My "Casing" Method | A Quilt-As-You-Go Game Changer

In today’s video, I’m sharing a Quilt-As-You-Go game changer: my "Casing" method for joining blocks. If you've ever struggled with bulky seams or pins poking you while joining scrap blocks, this technique is for you. This simplified method uses a "casing" approach that is flexible, beginner-friendly, and perfect for the 2026 Stars and Stripes Quilt Challenge—or any QAYG project you’re working on. Why this method is a game-changer: *No Pins Needed: I show you how to use washable school glue to hold everything in place. *Scrap Friendly: Use any width of seam binding and any scrap fabric you have on hand. I’ll walk you through each step slowly and clearly so you can sew along with confidence. A special thank-you to April from Sew & Quilt with April Sawtelle for testing this method and offering helpful feedback that led to this revised version.
