You’ve heard of paint by number, but today we’re bringing you the quilting version! Our friend June Tailor came to visit and taught us everything you need to know about quilting as you go. Keep reading for four free video tutorials and a bonus video where Kimberly shows her quilt as you go skills while making a table runner!
What is Quilt As You Go?
Quilt as you go projects allow for quilting in smaller sections. It’s popular for quilting blocks or parts of a project before attaching them instead of quilting at the end before any binding.
With June Tailor, quilt as you go and sew by number projects include patterns printed directly on the batting and instructions for each step. They’re perfect for beginner quilters!
Jelly Roll Friendly Tote Bag
Quilt As You Go Sew By Number Alexandra Tote Bag is a quick, fun project to create a durable, quilted tote. This project is excellent for using your favorite jelly rolls or the strips in your stash.
Cross Stitch Project Bag
The Zippity-Do-Done Project Bags from June Tailor come with a variety of color options including white, black, gray, camel, red, and navy. They’re also the perfect size to organize your cross stitch projects and safely store everything between stitches!
Mix & Match Quilt
Mix and Match 12 Block Quilt Kit is a fun project to create a unique addition to your home. This kit is perfect for using fabrics from your stash and finishes at 44″ x 58″.
How to use Pre-made Binding
