How To Piece Quilt Backing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2023
- In today's video I share how to piece your quilt backing. I show how to make it just using the amount of yardage for the quilt. Then I show you how to align your backing to continue a design in the fabric. I hope this helps. Also I highly recommend the Robert Kaufman Quilting Calculator. It helps me every time with getting the right amount of fabric for my backings.

Thanks For Watching 🙂
Once again thank you for being a great teacher.
Best directional fabric piecing I have seen. Thank you!
Thanks so much for the Fabric Calculator App. I know my brain will thank you many times when we no longer need to do the math!♥
Thank you Tiffany ❤
Beautiful gluing technique! I never would've thought of that... 😮❤
That was the best video and lessons taught, you’re really the best Tiffy. Thanks so much. 🇦🇺❤️
Thank you! 😃
I love that puppy material
Such a beautiful job! I am so impressed with how well you lined up the dogs. I am sure I could never do that as well you did. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us once again.
Thank you so much!
Excellent demonstration!! Saving this for future reference!!
Thanks so much for doing this video I was always confused on the first step as to how you cut it. This made so much sense to me thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!
What a great way to line up the print on the backing. Thanks for the tip!
I always check each side of fabric for matching, some times your match will require less loss to match up.. love your videos. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for showing us all how you do your backing. Very helpful to those of us that are new to quilting. 🐝🐝🇳🇿
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much, I learn a lot from you!
Thanks for the detailed, visual piecing instructions. This is so very helpful.😊
Another great video Tiffany!!!
Good morning Tiffany, happy Wednesday
Same to you!
This video is invaluable to me. I have been wanting to at least quilt my smaller quilts on my sit down quilting machine, but have been afraid to start because of the backing. This has helped me a lot. Thanks, Tiffany
Glad it was helpful!
Very informative, I have always pieced my backs because I had mostly purchased fat quarters not yardage. Enjoyed the back matching.
Wow. This is one of the best quilting videos I have ever seen. Thank you so much for taking the time to show the step-by-step process.
You are so welcome!
I just added the app to my phone. Thanks for the info
Thank you Tiffany! Very helpful. ❤
Great tutorial
Thanks for sharing. This is first video I have seen to do pieced background. Makes my doubts in me, just go away.
Glad it was helpful!
Ty for an amazing tutorial on backing.
My pleasure!
Great video Tiffany ! you never get to old to learn something new everyday , and i love watching you because I can learn something new LOL yes me . Thank you and Scottie and thumper, And tell them i said hi !
Thank you 😊
So happy with this video. Thank you Tiffany, you did it again.
I just watched how to make a quilt back, matching patterns, and plain. Thank you for that. I know it is from an older progra.. I am new to quilting, been doing my own thing. Still come out pretty. Put new ideas is great. Thankd
Glad it was helpful!
Great information. Thank you for showing a beginner.
You are so welcome!
You were brilliant today you explained everything so well l will be trying one of these methods when l finish the quilt I’m working on so thank you so much. From France 🇫🇷
Thank you 😊
I learned something today. Thanks
Glad to hear it!
I loved this video!!❤❤ You showed such an easy way to piece backing that I am not terrified to try it.
You can do it!
Hello from South Greenland! Enjoying all your videos! Have a great day!!! :) :)
Thank you! You too!
Thank you Tiffany for the step by step tutorial. I have a backing that I need to piece and watching you make this has been helpful. I have not used glue on one I pieced before. But will be trying the glue stick to help me piece the backing. It has been a long while since I have needed to piece a back so this video was perfect timing. Hugs 🤗
Glad it was helpful!
You did a great job on that backing. Thanks so much for helping us. I'm just a beginner so I am double happy that I saw this and learned from you.😊😊😊
Glad it was helpful! 😊
Great demonstration! Doggie backing is perfectly lined up--wow! BTW I use Robert Kaufman's Quilting Calculator too. Love it, it's so helpful for backings and binding.
Awesome! Thank you!
Years ago I sewed a multi fine plaid corduroy jumper. I had to deal with the nap and the small multiple plaids. It was very pretty when I finished. Beautiful pinks, purples, blues etc.
Very good job. I learned a lot
Thank you Tiffany ! This is so helpful . 👍👍😃
Thank you so much I learned from this. ❤
Very helpful, thanks!
I loved this show and learned a lot. Thank you very much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a wonderful video. I have a longarm and I didn’t know the selvage is so much thicker. Love the glue tip for matching fabrics that need matching. Thank you so much for explaining the different techniques. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much very good information
Love this one Tiffany ❤
Tiffany, thank you so much for this excellent video! Backings always confuse me. This will definitely help me.
Glad it was helpful!
Morning ❤☀️
Hello 👋
Fantastic video ty Tiffany
Great video… thank you !😊
Good morning❤️💐
Good morning
Thank you for sharing, I use the RK calculator app for borders and binding as well. It's a headache saver.
Thank you Tiffany for your great tips. I just downloaded the quilt calculator app
It will take the headache out of the math 😊
Great job! Lots of good info especially the calculating app. It will come in handy saving tons of scribble notes everywhere. I heard of it once not long ago but forgot where 😂... see you're not the only one who forgets 😵💫
Glad it was helpful!
@@TiffanysQuiltingLife I was buying all 108"s but now I can use up some bigger chunks of 45" or make patchwork backs. Big help!
Ohh Tiffany you are soo wonderfull!!! I thank you so much for this video it was absolutely needed in my case lol!!!! you are a awsome teacher and i love all you do!! Thanks soo much again. I do my quilting on my sewing machine and kinda struggle with backing ....ima try this for sure!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
You are so welcome!
Of ALL the quilting creators out there..this is the FIRST time I have seen someone do this part of the finishing process. It is the most clumsy and awkward part of "finishing" the quilt. THANKS so much. Have you ever taken 2 pieces of 108"s and then put batting in the middle and quilt it?
I have yet to make a wholecloth quilt other than samples and play pieces.
I just got thru sewing 3- 1 1/2 cuts pieces together for a bed runner matching the repeat pattern because fabric was directional. Boy, was that fun!! I usually try to get 108 wide fabric, but print wasn't available. My sewing space is small, but I got it done. 😊.
That sounds like a bunch of work wow
I love RK app it’s awesome
I was thinking that Tiffany never see you pin I was shocked lol
I always pin backing when it's long seams like this
Good morning Tiffany
Good morning!
great info!
I am also so happy that you showed and explained in detail how to do the backing of quilts. My question now is when you use the 108 fabric; do you center the top in the center or do you start in one of the corners? Thank you 😊 again.
I actually lay it to the left side so that all the leftover side can be used for binding or whatever.
U made it look so easy
1 yd is 36", so 1/6 th is 6". Thank-you so much, I have a few tops done, have never backed any yet. I know how to match patterns, from making curtains. You never know where skills will come in handy later.
Thanks 😊 you know me and math are not friends haha 😆 🤣 🙃
@@TiffanysQuiltingLife i get you, math is not good for me either. I learned emperial at school, then they changed to metric, and I re-learned it all, still at school. So I had to dredge up the dusty unused recesses of my mind, when I started Quillting. It's a lot easier to use inches than 278cm, or 2780mm. How am I supposed to get 1/4 or 1/2 from that lot. My brain switches off with those big figures. 12 inches is on all the rulers, and so easy to halve, quarter or thirds it, along with all of those odd fractions, no math needed. If it's too tedious, to find the fractions, I draw a scaled pic and measure the bits, or make a template The only good bit I can see in metrage, is it's a bit longer than yardage, so we get a bit more fabric to play with, and our fqs are a bit closer to 20" than18". I cannot get my head round changing yardage to metrage, so I just buy the same number of metres instead. The computers in the cash registers cannot do yardage, and the shops don't often cut 15cm, a little more than 6", so I end up having to get a bit more anyway. 1 yard is around 90 cm, so 1 metre or 100 cm, or 1000mm is 10 cm longer, or around 4" extra. My tape measures for sewing clothes have both measurements on them, clothing seam allowances are 1/2" or 1.5cm, and 1/4" for quilting, is 7 or 8mm, which is too complicated to measure, the machine has inches if you buy a quilting one. so That makes things easy too. Builders like metric numbers, and 20.3mm etc., they can get odd fits easier. I've seen metric cutting rulers, but the shops also sell inch rulers for quilting and mats as well. A short school ruler is 6" and 15cm, and a 12" one is 30 cm. I hope you can use some of my ramblings online with your aussie friends? I still sometimes question, bags etc, with 1/4" seams, where there will be pressure on the seams, as that's why clothes have wider seams, and no pressure on seams means quilts only need 1/4". All the best.
Thank you for all that 😉
You make that look so easy Tiffany ❤❤ Are you always up so early?
Between 5 and 6am
❤❤❤
I just finished a quilt that is 109" square. I was able to purchase some 120" wide fabric for it.
I can never find any I like in the cotton sheeting uhggg
You can use the party, cutting off the faucet, cutting or making into square patches where the puppies are
Not sure what your talking about 🤔
OMG I love that you hang your quilt tops up in the closet instead of folding them and putting them in a drawer. I much rather have a closet full of my quilt tops instead of clothes.
Look at all the quilt tops! 😂
Wondering if you have ever done the diagonal cut on printed fabric. Just saw demonstration of this technique in a post yesterday. It appears you can really extend your width.
No I haven't, I have seen it done though. It's pretty much the same as turning 1 fat quarter into a bigger piece.
Thank you! Just downloaded the App! Question about the double-sided tape... will it gum up the needle?
I have not had issues with the double sided tape I use. I hear some brands may be different though. But I use this dollar store Crafters brand on bags all the time and never have issues.
Is there a reason why you press the seam open or is it personal preference?
It don't create a bump on the back of the quilt. And if I load it vertically on the longarm it also is less of a bump on the roll so it doesn't shift with a tight pulling. So it's a mix of personal preference and making it easier on the longarm to quilt 😊
Where did you get your pin holder?
It's from FQS shrsl.com/4gqec
Why did you come over 1 block instead of lining up with 1st block?
Not sure what ya mean?
