Square Grid Quilting Design - Design #4 (This is How You Quilt It)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- The simple all-over grid walking foot quilting design is a versatile design that will fill up a quilt fast. It looks great on a square or rectangular quilt and can leave your quilt nice and snuggly. Or if you want a stiffer quilt for a wall hanging, a dense grid will give you a nice flat quilt to hang.
This is one of my go-to designs when I’m in a hurry and need to finish a project fast!
I’m showing you four example quilts in this video, including curved piecing and on-point, so make sure to stick around to the end.

I loved the way it worked on the Winding Ways. It made the curved pieces look like butterflies.
I hadn't noticed that before that's a nice secondary pattern. Thanks for pointing that out!
So glad I was referred to your site. Love your teaching methods.
Awesome, thank you for the kind words. I hope you find the videos helpful!
Hi! I hope you had a fun day! I spent my day in my sewing room getting a big project done and now I get to sit and watch your video while I make yarn. I hope you have a fabulous week ahead. Thank you for posting this video and sharing your positive energy.
Wonderful! I've never made yarn but sounds like fun. Enjoy!
I couldn’t sew straight even if I was being paid 😂
Love ya work 🤩
LOL I am definitely getting better through practice, but I need my drawn lines to keep me right otherwise we have curves :-)
You know that's funny as I find that if I go too slow I find it harder to stay straight as well, a medium speed is the best for me anyway
Now I know what I was doing wrong I’ve been making my lines too close together thanks for another great tutorial 💜
You are so welcome! I'm glad it was helpful!
Wonderful video! Lovely samples. You are so talented. Thank you so much for sharing. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and yours. ❤️ 😃
You're so kind, thank you!!
Bless you, this series is teaching me a lot. i have all my samples ready to quilt. When will the book be available?
Glad you are enoying it! I'm hoping to release the book around October 2023 time.
Q? Why do you always start from the same side when doing your straight lines? Since it is a small square, wouldn’t it be easier to finish a line of stitching, flip the quilt 180°, then stitch the next line going in the other direction?
It's just habit for filming. When I sew a full size project, I alternate the direction of my lines to avoid puckering.
When I quilt a grid like this, why would I get puckers with my walking foot and none without?
What's the name of the curved piecing block please? Hubby came in and really liked it and is asking for a quilt made of it. Nothing like a challenge I really don't much enjoy curved piecing - far too stressful 😄
I think he said "winding ways"
@@lexitejeda6209 thanks I'll go look for a pattern 🙂
Yes it's called Winding Ways. I have never made it but I did find these instructions (Can't vouch for them though: www.allpeoplequilt.com/quilt-patterns/quilt-throws/winding-ways). I dont' really enjoy curved piecing either, but I will keep trying :-)
Don’t you cut the thread before going back up?
You can, or you can sew along the edge and then start your new line without cutting thread. Some people say this saves thread as the thread cutters on sewing machines waste thread. I guess it's personal preference.
Squint?
It's a scottish word for a something that isn't straight - "The line was squint" i.e the line wasn't straight.
On some of your examples, would this not be like stitch in the ditch? The spacing on the grid seems to land right where the seams come together. How would you highlight the quilting rather than stitching in the ditch?
Hi Angie - It depends on the quilt and the quilt blocks. The example you are talking about would be stitch in the ditch in which case it woud just add texture. To highlight you could always sew the line just to the side of the ditch, like 1/8 so it shows. Hope that helps!
@@TheColourBlindQuilter thanks for the tip. Texture is good too depending on what you want for the end result I guess. Thanks for all your help and inspiration. Looking forward to the next video.
