6-8 6 Embroidery Assistant White Quilt The white quilt is known to be one of the most precious ones. It also used to be referred to as wedding quilt. As far as its style is concerned, this quilt follows a very old technique. It is called Trapunto, has its origin in Italy and was later adopted by the wives of American settlers. It owes its neat relief-like look to the interplay of areas which have been quilted and areas which haven't been quilted, which makes it particularly suitable for quilting with the sewing machine. In this example the free-motion quilting technique was used. a technique where you move the fabric under the presser foot without the feeding motion of the machine. Select needle thread and bobbin thread according to the color of the fabric. And that is how you do: • Draw lines or ornaments of your choice on a blanket, using a fabric marker. • Attach the darning foot, the feed dog is disengaged. Select straight stitch. • Place the prepared blanket, which has been secured with big basting stitches, under the presser foot. • Roll the blanket together on the right so that you can continue to move it easily under the presser foot. • If you press the foot control, the darning foot is automatically lowered to the darning position. • Move the blanket at medium speed steadily along the drawn lines. Tip: Start from the middle of the quilt. Quilt cards Great quilt effect with little work, On the Creative cards No. 29 and 50 there are very special, attractive quilt designs.
