    I have premade double fold bias tape and mine does not look like this after doing the diagonal seam. I haven’t cut it yet because it just looks wrong. Do you have to do the stitching in a specific direction? I just picked a corner.

    • @WendiGratz
      @WendiGratz 4 дні тому

      Make sure you're sewing across the corner of the L you make - from outside to outside. When you cut away your excess seam allowance, you'll be cutting the point off the corner of the L. If you sew your seam on the other diagonal (connecting the inside corner of the L to the outside) it won't work.

    • @WendiGratz
      @WendiGratz 12 днів тому

      I think it was $2 - $1 per side. It is on cardstock - just a fairly lightweight one. I went to the tiny copy shop around the corner from my house and they have pretty limited paper choices. I picked the lighter weight cardstock because it had the gloss I wanted for crisp printing. The heavier cardstock was matte. They had a heavy, glossy cardstock, but it was pre-folded and I knew it wouldn't print well over that crease. Most copy shops have a wider paper selection. 😁

    Can I ask how do you wash a quilt that’s got a cuddle back but cotton fabrics at the top ? What cycle do you put in your washing machine and do they shrink the same or does one pull more and distort? Or do you have to prewash everything, something I never do usually with an all cotton quilt?

    • @WendiGratz

  • @rebeccamulkern1051
    @rebeccamulkern1051 Місяць тому

    So is the backing fabric , when you add it afterwards, not quilted at all? It seems that all the quilting is at the front, how do you secure the backing? Are you then quilting some sort of grid to include the backing, and if so doesn’t that defeat the QAYG method? Sorry, I’m a bit confused, but really like the idea of not trimming the batting at the seams

    • @WendiGratz
      @WendiGratz 29 днів тому

      The backing is quilted just along the seam lines sewing the blocks together. For the way I work, it doesn't defeat the purpose of QAYG at all. Quilting the individual blocks lets me do all the curves and angles and things that involve changing direction on an 11-inch square - much easier to maneuver through the machine than a full quilt. It also makes outlining the applique super easy for the same reasons. Yes, eventually I'm quilting the entire quilt, but I'm quilting straight lines 10 inches apart, which are pretty easy to zip through the machine. I can quilt a twin-sized quilt in less than an hour that way. It's way faster and easier than the usual method of joining QAYG blocks which can involve bias tape or clipping away batting or other fussy things I don't enjoy. :-) So basically, I developed this method to use the best parts of QAYG and traditional quilting. If you don't want the denser quilting in each block and you're only going to stitch in the ditch around the blocks anyway, then I definitely recommend a more traditional approach.

    • @WendiGratz
      @WendiGratz Місяць тому

      This machine is a Pfaff Lifestyle which they don't make anymore. My current machine is a Bernina 710. I think it's the tape more than the machine that will be a factor. I've used scotch tape and painters tape with no needle problems, but the painters tape is easier to pull off. The scotch tape tends to sliver.
