I am making a lap quilt and using flannel for the backing. I am hand quilting and have to do it quickly. What do you think is the maximum distance apart that I can get away with quilting it. It will be used by an adult. Because of the speed involved it will be basic quilting.Thanks

Check the batting package. It will tell you how far apart you can quilt.

I think whatever you feel confortable with.

If you need to hurry, try tying it.
|
Most important- check the batting package to see how far apart they recommend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think you need to worry about it-just quilt as far apart as you want. The quilting is to keep the batting from shifting and if you have no batting, there's no shifting.

I know this is going to sound silly. Do you tie it literally. that is do a few stitches and then tie it off. I have heard of it before but never seen it done.

I haven't tied, but in making quilts with flannel backing, no batting, I just did an X or what ever....in the center of each block. Worked up fast & nothing there to shift around. Flannel is very warm,batting wasn't needed.
