My husband when you said "Domestic sewing machine" "The existence of a domestic sewing machine suggests the existence of Feral sewing machines..." I laughed for a while so I thought yall might giggle too.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

LOL…there are commercial machines

[@LynnNexus]

@@JustGetitDoneQuilts Oh I know, He's just making jokes :D

[@janiewilliams5803]

Thought your husband's comment was so funny I shared it with my husband. He laughed and said, "Quilters of the Serengeti!"

[@LynnNexus]

@@janiewilliams5803 Oh I like that for sure! ^_^

[@beverlyhovatter2302]

At my age, I can strip but flipping may be too much. Just a little humor from a 78 year old. Love you videos.

[@LCmonman]

😂😂😂

[@RoseJensen-pm1lj]

I learned this method on my very first quilt. I made a throw for my mom. Had it bound, ready to gift, and she mentioned she needed a new king size comforter for their queen bed. Off came the binding, and on went borders. Luckily the throw was almost exactly the same size as the top of the mattress, and the borders look like they were planned for the drop! A really good technique to have!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

🎉🎉🎉

[@Beverly2020]

I love this idea. This eliminates the look of potholders sewn together like the only QAYG method I know. Thank you!!

[@maryhodge2625]

This is not just a good Quilt As You Go video. It's a wonderful pattern just for using up strips. Thank you!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you

[@juliemorrison4348]

Totally different method than I had imagined when you said "strip and flip" Karen. Great way to use all those scraps.👍♥️🇦🇺

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

One day I should do a video on 10 Quilty terms that sound dirty

[@AChickandaDuck]

Reminds me of the classic quilting book by Eleanor Burns, “Still Stripping After 25 Years” 🤣

[@swiinka]

I am so grateful to you & other quilting YTers for sharing QAYG videos! After drooling over various quilts on Pinterest for months I wanted to try quilting myself, but the idea of putting such huge chunks of fabric together on my kitchen table was rather petrifying. Thank you so much for this.

[@joannbanks5556]

I use my serger to sew these flip and stitch sections together. Very quick assembly. Sometimes I use minky remnants for the back sections.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

You ask for it. Here is another Quilt-as-you-go video. This is a really used method to know so be sure to watch to the end. Thank you Birch Living for sponsoring!

Premier Pro has given me so much grief this week. I'm hoping that the update solves the problem.

[@jo-annevandermey2704]

This is just brilliant Karen! You continue to amaze me with the depth and variety of your quilty knowledge.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

🤗🤗🤗

[@barbarastefani254]

Over the years you have helped me so much can’t thank you enough for all you’ve done

[@MissDFitz]

I'm really loving this series

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

🤗🤗🤗

[@amberliddell4503]

Same here 😊

[@sarahtilly1293]

I really love the fact that at the end you said you could do it to add on to a short quilt or one that someone has just outgrown. I had thought about this before, but never attempted it because I thought well that’s got to be wrong or somebody would’ve done it by now. I should’ve tried it, but now that you say it’s OK, I guess I will!

[@leaht4505]

This is such a great quilt. Thanks for the very detailed tutorial💖I am going to give it a try!

[@briony660]

I really love this video. I am a very beginner quilter and quite daunted by the whole quilt sandwich thing. I have sewn a couple of quilt tops together and they have turned out bigger than Ben Hur size. Consequently that's as far as they have got and will probably stay that way now. Will give this QAYG method a go as it makes so much more sense. I LOVE your colours and layouts. Thanks from Australia.

[@arteastquiltingco]

I gasp every time I see the quilt on your bed, it’s so beautiful!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you 😊

[@sharonmacintyrebarrett8572]

I gasp as well they are so beautiful. So colorful..! I love her videos.

[@racheloreilly8653]

Thanks for your videos. I was curious about the magnets or weights you used for cutting long strips

[@merryhill4790]

Great video, I have a longarm but occasionally like to make small quick projects on the sewing machine, this is a great method for them. Thanks, loved the beautiful quilt.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Wonderful!

[@maplecountry4230]

Thank you! Thank you! I have been looking forward to this video! I’ll watch it soon! So excited!🥰

[@nancyely9503]

Karen, I love your videos. You are so informative and helpful. Thank you💖

[@joannjerabek2691]

Thank you for sharing this technique. I can’t wait to try it. Your videos are awesome.

[@pennyobrien5641]

When I first heard of our saw this method, I got a little overzealous and made A BUNCH of blocks with only the top and the batting. Now I don't know how to fix them. Any ideas? I would appreciate the help, because I'm anxious to get on with it.

[@laurallh4874]

I love your videos!! So inspiring. My 10 y/o son loves to sew. I was looking for a method that he and I could tag team. This might be it. Thank you!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

That is awesome!

[@Janet-in-the-attic]

Love how this quilt turned out! Will be referring back to this tutorial

[@KatWalkie]

You are awesome!! I made a picnic quilt following one of your videos and love it!! It was a crazy quilt using fat quarters!!!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Nice

[@diannewhite9848]

Thanks Karen, I just started using leftover fabrics to make a throw quilt for my daughter. I'm going to use QAYG method. Keep making great tutorials ❤1🧵🪡🎉

[@sandramyer7081]

I don't know i can do the flipping technique, either but I'll try having my stroke can may it "difficult" new ideas, techniques and words, too- - dunno yet but , I'll try😅

[@sandramyer7081]

Btw, im 77 yrs old and i love your instructions and videos, too!!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Just take it slow Sandra. No need to rush.

[@glynisreynolds446]

Love this method 😃 When I was just starting to quilt this was easier to manage 👍 Thanks for reminding me 👏👏🇬🇧

[@carmenbailey1560]

Fantastic, a row by row quilt is on my list of want to do. Thanks for sharing the possibilities. 👍❤️😊

[@sheilacarroll7143]

I love the pattern for this QAYG tutorial. 💖 Thank you for sharing. 😊🌹🍁🍃

[@heathl32]

Also when cutting WOF, start the cut on the FOLDED side. This will help prevent wiggles that are unrecoverable as the open edges are easier to re-align.

[@karentzn]

Another excellent tutorial Karen. Thank you. Awesome and less unnecessary bulk

[@DinaTata]

Thank you for this video. Not only does this quilt help us get rid of scraps that we never knew what to do with, I feel that this will be great fun and help me develop my quilting skills, as I’m not very advanced, because it helps me with the ‚3D-thinking‘ as I like to call it. And it’s doable and will look good even if it’s not 1000% perfect, that’s the fun of the pattern. Thank you for the useful tips Madame😊

[@cc83jc85]

Another wonderful video about more scrappy bits…I have so many I’ve been tidying them up at home! Pity we’re away caravanning!

[@helenmorgan4003]

I love this method have used it for charity quilts, for my stitchin the layers together I use my surger then back to machine to do the quilting.

[@roxywood5278]

Karen, you are the BEST !! Thank you for everything you do for us .... Hugs & luv

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you

[@GeoWhiz287]

Finally -- a Quilt As You Go design that I actually want to make! Thank you for including the info for different sizes!

[@lindalosier5989]

Now my brain swirling with ideas. Great tutorial!!! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@sue8319]

This was a super informative video. You offered rationales for batting and squaring up many thanks, waving to you from Michigan.

[@wilycat5290]

What a great design 🎉. The QAYG method is very appealing. Thanks for the video 😊

[@liz.mcdonough]

Karen, as I am doing your declutter challenge 2024, I came across a quilt where I have already sewn the blocks in strips. It is King size. I am going to use the Strip and Flip method you show. My question is will 1/2” stitches make the quilt too stiff? Can it be stitched at 1” instead? Thank you so much for your wonderful videos.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Yes 1" will work too

[@Piglady1983]

Your videos are so thorough & interesting, while being calm & straight forward. Thank you for excellent instruction on all things Quilt! 🥰☕️

[@amyanderson6746]

For true quilt as you go, I would sew the strips directly onto the batting and backing.

[@elisedutton9284]

I love all of your videos!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to make them!! My question is about the quilt right at the end of your video when you talk about the recepient having a growth spurt. I love the scrappy look of the quilt, I think you just put random sized and shaped pieces of fabric together. Did you make a standard size block? Could you explain or is there a video you did on that quilt ? Thank you!!!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

I work with a braid that finishes at 12 inches but it easily could be up to 15” or 6” but 12 was the sweet spot for my stash

[@elleirby3340]

Aaah - this is so cool! And I haven’t finished the last quilt-as-you-go idea! But I have always loved French braid quilts, and this just is too fun!

[@kwatson5451]

Awesome technique! Wonderful tutorial. 😊

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Glad you liked it!

I am very new to quilting, love your videos! Thank you! ❤

They are from Sewtites

Thanks... this is what I wanted to know too! Loved this video Karen 😊

[@amandastratton8242]

Thank you for your free download and a great way to stitch and flip a quilt x I will have to read it a few times to get the steps right but I know I will enjoy making some for our young people leaving care homes xx

Thank you for sharing this process. The video is very helpful.

Thankyou Karen! This looks like a great way to make a small project quickly. Time for this old dog to learn a new trick!

[@bandbagility]

09/20/23 10:00am I love this quilt as you go! I am working on a 2.5” strip quilt. It is 68”x80”. Can this method be used on a quilt this long? Do you have in suggestions or things I should look out for? Thank you Jannessa

[@user-rb1em8tt7g]

I'm excited to try the Strip & Flip QAYG. I do have a question...at about 13 minutes into the video when you trim the finished quilted strip and sew on the next front and back strips...my question is...in those layers is a 1/4" of the batting from the previous quilted strip? Is that correct?

[@darleenross710]

Never fails. I always learn something to make my quilt better or easier to make. Thank you, Karen.

[@emilyhunter4082]

Love it! Thank you, Karen! This is another great way use scraps and quilt as you go. I'm certainly going to try this one. 🎉

[@nardal1604]

❤ Karen...this technique is FANTASTIC 🤩.... will be employing this method to complete 2 of my unfinished quilts 🎉...thank you

What a great ideal for QAYG. It looks easier than I have seen in other videos. Thanks for sharing

[@cherylbrown4058]

Really great and simple directions to do this! Thanks.

[@laurasnook353]

Do you need to do 1/2" quilting or could it be 3/4" or even 1" between quilt lines?

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

You can make it whatever size you want 😎

[@lynnbean7200]

fantastic tutorial. Thank you.

[@wadebrodsky9698]

What are these magnets you're using, Quilt Momma? I would love to have these and cannot find them online. Hellllp!

[@susanmei9980]

⭐️Cutting lengthwise grain fabric strips begins at 10:00 minutes. (Slow it down and watch 3 x. 😂)

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

You don't iron your strips before you sew them?

[@debbiewood7718]

It never occured to me to make a quilt bigger after it was finished. That is great information to keep in the back of my mind.

[@leerobs1118]

Hi from South Africa 🇿🇦 wow thanks so much for your details on how to keep it "straight", I did a QAYG and it went a little off. It's doesn't look bad, actually adds a little unintended creative flair. I did a double putting the block in the middle and working both ways. There is a YT video I was inspired by. Thanks again❤ keep well 😊

[@BeatrisSews]

I learned so much from this one video! I am excited to try the basting powder as I live in a place where I can't go outside to spray baste when I need to all the time. Great method that makes so much sense. You've demonstrated it so simply! I'm excited to try it and see where else I can apply this technique!

[@barbaraa4222]

Terrific tutorial! How do you like the magnet rulers? Thanks for the inspiration you continually supply to your viewers.

[@barbarajefferysings]

I was giing to so this to enlarge a king sized quilt I had made for my sister. But when I went to visit her, she had changed her color scheme, and, once again, the project I apwnt so much time, effort and minet on endes up in the closet.😢

[@conniegreen4337]

What batting do you recommend for this technique? I know cotton would work but would 80/20? I'd be concerned that wool would get squished by the iron & that polyester would melt.

[@catherineaschenbrenner6270]

You are wonderful thank you I need directions for my daughters Christmas quilt!

[@jennyharris2993]

Too complicated for my brain

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Don’t worry about the braid. Just understand the technique

[@Sweetest_of_Seven]

We absolutely LOVE our Birch mattress… got it about 3 years ago. Now that the luxe version is available I’m tempted to upgrade. 🤗

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Wonderful!

[@ramonapoticher3439]

How long are the strips…I heard you say the width can vary as long as the opposite side in the pair is the same…. But how long should we cut them?

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

It depends on how wide you want your block to be

[@ramonapoticher3439]

@@JustGetitDoneQuilts I watched again and I get it now…. Finished two braids! About to start the QAYG

[@karens1967]

Thank you for yet another great video.

[@sherriejohnson508]

Thank you this looks great and such great ideas

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

You are so welcome!

[@irinawalker3223]

Why is the backing fabric and batting cut ½” wider.? With the method you demonstrate , you would assume that the front and back fabric would be cut the same size, unless you assuming that after quilting, the back fabric and batting shrinks. But if you use the fusible glue, it should not change size.

[@SHenry-ez2rq]

I really enjoy your videos. I have a question for you. How much fabric should I allow for shrinkage of flannel lining? I appreciate your help on this.

[@angiesewtherapy6628]

This is an awesome video. Thank you so much. I've been struggling with curves/elbows in long strips and never thought about putting a ruler in them to make them nestle up to the other. I use a Stripology ruler to cut strips but they are only a straight add getting both folds to align.

[@juliajones5948]

When you sew the lines do you keep sewing in the same order?

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

If you mean direction, i do

[@deborahstrickland3523]

Thank you. I am sewing a similar pattern this weekend, so very grateful for your tutorial today.

[@liz.mcdonough]

Karen, this is wonderful. I have so many blocks unassembled because I have no idea how they need to be quilted and I don’t live in an area where there is a long arm quilter. I would like for you to show this technique with on-point blocks. I’m sure it can be done the same way. Thank you so much for this and all your videos.

[@CatherineDoucette]

How are you liking your sew tites cutting system?

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Love it. Don’t know how I managed without it

Tons

[@leslye7606]

First of all, I must say I love your glasses, they make your face pop! I like this technique, clean and simple. I have a too short quilt, I may try this on.

[@julias.8236]

Great method and as you mentioned very good for row quilts. I'm tempted to give that method a try (but first two other quilts to be processed...) 😅

[@ginaolive4853]

Have you ever tried to use your adding machine strips in this method? Alternating with solid fabrics perhaps?
