If the thought of wrestling a giant quilt sandwich through your sewing machine has ever made you put a project on the back of the cupboard, this tutorial from Ms. Linda Mielke Quilts is for you. She walks through the Quilt As You Go method, where you quilt each block individually with batting and backing as you piece, then join everything together at the end. No more elbow gymnastics on the kitchen table.
Here is why this one is worth watching:
- It makes big quilts feel manageable. By quilting one small block at a time, you skip the heavy lifting that usually comes with a full size quilt, which means you can finish on your home machine without dragging in extra hands.
- The technique is beginner friendly. Linda explains each step at a gentle pace, so even if Quilt As You Go is brand new to you, you will feel confident giving it a try by the end of the video.
- It is a beautiful way to use up batting scraps. Smaller blocks mean smaller pieces of batting, which makes this method a generous friend to anyone with a bin of leftover bits waiting for a purpose.
