What is a false back? Why do I want this custom upgrade on my quilt? How can I add one?
Happy Top 5 Friday from Longarming By Jaclyn. We continue our custom quilt design series talking about false backs, a way you can see the quilting only on the front but not the back of your quilt. Want to make a double quilt or do the Pillow Flip?

OMG - I’m glad I saw this today, I’ve been wondering how to do this and I already have a quilt on the frame just waiting for an idea to pop in my head. Thank you thank you thank you - a false back, how clever

@longarmingbyjaclyn 4 месяца назад

I'd love to see what you've done with it. If you post to facebook tag me @LongarmingByJaclyn or IG @massey.jc 😀

I am relatively new to patchwork and quilting. And had wondered if putting 2 quilts together was doable. So thank you for your clear explanation of the various methods of adding a false back.

@carol8273 8 месяцев назад

Personally, i just find it easier to quilt on a domestic sewing machine with only two layers. I DO NOT enjoy making a quilt sandwich. I make it even easier and use the backing fabric as my binding by turning to the front. I do some tacking to keep the backing attached to the quilt. 😊

@longarmingbyjaclyn 8 месяцев назад

I just saw where Dave from Dave's Craft room pre-trims the top and batting for that rolled binding method. Genius! It is so easy to nick the backing the other way! I usually leave a healthy unquilted margin to help me fold it back and even use pins!

Thank you...always looking for new methods

I am finishing my second quilt, a queen sized story photo quilt, both totally hand sewn. I did this double quilting because I was using different colour cotton to suit the narrative. My first quilt took two years and I’m busy now 18 months with the second which has a huge serpentine film strip appliqué which I will quilt on an already quilted sandwich. Binding has been done. I didn’t know there was a specific name for this. I just know it took a long time. Thank you for this video.

@kayeammerman4964 7 месяцев назад

Thank you sooo much for posting this! I have a few quilt tops completed that I’ve never actually quilted because I had thought I would make it reversible but then the parts on the front/back wouldn’t match up so I wouldn’t like the results. Now I know I can quilt each onto batting and then put them together. It would obviously be a thicker quilt (Yay warmer and more snuggly!). Perhaps using fusible fleece would be better option.

@longarmingbyjaclyn 7 месяцев назад

A nice bamboo would layer nicely as well! Check out The Batting Episode on my channel!

@meacadwell 22 дня назад

Ah...I learned this as a pillow case backing...because it loose like a pillow case on a pillow.

@longarmingbyjaclyn 22 дня назад

@@meacadwell i sometimes call it the pillow flip!

@Bd6598-m4v 21 день назад

Same here,never heard of false back. Personally I find it too loose and.sloppy looking without anything holding backing to the front. It's probably very warm though

@longarmingbyjaclyn 21 день назад

@@Bd6598-m4v i will tack it down some. Or you can quilt each side separately!

@meacadwell 20 дней назад

@@longarmingbyjaclyn How would you quilt each side separately? I'm intrigued by this thought but can't figure it out in my head.

@longarmingbyjaclyn 20 дней назад

@@meacadwell I'll have to do a video for that in detail. I did a video where I made dog beds and kinda discussed it. Check out my dog bed videos and let me know if that answers your question! I'll get a video in the works for that as well!

@CherylONeal-e1f 6 дней назад

What do you do if you want to use minky on the back and have a false back. It doesn’t shrink like the front that’s 100% cotton. Wouldn’t you end up with a baggy back even with some tacking?

@longarmingbyjaclyn 6 дней назад

@CherylONeal-e1f if a little crinkle is a concern, I would use prewashed fabrics on the front/top. You can also simply starch and steam your top fabrics prior to use. I know the washing machine can knock fabric off grain and take away that nice crisp brand-new-fabric feel that is so nice for accurate piecing.

@CherylONeal-e1f 6 дней назад

@@longarmingbyjaclyn good suggestion! Thanks.

@katehenry2718 5 месяцев назад

It looks like the modern plan is to use stuffing that is quite solid and Very thin. Two layers is considered a HEAVY quilt. oh my. These must be for warm climates... just for pretty. It does get quilts out of the serious deep snow belt where double layer of soft fluff is standard. That's a bit of a brain-bend for me, but a good idea after all ))). Quilts should be on Every bed. ))))

@longarmingbyjaclyn 5 месяцев назад

I've lived in both places. I like a crisp antique quilt, and we just layer according to climate. So every bed has at least one quilt, usually more!

@marinaabad4995 Год назад

Good information but could be more effectively communicated by showing completed quilts to demonstrate the different types. For the second part, please use sample blocks that you complete on the video to show how it's done. Flapping the patched piece, back fabric, and the batting for all your examples was not very educational.

@longarmingbyjaclyn Год назад

I am sorry you did not find the video clear. Maybe I will add a tutorial on each technique in the future. This was meant to be more of an inspirational overview to get you thinking and asking the right questions with the person who finshes your quilts. Thanks for the great feedback!

@mary-ruthflores4107 4 месяца назад

Yes , please do a video with the examples. While this video has good info, I would really like to see how you do the various false backs.

@elizabethwade8316 3 месяца назад

What type of batting is best to use for the false back and/or after quilt?

@longarmingbyjaclyn 3 месяца назад

It depends on what you want for the quilt in the end. Here's a video on batting types. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OCjpVWpOOLQ.htmlsi=26f-m9JNavHTxNr1

@deborahn.6150 4 месяца назад

I'm new to quilting. Currently working on a tshirt quilt and want to try this. Do you machine quilt with the front up or the batting up?

@longarmingbyjaclyn 4 месяца назад

I would quilt it with the top up. Especially with a tshirt quilt, you'll love working with it without the extra weight of the backing for the bulk of your quilting. I'd love to see what you come up with for your tshirt quilt. When you post pics, tag me! @LongarmingByJaclyn on fb or @massey.jc on IG. Thanks!

@deborahn.6150 4 месяца назад

Using my grandmother's Singer treadle machine. This isn't really working well for quilting. Scrapping that idea and will just top stitch around the seams. Thank you for sharing and for answering my question. 😊

You have solved my problem: A enough log cabin blocks have been wished upon me to make a 66 X 87" quilt. Thus I purchased a beautiful plush backing, which matches well. However I do not want the backing "floating in the breeze". Thank you for the solution: just a few machine stitches here and there amongst the logs. Now I can finish the cotton-picking thing. :-)

@longarmingbyjaclyn 4 месяца назад

Thank you for sharing the information. Unfortunately the background music was so annoying that i didn’t make it even halfway through. Sorry, but that’s the truth.

@longarmingbyjaclyn 6 месяцев назад

I'll bear that in mind!

@deborahschroeder3454 5 месяцев назад

the background music was so soft you could hardly hear it.

@tinadenike2357 5 месяцев назад

I agree this video didn't really need music

@mary-ruthflores4107 4 месяца назад

I think the music was different loudness on different devices. I started this video on my phone and the music was fine, but I changed to my iPad and it was overpowering. So I turned on CC and turned the volume down. When you are talking you really don’t need the music. I think that RU-vid has a problem with balancing the talking and music together

@Bd6598-m4v 21 день назад

I found it more distracting to see the fabric flipping around in the air, I understand better when the sewing us actually shown.
