I'm so very happy that I came across your channel. I am making quilts for my bed and now for my granddaughters and grandson, who will be born in December. I am very new to quilting, my mom didn't have a chance to teach me because her hands were getting bad and my dad made her stop. My mom always did QAYG and she told me that if I ever started quilting that I should do the same thing. The one thing that she forgot to tell me was how to join the pieces after sewing the top, middle and bottom together. I now know how my mom joined her pieces together, thank you for sharing this video of how you and my mom joined her quilts.

I'm so glad i found your channel on joining zig zag quilt squares. I've been wanting to do this particular joints for a while now. But have not found a detailed video on how to do it until I watched this one. Thank you so much for the details and step by steps on how to do this whole process. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos Thank you.

Excellent video - so easy to follow. I'm glad I found your channel. Thanks for sharing. Have a beautiful week-end.

Thank you for sharing that. That is a clever idea to zigzag the blocks first, that way they don't move while you join them up. Thank you again. I am making a quilt as you go log cabin for a queen size bed.So this was very handy.I was very happy to find you on You Tube.😁

I’ve been working on a few qayg quilts, they are easier for me to handle. Your way of doing qayg is ingenious!! I’m just getting ready to bind a quilt and start a another using your method. Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge and beautiful work. So glad I found your channel 😊☺️

[juliekalber]

So glad I have found you! I am starting quilt as you go, as I no longer can manage a big quilt in my machine. This joining method is brilliant. Thank you so much. Oh, and I finally know ow to use a needle threader after all these years!

[cathyschwegmann]

Thanks. I have various blocks and was wondering how to combine them. This is a super way and i am going to try it.

[bettiefrisby]

This was an interesting way to add the sashing strips. I'll try this on my next quilt.

New Subscriber here! I am thrilled to see the EASIEST QAYG technique ever! Bless you! BIG hugs from Texas! 🤗🤗🤠🤠

[rethamoore]

My first time watching you and just want to say, "I love you" ! Such a pleasant voice and i can understand exactly what you were teaching. Nothing confusing about how or why you did things the way you did! WOW! I'm so happy and want to give this quilting another try now.😊❤❤

[nanettejernigan]

New to your channel and love the way this looks! I have not tried QAYG but I think I will give it a shot!

Hi Sharyn. Greetings from Canada. Have you ever used the invisible thread? Great video, very clear ; being able to see so close is extremely helpful.

I enjoyed this technique of sew as u go . I'm getting too old to sandwich & free motion quilt my Queen size quilts . Q: Design wall ...
I noticed the tape is only horizontal, you need to tape vertical as well to cover the zig-zag stitch. What is your solution to avoid a thick cross-over ? 😊😊😊

[rosepaul]

Love your demonstration. I have done this method in the past for a kitty quilt. I forgot how I did it so this helps so much. What kind and size of needle do you suggest?

[conniel.]

Love your method, thanks. Do you add a strip on the back, then on front? Or do the entire back, then the front?

[annas.r.p.]

Can you use a slightly larger tape for the front of the quilt ??? I realize it would show more on the back but I think it would make the front look better.

[peggyrussell]

Can you use wider strips like a 2 1/2 inch or wider or do you have to use 1 inch between your blocks

[szelop]

Does the quilt feel stiff on the joining areas when done as quilt as you go?
