Make an inexpensive quilt design wall using a picnic tablecloth. They are great for keeping your blocks aligned, even for patchwork! This tip is featured in Quilty Winter 2012 magazine.

Is there something wrong with the sound? Unable to hear Mrs. Fons.

Donna, yes, Marianne’s part was shot with consumer equipment. The editor tweaked the audio as much as he could. This is why we don’t like to use anything but professional equipment and people for videos here.

What’s up with the sound. I had the volume at 100% and could barely hear Marianne.

I just confirmed with the editor that that video – just the part with Marianne – was not professionally done. He did all he could to raise the volume up without distorting it.
This is why viewer-submitted video is a dicey thing. And why we usually shy away from it here.

I enjoyed this but had no volume . I checkedon my computer and on screen but no volume. I have noticed this with quilting videos maybe because women are soft spoken but put an action video on and it blasts on out of the room .

I’m grateful for the subtitles, because I couldn’t hear it at all.
Thank you,

Great tip. I used an old roller shade and attached my piece of flannel backed tablecloth. Now when I need it, I just pull down the shade!!! Really easy to use…
