Great tute! Yes, it is very clear.

I've never done a chenille effect, so here comes a newbie question: How do you make sure that you cut only the layers you want to cut?

Thanks!

The shifting issue might not be so bad if you sew one row in one direction, and the next row sew back the other way. I do this when I'm piecing long strips and it seems to help things stay more even.
I stitched it up one row and down the other, but with six layers over 42 inches square, I got about a 2 inch shift. If yours doesn't shift as much, great, just something to plan for 'just in case" :)
The lesson basically is this: Don't put your design all the way to the edge, give yourself some wiggle room!

You start the clip from the edge and only cut the layers you want. The slash cutter has a leading edge before the blade to keep the cutter riding on the right layer. With scissors, you just have to go slow and be careful!

Thanks! Yes, I can see that in my mind now!

I love it. I will have to try this out on my next baby quilt. Or even one for me.

The insertion of the heart is neat!

Another idea that I saw one done a few years ago at my LQS ... they layered quilt panels. When fluffed you had such a pretty design within the soft chenille.
