Here's the link to the one on our own board. It's lengthy, but has good pictures and lots of questions answered!

[QUOTE=narnianquilter;5879212]am looking for a good tutorial on QAYG, preferably not a video. Any ideas? I get the main concept, but the final step of closing up the backing is what is confusing me. I would really like one that is a completely machine stitched, instead of having to hand stitch anything. Thanks![/QUOTE This is my favorite.

This is a method that I came up with. It will not work on all quilt patterns. I like to use it on block's that you would like to put a shashing strip on all 4 sides. Piece your block. Cut backing and batting same size as block. Quilt. Doing one row at a time, take 2 blocks and butt them togather real close but no over lapping. Zigzag them togather. Turn the block over doing the back first using seambinding, [I make my own to match the backing] and stitch on each side covering the zigzaz stitches. On the front of the block do the same, covering the stitches from the back so they don't show on the front. When all the rows are done then sew them togather the same way. Then the binding.

Ditto that! The directions are very easy to understand, written throughly, and with large diagrams and pictures. In her books, Betty Cotton has included optional quilting designs and stitches for each project. Go to quiltyard.com for more info. They even have Camp Cotton Quilting Retreats. Pricey for me, but does sound like fun. Her instructional DVD is on sale now.

I used this tutorial for my first quilt. I don't think I can fit a whole quilt in my sewing machine. It's great and all machine stitched.
