The Missing Link-Can't find a particular QAYG method
I had it once but don't know where it is now. This method is for tops that are already put together. The backing is in one piece too. The batting is cut in maybe three pieces? When the batting is cut it is done in an uneven wavy line. That piece is sandwiched in then that section is quilted. Next the top is pulled back, backing smoothed out, probably clamped down and the next section of batting is butted up against the first. Then that section is quilted, and so on. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I think I remember enough to do it if I can't find the video but I would feel a bit better if I could find it. Thanks to anyone that can help.

Don't have a video link, but have used this method in the past. You don't have to cut the batting in a wavy line. If you have ever pieced batting before, just use that same method to join the next section. You can butt the 2 pieces together, whip stitch by hand, use a wide machine zig zag or use some of that fusible made for this purpose. Just think about which method you will use and leave enough unquilted so you can accomplish it. Also, make sure you keep the unsandwiched portion of the top & backing out of the way when you quilt!

Is this the technique you are thinking of? It uses a straight-line cut for the batting, but you could also use a wavy line. However, this is not for a quilt top that is already completely put together; it is for joining blocks without sashing.

A different method which I have used is to cut the batting into thirds using a wavy line. This is appropriate for completely finished quilt tops. In this case, you quilt the middle third of the quilt first. If you use this method, I strongly recommend marking your batting with registration marks along the wavy lines (so you can put the batting back together the way it was). It can also help to mark the top of each batting piece. I'll try to find some online tutorials for this method:

I originally found this method in a book by Debra Wagner. There are some tutorials on the quilt board here for this method too. I will see if I can find them. (Edit: Sorry, couldn't find tutorials with photos on the board. Just found this thread: Quilt-As-You-Go: Pros & Cons?? )

That method and a few others are detailed in this book

Seeing as you can pick it up used for basically the price of shipping, I consider it a good resource to have in your quilt book library.

Ladies I thank you soon much for the quick responses. I just knew some of you would know what I was referring to. I really wanted to get this quilt started and finished, well at least started before Christmas. Such a great group here.

It was in a Craftsy class. I used this method to quilt a king size top and it definitely helped reduce the bulk I had to work with. I think it was Quilting Big Projects on a Small Machine with Ann Petersen. Hope this is what you are looking for.
