Product placement

Hometown Quilt Co (a) ACTS — the video is filmed at their retreat, the creator is the owner, and the video demonstrates the community and services they provide. Removing it would change the context of the video as it is a branded retreat. Singer (a) ACTS — the sewing machine is operated to create the quilt. Removing it would change the video as it is the tool used for the project.

Transcript

All right Lex, the first thing you're going to do is take the thing off, open it all the way up, keep all your fabric together just like it is. But open it up so that it's flat. Okay. All right. Now, you're going to pick up the first piece and cut it in half. You're just going to cut it at the where that fold is. Okay, let me have half of it. Okay, now, you're going to start there and you're going to sew all of these strips end to end or wherever the end is. You're going to sew them end to end to end to end until you have one really, really, really, really, really long strip, okay? Okay. This will be my very first time. Oh, that's it's. Oh, I hope they don't have holes in them. You're not leaving until this quilt is finished. Let me help you. Okay girls, Lex just made her very first jelly roll quilt. She's done. Finished. Let's see. Oh, it's nice. Oh, that did turn out good. Is that Tilda? It is. And she's got some yardage we got today that we'll put a border to on it tomorrow. That is beautiful, Lexie. Lexie, that is so pretty. It's Tilda, but I don't remember what the name of it was. Say it again. Songbird. Was it the floral shop?
