Very helpful tutorial, Kimberly. I would also love to see a QAYG with blocks and showing how to attach the blocks together tutorial. You make it look so easy and explain it all so well. Thank you so much.
Quilt as You Go was my first attempt at quilting and I LOVED it. It's my absolute favorite method of quilting because it's so much easier for me to manage on my home machine, especially for the bigger quilts. Recently I've been combining traditional block piecing and the Quilt as You Go method together and I love the results I'm getting. There can never be too many FQS Quilting videos, especially for Quilt as You Go...more more more Quilt as You Go! :-)
My friend, Brenda, taught me to make these, but she taught me to layer the batting on the backing before sewing the strips on, this just leaving trimming and binding at the end.
I just made this today in Christmas fabric. It was the perfect gift for a friend as I made it out of fabric that she had given me from her mother’s fabrics after she had passed away. Thanks so much she will love it.
Great pattern and this could also be used for placemats as well. I would suggest anyone using a plaid or strip fabric for the backing to make sure that you place the top & bind true to the lines/plaid, so your back doesn’t look wonky. One could also use a decorative stitch and/or utility stitch for the quilting.
I purchased the 50 weight and the 28 weight threads for piecing and quilting (as you suggested). I am getting ready to make this table runner, and I just wondered if I should also use these AURIFILL threads and corresponding weights in the bobbin. I really like the AURIFILL thread because I see less puckering in my work, but it is a little expensive and just wondered about the bobbin thread. Thanks. And thank you for all of your hard work in organizing such well-thought-out tutorials, Kimberly. Pat aBerne
I love your tutorials. I was wondering if you can do fast and easy gifts for coworkers, teacher, etc. for the upcoming holidays. I feel handmade gifts are so much better😊
This is a great project and so easy that I can make a table runner for each season and/or holiday! As I have gotten somewhat lazy in my old age, I would use the self-binding technique to finish. Excellent project to teach beginners. Thanks for great content, as always.
I've been wanting to make a table runner and this is great! Looks quick and easy thanks to Kimberly! Thank you for all the details and especially the squaring of the corners. Thank you! 😁
Nice video! I will try this with my 10yo granddaughter. She is a beginner sewer and LOVES straight seams. Sometimes I have to tell her to turn the speed down. :) Simple project with a beautiful end. Seriously reminds me of my 4H days. :)
For those asking why she didnt sew the back on. If she had cut the strips to the exact length she wouldn't need to cut excess strips. She also could have left the backing and fold the edges over to auto bind it. At least it's what i would have done.
Great instruction. I thought QAYG included sewing backing too. Yours is great quality though. As a beginner I think I need to do it all at once. I just got jelly rolls yesterday. I think I'll make placemats to start. Using your style. I like your jelly roll better! Thanks for the video
Thank you Kimberly for all the great and easy projects. I have a Ugly Sweater Panel, maybe you could do a video on making it into a wall hanging or a tablerunner.
I have done this before but added the backing at the same time, so all of it is quilted when I'm finished piecing. Could you show this technique, also? And, I would love to see you do Quilt As You Go blocks, especially including joining the blocks together. Thanks for all you do!
This is great for newbies and I also love to watch for any tips. Just a comment tho: I like to spray baste as it saves time and you don't have to fuss with pins. I tried that 505 only once - Nasty stuff (smelly, hard to reposition, sticks to your hands, ugh!). June Taylor makes a good one with no smell and don't need much. It is however expensive so I only buy 1/2 price on sale. Found a less expensive one on Amazon.ca called SprayNBond - no smell and works almost as well. Kim at Chatterboxquilts.com has a recipe to make starch that is great and she says can use it for basting as well. (I make 3 batches at a time which fills 2 1/2 x 32 oz bottles and spray the back of material and let dry, then iron) but still have to try to use it for basting on a table runner first)!
Beautiful runner, & a great Jelly Roll, to get two colorways in one roll!! I also love that the batting comes precut for a table runner. Makes everything go together so easy. Beautiful job, Kimberly! P.S. What machine were you using? Sounded pretty bad! That squeak would drive me crazy!!
I would love to see the Carolina Lily block. I have a new niece named Lily and she lives in North Carolina I would love to make a small quilt of the Carolina Lily block
Feed dogs are up .. you only lower them when you free motion quilt, with your FMQ foot .. Kimberly used a walking foot, so feed dogs were up. Hope that helps!
I’m excited to try this! Would you be able to let me know the measurements for the batting if I’m not able to find the precut table runner size? Thanks so much!!!
I was wondering the same thing. For runners I usually use leftovers from quilts and use joining tape if needed. I tried to find it on the Hobbs website but couldn't.
Do you have a video to show us beginners how to add borders to smaller projects like mug mats, placemat, table runner? It would be greatly appreciated.
The link should take you to a playlist that includes videos that can help. Here is a direct link to one of the videos: th-cam.com/video/U6vUfS2uNpQ/w-d-xo.html
Hello Nancy! You can try this, however you would really want to adhere the backing well so it doesn't slip or distort as you quilt. I recommend trying it on a smaller project first, like a single quilt block, to see if you want to try it on a longer tablerunner
I put my backing on with my batting for my QAYG projects. I also would never use pins versus safety pins. Pins can get rusty over time and pricking yourself while quilting may seem harmless enough but you could get tetanus
Hello Donna! We have started doing that within the past year, this video is from 2019. There are also chapters included so you can click into what you would like to see.
I think this isn’t really QAYG. I’ve made quite a few of placemats and some table runners with QAYG before but the point of QAYG is you don’t need to quilt like you did here. It’s a one step process. You put the backing fabric and quilt as you attach a piece of fabric in the initial process. By the time you are done you have backing attached, a quilt insert sandwiched then the top is pieced together. Most QAYG FO doesn’t also have stitch showing in the front. And it’s a nice smooth top without much of stitches showing. I do like to use spay glue (405) on the back a night before to let that dry then I can just quilt all in one process next day. Once I launder them they’re nice and plushy.
Thank you for the feedback. This was Kimberly's first attempt at quilt as you go so she did what she felt more comfortable with. Here is a different quilt as you go tutorial th-cam.com/video/wei_4lrup8w/w-d-xo.html
Even tho you have binding videos on other videos, I would like to see it here on this actual project. All I think is wow, now I have to search for a different video. Not everyone has the mindset to do that. Gives me anxiety. Even just a short tutorial.

Maybe I don't understand -- if you are going to quilt the entire thing once the backing is added, what was the point of quilting the top to the batting as you pieced it the first place? What does this method accomplish that traditional "piece than sandwich and quilt" method doesn't? Either way, I have to put the whole thing through my machine. I thought the main advantage of quilt as you go was to either save time, or avoid having to wrestle a full quilt through your machine. The method presented here requires putting the whole thing through the machine TWICE. I don't get it. Also, as picky as it may seem, diction is important -- Kimberly continually says "sHtraigt" and sHtrip". There is no "h" in strip or straight.
LOVE IT! So simple, so fast - you can make one for your table for every season!

I love QAYG, and jelly rolls! Great tutorial and tip for squaring up the corners. Thank you Kimberley, and very pretty jelly roll!

Really enjoying this project! It's my first time quilting and this is a great 1st project for beginners. Very fun and easy to do! Thanks Kimberly!
This will be one of my next projects for sure. Thanks, Kimberley.
A great video as usual. Thank you. I made one ofthese when I first started quilting, and it is hard to go wrong with this and it looks great.
Great tutorial. Thank you. So nice to just sew. Not much prep. Lol. Some days I need just this. Love the fabric.
Sometimes it is so calming to just mindlessly sew.
I've been wanting to make a table runner and this is great! Looks quick and easy thanks to Kimberly! Thank you for all the details and especially the squaring of the corners. Thank you! 😁

You do an excellent job of explained step. The steps are very clear. Thank you!
Thank you for another great tutorial. You are a great instructor, Kimberly. 🌻
I love your tutorials and this one was super! Your directions are clear and easy to follow. FQS ROCKS!

Thanks, Kimberly...I learned the QAYG method from Jera Brandvig on your channel a couple years ago. It is my favorite method. Thanks again!
Kimberley, if you use pins to stop you hurting yourself, use pin moors they are great and no being pricked by the pins 😁 x
Beautiful and so simple, thanks for sharing!
Love it ❤️ Thank you for sharing 😇
Very cute! Will make awesome Christmas gifts!
Kimberly, I love the 28 weight quilting. What size needle did you use in your sewing machine ? Great tutorial.😊
awesome video! great for making gifts for upcoming holidays. thank you thank you! 🐿
Thank you! Great project for Christmas gifts!!
I really enjoyed this video. Just got my strips to try a runner. You explain everything so well. Thank you.

Hi Kimberley
I love you qayg table runner - would you consider doing a simple quilt tutorial, using strips, following this method?
Thank you. I love this idea of two runners from one jellyroll. Nice Christmas gifts!
Always excellent step-by-step videos. This fabric is so cool, very 60s, at least to me. : D
Thank you!❤

Same for me. I didn't think it was QAYG if all the layers weren't included. Who knew!
I’m so glad you said this as I’m new to quilting and it was confusing me why the backing wasn’t included in the quilt as you go.
Maybe you would omit the backing if you would want to do custom free motion quilting?
Great idea
More quilt as you go, please.
Super cute thx Kimberly for this great idea;-))))
Sew fun!❤️

I have the same machine (Juki 2010Q) and my walking foot squeaks like that sometimes too. A few drops of oil fixes it.
Kimberly do you need to use a bigger needle for the 28 wt thread? Love this so much and beautiful fabric also, Thank you so much.
Hello Michelle! We recommend using size 90/14 needles for 28wt thread.
I would love to see the Carolina Lily block. I have a new niece named Lily and she lives in North Carolina I would love to make a small quilt of the Carolina Lily block
Hello Rhonda! We have a video where Kimberly makes a quilt with the Carolina Lily block: th-cam.com/video/5vDcORmBLN0/w-d-xo.html
Thank you!
The 28 weight heavy thread? Its so pretty. Thank you
Good color-coordinating/dressing for your project. LOL Why didn't you add a backing that could also be quilted at the same time?
Woow👏👏👏👏🌹🍃🍃💕
Do you have to use different weight thread for the quilting?
Love this tutorial! Are the feed dogs up or down when you sewed?
Feed dogs are up .. you only lower them when you free motion quilt, with your FMQ foot .. Kimberly used a walking foot, so feed dogs were up. Hope that helps!
I wish you would use your Sasihko machine to do the top stitching! I would love to see the results!!!!!!
Quilt as you go is with backing at same time as top is done I was taught?????
Hi Linda, it can be done either way 😊
Very pretty! What type of needle is recommended for the 28wt thread?
Hello K! We recommend Size 90 needles www.fatquartershop.com/schmetz-size-90-14-universal-machine-needles-5-ct

Oops- I thought Kim said Hobbs batting but I see she uses "Happy Cloud" and sell it at Fat Quarter Shop. It says 19" x 55"
I LOVE THIS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. CAN I POSSIBLY DO THIS AND THEN ADD THEM TOGETHER TO MAKE A CALIFORNIA KING QUILT ?????
Hi Jeni! Yes you absolutely could!
Does not using a backing when quilting as you go. Do you get heavy fuzz in the bobbin area?
Do you have a video to show us beginners how to add borders to smaller projects like mug mats, placemat, table runner? It would be greatly appreciated.
Hello Candyfsu! Here is a tutorial that shows you how to add borders to a smaller project: th-cam.com/play/PLNTabBf7OG9LrwvEpY8OwtypRcJhPsNga.html

Could you have layered the backing on and then sewed the strips? I’m new to the quilt as you go...? Then squared it up and then bind it?

If I am using scrap batting what is the batting measurement please?
Are jelly rolls preshrunk? If not will they shrink when washed?
Hello Pamela! No, jelly rolls are not pre-shrunk. They will shrink when washed.
I am looking for the panel that has a large sewing machine on one end a bear on the other do you have it
How wide and long is your batting here?
It looks like you increased your stitch length to a 3 or 4 when you did the supplemental quilting.
@@kitlewis6748 Thank you, I missed that!
I put my backing on with my batting for my QAYG projects. I also would never use pins versus safety pins. Pins can get rusty over time and pricking yourself while quilting may seem harmless enough but you could get tetanus
One side came out perfect. The other side started slanting and was very off line at end. What could be the problem
Hello Joyce! It is probably slipping when you sew, more pins and a walking foot should help and also sewing slowly.
My sewing machine repair. Guy tells me all walking feet squeak.
Why didn,t you quilt as you go with the backing also?
Nice techniques. It would be nice if you could fast forward some of the repetitive sewing. After one or two strips we get the idea.
Hello Donna! We have started doing that within the past year, this video is from 2019. There are also chapters included so you can click into what you would like to see.
what needle is needed for the 28 count thread?
What is the finished size?
19" x 55" approx....This is the size of the precut batting she used that is avail. for purchase on her site...hope that helps!

Why not start sewing on one of the ends
If you start in the middle you can sew two strips between ironing.
The sewing machine sounds like some kind of baby animal squeaking...
