I tested 7 quilt as you go methods (QAYG) to find the perfect no hand sewing method! I’ve recorded a mini tutorial for each method as well as given my thoughts and suggestions for when to use each method.
I’ve included quilt as you go methods with no sashing as well as quilt as you go methods using joining strips and sashing.
These tutorials are about how to join your blocks or sections of your quilt in a quilt as you go method, not how to do the actual quilting designs.

I just started investigating all the methods and the other day did trials with 2 of them. Today I find this video and VIOLA, I don't have to spend 20 hours doing anymore trials as you have done them for me! Instead I get to watch an hour video. You are awesome. Thank you for taking the time to do this for us. Regarding your concern of not joining the batting: Is if because you afraid it will shrink away or roll up? I know we have been taught to cut the batting bigger but that's before it is quilted to allow for shrinkage during that process. In this case, your batting is already quilted up to an inch or so of the final seam, so even though each block's batting isn't joined to any other block's batting, it has no where to because it is stitch down near by, so it will stay right where it is and all will be well. That part I promise :) Thank you again for all the time you took to do this.

@ScrapFabricLove 2 года назад

Ah that makes sense yes - I suppose I was worried it would look like little gaps in the batting but it doesn’t so I shouldn’t have worried! Glad the video was useful for you!!

You can do the sashing strip method but on the back. Your fronts are joined then the sashing goes onto the back. On the front it looks like you have quilting lines either side of the seam.

@ScrapFabricLove 2 года назад

I think I did consider that one but adding the strips seemed more fiddly to me than folding the backing over. Essentially the same thing though I think? I’m always looking for the easiest way 😂

I did that a few years ago for my parents. They were wanting a king short for their RV and I made up my own pattern. I used the hand sewing on the back method. I don’t remember what it is called. I believe I saw it from the Gourmet Quilter. Elmers school glue was a finger saver. I glued the seams down so I didn’t have pins. It did get extremely heavy on the borders. I sew on a table and that helped for the weight to the left but I needed more room behind.

@ScrapFabricLove 2 года назад

Sounds like a labour of love!

@MelanieCravens 2 года назад

Have you tried a quilted mattress pad in place of quilt batting? It's thin, light weight, easy to work with, and very warm! It is honestly my favorite quilt filling. Flannel works nicely as batting in a baby quilt, as does fleece, especially if you want a bit more loft to it.

@ScrapFabricLove 2 года назад

No never tried that - thanks for the tip!

Thank you for your sampling work regarding quilt block joining.

@smmta1817 Год назад

So I did what you did and tried all 7 methods to determine which I was most comfortable with and could get most accurate. A couple of things I discovered. Using good quality lower loft batting 100% cotton or 80/20 eliminates the issues around bulk I saw in your examples. Using batting seam/joining tape at the back was really useful to eliminate bulk and prevent hand sewing. For the joining strip method it was easier for me to use a bias tape maker to make 1” strips and joint at the back instead of the front. Thanks for this combination video. Very useful. And making sample blocks as you did before tackling my full projects is my new way to go

@smmta1817 Год назад

For my full quilt I cut multiple 2” WOF strips and made lengths of 1” bias tape then wound it unto an old large bobbin so I had it on a roll at the ready to cut as I progressed my project

Great idea! Glad you found a way that works for you!

@suzisaintjames 6 месяцев назад

I just watched Angela Walters QAYG video. The way she trims her blocks, the batting perfectly(?) meets after you stitch the first seam. In some other methods you trim the batting after you sew the seam. I believe the reason she doesn't baste the batting together or use batting seam tape is because she quilts over the join and she so densely quilts over the join that this heavy quilting won't allow the batting to gap. She just doesn't need it in this case. If my quilting was further apart, I'd probably take the extra step and join my batting as well. I also use a very high loft polyester batting and it doesn't like to lay flat, so another reason I would join the batting. If you use the sashing method, you don't quilt over the join, so I would definitely baste or use batting tape to keep the batting in place. Here's another reason Angela might not join her batting, her block join is right over the batting join. The seam allowances for the block join will cover any tiny gaps. Whilst the sashing method's join is on either side of the batting join, any gap in the batting might be more noticable, so physically joining the batting in the sashing method would be more important. Sending lots of love 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵. Take care of yourself and each other 😷.

Thanks for the comparisons. I need to add to the sides of my queen size quilts to make them wide enough for the new king size bed so been researching quilt as you go to add these sides. This video did a great job of pulling together the many options. I prefer the no sashing methods but it may depend on whether I can find fabric that blends with the original quilt without needing a transition. Binding strips could make that transition work.

@cathynuytten798 Год назад

I’ve been using the Fun and Done method for connecting my quilt blocks ever since I started quilting about 5 or 6 years ago. It can accommodate any size quilt block. I’m currently working on a queen size quilt that has 21 inch squares. I was able to quilt each square pretty easily. I always have my batting and backing fabric cut larger than I need to account for shrinkage while quilting. Then I trim off the batting the size of the quilt block and trim the backing fabric to one inch on all sides of the quilt square. Then I sew back to back as you do. I work in rows. It just seems easier. When all rows are sewn together you can add boarders in the same way. When you are all finished cut off the one inch of backing fabric all around the quilt. It is then ready to bind your usual way. My next quilt will be 8 1/2 inch squares. I think I will cut the backing 3/4 of an inch instead of 1 inch to make a more narrow self binding. I don’t think you could go any smaller that 3/4 of an inch.

Fab that you’ve found a method that works for you. That can take more time than the actual quilting sometimes!

@pamstrong8709 2 года назад

Thank you for this terrific demo! QAYG is my preferred method for the child-size quilts that I make and donate. All your blocks seem to have the backing already attached, which I admit didn't occur to me. I attached batting and quilted each block (only two layers), attached the sashing strip to the right edge of each, as you did, then attached the next block to the sashing. The backing will go on as a single piece when all the blocks are attached. Not sure how it will come out, but it is definitely easier than struggling with a huge quilt under the arm of my home machine!

@ScrapFabricLove 2 года назад

One of the methods did add the backing on after. It works well but for some quilts even doing that much is too big to go through the machine which is why some people try the other methods too. Good luck with yours!

@Mickey-jn8hz Год назад

I love your work and your methods. I have progressed a bit from when I started.

@sewforlife5728 2 года назад

I been working on this same dilemma. If I may make a suggestion and it is what I have found in doing quilt as u go, polyfil batting seems to suck for quilt as u go..lol it's bulky and your pieces don't lay right. When I switch to natural cotton everything became easier. It's not as spongey and it looks cleaner. It's thinner but we're making a quilt not a comforter so we aren't really looking or need that bulk. I know it's more expensive but on those special quilts I think it's worth it and for a bed quilt it's way warmer.😉 I ended up using the method where u sew your quilt top pieces together north to south, then I sew the backing by the machine with stitch in the ditch. Then join my rows west to east. If that makes any sense..lol basically doing what u decided to do in the end. I trim my batting pieces so they were flush so you get a clean transition from row to row as you add them. But that's my 10cents worth...lol 😊

@ScrapFabricLove 2 года назад

Thanks! And yes I normally use cotton batting but as the large quilt I ended up doing in 4 long columns so I bought the poly batting as it was on a roll that was a width that suited the columns 😂. It is a heavy quilt but my husband loves it more than the others I’ve done because it is more like a comforter 🤣. Thanks for the tips! With smaller projects I definitely like the false back way you described but for the queen size one it just wouldn’t work unfortunately!

@AnitaSouthall 2 года назад

Great show and tell discussion. A few points I will add. 1. For multiple uses I love my 1/4 inch steam a seam. Great for mending holes and adding applique and pockets. Ideal for smaller spaces. Also used effectively on hems on garments. 2. Some of the add a strip methods are extra cutting and stop start plus thread use issues. I've looked at them and think also fiddly. 3. I quite like the top sashing one. I have 12 x 12.5 inch unfinished blocks which I'm hoping will work with this method. It allows the possibility of adding extra blocks if your quilt needs to be bigger before deciding to stop and bind. 4. likewise I'm undecided on the two methods with batting same size ir trimmed. My ADD brain likes easy to finish style. Extra trimming would drive me nuts. 5. That being all said above. I'm a fan of Monica at Pattern Poole TV. Hopefully viewers will check her out too. She specialises in QAYG methods. I wish I has discovered sine of these methods before I fully stitched up 3 queen size quilt tops. On a cc regular domestic machine, it's going to get interesting this year. Cheers to all the quilting community. I'm now a new subscriber here. I watch to learn something new every day. Life is too short not to be quilting and done is better than perfect. Anita of BEYONDAWESOMEDESIGNS

@charlenevaughn2337 2 года назад

Thank you for this very helpful tutorial and comparisons. I've been trying to find no hand sewing methods too. One of the methods that helped with hiding the extra line on the top used lace! So you will actually have two lines on top as you sew the lace down, but it adds such a nice touch with no hand sewing! I'm sorry but I didn't write the author's name down and I've been trying to find it again.

@ScrapFabricLove 2 года назад

Glad you liked the video. I’ve definitely never seen a lace method! Sounds interesting.

@buglady132 2 года назад

I appreciate this so much. I've bought everything I think I need but I've never made a quilt before. I like you only have a domestic machine Unfortunately unlike you I've never made a quilt before but it's something I've always wanted to do. I'm 63 so I figured it's now of never. Lol This video is so helpful for me. Thank you so much.

@ScrapFabricLove 2 года назад

Go for it! You can do it! I only started quilting a year and a half ago. Just take one step at a time and don’t let it be stressful. The first one is totally a learning experience. Happy to answer anything I can if you bump into issues! Good luck!

@BAM-jc7uy Год назад

loooove the quilt displayed behind you!!...also the pattern on the lamp is totally interesting, wondering how and if the pattern can be translated into a quilt top panel, border, etc. Hmm wavy lines corded looked?? or batting wt or trapunto method...interesting 3-d glass pattern on lamp. I also use deco lite/med wt fabric for my own personal use quilts, because of the wt and also will sometimes use it as bindings...so really really liked your backing. Back in the mid 60s I sewed my dresses and used lite/med weight deco fabric because of the hang, and so I wouldn't have to sew a lining...LOL I loved to make empire waist dresses with long sleeves and hong kong seams and hip-hugger bell-bottoms. LOL

Hello, I just watched your video because I'm doing a t-shirt quilt that I plan to QAYG. I remember a couple of the methods you showed and will probably use the one with the 1" & 2" joining strips (maybe not those exact measurements), BUT the only difference will be that I'll join the front then press the back over and use some dots of glue to hold it in place -then I can stitch in the ditch from the front and it should catch the back piece as well. Hope my explanation makes sense. Thanks for all the info

@ScrapFabricLove Год назад

Somehow just seeing your comment. Hope your plan worked out! Good luck with your quilt!

@kerrydavidson2288 Год назад

@@ScrapFabricLove And now I've changed my mind again. I'm going to put a seam allowance on the back and join them, then put a strip over the front to cover it. Probably need a bit of fusible to make the front layers stay flat before I put the strip on.

@ScrapFabricLove Год назад

A good iron might work okay too! Try it first and see if you can skip the fusible step. It’s a good fall back but I would always skip a step when I can 😉

@Mickey-jn8hz Год назад

I was thinking of top stitching too before I saw you do this. You know, I will never invite the “quilt police” to my house. So long as it holds together….I be happy camper!

@ScrapFabricLove Год назад

Good policy! I have a denim and scrap quilt I did QAYG block by block with some top stitching elements. It turned out really well. There are some videos on that one if you haven’t seen them.

@kristienorsedragonwebber1328 2 года назад

Which comes together the fastest? I’m trying to make a king sized quilt with my 11 yo son, as a gift for my mom’s birthday. We’re inexperienced with quilting (I’ve done some garment sewing, and he’s done some with me), but I have no patience and tend to rush/be sloppy. So I’m trying to figure out the best way to do such a large project in bite-sized boys in a way that’s fool-proof/easy enough that we can’t screw it up too badly. I know that sounds like a lot to ask, but I’m still really hoping???

@ScrapFabricLove 2 года назад

Hard to answer as different people find different things fiddly! I thought doing it in sections the way I did for my queen size one was easiest for me but depending what you can fit through your machine the ‘false back’ one is probably the most fool proof but you do have to attach the false back eventually so you would have to fit the middle of the quilt through your machine. If that’s not doable maybe try the way I did mine. There is another video that shows it in more detail called Queen size quilt as you go. Hope you find a way that works for you! Love that you are doing that with your son. Mom goals for me!

@kfaz3979 2 года назад

Kristen, thank you so much for taking the time to demonstrate and film all these different methods in one handy place for us! Much appreciated! Just skipped to your queen sized QAYG and it’s beautiful! I was wondering how you’d join each block, but you did columns of blocks as you’d already said in this video. I love the backing fabric on the quilt behind you in this video! Do you know what it’s called and who makes it? It’s beautiful!

@ScrapFabricLove 2 года назад

Glad you liked the video! Can you describe the quilt with the backing fabric you like? I’m not sure which one you mean. Hopefully it’s a fabric I remember!

Ok yes I know which quilt you mean. The botanical kind of print. It’s actually an upholstery weight fabric I got in a bundle on eBay.

@marilynstorey8813 5 месяцев назад

I am just learning how to join the blocks. I like having the block larger and do the quarter inch seam on the front. On the back put the tape on and sew down each side. On the front it looks like you did parallel stitching on either side of the ditch. I am thinking about making the quilt reversible. I don't want to distort my blocks on the front with the strips.

I want to make a king size whole cloth quilt. I have a long arm machine and it has a 10f. frame so king is too big. If quilted the width of fabric long enough for the bed do you think the quilt as you go would work for the 2 long seams to put the 3 long rows together? afraid to start and ruin my fabric. Have you ever done anything like this?

@ScrapFabricLove 2 года назад

I don’t have a long arm and haven’t really done a whole cloth so I can’t speak from experience here but if you are doing straight lines anyway it should still work shouldn’t it? I’m not as sure what to do for the join if you are doing more decorative quilting. Unless of course you are okay with hand sewing the back!

@kerrydavidson2288 Год назад

Should not be a problem. just join the pieces any way you like from the front in any of the methods - you would need to hand sew on the back for a really good finish

@theresafinn4257 6 месяцев назад

It seems to me that all of them involve running the entire quilt through the machine. The method with the strip applied on top of the opened seam, could be done with the strip in the same backing fabric as the backing, could be applied to the back. Then no sashing on the front. I used the one piece backing method.

@annesummers09 8 месяцев назад

After you sew the 2 blocks together back-to-back, couldn't you go into seam and trim the batting down to the seam and then lay your sashing piece on it? That might take out a lot of the extra bulk in the seam. Thanks for the info.😊

@ScrapFabricLove 8 месяцев назад

There are so many variations - you could change any of these methods up to suit you better for sure!

@momdad8806 Год назад

@Candyfsu 2 года назад

Why do the sashing strips have to be two sizes. 1" and 2" strips on front/back?.

@ScrapFabricLove 2 года назад

I was basically following other people’s instructions to see which method I liked best so I can’t say for sure but I think it is because one is for the actual joining and one is for the look of it. I’d love to know how it turns out if you do both the same!

@marlenesmithies7234 Год назад

@katehenry2718 Год назад

Holding front and back strip at the same time sounds like I'd make a mess, with a lot of do-overs. If there's going to be hand sewing, I'm gonna put it all on the front where it counts. #6 looks the least fuss, even tho there is a lot of extra cloth to trim. How about zigging the mating stuffing edges after the fronts are joined. The little bit of crush shouldn't make a difference in the warmth. Sew the final back-folding from the front so the front has priority over perfect.
