To mark the centre I put a Quilters safety pin in the middle of the back and one in the middle of the top so you can match them up when making the sandwich. Make sure to remove, especially the one on the back as you can't see it when quilting.

I put a batting out of the package into the dryer for a little while to flatten the wrinkles.

Linda Rae Arms: that's a great idea... but I don't think it would work on fusible batting. Which, of course, is NOT what Gina used here, but just saying, something to remember for those of us who like to use fusible batting rather than the 505 spray.

Wow, I’ve watched multiple quilting tutorial videos and none have mentioned the batting having a front and back when talking about basting. Good to know, thanks!

Excellent video, thank you. (It's so much more work than non-quilters think, isn't it? And this was just a tiny baby quilt!) :-)

Great job Gina! You make this look so easy. Folding to help mark the center of the backing and batting is what I plan on trying next time.

FYI. Basting: using temportary large length stiches meant to temporarily hold together. Basting stiches are meant to be removed, there are usually no knots and can use contrasting color threads for easier visibilty. It does not only apply to quilting; Pressing: applying heating element, such as an iron, to a spot which has the footprint of the iron, and apply pressure, there may be mangles which keep fabric stationary. Do movement of iron, no gliding; Ironing: moving heated iron over cloth to remove wrinkles as one glides across the area.

Quilt on my home sewing machine, that is funny! I tried to take in the waist band of a pair of pants and the needle jams down in the material, I struggle to release it and force it to keep sewing and it breaks it's needle. I guess I struck out on "home sewing machines". No way my machine will sew more than 4 layers of cloth, sometimes not even 4 layers.

Where do we trim extra fabric and batting? I would like to save as much as I can. Can I scoot the quilt to one side or does it all need to be centered? Thanks. I have a lot of extra on sides.
@FatQuarterShopTX3 жыл бұрын
Hello Greer! As long as you have the recommended 5" extra of batting and backing on each side of the quilt (10" extra total on length and width) you can put your quilt anywhere you want.

Hello Mickey! It will only shrink if it is washed before being quilted.

I haven't been able to figure out from any of the videos.. does the center seam go vertical or horizontal? Could someone let me know which is the best. Thank you!
@FatQuarterShopTX3 жыл бұрын
Hello Dianne! Typically, we like doing horizontal seams on the backing when we can, but it's not a hard and fast rule. In this quilt, it does not matter much because the quilt is square. If using a longarm quilter to quilt, it's a good idea to see if they have a preference on the backing seam. Some do and some don't!

After pinning do you baste around the outside edge ?

M lomsdalen it depends, if I do straight line, I wait until I’m done, but if I do fmq then I baste first. I explain the reasons in my straight line video. Thanks for watching 😍🧵✂️
