Quilting
A
quilt consists of two layers of fabric
with
a
layer of batting
in between: A face layer (top side), a filling
product
(in
most
cases a
cotton, wool or
polyester batting) and
a
backing
layer. Patchwork is referred to as
sewing small pieces of
fabric together or on top of
each other
to
create the face
side of the quilt. Quilting means
joining the three layers of
material by hand
or with
the
sewing machine. As the three
layers are linked to
each other, more stability is given to the
fabric. The face side can be
even more embellished with
decorative stitches and
embroidery designs.
The
1/4 inch quilt and patchwork foot (optional
accessory) is particularly suitable for
joining
your
pieces
of
fabric. It facilitates sewing together pieces of
fabric
as
the clearance between the needle and the outer edge
of the foot is 1/4 inch
(6
mm) and the one
between the
needle and the inner
edge
of the foot isl/8 inch (3
mm).
For free motion quilting, use
the free-motion quilting
foot (optional
accessory). Thanks
to
its particularly big
opening, it allows
full
view
of the work surface.
Use quilt stitch No. 15, 16
or 17.
Use
invisible thread in
the needle. Use a
contrast or complementary polyester
or cotton
thread in
the
bobbin. The needle thread
tension
is
pre-set, set
the bobbin thread tension quite
slack to allow the
needle thread
to
pull the bobbin thread
to the top of your
quilt. When
you
sew the stitch on the
three layers of your
quilt,
you
should only
see
the triple
stitch of your bobbin thread.
The intermediate stitch
disappears and produces a
hand-stitched appearance.
Cut out
the pieces of
your
quilt top
using
templates you
have bought or made
yourself.
A
seam allowance of 1/4”
(6
mm) should already be
included in the templates.
Sew the
pieces together following the design instructions
to piece
the quilt top.
• Press the seam allowances of the
quilt towards the
darker fabric side.
Join the three layers by
hand
or
with the sewing
machine by sewing
over the
seam
allowance with
stitches No.
15, 16 and 17.
And
that
is
how you do:
