Quilt-as-you-go (QAYG) without sashing video tutorial

[@Betsylah]

I am SO HAPPY to have discovered your system...I prefer all over the place hand stitching, and a whole quilt on my lap is just too much. I am very grateful for your tutorial.

[@teresadownunder]

That’s wonderful 😊

[@janmiller1850]

To make the batting trimming a little easier, just overlap the left and right batting pieces, then carefully cut through both layers (making sure you're only cutting batting). Lift away the excess batting you just cut off (from top and bottom pieces) and the cut edges should line up perfectly no matter how not-quite-straight there were cut. Not even a little extra bulk that way. :)

[@teresadownunder]

Great tip! Thank you 🙏

[@janmiller1850]

@@teresadownunder Found it in a book years ago and use this method for joining batting pieces in larger quilts. A bit unwieldy (but doable) in a quilt, it'd be perfect for these QAYG blocks. Thanks for sharing this tutorial. :)

Or waste

[@lucirandall4051]

I've watched this video multiple times. Love how simple you make it look, and yet it's very detailed showing each step "easy peasy". Sometimes sashing just doesn't look right on a quilt - in such that it breaks up the flow of the blocks. This makes it so much easier to quilt on our domestic machines (which usually have such a small throat).

[@teresadownunder]

Glad it was useful 😊😊

[@MarciaBaker1205]

That's the way I was taught a long time ago but I hand sewed everything. Your tutorial is great & shows everything in detail. Beautiful!

[@teresadownunder]

Thank you 🙏

[@marianboncato4027]

Clever! Have done quilt as you go before & sometimes it seems labor intensive. What I like about quilt as you go it, once all the pieces are together the quilt is done!!

[@teresadownunder]

That’s exactly right 👍

[@guadalupeblakey9926]

Love the printed blocks you used to show the birds and the beautiful colors. What a way to use scraps.

[@teresadownunder]

Thank you

[@emmacarpenter4055]

This is great!!!! I love guilt-as-you-go but don't always like sashing in my quilts; can be distracting. Have a project just waiting for these instructions. Bravo!!! Thanks a lots, Teresa, for sharing.

[@teresadownunder]

Happy to help 👍🙏

[@CatalinaPapadia]

I LOVE IT! Thank you! I watched another video with sashing . I lost hope for the quilt as you go technique until I watched your video. Brilliant.

[@teresadownunder]

Wonderful 👏👏👏

[@OpenMind2]

Excellently well demonstrated tutorial without all the long drawn chatter. 👍👏

[@teresadownunder]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rachelkarslake7787]

Thank you! I do not have a large machine and I find sandwiching and quilting the whole thing difficult. I have followed your tutorial for quilting as you go with sashing already. I cannot wait to give this method a try!

[@teresadownunder]

Great 👍

[@lolitanu]

Haces , lo que creemos difícil , fácil ( yo , entre ellas ) , nos aportas ideas y la música tan dinámica y positiva , hacen de tu vídeo , un aporte didáctico estupendo. Me encantas!

[@teresadownunder]

Muchas gracias 🙏

[@elizabethfitzgerald2198]

Thanks so much! I just finished my first free motion quilt with a home sewing machine and it was just so hard to control...and even see as I quilted! Looking for a way to do small chunks at a time and your video is perfect advice!! Can’t wait to get these samplers done with the QAYG recipe. I LOVE the smooth backing effect here, too.

[@teresadownunder]

Great

[@cuteyrupert9483]

Thank you for a great tutorial! I’ve been looking for a way to put my blocks together and quilt but my machine is small and I don’t have a large sewing space so this will be more manageable.

[@teresadownunder]

That’s great 😃

[@rachelmurguia9874]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have always wanted to try quilt as you go but never saw a well explained video. You have really shown how to do it well. By the way, I love your book and enjoy looking through it for inspiration.

[@teresadownunder]

Fantastic, thank you

[@GinnyGibbs]

Thank you. I have seen similar videos with NO hand sewing, but they didn’t explain how to leave the edges unquilted and sew the front of the blocks together. I think I would combine their method and yours, plus zigzag the trimmed batting together after butting up the edges.

[@teresadownunder]

👍

[@margaretlowans8429]

Thank you. I've been wanting to do a quilt-as-you-go for a while now but the joining of the blocks was always so complicated. Your demo took the difficulty away for me.

[@teresadownunder]

Fantastic

[@Suebeebun]

Just the video I've been looking for. Thank you so much. Beautiful blocks!

Excelente idea de acolchado en forma individual,ideal para las que no tenemos máquinas de coser con brazo largo, ya que es muy difícil hacer un acolchado para cama,por ejemplo. Un alivio para la columna. Gracias por tan buena idea. Desde Argentina, felices fiestas en paz.

Thankyou for this tutorial. I have gorgeous blocks to join together and sashing was just going to ruin the look of the quilt. This method will work perfectly.

[@chriswhite8984]

This is a great video, thank you, but can you tell me if it matters what kind of batting you use, I like wool, but not sure if it would work with that, is a fusible batting better?

[@teresadownunder]

I use cotton batting but wool should work fine

[@suestutzle2779]

This is a great idea. I'm thinking this method would go well with your Holland Tulip paper piecing pattern, which I love.

[@teresadownunder]

It would. I would do the quilting in groups of 4 or in rows

[@veronicamorrison193]

Instead of hand sewing the batting together, why couldn't you use fusible batting tape? That would at least eliminate part of the hand sewing which I really dislike. Thanks for the video.

[@teresadownunder]

I really like hand sewing, it’s relaxing and I don’t like adhesives but if you don’t mind why not?

[@debranelson2640]

WOW! I’ll never do it another way!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️Thank you tons, gobs, oodles!xo

[@laurienash6854]

Just wondering how this would work with backing that has a pattern - I really want to try this but don't want to lose my pattern, might complicate things! Suggestions as to how to manage this?

[@teresadownunder]

You can fussy cut your fabric to avoid losing a lot of your pattern

[@guadalupeblakey9926]

Hi. So far like this way of joining my(havent made one yet but getting ready to) QAYG But is ther a way to avoid he stitching. Arthritis in my hands makes it too hard to do. I do like the no strips dividing the blocks. Help.

[@teresadownunder]

This is another way to do qayg without sashing kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2mWfGt_rteIbNE

[@nishavalverde214]

Can we just sew it with a machine?

[@teresadownunder]

I suppose you can.

[@Colleen527]

Every one shows joining part one to part but its the first time i have seen joining bottom row top row, that was so confusing to me, they all said just do the same as first row when joining to second row. But i was confused when joined the 4 together what happened at + center what part do cut. In this video you show it very clearly so thank you now i can finish my quilt

[@teresadownunder]

That’s great 😀👍 glad to hear it was useful

[@kittyklash1215]

How will it look like if I sew the filling as well with the machine? I'm trying to avoid bumps in it

[@teresadownunder]

Do you mean instead of sewing by hand? It should be ok.

[@donnarichey144]

Can I machine sew instead of the hand sewing, I have problems with my hands and I want it to be a quilt that can be used and used. Thanks.

[@teresadownunder]

You can try

[@njame2137]

You can use something like marti Mitchell tape to join the batting/ wadding then machine sew the backing but check where stitching will show

[@IWH777]

BY ANY CHANCE DO YOU HAVE A VIDEO LIKE THIS ONE BUT WITH HEXIE BLOCKS??? TYI BLESSINGS & BE HOPE FILLED FRANKI

[@glendahargrave417]

I’m doing this in queensize. 110 squares. The first row is completed. I’ve got the other 10 rows stitched together, batting done and about ready to start sewing the backing down on each row. I did this on first row already. Now after reviewing, if I put the first two rows together, the backing is sewed all the way to the edge. I can not attach the rows together without ripping out from the front fabric thru all layers from edge to start of the inch on front fabric so I can attach each row. Now I’m stuck. Not sure how to do the other 10 rows snd then connect rows.

[@teresadownunder]

Hi, sewing the rows together is no different from sewing the individual blocks. I can’t picture your problem. Can you please send me a picture via Instagram or upload it to my Facebook group please

[@susandixon848]

Why cant you piece your sections first, do all the sewing on the machine then add the backing and batting. In sections..it seems like the hand sewing and some of the cutting could be eliminated.
