yeah! Thank you!!😘
It would be nice to see a sample of a rectangular panel - like the Call of the Wild one you started with and show how to stretch it out to square up. The rectangular panels don't make a triangle. Thanks from a beginner.
Sometimes the selvages are not straight so how can you use it if it's not straight??? I would go by the fold myself. Sometimes I will pull on the selvage to see if that helps it straighten.
I don't think you can iron on that cutting mat it would warp it. But I think her squaring up method makes better than most the other ones I've watched today. multiples
