Decorative sewing/Specialty techniques Patchwork quilt Patchwork 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 developed into a creative hobby. A patchwork quilt consists of three layers of fabric, two layers of fabric with a layer of batting sandwiched between. Many pieces of fabric are joined together in patterns to form the top layer of the quilt. This is tacked to a middle layer of polyester or cotton batting and a backing layer. The quilt and patchwork foot (special accessory) is particularly helpful for sewing patchwork and quilting. The distance of the needle to the outer edge of the foot is 1/4 inch (6 mm) and 1/8 inch (3 mm) to the inner edge). In traditional quilting the three layers are joined together with small hand stitches to create beautiful family heirlooms. The sewing machine makes accomplishing this technique much easier and faster! The expression 2026 have quilt stitch No. 11, which enables you to quickly and easily achieve a hand-quilted look! Use invisible sewing thread (nylon monoÀlament) as the needle thread and wind the bobbin with cotton thread to contrast or blend with the colors of your quilt top. The needle thread tension must be set quite tight (7), and the bobbin thread tension quite loose (approximately 1/4 turn counterclockwise) 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 fabric of the quilt you only see the triple stitch of the bobbin thread. The intermediate stitch disappears and thus appears to be handquilted. Quilt stitch - 11 and 19 Quilt stitch 11 and 19 enable you to achieve a wonderful hand-quilted look. Stitch 11 works equally well for topstitching on jackets and overcoats. Combining the quilt stitch with other decorative stitches can create unique new patterns. 6:10
