Patching
and
quilting
are
traditional
handicraft
techniques
which
were
originally
used
by
north
American
pioneer
women
to
make
use
of
leftover
fabric.
Over
the
years
it
has
develo
ped
into
a
creative
hobby.
Patchwork
quilts
used
to
be
sewn
exclusively
by
hand.
Nowadays,
however,
you
have
the
possibility
to
make
your
creative
ideas
a
reality
in
a
much
shorter
time.
A
patchwork
quilt
always
consists
of
three
lay
ers
of
fabric:
A
number
of
geometric
pieces
of
fabric
are
combined
in
different
variations
to
create
a
patchwork
which
forms
the
top
of
the
quilt.
This
is
then
basted
to
a
fleece
layer
and
then
sewn
onto
the
back
of
the
quilt
which
usually
consists
of
one
piece
of
fabric.
The
entire
quilt
is
often
bound
by
this
bottom
layer.
—
Using
your
own
or
commercially
available
templates,
cut
the
pieces
you
need
for
your
patchwork.
The
templates
should
include
a
seam
allowance
of
1/4
inch
(0.63
cm).
—
Spread
these
pieces
out
in
front
of
you
in
accordance
with
the
pattern
and
form
small
squares
which
you
can
then
put
together.
These
squares
will
then
be
sewn
together
and
will
form
the
top
ply
of
the
quilt.
—
The
seam
allowances
are
not
serged
when
quilting,
but
rather
they
are
to
be
smoothed
down,
never
ironed!
—
Baste
the
finished
top
ply
of
the
quilt
onto
the
fleece
insert
and
the
bottom
quilt
layer.
—
Traditionally,
these
three
fabric
layers
are
sewn
together
with
small
manual
stitches
this
procedure
is
faster
and
more
practical
with
a
sewing
machine,
e.g.
with
the
straight
stitch
or
the
program
I
stretch
(only
on
model
4260).
Always
sew
approximately
3
mm
next
to
the
seam.
Use

You

continue
to
