6 WAYS TO KEEP YOUR QUILT SANDWICH TOGETHER - Part 1 How to Keep the Creases Out of Your Quilt.

The anatomy of a quilt is made up of 3 parts: the top, the middle and the back. In other words, us quilters call it a quilt sandwich. Creating the sandwich is enviable… but so many quilters end up with distorted seams and awful creases. How do you layer them together so that they don’t shift when you are machine quilting??? Here are six different methods to make the quilt sandwich of your dreams. So stick with me and I’ll show you how to do it.

I know that this does not cover everything that you need to know about quilt sandwiches but I couldn't jam anything more into the video. So this is PART 1 in a series of HOW TO KEEP THE CREASES OUT OF YOUR QUILT. If you have questions I haven't answered, please leave them in the comments and I'll try and incorporate them in future videos. Thanks for watching

[alliehenry]

Why am I here? What am I doing? I have watched all of these videos. I have subscribed and turned on notifications. I don’t even make quilts.

[momistaken]

I often use flannel sheets for batting. I buy slightly used flannel sheets from a thrift store, wash them well and I’m ready for a future quilt!

[sarahpengelly]

I hope this lady reads most of the comments.
No idea why, but many are hilarious.
They are just as entertaining as the video 😅

Thanks Karen for another wonderful teaching video. I used to really dislike (actually stronger) binding my quilts. This was at least 20 years ago. That was until a guild member made this statement as she was showing her quilt, “My favorite part of making my quilts is doing the binding”! You may probably be thinking what I thought at the time. I pondered this statement. And I found that every time I was sewing that dreaded binding on, Judi’s words came back to me. Funny thing, after some time it became my favorite part also.

So here goes, basting my quilts is one of my favorite parts, no kidding. I spray baste my quilts and every since doing my first one I knew this was the technique for me. For me, it’s very fast, easy, and very accurate. I gently smooth the quilt out as I spray baste my sections. At 76 years, I appreciate an accurate technique that doesn’t require crawling around on the floor. I open my windows. I have wood floors which I quickly wipe with my wood floor cleaner immediately after the quilt is basted. This takes only a few minutes as it is easily removed and for me is worth it at my age. Tada! Then I can head to my domestic machine to start machine of my favorite things!

Bating=yes
FMQ=Yes
Good quilting machines=YES!

Another great video👍😎

[brendasutterfield]

Karen I use a bed blanket for the batting. And a bed sheet for the backing. It's the only way I can make a quilt. I was taught to do that. It's simple for me to quilt. I use yarn to tack it with. That's just the way I was shown how to make a quilt. By my grandmother always done her quilts that way. .. it works for me. ..

[bostonpicker]

Two requests for future videos: you asked about one on batting. YES, , please! And also one about free motion quilting. There are lots of videos out there about both topics but you often seem to find new ways of thinking about things, a kind of no-nonsense, gently cut through the rubbish pov. So if you have time, I’d greatly appreciate both.

[kimberlywatson]

Sandwiching on a wall with basting spray!!! I think my mind has just been blown. 🤯❤

[cjtheisen]

I applaud all of you struggling to find the best way to baste and quilt. Do it if you enjoy it or can't afford to hire someone. For me the best way is to not do it at all. Anything larger than a small table runner goes to a pro. The woman who quilts my quilts does a beautiful job with quick turnaround for a reasonable price and she even picks up and delivers! Worth every penny!

[michellecornum]

Yes, definitely talk about battings and free motion quilting. My sister can free motion quilt. I'm pretty sure its witchcraft. I can only mess up a sandwich and form a million creases. (I nearly cried when you showed that one! THEY ARE SO AGRAVATING! ) And of course, please, eventually, talk about binding. This was a very important and useful video. Thank you. Stay well!

[sharong.]

Please do a video on different battings. You are an excellent teacher!

[shelliethompson]

The best explanation for sandwiching a quilt. Thank you.

[Sally-sells-seshells]

I would really enjoy learning about different battings.

[kathrynsvendsen]

I use Elmer’s School glue in a bottle with a fine tip and put a drop of glue about every 4 inches in rows. Then I either leave the quilt until the glue is dry or a dry iron to help dry the glue more easily. The glue washes out of the quilt. This method is easy and very inexpensive. A bottle of glue lasts a long time

[dinahkelly]

I am LOVING the notion of the 'gentle negotiation' with the batting. What a brilliant description of something that I would have thought impossible to describe! Thank you Karen, love your videos.

[missamedulla]

one vote for a "types of quilt batting" video!!

[sheilapollock-bowlin]

A batting video would be great! Your videos are always so informative.

[kirsten]

Yes to video about creative batting materials!!!

[designerdancer]

Yes, please make a video on batting types!! I have terrible allergies, and working with so many battings is a horrible experience, but I love to quilt!! :(
