1 /4 inch Quilt and patchwork foot A quilt consists of two layers of fabric with a layer of batting sandwiched between. Many geometric pieces of fabric are joined together in continually changing 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 1/4 inch quilt and patchwork foot is parti cularly suitable for joining your pieces of fabric. The clearance between the needle and the outer edge of the foot is 1 /4 (6.3 mm) and between the needle and the inner edge of the foot 1/8" (3.1 5 mm). - Attach the 1/4 inch quilt and patchwork foot - Sew together your pieces of fabric using program 1 For a seam allowance of 1 /4" guide your fabric along the outer edge of the foot For a seam allowance of 1 /8 guide your fabric along the inner edge of the foot Program: I Stitch length: 2.5 Quilting of the fabric layers: In traditional quilting the three layers of fabric are joined with small hand stitches. This handstitched look can be accomplished faster and easier with the sewing machine (program 11). - Use invisible (monofilament) thread in the needle. Use a contrast or complementary polyester or cotton thread in the bobbin. - Set the needle thread tension to 7-9. Loosen the bobbin thread tension approximately 1/4 turn counterclockwise to allow the needle thread to pull the bobbin thread to the top side of your work. You may find it beneficial to purchase a second bobbin case (available from your PFAFF dealer) for working with specialty techniques and threads. - When you sew the stitch on the three layers of your quilt you should only see the triple stitch of your bobbin thread. The intermediate stitch disappears and thus produces a handstitched appearance. Adjust your needle and bobbin thread tensions as needed to pro duce the desired effect Tension: 3 - 5 Program: 11 Stitch length: 3 - 4 Tension: 9 106
