No Batting Quilt: Does the front show on the back
Переглядів 6053 місяці тому
Does the front of the quilt show up on the backing. Yes it can if you used a lot of dark colours on the front but it shows more in the light than if it was on a flat surface like a bed. Hope this video helps explain it 😊 I have other no batting videos on my channel and I would love to answer any questions you have Keep smilin’ Vall

Using scraps - making bonus blocks when sewing quilt blocks
thank you for explaining the use of "no batting" wow i thought it was mandatory when we sew a quilt im a beginner at this but according to you its not necessary and i think that is great so i wont feel guilty! love the look of your quilts.
God bless you
Thank you thank you thank you!! I want to make a Spiderman themed quilt for my grandson (he's a huge fan!);. Something small and lightweight that he can snuggle in. This makes me feel better about not doing the full on batting thing!
Oh my goodness! Soooo glad i bumped into your video❤... I am from the Philippines and quilting is not popular craft in my country (so quilting fabs and materials are commonly found), that's my first problem. But still I'm inlove with quilting. I thrive to make one, but my second problem is the batting_ (a) it's not easily available, (a.1) it's expensive. And my main concern is, we are in a tropical place. Meaning we don't have too cold/winter season. So I wonder if is it possible that I can still make patchwork WITHOUT the batting? that should fit our wet-and-dry only seasons_ _and how? I'm sooo relieved and thankful for your vlog. This is happy news for me!p
Can’t really see what you’re doing frame is all on you not much of the project
Thank you for demonstrating how to line a pillow with a zipper. I appreciate the time you took to show each step and how you approach each process. Thanks again ❤
❤ cute!!! From idaho
Vall.....beautiful fabrics.... Did you say milliner needles Or sharps??? What size??? Are straw needles the same ???? Sew joy your videos....your little shop is darling.... SueAnn from idaho❤
Hi SueAnn! Milliners are also called straw. You can use those or sharps, it’s more what your preference is than anything exact. Some are long, short etc. just make sure the eye is threadable for you and your fingers are not cramping.
🤩🙌 tfs!
Awe🥹thank you for taking the pressure off! I make many mistakes and would prefer to enjoy rather than feel bad😊😅
@@jamiep7602 love what you make!
How close together do you quilt it? Curious if a no batting quilt would droop or separate too much.
@@nataliehill9056 I do as little as I can to be honest. I usually just outline a motif or stitch in the ditch. No issues on my quilts yet
@@sewfundy oh nice! That’s (actually) quite a relief! 😅
I love this idea. Thank you.
@@jenihansen7201 Have fun sewing!
Thanks. My late grandma made me a quilt when i was a baby and she didnt use batting because we live in a warm place. Im in my 30s now ima do my first one without batting!
Love it
Love this
I made a quilt using some ruby star jelly rolls and I wanted to not use batting to give it more of a kantha feel to it, so I hand quilted it and used (stupidly) very high thread count Egyptian cotton. It destroyed my hands but I will say it feels amazing to use in summer. It’s heavy but cool at the same time. It’s 3 layers in total. Two sheets and one quilt top. 😂
I am about to make a summer quilt with of course no batting.
It’s beautiful
I agree…💐💐🌺
I have several summer spreads with no batting I grew up in Fl No AC then ! A sheet was all you needed! My grandmas and aunts made quilts with thin Mountain Mist batting that they split into 2 layers They only used one layer per quilts! So much easier to hand quilt! I have a log cabin top to finish and it doesn't need a batting either.Its nap or throw size just needs a small border and a back .Ill just tack it and machine the border like I did the last one They wash nicely and the one everybody wants if they aren't feeling well ! I dont compete and I do what I like ! Im the kid that colored Santa in plaid pajamas ! 😂
I really LOVE the work you did on your quilt, it looks absolutely beautiful, just my style. I also love how you stick up for yourself regarding the quilt police. Iam also a bit of a rebel with my quilting, no one is going to tell me what I like in my quilts. Years ago I was told that for a pale pink, blue and cream design I also needed to put a "zinger" in it. I dont know if you know that terminology, its like a cat among the pidgeons. Anyway, I said no to that, and the teacher didnt like me after that. I continued with my quilt and it turned out perfect for my blue bedroom, I still use it and love it immensely, so thank you for sharing !!!
That zinger bit is just awful!!! I have had that suggested to me on some quilts too.. how to kill a nice quilt! Lol
What size seam stitch on table runner.
I use 1/4 inch for piecing and finishing.
Quilt was out of view for much of this
Yes, when uploaded the bottom was cut off. I will do another video when I get a quilt ready.
Your runner is beautiful! So pretty! Do you still quilt it, to keep the layers together, when you don’t use batting? You must live in a warm climate, I’m guessing. 🌷
Sounds good to me. Could you show it when you finish the hand work? Thank you for a great original idea!👍
Will do 😊.
That is perfect, love it
Pretty quilt! Since i live in a state that borders Canada ❄, I put a layer of flannel as batting on my no batting quilts. 😂 Flannel is washed and dried on hot, 3x first.
Your seams are immaculate! What excellent work!
Thank you! I try very hard on no batting projects lol
I love it!❤
I love, respect and applaud your style and philosophy. No need to apologize to critics. Beg for forgiveness and offer explanations only when the quilt police come to arrest you.
i get confused because supposedly a quilt is not a true quilt without batting?
Ah, you've been talking to the quilt police.... A quilt is however you make!
Luv your advice about it’s your quilt… I give the same advice on my videos… beautiful quilt… just gorgeous… Angela👍😀😊🌺💐
Thank you! It’s something many need to hear. A pattern is a basis, to recreate it exact would leave it without personally. It’s great to hear it from others 😊. It’s like advocating for creativity lol
It's like a recipe! I always tweak those ! I don't always care for the colors or prints suggestions either So I do it my way🎉
Very true… a pattern is our guide but the journey is all ours….🌺💐🌸
This is great! My question is do the seams on the back of the top part show through on the bottom fabric on some way?
Very good question and yes they can. I do use a lot of off white so my backs tend to be off white and you can see to a degree. but as you dont show that side, its not really noticed in general. If the top contains no white, you can use any back you want.
Thank you. I have so many unfinished holiday quilts that I was bed covers, not blankets. So this helps to solve that. I am not good at working with batting lol
I like it! I think it looks really good! Thank you!
Thank you!! 😊
I like to use the No Batting method when making placemats and table runners. Hate to have my glass fall over on a fluffy place matt.
Same 😊.
New subscriber here. Just found you. Love your style and you dont preach perfection.
I’d love to see it when it’s finished. ❤
I will do a reveal once I get it done 😊
Just subscribed! You’re mine kind of quilter, love your style!
Thank you 😊
I have a king size quilt top and backing I made about 10yrs ago. Way too big for me to quilt on my machine. Too stressful to even think about handquilting. After watching this I think I can make it into a duvet cover. I actually love it and just want it on my bed one way or another! Thanks for the inspiration to finally get it done! ❤
That is a great idea! I hope it all works out for you!!
I just almost finished such a quilt. Had asked people about it some said go ahead and some said you have to have batting. I have the pieced to, a nearly new sheet and a fleece back. I actually love it!
What a gorgeous quilt! I love Lori's patterns, but they do look really time intensive!
They defintly can be. I do simplify my versions
Cute❣️
I’m not a Lori Holt projects fan, her stuff is way too fussy for me. I think she just way over does things, I, personally, don’t hv that kind of time. Her fabrics are ok and I do like the fact that her fabric lines coordinate with each other. I don’t want to hv to spend 300$ for one quilt. Jmo.
I totally get that! Even as a shop owner, I find her lines are way to big, no line needs more the 25 prints max. For this quilt, I took quite a few pieces off, it was extremely busy for no reason.
❤️ Beautiful! Thank you for sharing
Oh my gosh you have no idea how much I love actually seeing that someone besides me likes quilts with no batting! I have done a lot of patchwork over my sewing years but never call myself a quilter because I simply cannot be bothered to follow rules😂. I love the look of edge to edge quilting but would never ever personally use a quilt with batting … they are much to firm for me as I want my covers to melt and conform to my body shape. I don’t use interfacing in T-shirt “quilts” because I like a little stretch! 100% cotton? Puleese. I love going to the thrift store, finding used shirts in all sorts of fabrics and textures then making simple patchwork for babies. It is so awesome to watch a baby sitting or laying on a texture “quilt” and touching all the different fabrics. The light of discovery in their eyes is absolutely priceless.
OMG finally someone w the same thinking. I want to try quilting but I think I would'nt want to use batting. AS for T-shirt quilt I have been thinking not to use interfacing since I see most videos always use interfacing for the t-shirt quilts. I wonder if hand-sewing would be more suitable for non-interface t-shirt quilt.
I would imagine if you hate the thickness of cotton batting that poly was disgusting to you! :) It is definitely thicker. Yes, I agree with the others - you do what you want to do when it comes to quilting/piecing, and all things sewing. These are not right/wrong issues.
Hi. Just found and subscribed to your channel. You are close to 1,000 subscribers. Hope you get there soon. The quilt is so cute for summer. Thank you for the video. Have a nice day everyone.
Thanks for your video/tips. I’m in Texas and have wanted this method.
Camera is too high. Difficult to see what you are referencing
It was good until it uploaded and cut off the bottom. When I have another ready to quilt I will reshoot and hope it gets the full shot.
I’m SO happy you came into my feed ❣️ I’m NOT a quilter 🤦🏻♀️…my son in law asked me to make him a T-shirt quilt about 5 years ago. I AM a craft hoarder 🤣 I had fusible interfacing & a bag of polyester batting. Got my QAYG degree from UA-cam & made 2 quilts. His Mom saw them & asked if I would make her 1 with the shirts she had been saving from her Mom for 15 years.🙏 Would I also make 1 for her sister & by the way…she also saved her dad’s shirts🤦🏻♀️. I just finished the last one ❣️ (short video of it on my channel) Those quilts are HEAVY but they live in the North East so they LOVE them. I’m in FL. My brother in law asked me to make him one. He has ALS & I have to make it lighter 🤔….so from the bottom of my heart…Thank you🙏🥰🙏
What a beautiful quilt, lovely pattern, lovely colours & great idea to be a no batting quilt.
