Double tables....great idea. The ironing tip is a great one that I'm going to try. Thanks for the video 😊

You make this look so doable! When you spray baste the top, then set aside to do the backing, how do you keep it from sticking to itself?

I hope you will also make a follow up video on the quilting process so we can learn how to handle the bulk when quilting such a large quilt on a domestic sewing machine. I have been procrastinating making a king sized quilt for fear of not being able to handle the quilting part. Thanks again for you excellent tutorials. 🤗

Yes I definitely will show how I quilted it. That will be a separate video - stay tuned!

Hallelujah! Thank you Christa. I have been using this method for quite a while but never thought to spray my top first. I have been struggling with trying to fold top and spray basting 1/2 half at a time. Quite a struggle. Your method will help me tremendously. thanks again.. Sarah

I noticed you mentioned ironing seams open,. So on my quilt they are ironed to the dark. I should re iron them open now? I’m so nervous about quilting my first quilt. Thank you for the step by step video!

Christa, Excellent video on basting large quilts. Unfortunately, I would not recommend using 505 spray on the fabric, but ONLY on the batting. I used it on a backing and it is permanently stained. Love the Interlinked pattern.

Thanks for your comment. The 505 does not stain fabric when used correctly. I do it this way for all my quilts with no issues. As mentioned in the video, I always make sure to shake the can and do a test spray to ensure the spray is coming out smoothly and cleanly. Also it’s important to not over spray. If the spray is coming out of the can in clumps, don’t use it. It happens rarely but usually means the can has been stored at too high of a temperature or has been stored for too long.

I started using 505 spray for quilt projects after watching your KZfaq channel. Reading the can instructions just wasn’t enough!

Hi Christa, thanks for this useful video. I have been using your technique for a few years now and it works really well. I have one question though? Do you have any tips/strategies to ensure your backing is straight and centred with the top, especially when the backing is pieced (with just one seam or pieced with blocks.)? Thanks!

Hi! No, I don't even try to line it up straight with the seams. That's one extra step that's difficult to manage. So I don't worry about it as long is the backing is bigger than the top and batting.

Christa, I love this process as I usually make really large quilts, but do you have to worry about lining up the backing to be sure it is straight with the top? if so, how do you ascertain that they are straight with each other?

@ChristaQuilts Жыл бұрын

No. I'm not at all trying to line it up straight. If that happens, that's a bonus! I'm just making sure that there's enough backing and batting stick out around all the sides. But all the layers are rectangles, so they will somewhat line up since they are the same shape.

Nice video. What are you going to quilt this on? I have a tip for you. At harbor freight, they have suction cup handles for about $3 per handle. Works great to move around your ruler. 👍

I will be quilting it on my BERNINA. Stay tuned!
