QAYG: did you know.....
#1
that QAYG (quilt as you go) requires hand sewing?!! ... :( .... Arrrrggghhhh!! I took a class on Saturday and, aghast, find out that it requires hand sewing! Betrayed, that's how I feel!! BETRAYED!!! :? :? ..(We need a symbol for "tongue in cheek" kidding.)
:| I thought I would be learning a new technique that would save time. Guess it does, to a point. But, hand sewing? They tell me to do it while watching tv. Nooooooo, that's my time for yarn work, computer games, etc. Ugh.
Okay, vent over. I feel better now that I've warned everyone. Spread the word. I'm relying on you! ;)

The QAYG workshop I took last spring does NOT require hand quilting! Sew the seams so they face the top, then machine stitch strips of ribbon, bias tape, extra-large ric-rac, etc. over the tops of the seams.

I saw a demo of "Fun and Done" another way to do QAYG and there is no hand work. I didn't look up any sites but I'm sure there are demos here on the Board or by searching for Fun and Done on the internet.

I HATE handwork. I refuse to hand bind my quilts as well. I'm all about using the machine...I mean I it cost a lot of money, I might as well get the use out of it. :)
We had a class on QAYG and they used bias tape as well to connect all the pieces. It looked really easy. You might be able to find another method.
