thank you for making that look so simple. appreciate you sharing with us.
This was extremely helpful. I'm going to use it on my next quilt
Perfect! So many instructions and folk just go by the boring 108-width backing. I am working on my first quilt and the choice of boring backings almost stopped me from proceeding. I was going to straight sew quilting cotton into the backing dimension I needed. Thank you for this video that helps novices and experienced folk alike.
Fantastic, just what I needed at this time. Thank you!
This is a great video
Excellent video!
Good tip 🎉 Thank you for the video 😊
I watched it a second time and have now sewed and have my backing ready Perfect, now I can use up lots of fabric that looks good too. Not many choices when it comes to 108" widths. Thank you so much.
Most helpful. Thank you.
Thanks for the tip, very helpful.
Thank you for your clear , well explained video. What seam allowance do you use? Do you trim off the selvage edges before you press to the side? Why press to the side rather than pressing open?
Very interesting. Always looking for a better way. Thank you. Not related to video but where did u get that huge cutting mat or is that like 2 seperate mats put together. I have been looking for a vert large one for almost a year and havent found one. Thank you!
You can snip the backing at the end of the crease and tear down the lengthwise straight of grain.
I was just wondering the reason for sewing it into a tube and then cutting it instead of just sewing the two pieces together with one seam? Is that so you don't have one seam that lands in the middle of the quilt back? Thanks.
Yes it's so that there is not a center back seam. Plus this method seems to work better than cutting one piece in two pieces and stitching them seperately. Why that is true I'm not sure but it really does work better.
Do you have to square up the material before you start making this backing?
I have a quilt top that is 102"x102". How many yards of 44" wide fabric would I need to make my back? Thanks Sew Much.
you will need 3 lengths of 105-8" 9 1/4 yards
Margaret, I just read the response to someone else who asked the same question!!
I still dont get it. You loose 1" and still have same amount if you just sewed 1 side. How do you gain anything?
I'm sorry I don't understand your question in reference to this video?
72 plus 18 is 70 plus 20.ta da
Very clever! Thank you for sharing! 😊
Hello Margaret, I just watched your TH-cam on quilt backing measurements. I have a question, and I apologize if I am missing the obvious. Why do you sew the fabric into a tube, and then cut one side. Could you just sew the two pieces together and get the same results?? Thanks
I think it looks nicer than a seam down the middle. My mother in law taught me this years ago. Hope this helps
Thanks for sharing! Also like your top--very cute!
Sew the tube and then instead of cutting, rip it. Works every time.
Great idea!
This would work okay if you're going to hand quilt (only you probably wouldn't hand-quilt a batik quilt - ouch!) or machine quilt on a domestic machine, but not if you're going to quilt on a longarm machine. You do not want to have those long seams lengthwise on your quilt back. The seams will stack up on each other and become a problem when the quilt is rolled up. The seam(s) on the back should be horizontal to avoid that problem. Also, I hope you did trim off the selvedges before you sewed the pieces together, or you could have trouble with puckering along those seams.
