I loved your felting video! I have had a felting machine since last year and haven’t tried it out yet. Now I can’t wait to start making these beautiful leaves! Thank you to Pieceful Quilting for connecting us with Nancy’s videos. I can hardly wait for the next one. Keep them coming, Nancy!

Sheryl Hoffman Says:
Just loved your video. Thank you Angie from Pieceful Quilting for hooking up with Nancy. I ran right out and bought roving, I already owned the brush and tool, just never used them. I have made about 40 leaves so far. I used my Accuquilt Go to cut them out with the Fall Medley die. They are perfect together, I can’t wait to piece the quilt and attach my leaves. What a great piece of art.

Thank you for the great instructional videos! I’ve been dying to try felting, but couldn’t figure out how to incorporate it into quilting — now I know! Looking forward to seeing you at Sew Expo in 2011!

Your tips and movies are helping me alot! I have a Baby Lock and am having problems with it., My small hoop the 4×4 when attached, is getting an error message that the hoop is not attached. I took it in for repairs on the error message. and the repairman said nothing is wrong with it. So I tried it again and am still getting the same message. So I bought a new 4×4 hoop and tried it and still get the same message. It’s driving me nuts! So now I have 2 useless 4×4 hoops

Your saturday morning show is one I never miss. I have it set to record if I am gone. You have always given me inspiration and now this. I know I can not get that great machine but will give hand felting a try. Love to quilt but have been in a mood that nothing could get me to the machine. Now thanks for the video; I am ready to start something again.

Enjoyed this video, Nancy. The felted leaves are so neat, it would be fun to have a machine like that. I would like to request the lighting to be brighter it was hard to see parts of the video. Looking forward to more.

Betty Cross Says:
Nancy, This is the first note I have sent to a TV personality. Just wanted you to know your program has been an inspiration for years.
The new programs are refreshing and seem to renew my desire to create. The TV videos have just enough info to get us started on new projects. I appreciate the quality. After spending a lot of money on some of the Baby Lock CD’s I was disappointed in the quality. The sound and clarity was extremely hard to follow. This one is wonderful.Thanks again for your inspiration.

Nancy, I have taped your tv program every week and saved all the tapes…..but now I will be able to just look them up on line and have easy access to the projects without a lot of searching and rewinding on the VHS tapes! Thank heavens and Nancy for embracing new technology and my Babylock dealer for sending me your feed.

Avid fan. I watch your show Saturday mornings and find the re-runs a good refresher. I have already signed up for your January class at Puyallup WA. I grew up sewing , doing hand embroidery and silk ribbon embroidery. And still love being creative. Now I have machine embroidery to help with projects. Love it!

Wow, how wonderful to have little “snippets” of sewing ideas. I always try to catch your Sewing with Nancy on PBS, but now if that is not possible I can still be a learned sewer. Thanks!

I love the falling leaves made with the roving. I have purchased some roving a few years back and haven’t used it. Now I am inspired. It is so realistic looking and attractive. Looks like fun too. Thank you for sharing.

Cathy Prwivo Says:
I love this technique, its beautiful !! I own three machines now, and although I would love to be able to use the technique demonstrated, I don’t think I would buy another machine to do just that. Thank you for introducing it.
