I've watched A LOT of quilting videos on CZcams and yours is the simplest and easiest to follow, thank you
Thank you so much. Very happy to hear 😊
YES it Is !!!!!
A HUGE thank you from Texas!!! 🤠🤠💖💖 SO simple!!
This is the legit most helpful video I've ever seen for quilting!! I'm brand new and this is just the best.
That’s wonderful. I hope you catch the quilting bug 😉
Thank you..wish I’d watched that yesterday before I put together my QAYG. However I did already learn from your videos to put blocks together and then quilt. Way easier than block by block 🇮🇪
👍👍
thank you Ive been trying to figure out how to sew a line on dark fabric and I NEVER would have thought of folding a piece of paper love this thank you so much ,I love it
Glad I could help!
Very interesting video Teresa. I am a beginner in quilting
You can do it!
You are so clever with the folded paper! Love it! It came out beautiful as always. Thank you again for sharing your wonderful techniques with us all. Cheers!
👍👍😊
I just love you easy quilting techniques! Your book is a wonderful example how fun quilting should be 😃 Thank you for making these videos
Thank you so much 😊😊😊🌷🌷
This method is great for beginning quilters to practice free motion designs or complicated straight line quilting with a walking foot because it's so much easier to move a section of a block or even four blocks around on a domestic machine with a small harp area. When I'm ready to attach the backing to the entire quilt top & batting already done, it's not that hard to just do some straight or simple wavy lines done "in the ditch" (actually done about 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch on each side of the ditches of the individual blocks). Makes one actually look forward to the "quilting" aspect instead of dreading the fear making a mess of it :-/
More finished quilts is much more fun and satisfying than the guilt of a number of quilt-tops-only that sit on my shelves for months (or maybe even years!) before they get done. Maybe if I were making an heirloom quilt I might put out the money for a longarmer, but I don't have that kind of money for my lifestyle or budget. I find this method just dandy!
This method still requires handling large pieces but it’s more doaband as you say you can get quite fancy with the quilting without the mess 😊
Did you not see the lack of using a walking foot..bad finish..🇨🇦
I like your idea of using card stock as a guide for stitching your quilting lines. Very helpful
🙏
This is brilliant, thank you! The easiest method I’ve seen! Deb x 🤗
Glad it was helpful!
Oh my gosh I’m sure glad I stumbled on this on .easy, I’ll do this when I finish my scrappy blocks. Thanks so much
Thank you
I would recommend spray basting and using a walking foot so no more need for pinning.
Good tip thank you 🙏
Very easy to follow video!! Thankyou!
Thank you for watching
Hello Kathy
Don’t forget the binding lol beautiful job done from Newfoundland Canada thank you
The binding is next week 😊😊
We don't all do binding ;) Some of us prefer facing or pillow method (inside out finishing, pull through, hidden stitch finish the opening) for modern, clean, floating border styles of quilts.
I know my comment may seen harsh but it's not meant too Ok
Here it is ....I am so glad you had puckers, On the back I thought I was doing something wrong, obviously quilts move I feel better now still have lots to learn and I will still be watching and learning with you. Thank you
😂😂😂 not to worry. My quilting is far from perfect. Also when you quilt so far apart and the quilt is hanging or not perfectly flat on a surface the wrinkling shows. Quilting is about having fun. It’s great to strive for improvement but perfection shouldn’t get in the way of having fun. You’ll get better with every quilt 😊
@Colleen w - Look at this way; puckers or other minor issues on a quilt make it obvious to the recipient that it was handmade, indicating a lot of hours and love were put into making it. Anyone -- with enough money :-) -- can buy an expensive store-bought or "professionally" made quilt. Sure, that's nice. But tell me this: Which kind of gift from your 14-year-old child would mean more to you? The one your husband gave them money to "Buy your mother a gift for Mother's Day" or the one your child hand made for you secretly in their room? Of course it's the handmade one with all that time and effort. I'd feel the same way if an adult relative or friend gave me a gift. Now if that friend or relative sees a pucker or a skipped stitch here and there, it might even make them more comfortable about making a gift for you, knowing you're not a perfectionist and they don't have to impress you either - whether that's a gift or your relationship in general.
😊
Those quilters who don't have puckers and their quilts look perfect, usually do them on a longarm quilter and to me, that's just not quilting. Set the machine and walk off.?? The machine is doing the quilting. I love my gramma's handmade quilts, imperfections and all. Wouldn't trade them for one of those perfect quilts for any amount of money.
Thank you all for understanding my coment , i can relate to your answers too ta
I miss your video u r the best thanks for sharing your experience🥰
👍😊
I love this method!! I'm about to attempt my first qayg.
Have fun!
@@teresadownunder Thanks. I will🥰
Hello, how are you doing my friend?
Thank you for sharing. Love your quilting.
Thank you 😊
why not add the backing with the block? That backing wont hold like that, when washed, it needs to be quilted somehow in with the blocks
thank you for the advice
The whole point of quilt as you go is that you don't have to struggle with trying to get a large quilt through the throat of your machine. When you put the QAYG blocks together, the bulk is always to the left, not going through the throat.
Sewing a strip over your ironed open seams gives a nice looking back. If you don't want it to look like sashing, use the same fabric as the backing pieces.
Thank you for your tips
There is more than one "whole point" of why one would QAYG. Some of us don't like the look of strips even if they're the same color as the backing material. Some of us prefer quilting one block at a time, time-wise. Etc. Maybe start your own channel to share your unsolicited "whole point" criticisms of others.
@@ArtemisSilverBow @Erin K Yikes! Sorry I used the Comment section to make a comment you don't like. Posters usually turn it off if they don't want comments.
You might be interested to know that there are ways to join QAYG that don't require sashing. And all the beautiful quilting shows on the front AND the back.
@Mary M Of course I know there's ways to do it without sashing. I've taught piecing. And no thanks for your condescending, sarcastic comment continuing to make it as unpleasant as possible after criticizing the poster. You mis-assume you know more than others and have to educate us. No thanks, Mary. No thanks. Please just start your own channel.
@@ArtemisSilverBow It appears you are reading a lot into very benign comments, and lashing out to an unwarranted degree. I can't think of a way to communicate with you that won't cause you further consternation, so I'll just wish you a pleasant new day and happy stitching.
Really enjoy watching ur videos. They are the best 👌
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for this! I was trying to find a QAYG project where I didn’t have to hand sew the batting and then the backing together.
Glad it was helpful!
At last, exactly what I want to do. Thank you 😊
Great
Nice looking quilt. This process makes a nice quilt - you are old school it may take you a while to get on board, but it does a great job an dis a whole lot cheaper than a long-armed.
Very true!
Love this quilt w/o sashing
😊🙏
I love your videos they are so helpful
OMG so glad I stumbled upon this video. You have just made quilting for me so much easier. 🤗
Glad it was helpful!
I actually think I can do this method!
Great 👍
i wondered how it was done; very helpful tutorial!
👍
Such a good tutorial.. as always!
Thank you 🙏
Thank you. Your tutorial is crystal clear.
👍
don´t you use quilt-as-you-go to not have the whole quilt under the machine? It would only make sense to me, if you added the backing to the blocks before sewing them together. I expected this and now I´m a little disapointed
This method is somehow in between like I explain in my blog
@@teresadownunder , thank you
A older lady told me you could not do this !🤣I was thinking 🤔 well why not this is definitely what I will be doing
👍👍
Is there a reason why you didn't put the backing on BEFORE stitching all together? Too messy on the back?
Yo avoid doing sashing
Going yo leave wrinkles on back. Just love the front.
Probably
We who dont have the room or knees for basting thank you.
👍
@ Ingrid Matthews - That's why I like it too! Not to mention I don't have to pay out the big bucks to send it to a longarmer. :-)
Great tutorial.. thanks so much
Thank you for watching
@@teresadownunder im in qld what state are you?
Awesome! Congrats! 💐
👍
Amazing!!! Congratulation from chile!!
Gracias 🙏
great method
👍😊🌷
Love it ❤️🇨🇦
Thank you
Hello , how are you doing my friend?
Maybe I’m missing something? I thought the idea behind quilting as you go was to eliminate putting a giant quilt under your home sewing machine because, well, it’s a giant quilt and hard to get under your home sewing machine! 😩
This is just one of many methods
Always beautiful 😍
Thank you
Awesome I started my string quilt as you go without the sashing let us hope I can do this making a lap quilt 12 1/2 inch squares trying to see how many squares I need across thank you for your replies
Good luck with iypt, you’ll be alright
Hello, how are you doing my friend?
Very very nice thank you
🙏
Doesn't all the batting eventually come away from just the front after a few washings since it's not sandwiched together other than big channels? How is this a quilt that can handle regular washing?
The front is quilted closely so it shouldn’t
But it a may depend on the type of batting you use
Hello
Thanku.
🙏🙏
Bellos TODOS TUS PROYECTOS😍😍😍😍😍
👍😊
Thank you as always for your helpful video. What type of batting did you use? I know it was very thin as it should be. Most tutorials have sashing and I love yours without...You always have such helpful videos!!!
Thank you 😊 I use cotton or bamboo batting. Here you can see some links teresadownunder.com/my-quilting-tools/
Is there a video to show how to put the binding on, I love this method, getting ready to put my quilt together.

Hi Cindy
Question: Have heard through the years that if the block seams are ironed open & stitch-in-the-ditch is used the stitches will break. Have u have this experience?
I haven’t had that happen but if you sew exactly in the seamline I can see that it could be a problem because you’ll be sewing on batting and backing fabric at times.
Yes, I had the same question
Pressing seams open does not weaken the quilt. But if you're concerned I suggest using a smaller stitch length. With the new technology and methodology the concept of open seams weaken the block or quilt is a myth. Old wives tale sort a speak.
Excellent video! Two questions: why not quilt in the ditch, i.e. seamline? Also, the final pix shows the quilt with the backing sewed in only one direction. Shouldn't it be quilted the opposite way also, so there's more stability?
Thank you. If you quilt in the ditch and you’ve pressed the seams open you’ll be sewing the backing only so to speak. But you can sew very close to the seam sufro sure. And yes you should quilt in both directions better. I was hurrying through the process for the QAL and should’ve done that. The point I was trying to make is that you don’t need to quilt close together with this method.
@@teresadownunder OK, I get it now - quilting in the ditch w pressed open seams
wouldn't catch any of the top fabric/batting. Makes sense! Thanks for this video, this method is very doable!
@@HereIsMyStuff35 Correct! You would be sewing through thread only...not fabric...
👍
Also, for aesthetic reasons. I don't care for the stitch in the ditch look of quilting. I prefer quilting motifs, lines, etc. that enhance the pattern and fabric.
Nice job!!👍🏽👍🏽
, does the quilt get bunched up from washing? Im talking about the areas that are not quilted with all 3 layers?
I haven't watched yet but I don't expect it to.
Divino!!!
Gracias
Just watch your video thank you so much. I was wondering as I didn't see . Did you bind the edges.
I eventually do
Очень понравилось. Спасибо
👍😊🙏
Hallo Teresa MERCI
🙏🙏
Great!!! Todo lo haces ver tan facil y ademas Hermoso!!! 👏👏😘😘
Gracias 😊
I thought you had to have a certain distance between quilting so that the batting is stable. With this method you won't have that for the back and I think you'll find that the back of the quilt will start wearing a lot faster than the front. I think we all need to realize that there are no short cuts when it comes to quilting. Sorry, if this sounds harsh. I like the videos that you make.
Thank you for your advice.
I quilt large quilts on a domestic, its doable. What I was suggesting that this quilt might not last as long as a quilt that has been quilted properly. I think this method would be fabulous for a table runner or wall hanging. @@nonya.bizness
The backing fabric does look puckered.
👍
Bravo
👍😉
This doesn’t make sense to me!! The whole idea is quilt as you go. This is quilting twice. Might work for small quilts, but not full or larger.
👍
Did you see the ruffling on the quilt back after sewn ..could not have used a walking foot…this is not for beginners who want to avoid disappointment..just sayin..🇨🇦
I agree I should’ve shown how to stitch more closely. My bad
Oh I thought backing was put on too?
For this method it’s added at the end
Um, seems the quilt as you go is to get the whole quilt done by block…(top, batting, and backing). You added that big piece of backing later which was double work and I must say, and..the backing looked terrible and uneven. Not to be mean or anything but you put so much time in on your block making, to have the back of your quilt end up looking like it did. There are some nice videos out there that shows how to quilt as you go (the whole sandwich block) with or without sashing. Good luck next time. 🌷
👍
No, it looks bunched up. Not what I expected
👍
Thank dear lady we spoke before and can you move fast i know speed of the video lol laugh at the way the you pull out the pins lol

Nah, close but no cigar.

NEVER use an iron near a cutting mat. The heat will buckle it! Great video otherwise.
👍
You can buy special woollen ironing mats that protect the mat from heat
I was speaking from experience as I had once used a fabric/wadding wooden ironing board on top of a large cutting mat and the heat managed to go through and make the cutting mat distorted. I was concerned the heat which was on the edge of your woollen ironing mat would do the same thing and it would be a shame to ruin your expensive cutting mat. Regards.
I can see that could happen to some mats. My new caliber art mat can take the heat, no problems there, but I had an Olfa mat that didn’t like it at all 😊
Goodness, no walking foot to quilt the rows together, no wonder they pull at the back and are wonky! Naughty you!
I didn’t quilt it close enough so it looks loose when hanging but it’s ok otherwise 😊 😂
