Iting Patchwork and quilting Patchwork and quilting are traditional hand craft techniques to make use of left-over fabric. Over the years it has developed into a creative hobby. Traditionally patchwork was sewn by hand. Today your creative ideas can be realized in a much shorter time with I your Pfaff Expression. A quilt consists of three layers, two layers of fabric with a layer of batting sandwiched between. I L t Piecing the quilt top Cut out the pieces of fabric for your quilt top using templates. A seam allowance of ¼" (6 mm) should already be included in the templates. Snap on the optional ¼" quilting foot. Sew the pieces together following the design instructions to piece the quilt top. The seam allowance of quilts are usually pressed towards the darker fabric side. Baste the completed quilt top to the batting and backing. In traditional quilts these three layers of material are then sewn together by hand with small stitches. However, it is quicker and more practical with your Pfaft Expression, e.g. with stitch 27 (11/2034) using monofilament thread on top and regular or decorative thread in the bobbin. When the quilting is finished simply bind the edges or make it into cushions, wearable art or other smaller projects. 78

Iting
Patchwork
and
quilting
Patchwork
and
quilting
are
traditional
hand
craft
techniques
to
make
use
of
left-over
fabric.
Over
the
years
it
has
developed
into
a
creative
hobby.
Traditionally
patchwork
was
sewn
by
hand.
Today
your
creative
ideas
can
be
realized
in
a
much
shorter
time
with
your
Pfaff
Expression.
A
quilt
consists
of
three
layers,
two
layers
of
fabric
with
a
layer
of
batting
sandwiched
between.
Piecing
the
quilt
top
Cut
out
the
pieces
of
fabric
for
your
quilt
top
using
templates.
A
seam
allowance
of
¼”
(6
mm)
should
already
be
included
in
the
templates.
Snap
on
the
optional
¼”
quilting
foot.
Sew
the
pieces
together
following
the
design
instructions
to
piece
the
quilt
top.
The
seam
allowance
of
quilts
are
usually
pressed
towards
the
darker
fabric
side.
Baste
the
completed
quilt
top
to
the
batting
and
backing.
In
traditional
quilts
these
three
layers
of
material
are
then
sewn
together
by
hand
with
small
stitches.
However,
it
is
quicker
and
more
practical
with
your
Pfaft
Expression,
e.g.
with
stitch
27
(11/2034)
using
monofilament
thread
on
top
and
regular
or
decorative
thread
in
the
bobbin.
When
the
quilting
is
finished
simply
bind
the
edges
or
make
it
into
cushions,
wearable
art
or
other
smaller
projects.
