? about using pillow cases method for downy quilts
#1
I got my second downy quilt and want to do it as quickly as possible as they ask you to send back w/i 2 weeks. I want to try to do the pillow case method to finish the quilt but am afraid to because of wrinkles when quilting the top because they ask you to do a lot of machine quilting. has anyone else done the pillow case method and have any suggestions to prevent wrinkles and tucks of fabric when quilting after the pillow case method

I did both of mine this way.
I pinned the batting to the front (from the front) and then put the backing on top, and pinned it too (lots of pins) -- pillowcased it, turned it right side out, pinned it some more, and then quilted it.

I quilt a lot of charity quilts and we use the pillowcase method almost entirely on these. We used to tie them, but now, our "tie-er person" has left the group, so I've been bringing them home to machine quilt. They are often a little off, so I lay them out and pin them, smoothing from the center. I free-motion machine quilt in fairly loose patterns using my darning foot and feeddog down position. I usually work from the center outward towards the edges. They come out pretty well this way.
