Who cares about the ums... The ums just make u more non-commercial, more normal & relaxed:) You took the time to show us a great technique.. Thanks heaps for sharing:)

[@nicolec4744]

It honestly makes her SO relatable lol. And it's more like you're just hanging out with a friend who's teaching you something rather than a stiff, scripted tutorial.

[@jackietucker8942]

And three years later, still loving your method, and still recommending it to everybody that will listen. This allows people like me to quote all their own quilts if they choose to. Can save a lot of money

[@pattiadams3968]

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. It’s too hard on my back and shoulders to handle a whole quilt on my domestic machine, but I don’t always want sashing. Brilliant!!! Fusible batting is a great idea too. No pins😁

[@marjoriesmith6630]

To all those complaining about the "um's", have you done a video where you have to show your work and explain at the same time. Until you do and you don't have a lot of "um's" be grateful someone is taking the time to show you how do the technique. Also, this is not meant to be a professional presentation and it's free, so........

[@ruthdavenport4133]

Marjorie Smith amen also its her little quirk or habit and we all have those people are too critical

[@HammerT70]

I wonder how many videos the complainers have made? Wait probably none .. therefore they should shut up and sit down.

[@jackietucker8942]

I am still loving using your method. Made my life SO much easier and spending WAY less money on longer services. No real need anymore. Thank you

[@jeanmiskimon4018]

This is fabulous! Exactly what I was looking for. This method never made sense until I saw this video. NOW I can finish my son's quilt. And I LOVE the horn practice in the background. My son's in band, so it brought a smile to my face. I so appreciate your taking the time to create this video. Don't worry about "ums" - I hate when people point that stuff out. Your content is great, and that's what matters!! Thanks, Candy.

[@CandyGlendening]

Hooray, glad it was helpful!!! My life is lived with trombones practicing in the background as both hubby and son #1 are very serious players!

[@rmartin8887]

When attaching more non-fusible batting, you can use fusible tape to put the two pieces of batting together instead of zig-zagging the batting together. So much easier. Just a thought.

[@MyLogHomeLife]

I appreciated Candy’s instruction on how to put it together with non fusible batting as well as her fusible. It helps those who may have non fusible batting they want to use. I also appreciated your response. It helps us all to have different ideas that can fit a particular situation we may find ourselves in.

[@lauraschmidhammer2738]

Thank you for the information. As always, its just what I was looking for. . . . and for those of you with criticism of her think as you go teaching style, I'd suggest you find someone else. Candy is a great source of knowledge that she is generously sharing with you . . . and this is all you can do . . . criticize her style?!?!?!

[@lindarheault4418]

I did not have fusible batting when I started my quilt, but it's coming in the mail tomorrow. What I did use was some spray for basting and it worked pretty well. My quilt has extremely large pieces. I did further anchor my first part with some pins and that was helpful.

[@sallymartinez784]

Way too much criticism in these comments. I thank you for sharing this technique. I am going to try it in my next quilt.

[@lizryan6289]

You can um all you want. The second row is the KEY to a great method for me. Thank you. 💖

[@sunseekerrs3087]

These videos are so helpful! I was trying to figure out how to QAYG a king sized quilt without sashing or hand sewing and this series has helped the most. Thank you so much!

[@kimmcvitty3580]

I know this is a very old video but it us exactly what I need today! Thank you very much. I think I will now be able to make a large quilt on a small domestic machine. I made the blocks years ago then was stuck!

[@twilightvampiresucks]

I got my "aha!" Moment in this video! Wonderful! Thank you. Now to start cutting the squares for the quilt I'm going to try this on. Thank you!

[@siscarmichael2949]

I’ve never used fusible batting, but will try for sure! Thx for the great video.

[@nicolec4744]

It's amazing stuff!

[@helend222]

Wonderful! Thank you. Butting the batting up to the existing edge of quilt is so logical. You have saved me such a lot of work as I thought I had to use sashing.

[@JustFluffyQuiltingYarnCrafts]

Love this video. The use of fusible batting or the zigzag alternative for non-fusible are priceless techniques for me as a novice quilter.

[@theresafinn4257]

Clever. A real plus for fusible batting.

[@janetvisochi-baum7572]

Candy thank you for doing this step by step tutorial. You have helped me a great deal :)

[@CandyGlendening]

Hooray, glad it was helpful!!!

[@nicolec4744]

Oh, I really love the quilting design you did!

[@chareast9997]

this is the way i usually quilt as i go. the tip for zig zagging the batting was a step i wasn't using, but will from now on. thanks for the tip.

[@susanvaccaro1034]

Very helpful to a newbie quag. Thank you so much for making it seem so easy...

[@GrrannyH1]

Thank you for sharing! I am looking forward to trying this!

[@tricia1234gm]

Very Clever. Thank you!! Brilliant idea to zigzag non -fusible Batting.

[@CandyGlendening]

You're welcome, glad it was helpful!!!

[@amandawilliams2266]

Love you quilt! And the way you qayg I'm new so this was helpful thank you candy

[@jeanniepatrick5533]

Thanks for providing an option for using non-fusible batting (which is what I have). The idea from R Martin to use fusible tape is perfect, I have some of that. :-)

[@cherylsirois9149]

Thank you for posting this! Exactly what I was looking for!!

[@Carol-mv4ly]

Thanks for teaching us the technique when you are not using non-stick batting ! :)

[@Saucyakld]

Thank you for demonstrating this so clearly. Now I can join mine! Xx

[@jaceek2030]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this tutorial!!

[@sonisew]

Thanks for sharing! I love this method!

[@cathynuytten798]

Yea! Just the method I need! Thank you thank you ! Genius!

[@CynthiaEmbry]

Wouldn’t it be a cleaner less bulky seam if the batting was cut shorter than the front and back then sewn together .

[@raggedyann4372]

Thank you, great demonstration!

[@katemorgan4346]

I was wondering since I don't use fusible batting (too expensive) instead of zig zag sewing the two batting edges together could I use fusible tap along the seam instead? Love your videos and the way you teach.. so natural and easy to follow. Thank you!

[@menofairy]

Nice way to explain this way to quilt

[@chareast9997]

i didn't mind the umms either. but some info on measurements for the seam allowances would have been nice and next time (i hope there are more in the future) maybe smaller blocks. that would allow us to see more of what you're doing and you won't have to stretch so much. lovely tut and quilt top

[@jgamsky]

Very good tutorial. I've nevr made a large quilt small wall hangings or table runners. I'm sure I'd have trouble quilting it if it was too large. What I'm wondering is could you quilt all the columns and then put them all together?

[@CeeCee1758]

I am sorry, but I am confused. After you trim the side what are you attaching the top and backing to? Do you attach it separately?

[@ArtLenLa]

I wonder if spray basting might eliminate the need for zigzag stitching in non-fusible batting. I'm new to quilt-as-you-go.

[@richintalent]

Seems like a lot more work than it's worth

[@cindydriedger7797]

Have you ever tried to machine quilt a king size quilt on a domestic machine? Trust me, this would be MUCH better.

[@kristensmith9029]

If using none fusible batting couldn't you just add the batting to the sandwich before you stitch them together? So it would go next row face down. Quilted row face up. Second row backing face up and then second row batting.Sew all that then flip it and just trim the batting down in the seam. Just curious.

[@isabelgutierrez6874]

Todo muy bello !

[@cheryllwaldrop9732]

Would it work to have a solid piece for the backing, and just keep the portion you are not working with rolled up under the machine arm? or would it get all puckered and distorted if I tried to do it that way? I like the idea of keeping the back mostly unpieced on the quilt I'm working on. I'm only doing a 3x5 toddler quilt, so maybe it would not be such a big deal either way, but the idea of working in columns like you've done appeals to me.

[@siscarmichael2949]

Can you also demonstrate some of your stitching as well?

[@utahill5685]

That is great!!!

[@Mickey-jn8hz]

Is this fusible on both side?

[@rameshmayasandra2246]

Nice idea

[@booomanchu]

Genius!

[@conniepadilla3055]

I thought qayg was supposed to be easier then traditional quilting you just made it seem so difficult. Sorry this did not help me at all just confused me.

[@sandygrogg1203]

I don't mind the "ums" at all... For Pete's sake, people. This is an interesting tevhniwue, but way too gushy for me.... Enjoyed watching, though.

[@seanasmith6]

Ok I'm trying this and I want to know how you got the seams to line up an the quilted section and the row you are adding I've done it like you said and left a portion unquilted but the next row is way longer and if I line up the seams somewhere there will be a bunch of fabric pleated because of the row being quilted already it has shrunk already ...i prob won't get an answer in time so I'll probably have to just quilt my next section and add shashing this method is not working and can't wrap my head around how to fix this issue

[@CandyGlendening]

I find that pressing the just quilted section relaxes it enough that you can match the seams of the next row, make sure to leave a couple of inches unquilted

[@petmomful2260]

Nice technique, but it almost seems like more work. I am sure once you actually do it, it is not as hard as it looks.

[@spyderquilt9783]

Ack... the most important part of the process is cut off at the bottom. Do you think you can re-record it again?

[@lorriescott2894]

A little hard to follow. The “um” “um” was a little disconcerting. Otherwise pretty good.

[@barbkramer3581]

dear dear Candy, thank you for your tutorial, interesting technique. Just a little constructive critisim, perhaps do a trial run with a friend before recording it and refine the work so that you dont have to Ummm, (thinking) between every movement. Well done and thank you..........barb UK

[@Marla.22]

These are not quilt as you go blocks

[@sandramcmann4720]

Somehow or other I don’t get or just didn’t see what you really did to get it this far. Was all done off screen. Not to impressed with this video. I really hope you do better on the next video... if you do another one. It does look quite interesting though, what I saw of it. So sorry.

[@CandyGlendening]

There are 4 videos in this series, start with the first one!

[@teresadejong3011]

trumpet practise in the background?? Seriously?

[@zoilafuentes4290]

I gat finished my quilt , with my backed on , but my quilt end uneven ,how I can do to finish the edge.

[@zoilafuentes4290]

please replay me to help me,, it took me many months is my second proyect, I knok there is many error,but I need to do the edge,how make if blocks are uneven qith my backing in place.

[@ksharpe8137]

Although I think the method is brilliant I would suggest you try not to say "Umm" so often. If it weren't that it would be a great tutorial! Blessings from a fellow QAYG quilter!

[@janclark1822]

The "ums" were too much and very distracting. Otherwise, great instructions! I've only done QAYG with sashing, but know I won't always want to use sashing.

[@Genjunk84]

To long winded Could be shorter less talking
