I always wanted to learn how to quilt and brought a few books through the years, but after reading them I felt overwhelmed by all the instructions. COVID came along and I found your book "Quilt As You Go Made Modern." While hanging out at home, I tried your method and now I'm hooked. Since then I quilted 2 table runners, 3 lap throws and now working on a queen size quilt for our bed. Your instructions are clear, easy to follow. Thank you!
I received this morning the two books Quilt as you go made modern and Quilt as you go made vintage I have ordered from Amazon. I do not regret my purchase. All the projects are really beautiful and interesting. The explanations are clear and the pictures are great . When Quilt as you go made clever will be still available I wil buy it. Thank you Jera for your books.
This method is awesome my mom quilted old school all her life fist by hand then up in late years couldn’t do by hand and she started doing it on her machine. I wish she had lived to see this simple way for the quilting part she would have been unstoppable
Love the fabric, lace is so cute, Jera is a doll. My concern with adding the backing on at the end is 1) you don't get to see beautiful quilting on the back of your quilt and 2) it does not eliminate the need for me to struggle with a large quilt on my small machine.
I agree - to me this is not traditional QAYG, which quilts the whole square with the backing and then you only have to deal with joining one row at a time, so it fits into a domestic machine. It's very pretty but the backing could easily have been added while the quilting was being done IMHO.
@@GlammyBee Look at Monica Poole's channel on TH-cam - she has a very easy to follow style and lots of different ways to QAYG. She always quilts each block individually, through the top, batting and backing, and then they are sewn together in various ways. so when all are attached the quilt only needs binding. Poole Pattern TV the channel is called. :)
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have never quilted before because I just couldn’t get the very corners lined up and the whole project just seem so overwhelming to even try! This method is such a nice low pressure way to build a quilt. I have this book and I love that the author has actually shown us how she does it. Wonderful! I have the confidence now to make a small quilt. Thank you so much!
Beautiful....I use this method on my t-shirt quilts and call it stitch 'n flip. BTW, if you leave a margin of 1" around the perimeter of the backing, you can just bring it forward to the front, fold the edge 1/4 " under and stitch it down on the top. Voila....no binding strips to make!!
Mel Mack I’m intrigued by the inch around the perimeter for the edge. I will have to consult my sewing friends for this but it sounds very helpful. Thank you
Kimberly, This was a wonderful tutorial. I purchased this book several months ago to read about another QAYG method. Seeing the author actually demonstrate her method has been so helpful and inspiring. Thank you!
I’ve made 6 toddler quilts this year using your video and this book from the library. I like it so much and the blankets are my kids’ favorites! We’ve made some together to give as gifts as well.
Jena seems to be a charming and very nice quilter ... What we need more of in this world is nice people who treat others well and play it safe, honest, responsible and do not harm others ....
This was fantastic. I just love quilt as you go. If works so well if you want to finish your quilt yourself rather than send it out to be quilted or if you do not have a long arm quilting machine of your own. Loved the way the backside came out.
Stop putting her down she does these videos to help people give her credit where due don’t like nasty people if you can’t say something positive don’t comment at all just saying
All I got was she was that the instructor was a tad bit nervous in the beginning. This was excellent tutorial. When people are being nasty towards another who has knowledge, I always cancel them out as noise and listen to the information, then thanked them for their knowledge. I also, give thanks to nasty for having the insight of bringing someone so talented to share their information.
ethel paul I think you took her up wrong she was sharing a tip which does make it easier and quicker It’s so easy to read it quick and take the wrong meaning 🤔both ways are great just another option
Love this instructional video. Absolutely fantastic companion to Jera Brandvig’s “ Quilt As-You-Go Made Modern” and I also really like her “Quilt As-You-Go Made Vintage”. This is my first foray into QAYG and her books are full of hints.
I fell in love with this book when it first came out, so nice to see this on video. My sewing machine broke when I made a rag quilt with flannel fabric because it could not handle the bulk of sewing so many layers together. If you’re not sure, I recommend trying this technique first with the thinnest loft batting and a needle and thread combination that can also handle sewing through all those layers, ESPECIALLY at the seam intersections.
@@kristimolz5770 See how Darlene does it here: th-cam.com/video/dTBUdZ6HVt4/w-d-xo.html ... at 8:53 she shows how she begins to close the block. Watch the whole video though!
I have been away from quilting for almost 1 year, and am glad I watched this little video. Great ideas, I will try this quilt Thanks for the efforts and the lace on this little quilt is a fantastic addition
Just amazing. After reading through all the comments one would swear that a large number of questions indicated the person commenting had not watched the video!
Thank You so much!! i took quilting classes years ago. I recently made a Quilt as you Go however, kind of forgot how to put it all together. So glad I came across your video. Fingers crossed I can get a nice, flat, beautiful quilt like yours.
LOVE THIS!!!!! As a new quilter with a 1 and 3 yo at home, and very small amounts of time, this method is genius. I had been thinking about a way to quilt like this and was about to try it to see if it works. Im glad it does. this will make quilting and Finishing a project more attainable. Thank you!
Just happened on this video. What a great tutorial! I love the addition of lace. I was looking for a fast and pretty baby quilt and this fits the bill. Thanks so much for this video!
Wow! Best QAYG tutorial I have seen yet. Super easy. King size quilts have always given me issues and now I can do them so much easier. Thank you so much.
Very good video. I really like Jera's method for QAYG. However, I believe sewing strips to batting is enough 'quilting' for blocks this size. But, it's still nice to add echo stitching, if you don't mind more sewing. Not too sure about adding lace, but to each his/her own...Great suggestion with rotating mat AND trimming all corner seams on the back to reduce bulk. Thank you for all of your great tips!
Love this tutorial! As a newbie to this world and have tried QAYG...I found this tutorial easy to follow along AND gave me as beginner answers to questions IN THE HOOP designers leave out. Which leave beginners like me frustrated and searching for the answer. I would love to see a COMPLETE QAYG block. :) Not just a stitch in the ditch.
Love it...not quite famous quilting in Puerto Rico... Struggling with that.. so just keep watching videos like this makes me feel better. Some day will make one 💗
I absolutely love this technique. I have a king size bed but the height is almost a metre in height. So now I can just keep on making squares and make it as big as I want it
This is great. I watch a lot of quilt videos but I don't try all of them. But this one, I will! I love the beautiful lace addition. You are a good teacher. Thanks, FQS, for featuring this book and quilter.
Thank you so much for doing this video!! I am a new quilter and I will definitely be trying this technique. I love the pretty fabrics you used and appreciate crafters like you who are willing to put yourself out there in front of a camera. Kudos to you Jera!!!
This is a fabulous tutorial as am new to quilting and want to make a baby quilt then work up to a full double size bed quilt. Thank you for this fantastic tutorial please keep doing them thank you XX
I love this idea. I really like your choice of the fabric. I am new to sewing but I certainly want to try this. Thank you for the explanation about the batting.
As someone new at this I found it helpful especially wanting to quilt with my sewing machine, would have loved to see the back fabric added at the start so it would be quilted like the top
How wonderful thank you so much for this video I love it , I am new at quilting and this video really helped me understand better how to do a quilt as you go , FANTASTIC JOB THANK YOU SO MUCH
This is a great technique to finish a quilt and it looks good. I am going to try it soon for sure. I thank you for your clever way of sharing and talents to sew a beautiful quilt as a gift.
This vid helped me when you said "use 80% cotton batting." That is when the light bulb went off for me, and I will use 80% cotton from now on when doing QAYG. Thank you!!!!!!
I enjoyed the video. I bought your book on Kindle and thought I would try the process. I have a difficult time quilting on my home machine, due to health issues. I did a trial square this evening and was impressed on how easy it was. Starting a baby quilt in the morning. Your book has some traditional blocks that I like and lots of cool ideas. Thanks, Mary
Great tutorial. I have watched it twice and I am starting my quilt today, since I am snowed in. I also purchased the book a few months back, it is great as well. Thanks so much for sharing your talent.
I loved this video, Jets was wonderful at making sure she covered all the aspects of the process. I will be buying her book for sure. And I loved the lacey addition, and a high five for those 60 mm cutters.💮❤️💮
great QAYG for sure! "Stitch in the Ditch" may weaken the connecting block stitches. I'd follow a few of the diamond patterns and gently cross over the block meeting seams to the next triangle. Just my opinion, but I've heard this from some seasoned award winning quilters.
Yes, and also some people teach "stitch in the ditch" where they sew right next to the seam and not right on it and then they don't compromise the seam.
Very nice explanation of quilt as you go quilting. You seem to have simplified the method for me so it seems much more doable. I feel less threatened by giving this method a try. Thank you so much for a clear and concise tutorial.
Such a pretty quilt and a great technique. I had only seen Quit as you go that included the backing as you went along. I was trying to figure out how you were going to add it. I like that there is a simple gird on the back.
I do think this is a good idea for throws and smaller household articles when adding the backing last. Just stich in the ditch with the backing on and start from the middle of the piece and work out to the edges. I like that there is no sashing around each block.
marie d Great idea. I do mostly QAYG and I’ve been doing each individual block. Doing rows will speed things up and make the process so much easier! I made a bookshelf quilt and did the rows but it never occurred to me to do all my other jilts like that! Thank you for sharing!
I’ve only made one quilt as you go project, but the backing was added at the beginning so when your done adding the strips, your done with the block and the quilting.
I found this quilt to be feminine and very pretty :) Guess I'm just one of those. My book arrives tomorrow and I'm excited to get started. Hoping one jelly roll is enough. It will also be my very first quilting book!
I've just finished the top sq's of my quilt to be. I'm thinking of joining the sq's together one row at a time. Then cutting batting to fit each row, rather than one sq at a time. Then quilting each row, not all the way to the edge, because I'll join the rows together, then lay on the backing, pinning, or spraying fabric edhesive, which is easier for me, I think instead of a st in ditch, I'll do wave lines.~~~~~like these, but joined.
I started this quilt. In hindsight, probably not the best to start with this quilt. Even though I cut the strips to 2.5 inches and do through all the steps exactly as she does, my pieces aren't lining up from block to block. Especially the end ones. I assume this is why people buy jelly rolls because the measurements are exact for each. I centimeters off here and there REALLY do make a difference.
I’m excited to try this method of quilting! Thank you for the video. I do have a question though. Why do you back stitch the ends of each strip when you most likely will cut that part off when squaring up the block?
I've been wanting to make a strip QAYG for my granddaughter. I will have to use this method as she wants flannel as the backing. Other methods use cotton fabric and make a sashing with the backing.
Girl, so I've seen this probably 10 times and I always like to see it to give me inspiration on my next project. 🥰 You've gotta let me know if you ever come to south Austin, let me know and we can chill out and hang out.... well once this craziness is over. Lol 💙🐝💙
If you have ever made a QAYG quilt, you have to use sashing usually to attach the blocks. There are ways to get around that though and this video shows another one. My concern with this method is the batting inside the bobbin case, so cleaning your machine often would be a must...I like the lace addition
I think the decorative stitches would work well instead of the straight stitches. Love the idea, I’ve seen it done with other videos on quilt as you go. But I like the fact that she gives you ideas on the batting, which is nice! I don’t have a turning mat but I just turn my regular mat because I cut on a table.....lol! I’ve used safety pins but when I was done quilting it would leave a hole, does anyone have a better idea, I used basing spray glue but it does come off before I finish, anyone has good ideas, I’ve also tacked it down using some thread. Looking for better ideas for basing the batting down.
I have just found you on utube, thank you so much from my shoulders which aren’t great..., now I can’t wait to give the actual quilting a go. You do a lovely tutorial and I really love your material, especially with the lace. Am going looking for your books now. Thanks again, jules from Australia
Thanks!

I make my quilt as you go squares with a backing fabric square. I’ve made several quilts and throws this way. Works great. Saves a step.
When you do your squares with the backing fabric, how do you finish the exposed seams?

Yay!! Thank-you fat quarter shop for this great tutorial! I am definitely going to try this one!!
I've been wanting to make a strip QAYG for my granddaughter. I will have to use this method as she wants flannel as the backing. Other methods use cotton fabric and make a sashing with the backing.

Love this method and the back looks great to me. Like the idea I can use decorative stitches on my machine if I want to. ♥
Love this method. Thank you. Will definitely give it a try.
I look forward to trying this block using my backing and batting squares. Thanks for sharing!
I loved the finished look with the lace. Made a big difference!
Very nice 🥰 thank you for the step by step. So lovey ♥️♥️♥️
I think the decorative stitches would work well instead of the straight stitches. Love the idea, I’ve seen it done with other videos on quilt as you go. But I like the fact that she gives you ideas on the batting, which is nice! I don’t have a turning mat but I just turn my regular mat because I cut on a table.....lol! I’ve used safety pins but when I was done quilting it would leave a hole, does anyone have a better idea, I used basing spray glue but it does come off before I finish, anyone has good ideas, I’ve also tacked it down using some thread. Looking for better ideas for basing the batting down.
I have just found you on utube, thank you so much from my shoulders which aren’t great..., now I can’t wait to give the actual quilting a go. You do a lovely tutorial and I really love your material, especially with the lace. Am going looking for your books now. Thanks again, jules from Australia
