Thanks Kimberly and Team…so easy❤

[@8machines62]

What a great, simple idea! It encourages me to make some. Thank you.

[@maryrhudy9250]

My friend, Brenda, taught me to make these, but she taught me to layer the batting on the backing before sewing the strips on, this just leaving trimming and binding at the end.

[@nicoleewing1318]

Quilt as You Go was my first attempt at quilting and I LOVED it. It's my absolute favorite method of quilting because it's so much easier for me to manage on my home machine, especially for the bigger quilts. Recently I've been combining traditional block piecing and the Quilt as You Go method together and I love the results I'm getting. There can never be too many FQS Quilting videos, especially for Quilt as You Go...more more more Quilt as You Go! :-)

[@maplelassuk]

I love QAYG, and jelly rolls! Great tutorial and tip for squaring up the corners. Thank you Kimberley, and very pretty jelly roll!

[@trish6655]

Looking forward to following directions and making some for christmas gifts

[@brendawallgren8354]

I had to smile when you were quilting this. My walking foot also squeaks and speaks to me, lol

[@sandybeach4751]

I just made this today in Christmas fabric. It was the perfect gift for a friend as I made it out of fabric that she had given me from her mother’s fabrics after she had passed away. Thanks so much she will love it.

[@barbaramiller-kc2et]

You do an excellent job of explained step. The steps are very clear. Thank you!

Going to try this. You make it look so easy.

[@gailwhitaker4670]

Very helpful tutorial, Kimberly. I would also love to see a QAYG with blocks and showing how to attach the blocks together tutorial. You make it look so easy and explain it all so well. Thank you so much.

[@KandiceElizabeth2]

What a great project for a new quilter, or for someone as a gift.

[@angieallen4884]

This is a great project and so easy that I can make a table runner for each season and/or holiday! As I have gotten somewhat lazy in my old age, I would use the self-binding technique to finish. Excellent project to teach beginners. Thanks for great content, as always.

[@jaydeedee1191]

I love your tutorials. I was wondering if you can do fast and easy gifts for coworkers, teacher, etc. for the upcoming holidays. I feel handmade gifts are so much better😊

[@grandmastraw]

What a great project and beginner friendly! Thanks Kimberly and Lilly and staff for putting this video together.

[@ladyd54]

Great pattern and this could also be used for placemats as well. I would suggest anyone using a plaid or strip fabric for the backing to make sure that you place the top & bind true to the lines/plaid, so your back doesn’t look wonky. One could also use a decorative stitch and/or utility stitch for the quilting.

[@MarciaBaker1205]

It's a real pleasure watching you sew, Kimberly. Thanks for all FQS does to make us happy 🎃🎃🎃

[@patriciaguevara8793]

Well, that’s fast, simple and easy! Excellent for us beginners - thank you for the tutorial 😊

[@irenellere8969]

Thank you, Kimberly, you gave me a great idea for a table runner for the Holidays! I love this so very quick and easy...always the very best ideas!

This will be one of my next projects for sure. Thanks, Kimberley.

[@drhelenloney1426]

Genius! Optimal Christmas project, pretty and doable

[@patriciaberne613]

I purchased the 50 weight and the 28 weight threads for piecing and quilting (as you suggested). I am getting ready to make this table runner, and I just wondered if I should also use these AURIFILL threads and corresponding weights in the bobbin. I really like the AURIFILL thread because I see less puckering in my work, but it is a little expensive and just wondered about the bobbin thread. Thanks. And thank you for all of your hard work in organizing such well-thought-out tutorials, Kimberly. Pat aBerne

[@kathyboyd8586]

Really enjoying this project! It's my first time quilting and this is a great 1st project for beginners. Very fun and easy to do! Thanks Kimberly!

Kimberly, I love the 28 weight quilting. What size needle did you use in your sewing machine ? Great tutorial.😊

[@katiehughes340]

What a great project and video!!!

[@Candyfsu]

Great instruction. I thought QAYG included sewing backing too. Yours is great quality though. As a beginner I think I need to do it all at once. I just got jelly rolls yesterday. I think I'll make placemats to start. Using your style. I like your jelly roll better! Thanks for the video

Thank you Kimberly for all the great and easy projects. I have a Ugly Sweater Panel, maybe you could do a video on making it into a wall hanging or a tablerunner.

[@mandyadams918]

Hi Kimberley I love you qayg table runner - would you consider doing a simple quilt tutorial, using strips, following this method?

[@gracepatane9384]

Beautiful runner, & a great Jelly Roll, to get two colorways in one roll!! I also love that the batting comes precut for a table runner. Makes everything go together so easy. Beautiful job, Kimberly! P.S. What machine were you using? Sounded pretty bad! That squeak would drive me crazy!!

[@AChickandaDuck]

I have the same machine (Juki 2010Q) and my walking foot squeaks like that sometimes too. A few drops of oil fixes it.

[@lauriet6962]

I have done this before but added the backing at the same time, so all of it is quilted when I'm finished piecing. Could you show this technique, also? And, I would love to see you do Quilt As You Go blocks, especially including joining the blocks together. Thanks for all you do!

[@katoz97]

Same for me. I didn't think it was QAYG if all the layers weren't included. Who knew!

[@redders6858]

I’m so glad you said this as I’m new to quilting and it was confusing me why the backing wasn’t included in the quilt as you go.

[@NicoleHenryRolls]

Maybe you would omit the backing if you would want to do custom free motion quilting?

[@denisepineda1788]

Great idea

[@ScrapYourStory]

[@donnarichey144]

The 28 weight heavy thread? Its so pretty. Thank you

[@tigerlily9051]

Love this tutorial! Are the feed dogs up or down when you sewed?

[@septemberbaby0903]

Feed dogs are up .. you only lower them when you free motion quilt, with your FMQ foot .. Kimberly used a walking foot, so feed dogs were up. Hope that helps!

@@FatQuarterShopTX Thank you so much!

[@beverleybrowning3480]

This is great for newbies and I also love to watch for any tips. Just a comment tho: I like to spray baste as it saves time and you don't have to fuss with pins. I tried that 505 only once - Nasty stuff (smelly, hard to reposition, sticks to your hands, ugh!). June Taylor makes a good one with no smell and don't need much. It is however expensive so I only buy 1/2 price on sale. Found a less expensive one on Amazon.ca called SprayNBond - no smell and works almost as well. Kim at Chatterboxquilts.com has a recipe to make starch that is great and she says can use it for basting as well. (I make 3 batches at a time which fills 2 1/2 x 32 oz bottles and spray the back of material and let dry, then iron) but still have to try to use it for basting on a table runner first)!

[@tracyj4439]

Thank you!

[@deniseguidry3763]

Do you have to use different weight thread for the quilting?

[@brendaryan306]

Good color-coordinating/dressing for your project. LOL Why didn't you add a backing that could also be quilted at the same time?

[@Candyfsu]

Do you have a video to show us beginners how to add borders to smaller projects like mug mats, placemat, table runner? It would be greatly appreciated.

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Candyfsu! Here is a tutorial that shows you how to add borders to a smaller project: kzbin.info/aero/PLNTabBf7OG9LrwvEpY8OwtypRcJhPsNga

I’m excited to try this! Would you be able to let me know the measurements for the batting if I’m not able to find the precut table runner size? Thanks so much!!!

[@beverleybrowning3480]

I was wondering the same thing. For runners I usually use leftovers from quilts and use joining tape if needed. I tried to find it on the Hobbs website but couldn't.

[@beverleybrowning3480]

Oops- I thought Kim said Hobbs batting but I see she uses "Happy Cloud" and sell it at Fat Quarter Shop. It says 19" x 55"

[@frauleingermany4435]

Does not using a backing when quilting as you go. Do you get heavy fuzz in the bobbin area?

[@nancylaws5659]

Could you have layered the backing on and then sewed the strips? I’m new to the quilt as you go...? Then squared it up and then bind it?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Nancy! You can try this, however you would really want to adhere the backing well so it doesn't slip or distort as you quilt. I recommend trying it on a smaller project first, like a single quilt block, to see if you want to try it on a longer tablerunner

[@nancylaws5659]

Hi Kimberley, what size needle did you use with your 28 weight thread?

Quilt as you go is with backing at same time as top is done I was taught?????

Hi Linda, it can be done either way 😊

[@mw54470]

I wish you would use your Sasihko machine to do the top stitching! I would love to see the results!!!!!!

[@BA-ef4pr]

For those asking why she didnt sew the back on. If she had cut the strips to the exact length she wouldn't need to cut excess strips. She also could have left the backing and fold the edges over to auto bind it. At least it's what i would have done.

[@jenihansen7201]

I LOVE THIS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. CAN I POSSIBLY DO THIS AND THEN ADD THEM TOGETHER TO MAKE A CALIFORNIA KING QUILT ?????

If I am using scrap batting what is the batting measurement please?

[@RunWithScissorsSewingOriginal]

How wide and long is your batting here?

[@jbluchina]

One side came out perfect. The other side started slanting and was very off line at end. What could be the problem

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Joyce! It is probably slipping when you sew, more pins and a walking foot should help and also sewing slowly.

Nice techniques. It would be nice if you could fast forward some of the repetitive sewing. After one or two strips we get the idea.

[@THEQUILTINGOWL]

what needle is needed for the 28 count thread?

[@KittenBowl1]

I think this isn’t really QAYG. I’ve made quite a few of placemats and some table runners with QAYG before but the point of QAYG is you don’t need to quilt like you did here. It’s a one step process. You put the backing fabric and quilt as you attach a piece of fabric in the initial process. By the time you are done you have backing attached, a quilt insert sandwiched then the top is pieced together. Most QAYG FO doesn’t also have stitch showing in the front. And it’s a nice smooth top without much of stitches showing. I do like to use spay glue (405) on the back a night before to let that dry then I can just quilt all in one process next day. Once I launder them they’re nice and plushy.

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Thank you for the feedback. This was Kimberly's first attempt at quilt as you go so she did what she felt more comfortable with. Here is a different quilt as you go tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZbMkGeip9qjbtk

Why not start sewing on one of the ends

[@joycemoore9172]

If you start in the middle you can sew two strips between ironing.

[@rene6371]

Kimberly! Please oil that poor machine! 😉

[@cherylk3808]

Maybe I don't understand -- if you are going to quilt the entire thing once the backing is added, what was the point of quilting the top to the batting as you pieced it the first place? What does this method accomplish that traditional "piece than sandwich and quilt" method doesn't? Either way, I have to put the whole thing through my machine. I thought the main advantage of quilt as you go was to either save time, or avoid having to wrestle a full quilt through your machine. The method presented here requires putting the whole thing through the machine TWICE. I don't get it. Also, as picky as it may seem, diction is important -- Kimberly continually says "sHtraigt" and sHtrip". There is no "h" in strip or straight.

[@brendal9976]

Even tho you have binding videos on other videos, I would like to see it here on this actual project. All I think is wow, now I have to search for a different video. Not everyone has the mindset to do that. Gives me anxiety. Even just a short tutorial.
