QUILT AS YOU GO: QUILTING AND ATTACHING BORDERS WITH SASHING

Quilt As You Go: Quilting and Attaching Borders with Sashing. There are many different methods of quilt as you go. In this tutorial, I teach you how to quilt and attach your borders using sashing strips. This is the most common method of quilt as you go.
I like to use my machines decorative stitches when I use the quilt as you go method. I feel like it gives my quilts more character than when I do traditional quilting.
In this tutorial I cut my front strip 1" and my back strip at 2". I ironed the 2" strip in half. That is a common practice for using strips using the quilt as you go method and I honestly can't tell you why. My guess is that it gives more stability and strength to the quilt. I hope you enjoy this method of quilting.
Crafting made fun and easy! Join me as I teach you how to make beautiful crafts and quilts using different techniques.
I get a lot of questions regarding the sewing machine that I am using. The machine that I am using is a Janome 9400 QCP.

[@michelleterry5540]

That is very pretty I like your step by step tutorial on adding borders

[@carolgreen2334]

I'm watching your video to help me finish my project. I ran into some issues, but your video has helped a lot. Thank-you!!!

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

Carol- I am so happy that my videos were able to help you! ❤️

[@michaelamoore3355]

Love your style. Similar to mine😊

[@patriciapowell6100]

Enjoyed the video.

[@dianneme6266]

Hi Anisa. I'm a little behind but I really enjoyed watching your steps for this quilt. Pretty clear and you make it look easy. Thanks so much! Warm hug for your loss. :)

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

Thank you, Dianne! ❤️

[@audreyderby7638]

Great tutorial. I do my joining in reverse….I.e. 1” I back, 2” folded in the back. I sew squares, or quilt rows, back to back. I then fold the 2” on front. It gives me a narrow trim. No hand sewing. Lol. Thanks for taking time to demonstrate

[@ericabates5361]

Hello, love the Colourful Quilt 💜💙💚 & your quilting is beautiful you did on it 😁 💕 Erica x

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

Thank you 😊

[@virginiadiscon506]

Great Video

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

Thank you, Virginia ❤️

[@luanneedwards8846]

Would love to see more of u putting the boarders on I am trying to learn quilt as u go but need to know how to make the quilt larger

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

Luanne- I will be doing another border video, but the process is the same for adding all of the borders. 😊

[@chickadoodledesigns9143]

Question. When attaching blocks with sashing, why is the top a different size than the bottom?

[@ellenpowell4155]

Do the 1” n 2” strips for QAYG method need to be bias or will straight of grain strips work fine?

[@ericabates5361]

Hello, I am a Totally New Beginner to Quilting 😁 & actually only made some scrap string blocks 😁 & just made My Very First Project using 6 HST blocks table runner 💕 by MSQC called the flickering starlight reversible table runner 😁 & recently looked in my local small fabric shop & online for me in the UK. & Batting here is Polyester 😦 I cannot seem to find cotton batting or cotton 80% polyester 20%. Which for most US tutorials that is used. But thank you got some great tips from you today 💜 Erica x

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

Erica- I am so excited for your new quilting journey. Yes, most of us in the US use cotton batting. However, polyester batting works as well. Don’t let that discourage you from quilting. 😊

[@audreyderby5926]

Is your batting cut narrower than sashing and borders?

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

Hi Audrey- Yes. But not by much. Just about 1/4". 😊

[@nancyschaffer7568]

What do you clean your iron with when u get glue on it?

[@audreyderby5926]

Great videos! I put the 1” strip on the BACK and folded 2” strip on the FRONT. It turns out the same as what you’re doing, so it doesn’t seem to matter. I have a problem when adding TWO borders, first narrow one (2-3 inches), then 6”. I pre-quilt the 6” but add batting to the narrow one as I add it. Is there a better way? I need the extra 4-6 inches (each side) to make quilt large enough for a queen sized bed!

[@audreyderby5926]

My narrow border is wider than my sashing. As stated, I need the extra width/length. I also use the wider, folded sash/border on the FRONT, not the back...looks good. Only gives a narrow sashing, but when wider, it needs batting

[@audreyderby5926]

I use 505 in place of glue?

[@audreyderby7638]

Intro says border (and sashing?)

[@audreyderby5926]

One inch....wrong side down? Thank you

[@terricole-mcardle7242]

What kind of baby lock machine do you have?

[@nonyabizness.original]

wouldn't it be easier to manage if you made the borders you want, attached them together, mostly bound them, and then attached to the quilt all at once? instead of struggling with the whole quilt over and over?

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

You could definitely do it that way. Finding what works best for you is the key. 😊

[@lindaweitman8564]

Hi how are you guys doing?

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

Hi Linda- We’re doing okay. How are you?

[@lindaweitman8564]

@@TheCraftyAuthor I'm doing good too.

[@nancyschaffer7568]

Where did you get your background fabric for this quilt?

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

Nancy- I purchased my background fabric from Hobby Lobby.

[@nancyschaffer7568]

@@TheCraftyAuthor thanks, I'll look the next time I get to one.

[@audreyderby5926]

Apparently, spray 505, etc., should. E sprayed on batting, NOT your fabric
