Free-motion quilting and darning
The two techniques are based on the same Free motion principles.
Poor stitch formation
if thread is lying on top of the fabric, slow down the movement of
the material
if there are knots on the wrong side of the fabric, move the
material more quickly
Monofilament breaks
Reduce the motor speed and/or loosen the upper thread tension.
Thread breaks
Guide the fabric more consistently.
Holding the work
⦁
hold the work with both hands like an embroidery frame, close to the
presser foot
Quilting a design
⦁
quilt from the center outwards
⦁
guide the work using smooth, round movements to form the design of your
choice
Stipple quilting
this technique covers the entire surface of the fabric with quilt stitches
the lines of stitching are rounded and never cross one another
Quilt gloves with rubber fingertips will help when guiding the work.
