    Thank you so much for all the tutorials, info and daily specials.  Although I live in a state far east of Missouri I believe there is a personal connection with MSQC through these tutorials.  Also calling for customer service and ordering is a breeze and the flat-rate shipping is a big money saver that allows us to have more for fabric!  If anyone is hesitating, MSQC is a great company with which to deal.

    • Sarah

      Thank you! 

  • Reet1113

    Help!  Where are all of Jenny’s tutorials.  I am not too thrilled with the way this is set up now.
    She had so many good tutorials and what I am seeing now is not impressive.

    I really miss the site that had ALL the tutorials on one screen!!  I’m looking for the one on making a pillowcase.  I have used it at least six times and should remember how, but I just always go back and watch the tutorial each time, now I can’t find it.  Put Pillowcase in the Search box, but it showed nothing.

    • shubeedoo

      Hi Rosalie, I miss that site too! Tutorials seem to be on YouTube and you can find the pillowcase one here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrYWCma9wgM. Hope that helps! Just finishing another quilt using Jenny’s wonderful tutorials! Thanks so much!

    Is there a tutorial on making a 5″ and a 10″ tumbler quilt, usingv the templates that I have ordered? 

  • Cindy

    Cindy
    Type in the tutorial you are looking for on Google, and they will show up on YouTube.  I typed in “apple core tutorial” and “tumbler quilt tutorial” and they both came up as the first or second selection on the screen.

  • Jluna

    What happened to the tutorials? I can’t find the how to bind tut. 

    • Sarah

    For the past two days, I have been trying to take advantage of the Daily Deals. Each time I try to access the site, I get the message/display on the page that Internet Explorer is unable to display the page. What gives? I just started using Missouri Star Quilt Company and I really like what you have to offer – I just want to be able to GET to it!!

    • Sarah

      I am sorry!  It has been quite frustrating, I Know. We are working like crazy to get this fixed.  Please call us so we can do a  phone order for you!  888 571 1122

  • B Tibbo

    I have been trying for two days to find out if my last order was processed. The system froze at the pint when I pressed complete order in the check out and everytime I try to check my account I receive a message that Internet Explorer can not be accessed. I am very frustrated as I really wanted to take advantage of the Daily Deal as well as the other items I had listed on my purchase.

      Hi Patricia, There are several tools you need. A rotary cutter, and a mat. A sewing machine, thread and scissors, and a ruler. You can quilt a lng time with just those things!
      Have a great day!

    You mentioned an portable iron board you made and said to look it up, but I cannot find it?

  • Alamogal1963

    I DID IT!!  I FINALLY DID IT!!  That binding tool is awesome!  I’ve had it about a year, and maybe I’m a bit slow (:o) but I just couldn’t get the hang of it.  So last weekend I watched the video (for the 5th time) and finally got the confidence to forge ahead again.  My binding fit absolutely perfect!  I’ll  never do a binding without it again.  Thank you SO much!

    • Sarah

      Yay!!  That is so great to hear!!  Glad you had success!!  The first time is always the hardest!!  :)  Have a great weekend!!

  • Joan

    I am looking for the tutorial for a refresher using the tumbler. Where might I find it? Love the tutorials!!

  • Socomt2

    I have been looking for the tutorial on using your machine stitches to make a wall-hanging–can’t seem to find it anymore–it was 59.99and then 25.00–do you still offer the class

    • Sarah

      We don’t actually sell classes online.  You may be talking about Craftsy.  I hope this helps.

    • Denise

      It is called stupendous stitching by Carol Waugh and is offered by craftsy.

  • Nataliechodges

    Where can you buy the binding tool in Australia

    • Sarah

      Not sure!  Though, you can buy it from us and have it shipped there!  :)  Good luck in your search! If I hear of any store that carries it there I will let you know!

  • Dodya

    Im looking for the scallip,vine tuterial for around a quilt.Sorry about spelling.Im sure you know what I mean. Thanks a lot.

  • Nstevens147

    Is there a tute on just the wave edge? 

  • Crtnybop

    Hi Jenny, I love your tutorials and your style. I attempted the self-binding receiving blanket and everything was great until I cut my ends for the mitered corners and the rest is history. I am not sure what went wrong. Is there something I can do to preserve this project?

      ## Jenny Doan replied, on Mar 15 @ 3:43am (UTC):

      That is the hardest part.  It is cut on a 90 degree angle.  You
      should pin first and turn and look to make sure you got it right.  I would turn it right side out and see if the corners can be saved.
      You could just top stitch them down.  Since i can’t see them I am
      not sure what to tell you.  You could also take apart the blanket and make a smaller one.  Good luck and I hope this helps.
      Have a great day!

    I enjoyed the table runner for Christmas with the half hex ruller. I bought tube rulers and I look forward to doing projects with them.

  • Janet-green262

    Hello I just wanted to let you all know that I love your tutorials I didn’t really try new things because I didn’t have the same access to fabrics (I used to live in England) that I do here. When I discovered that you created tutorials on the tools I had purchased but wasn’t sure how to use I tried to watch everything immediately. I have learned so much!!!! Thank you so much. I now have one project almost done and 10 more I intend to finish by the end of the year. I have made a Dresden Plate!!!OMG !!! I am a quilter and I love it.

    • Sarah

      Yay!! That is so exciting! I am so happy for you that you have completed your quilt and are working on more.  It is so wonderful to accomplish something like a dresden plate!!!  have fun and keep on quilting!!

  • Kel

    Just wondering if there are any other quilt patterns that you could use the large half hexy template on??????
    Thanks

      Enjoy! 

  • Pilgrimquilt1

    I wanted to purchase the Flip Flop template but couldn’t find any patterns to use and there was no tutorial.  What do you do with this template? 

  • Lucille

    where did the tutorial for XXes and OOs go?

  • Lhwiedenmann

    I can’t find the tutorial where Jenny uses the “count down to Christmas” jelly roll and makes two blocks. The second block is made from the cut corners of the first block. The second blocks can be made into pinwheels.

      I am working on a tutorial on how to use panels…It used to be that panels were made to cut apart and make blocks out of, but now they seem to be all inclusive and you are just supposed to border them and quilt them…It is easier, but a different mind set/

    • Grada Lamb

      I have the same issues, I have some great looking panels, but do not know what to do with them. In desperation I purchased EQ7 software, and I designed my own. Worked out ok. Since most of my panels were purchased on sale, the pattern that the company or designer did for it I am not able to purchase the fabric anymore. I hope that Jenny makes a tutorial soon like she promised, or maybe she can do it on her next crafts show. I just love that lady.

  • Geridietz

    Thank You because of your tutorials I’m making my first baby quilt for our first grandson.  I designed it with buying fabric and cutting them into charms size pieces.  but I had alot of problems, I did use a template, but my rotary cutter would not cut the fabric and it was just cotton fabric .  I used my regular sewing sissors to achieve my quilt pieces. I loe the eidea of buying my own fabric choices and cutting them to the size I need.  Can you advise of the best method for this because I will do this again.  Also there are so many marking pens available, and I think that is what I need to cut my pieces.

    Thank You

      Hi Geri, I am trying to think why your rotary cutter didn’t work.
      You have to be above it and press down, The blade must be sharp and
      it also must roll.  Check out those things.  I like the frixion
      pens.  When you iron them the writing disappears.  If you have to
      hand cut, i would think you are doing the best you can.  You might
      try cutting strips and then cutting them into blocks, but the best would be to get you rotary cutter working.  Maybe you could take it into your local quilt shop and have them help you…are you close to me? I will help.
      Have a great day!

    I hope this is the right place to ask, but I started the magic square quilt and tried to surround the layer cake piece with the jelly roll strip and there isn’t enough fabric in one strip to go right round, what am I doing wrong?

      ## Jenny Doan replied, on May 13 @ 4:40am (UTC):

      It takes 1 and 1/2 strips to cover the square. You just need 2 strips per square and then it will all work out! I hope this helps.
      Have a great day!

    If not mistaken, I saw a great quilt in black and white and possibly gray…a small pop of color too…I can’t remember if it were red or yellow.
    It looked like a quilt that I wuld really like…but now I can not find it on your posts.
    Did it disappear?

      I am having a hard time remembering what you are talking about.  Any more details??  

  • Lisa Moore

    Hello i love your tutorials with all these great ideas.  Quilting is new for me but i love it.  Where can i get jelly rolls and layer cakes to buy .

    thanks
    Lisa Moore

  • Blenndioces

    I need to see how you sew the backing,  please

    • Natalie

      Most of our backings have no seams as we like to use the 108-118″ backing fabrics. If they are pieced however, we usually piece them with a seam right down the middle making a backing large enough for the quilt top we are quilting. 

  • Anna Gray

    Hi there, I have just watch your free motion quilting video.  I did not think I could do this on my own machine (Pfaff 7550).  I am a novice quilter and attend a quilt class in my local town of Wallingford, Oxfordshire, England.  I am enjoying it so much, but it seems that USA has so many more ‘tools’ than I can get hold of here, so do you mail to england and what is an estimate price for shipping.  I have just downloaded your X’s and O’s quilt, I am going to try to make it for a future great grandchild. Love watching your videos, please keep them coming.  Thank-you, kind regards,  Anna Gray

    • Natalie

      Hi Anna,
      All you need to quilt on your own machine is a free motion presser foot, and the ability to drop your feed dogs. It should be possible on a Pfaff. To answer your next question, Yes! we do ship to England. If all of your items fit in a flat rate envelope your shipping will be $18.50, if not, actual shipping rates apply. Here is a link to our shipping page, hopefully this will answer all of your questions! http://www.missouriquiltco.com/shipping-handling/

    I am looking for the tutorial using jelly rolls and sewing in long strips and then sewing end to end etc.  Is there someplace where I could watch that again and how big of a quilt does one jelly roll make?  Thanks.

  • ZxyLady

    Thank You for the fabulous info and tutorials!! And Thank You for making longer, more in depth tutorials as well!! I literally cannot sew without listening to your tutorials on in the background while I sew! :-) I love shopping at your quilt shop- Online, as I live in Southern Washington State. I love watching your tutorials! I made my first quilt based entirely on your tutorials! For a woman like me, I have NO family or even friends that quilt, so your information is absolutely needed!! I have a request, I don’t know if you can do this or not, But I bought a template that I have no idea how to use… If there was a way to request info on how to use it, I would. I unfortunately cannot find anywhere online that has this Template’s instructions. The Template is: Simplicity Studio Simpli-EZ Double Wedding Ring Template by Darlene Zimmerman

  • pat smith

    how did you make that ironing board you use in your videos ?

  • Lynda Conklin

    Where did you get the pattern for the six point star that was used on your Christmas Tree runner?

    • Cpatch

      I just watched your Christmas Tree Tutorial and went to then of the “more” list, but I not see the pattern for the star. I must have missed something. I am very anxious to make one or more of these. I’d like to make one narrow enough to mount beside my front door with a couple of jingle bells at the end.
