Hand-Look Quilt Stitch
3.5 2.0–3.0 6–9
Set up for hand-look quilt stitch
Simulate the look of handmade quilting with the Hand-look
Quilting stitch. Thread the needle with either transparent
thread or with a thread that blends with the color of the top of
the fabric. Thread the bobbin with a thread color that
coordinates or contrasts with the top of the fabric, depending
on the look you want for your project (the bobbin thread will
actually appear on the top of the fabric).
Tip: Use a size 100 Topstitch Needle for an even greater effect.
A. Bobbin thread
B. Top thread
• To get the accurate hand stitched look it is important that
the stitch is sewn using a high thread tension. Make sure to
set the tension according to the recommendations in the
stitch chart.
• Stitch along one of the seams of your project, or around an
appliqué. The handlook effect is created as the bobbin
thread is pulled up to the top of the quilt.
