Quilting is something that I absolutely enjoy. The one problem I have, however, with every quilt I make, free quilt as you go patterns download pdf, is the fact that it is awful hard to machine quilt on just your regular, run of the mill sewing machine. They are totally killing my sewing machine dreams!
So as I was searching for a better solution to my quilting dilemma, I came across the idea of quilting as you go. The basic idea is to quilt all of your layers together, as you are piecing your quilt, so that you are working with smaller, more manageable pieces. There are many different ways you can do this, but the basic idea is all pretty much the same: you stack your pieced block, with batting and backing cut to the same size, sandwich them together and quilt them first, and then actually join blocks together.
Did you use this instructable in your classroom? Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson. The first step is to make a plan. Decide on the size and design that you would like your finished project to be, and figure out the yardage you would need for that size. That means you can use scraps!! I would really recommend using at least half of an inch around each side of each block.
When you have your top blocks trimmed, you will need to trim backing squares to be the exact same size as the top. Once you have your top and backing cut, cut your batting to size. This part is a bit different… you want your batting to not have any seam allowance at all. Not the eating kind, free quilt as you go patterns download pdf. Once you have all of your blocks pieced and trimmed to size, you need to stack your sandwiches. To stack them, you will need to start by laying your backing fabric, wrong side up, on your work surface, free quilt as you go patterns download pdf.
On top of this, place your batting square. Make sure to place it in the center, with an even seam allowance around each side. Once you have your batting placed, place your top block over free quilt as you go patterns download pdf, right side up.
Be sure to line it up carefully with your backing square below. When you have all of your layers positioned, you need to baste them. You can just pin them, as I have done, or spray baste… whatever gets the job done. Once you have your layers basted, you will need to quilt your blocks.
How you quilt your blocks is entirely up to you. You can use straight lines or free-form quilt it… basically do whatever you are most comfortable with. The most important thing to remember is to not sew into your seam allowance. I did this in a few places, and it was a big pain in the rear end in later steps. It may not be a bad idea to take a marking pencil that is easily removed and mark around the edges so that you know where to stop.
To join squares, place two blocks, right sides together. Carefully pin JUST the top layers together. You do NOT want to sew through your backing fabric. I found it easiest to either pin or press the backing out of the way while I stitched the tops together. Once you get the two blocks joined just at the top layer, press your seam. Then smooth the backing fabric back over the back of the seam, folding over one edge and pinning.
When you have your row all joined together, you need to go back and finish your back seams. You could, carefully, line up and pin your backing a machine stitch it all down. I know, free quilt as you go patterns download pdf, lazy, right? I stitched as neatly and as invisibly as I could, and for me, it was easier. I would definitely suggest that as you stitch your back, make sure not to leave your seams open on the top and bottom, so that when you join your rows together, you will be able to open your layers straight across.
When you have all of your rows stitched, you can sew them together using the same techniques that you used to join your blocks into rows. And, just as you finished the back of each row, finish the seams that you use to join the rows together.
Once you have your quilt assembled, you bind it just as you would a regular quilt. This technique is so easy, and it really opens up a lot of possibilities for more complicated quilting designs on a basic model sewing machine. Question 7 weeks ago on Introduction. Question 8 months ago on Introduction. Question 1 year ago on Step 5. Did you sew through the batting?
If so won't that be a bit bulky? I've read that you don't and have to butt the seams of the batting. Question 1 year ago. So,I can do this method with handquilted things also This is one I have already done. This is my next project,. Question 1 year ago on Step 6. I am confused how to fold over the backing so there isn't a bump in the back.
Am I supposed to sew through the batting, or only the top? Could someone video how to fold over the back once two blocks are joined together? Tip 1 year ago on Step 4. I think you shouldn't sew to the edge of your batting either, after joining blocks you'll need enough room to fold your backing. If I had enough fabric left I would redo some of my blocks instead of ripping tiny stitches, free quilt as you go patterns download pdf.
Thanks for the tutorial. Up to this point I'm doing ok I thinkbut once I joined two blocks together my seams are just a bit smaller janbthe backing, don't really get what to do next, I press it open, and then, how do I fold the backing? I plan to follow this method so I can machine quilt each block. It'll be easier to quilt a single block and then attach it.
I'll hand stitch it together with a slip stitch since they are hidden. My mother quilted for many years and I've seen it done many ways and all done well. My wife is a new quilter and she's following the other approach but I believe the quilt as you go approach will give me many advantages and only require a small amount of hand stitching. In the past, I've tied quilts since all that hand quilting causes my man's hand to cramp terribly. Hi Abby, I think your idea is great.
I was going to adopt it for our first quilt, a large one, There is just one thing though. I just spoke with the company who sells the quilt design and pieces and was running by your idea with them. There is pulling etc. Reply 3 years ago.
I'm not Abby but thought I could help anyway - this technique is great but common sense says it's not going to work on a very precise design where lining up the blocks perfectly is vital. I have quilted king size quilts on a regular machine, it's tedious but it's really doable with patience and large binding clips.
Use Abby's technique for a different quilt than the one free quilt as you go patterns download pdf are doing - if the company does not recommend it believe them. Thanks Ninzerbean for your response. This is a very difficult decision indeed because of the special circumstances at play here. The person doing the quilting will have had no experience whatsoever doing quilts before.
It's the country where this is being done. Can you imagine them doing a quilt of this size in one piece, first going over dozens of intricate appliques and then quilting the rest? Because of this I have decided to make a compromise. Keeping our fingers crossed. Reply 2 years ago. Use a mug rug pattern, but split it into two pieces to see if it works. It was my very first sewing project. Hadn't sewed before in my life. Then added the borders. It worked but if I were to do it again I would follow the advice of the designers.
I just free quilt as you go patterns download pdf this idea but could not get these directions to print. I have tried to download to PDF file and still won't let me.
These look like great instructions! My concern with this method is that the batting is not all one piece. Does that effect the durability of the quilt? Does it lay differently from normal? I am about to make an XL twin quilt of my oldest and I ant it to hold up for a long time.
