Ready & waiting for part 5. Your instructions are so helpful. I went ahead and did part 4 before you posted it and, of course, I made mistakes. need to read part 5 to find out if my quilt is going to be okay. Thanks so much for your help.
Hi Carleen! So glad these posts are helpful for you! That’s my goal when writing them 🙂 We are so close to being done with these quilts!
Look for the final part (part 5) to be posted Monday. Enjoy your weekend! 🙂
So i have never quilted before…i love sewing but i havent done a ton of it recently. This may sound dumb, please bare with me…what keeps the stiches from comi ng undone? I was always taught when maching sewing to go forward reverse then continue on…but i feel it would be super noticeable??
Hi Cay!
So sorry for the delayed response, just saw your message. My house is crazy chasing after a toddler and caring for a newborn 🙂
To put it at simple as possible, a sewing machine has stitches that go in the top and the bottom. Backstitching at the beginning of each stretch of sewing forms “a knot” that helps prevent the stitching from coming undone. It basically just reinforces the stitches and truly isn’t too noticeable. Hope this helps! 🙂
I’m working on my first quilt for a new grandbaby, and I have to tell you, your instructions are the best! Easy to follow and understand! I do have one question; do you use a special quilting thread for the quilting portion of this quilt? Or is just regular, all purpose cotton thread?
Thank you kindly,
Rhonda
Hi! So I have never quilted before, but I am trying to learn and am so far having a great time. I do have a question regarding the sewing process. When you say to “sew to the edge of the quilt” do you mean all the way to the edge of the backing edge or the quilt top edge? I want to assume the quilt edge but I want to be sure before I start. Thanks!
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment- I apologize that I am just now seeing it.
For this step, sew all the way to the edge of the quilt top. Once your entire top is quilted, you will be trimming the excess backing/batting.
I hope this helps! Good luck and happy crafting! 🙂
Thank you so much for the tutorials! This is the second quilt I am making using your step by step guide, but of course, I got too confident and cut my backing fabric a little too close (I left only half an inch to inch away from my quilt top). Ooops! How bad do you think the damage will be?
These tutorials have been great so far! I am loving learning how to quilt. I was wondering when you said to start at the middle and sew to the edge, and then flip it over and do that again, do you mean that we will start quilt top up, and sew from the middle to the edge, and then flip it over, now backing up, and sew the rest of it that was not done yet?
I hope that made sense!
Also, what’s the purpose of starting in the middle and then flipping it over?
Hi Janae!
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on my post!
When quilting, start in the middle of the quilt (quilt top up) and sew to the edge. Then flip the quilt (quilt top up, just rotated) and start in the middle again and sew to the edge. This will help eliminate bubbles and lumps in the quilt.
I hope this helps! Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any other questions!
Happy crafting! 🙂
