cegates Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Has anyone tried a quilt-as-you-go quilt on the longarm? It seems like it should be simple to do a strip quilt very quickly that way - but would like to hear from others before I try it. Thanks!

quilterkp Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 I am a very, very newbie LA quilter as I rent time on a machine, but one quilt I meandered freehand and the other three quilts were pantos. The freehand quilt went faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InesR Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 I have never done it, but thinking it thru, seems like you could. Will you start in the center and work out or will it be side to side? I think you would have to have fairly tight tension on your layers to keep from getting wrinkles. I don't know. Definately something to ponder. Can't wait to see how it comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilterkp Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 I am no expert, but I started in the lefthand top corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwiltr Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Do you mean like mount your back and batting then piece the top in strips as you go? Sounds doable if that's what you mean.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaC Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 After pondering this I am wondering how messy the back might be. Are you doing small sections and tieing off at the end of each strip? That would be time consuming but keep it tidy. I am curious about your process; keep us posted! It is fun trying new things.

lkl Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 If my memory is correct, I think I remember Dawn (APQS) teaching a Quilt As You Go class on a longarm in Edmonton a number of years ago. On second thought, It might have been appliquing using a LA. (Either way, it was a class, she might have the instructions for sale).
