Mastering Quilt-As-You-Go: Joining Rows with the Easy Cover Strip Method (Part 2 Now Live!)

We’re excited to share that Part 2 of our Quilt-As-You-Go tutorial series is now live on Pattern Poole TV!
In Part 1, we walked you through the essential first steps of our Easy Cover Strip Method—a fully machine-sewn technique designed to simplify the quilt-as-you-go process while delivering beautifully finished results. You learned how to:
Trim your quilt blocks precisely
Make the cover strips
Join individual blocks together to form rows
Now, in Part 2, we take the next big step: joining the rows and handling your quilt as it grows in size. One of the most common concerns among quilters using the QAYG method is managing bulk as the project gets bigger—and that’s exactly what Monica demonstrates in this video. You’ll see her expert tips for positioning, maneuvering, and stitching with confidence, no matter how large your quilt becomes.
This method is ideal for anyone looking to complete large quilts without the need for long-arm quilting or heavy lifting. It’s perfect for those working at a domestic sewing machine and wanting professional results with less stress.

I am heading off to work on the border video now before Mum flys out to Europe on Saturday. We will be delayed replying to emails as we must get this done!!!! I will check in with everyone tonight, but for our TTB course members, please note the course notes for this were provided last month. We hope you enjoy this video!
Lots of love,
Alaura and Monica xox
