A safe rule of thumb for batting sizes is 1 inch larger than the finished block size. We trim our batting all the way back to the last stitch guide in Queen of Stitching Designs to keep the batting out of the seam allowance. When not using our designs - trim your batting back to the seam used to join your blocks. We generally cut the fabric for our backing 1 1/2 inches larger than the finished block size. That gives us plenty of extra fabric for easy centering and trimming.

When we use the school glue to secure the open edge of the backing we can make sure that the seam line is covered by the 1/8" lip that we created. The lip is designed to make certain that you have plenty of fabric to catch when you stitch in the ditch from the front.

Had not heard of the EZ Fold Pen before. Will check it out.

The iron that is being used is made by a company called Coverite. The iron is called a "21st Century Sealing Iron". You can find the iron either through an online search or visiting craft stores. We LOVE this iron and have used this model for years and years.

I always sew the backing by hand for a more finished look. But, I've never thought about using school glue for a temporary adhesive....I've always pinned but I'll try the glue next time. :-)

How much wider do you cut the batting and the backing compared to the top? I'm going to be starting a log cabin quilt using this method tomorrow and I'm not sure how much more to cut these two items. Thanks!

Check out the newest addition to our Joining Quilt Block videos. Our newest method uses continuous backing and batting strips so there is no need to close the backing between blocks. Thumbs up for Saving Time! Joining Quilt Blocks with Continuous Backing and Batting Strips

THANK YOU! I have been looking into making a quilt using the QYAG method, but never found a video of how to join them together with a smooth backing...Thank you!

A bit confusing... the last step... did you stitch in the ditch from the front side, and then have to blindly assume you caught the back side perfectly with that 1/8" topstitch? I mean, you DID catch it beautifully, but I'm not so sure I could be confident that *I* could do so well.

I would like to purchase the iron which appears in the video. What is its brand? How may I obtain one? since I am living in Turkey do you know any websites from which I can purchase one?

I was following right along and comprehending perfectly until you stated that the stitches it will only show on the backside. Where are the top-sde stitches of the final step....the stitch-in-the-ditch on the back? How do you keep the s-i-t-d from showing on the front?

@ruthfreeman864 7 жыл бұрын

exactly how did you join these blocks

@mollyjochym8902 8 жыл бұрын

I hope this question makes sense. After you stitch in the ditch, there is a stitching line going from top to bottom on the block. How do you sew the rows together since you can't separate the layers as you did when you were making the blocks? The top, batting and bottom layers are now all sewn together at each end and can't be separated. Please help :)

@QueenofStitching 8 жыл бұрын

When joining the blocks together - we only stitch the exact length of the finished block and do not stitch into the seam allowance at the beginning and end of the the stitching lines. This leaves the seam allowances open to be used for joining the rows. Our newest method of joining blocks uses continuous strips of batting and backing which eliminates the need to close the backing between blocks.

When your needle position is properly adjusted (calibrated) - your stitches will fall right into the middle of the seam (the stitching line between the two pieces of fabric). You will only be able to see the stitches if you pull the edges of each piece of fabric away from each other to expose the seam. Otherwise, the stitches are hidden.

How did you keep your back side from showing the the threads where they started and ended ?

@QueenofStitching 8 жыл бұрын

As a rule we hold on to our ends when we begin a seam to prevent nesting. If you are uncomfortable with the idea of just trimming your ends - try threading them through the eye of a needle. Then insert the needle tip into the quilt for an inch and bring the needle tip out again. Pull the threads so that they are taught and then trim the ends. once the threads are relaxed again, the ends will be inside of the quilt sandwich.

What is a stainless steel flow restrictor?

@QueenofStitching 8 жыл бұрын

A stainless steel flow restictor is a conical shaped device that is placed upon the tip of your glue bottle. The flow restrictor has a much smaller opening than the actual glue tip meaning that it allows for a much tinier bead of glue. Stainless Steel Tips are available on our website.

Just so you know - you can always find all of our videos at our website. Our newest joining video shows how we join quilt blocks using continuous batting and batting strips which eliminates the need to close the backing between blocks. You can watch it at: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nbx1jMh0x5muY4k.html Part 3 can be seen at: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gNGIY6Slyq6XgJs.html&spfreload=10 Part 4 can be seen at: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ic6gprV22eDconk.html

how do you sew the back and prevent it from showing on the front part of your quilt the video doesn't show this.

@QueenofStitching 10 жыл бұрын

The blocks are joined by stitching in the ditch from the right side of the quilt. If you advance the video to 6:05 you will find the beginning of the explanation. Also - check out our newest video "Joining Quilt Blocks With Continuous Backing and Batting Strips. The new process eliminates the need to join the backing between quilt blocks. Rows are still joined using the joining method shown in this video. You can find the new video at: Joining Quilt Blocks with Continuous Backing and Batting Strips
