Quilt as You go sucess
I have never been sucessfull with quilting on my home machine , and as I live in the UK sending a quilt out is well nigh impossible due to the prices , sooooo I have been trying a squillion ways to learn how to quilt as you go .I have come across this video on you tube by Lindee G , its the answer to my prayers , it shows a rather gorgeous baby quilt which is embroidered , but after that bit it shows the easiest (well to me anyway):)way of QAYG, I tried it on orphan blocks of all different sizes and it works every time , and best of all , no fiddling about folding and cutting and hand sewing (yak)
I hope this might interest some who are thinking of using this method. Regards Kathryn |
sounds great. i'm doing a few blocks now myself and will make it into a wall hanging. One day i'll do a large quilt.

Do you have a link to the video?
|
I've just done a search and can't find it either. I would be very interested too.
|
I would post a direct link if I knew how but I found it by going to Google and typing in.....It's a Girl Fast Quilt As You Go Embroidered Quilt and the you tube listing came up. It does look simple and the quilt is very cute.

I just finished a quilt as you go quilt (pictures in the picture section- thread says something about Shadow Trapunto).
I didn't necessarily find it any easier to do than a regular quilt- putting it all together was difficult, it just moved the difficulty (the wadding of the quilt to get it thruogh the machine) to another step. It is a tool I'll keep in my arsenal, but it won't solve all problems for me. Only if I want that look. |

Thanks Gladys,I will definately try that method.

I found this tutorial very helpful. http://maureencracknellhandmade.blog...-tutorial.html She quilts the top and batting squares, sews them together then adds the backing with stitch in the ditch to hold the layers together.

Sorry about not posting the link , my techie knowledge does not venture that far :)but I hope it benefits someone :)
