This is my new favorite Quilt-as-you-go joining method!
Part 2 to this video is now out also and explains a bit better how to adapt this method for blocks and rows - • My new favorite Quilt-...
It is based on quilt as you go on a serger methods except that I don’t own a serger. So I thought I’d see if I could do the same on a domestic sewing machine. And it totally worked!
There is no hand sewing, no joining strips, no sashing and no false backs! It’s so simple and I was so excited when I found it. I’ve linked to the quilt as you go on a serger videos that I watched down below if you want to check out my source material!
I have now made two quilts with this method and this video shows you the simpler one.
If you want written instructions, as well as variations based on the comments folk, have left on this video you can find that blog post here: scrapfabriclove.com/the-easie...
I think this method is super adaptable and could be used for lots of different types of quilts even though the serger QAYG videos I watched were all strip quilts.
My orphan block quilt had loads of crazy blocks and sections and I was able to use this same method for that too.
I’d love to hear if you’ve tried this method either on your sewing machine or your serger - how did it work out for you? What type of quilt was it? Any tips?

Have you used this method before? What did you like or not like about it? I'd love to know!

@srd7175 Жыл бұрын

I’m so happy to see this pop up in my feed! It occurs to me this is very similar to adding QAYG borders stitch and flip but you add the backing first so you’re basically doing all three layers at once which is even better! I followed your queen size QAYG to make my first QAYG and this is so much simpler to put together three or four big panels. I really did not like blindly stitching on the back to close the seam this is much better! Thank you from Chicago Illinois!

My first large quilt (for a queen size bed) I quilted four large columns leaving the edges unquilted so I could join them together. It was the only way my old sewing machine could handle the bulk. In the end it turned out to be rather fabulous and it was also an original design. I too am still a confidant beginning quilter and KZfaq is my buddy!!! Channels like yours have helped me to just jump in and do it. Thanks for the tips and tricks!!

@ScrapFabricLove Жыл бұрын

Jumping in and doing is the best way! My first and only queen size so far I did the same way - in 4 big columns. But I’d not heard of this technique at that point so I joined the columns with the batting and backing folded back and then folded then backing over and machine stitched it to close. I have a video about it but I feel like if I was doing it again I would use this method instead!

As someone who actually relied on quilts for warmth as a youth, I am more than okay with more bulk, if I wanted factory precision there are other choices. I absolutely love this method. for many reasons, primarily there are not 12 tedious steps per block, the pinning is the worst. So even if I am off a bit with the method initially, I will get better, you are the quilt as you go goddess

I’ve watched this in two stages, so forgive me if you said this somewhere, but you can used this giant log cabin layout after making the top pieces from pieced sections to make the design fancier. And you could prepare the seams a bit by trimming 1/4” off the batting so it barely gets nibbled by the seam, held in place with a dab of glue stick, and then you will. It have the bulk you are worried about. Your quilting later will hold it all in place I LOVE your idea! Thank you

@ScrapFabricLove 11 ай бұрын

I have a part two to this video where I used more pieced type blocks in rows which might answer your question. I didn’t think there was really much bulk and I find it is less fiddly for me to sew the batting with the seam then to try to slide it in but lots of people prefer your way so it is just whatever works for you!

It seems that many of us have two sewing machines so that if you don't have a serger, you can have one sewing machine set up with the thread and stitch that you are using for one step and then move to the other different machine for the rest of the that work you are doing. I remember when I got my first machine with 5 (FIVE!!!!!) stitches on it. I had learned to sew on my mom's old Singer that only had a straight stitch and she had some gadget that attached to do buttonholes. So I was in love with ALL my 5 stitches! Now I have three sewing/embroidery machines with 100-200+ stitches each. I also have a serger, but after talking to my son last night my DIL has been wanting one so I am selling mine to him for super cheap. I have gone 67 years without one and I had gotten it to review for Amazon (also why the third sewing machine). But I don't have room for all these machines. Anyhow when I upgraded to a machine with what Janome calls utility stitches I was thrilled, plus of course all the decorative stitches. This is a very interesting technique. Thank you for sharing it.

You have re-discovered "Kaye Wood" or Kay Wood, an old time quilter who is no longer with us. Kay had a video on this method using both a Serger and regular sewing machine. I don't think it caught on because of the feeling of the joinings but I think it is Genius. She made perfectly useable quilts for kids and some full size for donating to charity. In my unfinished box, I have 2 quilts (her style) all set and ready to go but set aside to make others as gifts. This is really wonderful for you to have done this because you've actually demonstrated how to use it on smaller sections, and then to quilt. Please keep your ideas coming.

This is some times called a charity quilt because you can hide flannel sheets old clothes or anything you have for the batting. Make it heavy or light as you need. I made a memory quilt with assorted special fabrics and pieced them together and used a polyfill batting and a solid backing ( I just liked the fabric whole because it looked like the universe.) I quilted i with stitch in the ditch and wherever I thought it needed it and used the backing for the binding. That way it took me two long days. Love that quilt. My favorite charity is my family.❦✞

Thank you for sharing. The beauty of an overlocker/serger is that the blade trims away excess fabric as you go so that the stitches overlap the edge well to finish the raw edge. However it is not essential to intentionally cut away a lot of fabric as you can guide the piece alongside the blade so that it just trims any stray threads. I have just tested my overlocker on a double layer of batting plus fabric and it does a good job of flattening the batting down and reducing bulk, I imagine it will work well in this scenario. You have inspired me to have a go which I feel is the sign of you being a great teacher. 🤩

Great method! I am working on a T-Shirt quilt and plan to use a variation of your method. This will be my first T-Shirt quilt and I am not looking forward to quilting over the vinyl numbers (front and back). Love how your quilt turned out!

Thanks! I have yet to tackle a full t-shirt quilt but it’s on my list of ‘one day’ quilts for sure! Good luck with yours!

You might want to get a teflon/non stick needle if possible. It will slide thru the vinyl much easier.

@clombard7134 Жыл бұрын

@@nancy9478 Thank you for that suggestion. Not only do I have to sew through vinyl, but some shirts are also made of polyester not typical T-shirt cotton. I hope this project isn't my first and last T-shirt quilt!

Hi Kristen. Love this method of QAUG. Will give it a go soon. I have a overlocker but haven't used it much but was thinking maybe the overlocker may flatten the join more. I did not see that where you joined your quilt looked bulky. Love the baby quilt.

@ScrapFabricLove Жыл бұрын

Yes I imagine it might flatten it more. I didn’t think mine was too bulky either I just couldn’t understand why I had never heard of this method on a domestic so was guessing maybe it had to do with the bulk thing so I kept showing the seams to show they weren’t really that big!

@AuntDi2 Жыл бұрын

I love this! Do you mark where your quilted lines will be placed so they are somewhat the same each time? I have never done any actual quilting, only the piecing.

@ScrapFabricLove Жыл бұрын

No I didn’t mark. I just eyeballed the spacing as about two presser feet wide roughly but I was doing wavy lines so it wouldn’t matter heaps if I was a bit off. Wavy lines are a really easy place to start with quilting as there is no pressure to quilt straight!

OK, LOVE IT! The question I still have after watching your other videos on quilt as you go and other videos also QAYG: My quilting friends who use the traditional methods strongly maintain that QAYG ends up being lots more work. I'm new at this so I have only done small practice projects. What do you think? I'm thinking that my friends are just used to the traditional method and don't want the work of learning a new style. Is the benefit of doing quilting this way not needing to buy a long arm or struggle with a massive quilt under the arm of a standard machine? Or is it that you can keep adding more sections and grow the quilt as much as you like? Or something else?

@ScrapFabricLove Жыл бұрын

I think the benefits might be different for different people. For me though I normally probably wouldn’t do QAYG usually for a baby quilt (despite the one in the video being a baby quilt!). I turn to it more when I am at the point of thinking I don’t want to make a quilt that size (I.e. big) because then I know I have to wrestle it all through and around the sewing machine. I don’t have a long arm so I tend to stick to large throw size quilts if they aren’t QAYG. The queen size one I did I know I could not have done in one piece. This would be especially true also if you have a machine that doesn’t have a big throat space. With QAYG you are always sewing on the outside of even a large quilt - never directly in the middle if that makes sense? But also a lot of QAYG methods do require cutting extra strips, hand sewing things down etc etc - which is definitely more work in my opinion than a temporary wrestling match with a large quilt 😂. So that’s why I keep looking for machine only methods. But some people would be physically unable to choose to wrestle the big quilt even if they wanted to so for them it is either QAYG or a long arm.

@srd7175 Жыл бұрын

I only started using QAYG in Dec after seeing Kristen‘s queen size quilt. I have watched so many videos on different methods & I like the flexibility of it. I have only made one traditional method queen size 30 years ago. The benefits for me are I don’t have to get down on the floor in baste an entire quilt sandwich. I can do this a section at a time on a table, then add those sections together at the end, add borders quilt as you go, and bind. I’ve been way more productive using this method on a domestic kenmore. I made a queen size for my husband for Christmas and a full-size for my son for his birthday in about seven months part time. I have arthritis in my hands & knees now so it’s much easier to manage a 24 inch wide section to quilt. I think everybody has different reasons for using a method and for me there’s no going back! My friends are the same traditional only method - they also don’t like to move furniture like me lol I like change!

@SillySeamstress Жыл бұрын

Thank you! I love this method. And I started a quilt with a method very much like this about a dozen years ago. Part way through, I had an injury that left me unable to walk or sit, so sewing and quilting was put on the sidelines. I'm finally getting back to where I'm looking at my UFO bins, and I've been trying to remember how I did that particular project. I did mine in strips, and planned on joining them together, but, at the time, I saw no reason to take notes on my work in progress. So now I can go finish it. Yay! Thank you for the video!! Keep on quilting!! :)

@katehenry2718 Жыл бұрын

Why are you fussing about a tiny tiny bit of "not-flat" at the seams? This is a quilt. It is supposed to be fluffy so it will be warm. If it is dead flat and thin, you might as well have printed the cloth. This is an excellent method of dealing with a large quilt on a regular home sewing machine. )))))

@ScrapFabricLove Жыл бұрын

I suppose I was fussing over it as that is generally what folk talk about as the drawback of quilt as you go - having fat seams. Just wanted to show that it wasn’t an issue.

@ceciliaschleicher278 Жыл бұрын

I think you were missing the point. She was just trying to show an easy way to QAYG and how the joining seams aren't any more bulky than the other methods
