Quilting Quilting is a traditional sewing technique. The method that the wives of American settlers developed to make use of material remnants has become an artistic hobby with many enthusiasts in our country, too. A quilt always consists of three layers of material. Lots of geometrically shaped pieces of material are joined together in continually changing patterns to form the top layer of the auilt. This is tacked onto the middle layer made of polyester padding and connected to the back layer of the quilt that usually consists of one uniform piece of material The entire quilt is often also bordered with the back layer. Of course, the work of piecing the individual bits of material together must be very precise. Trie Dual Feed is of particular assistance when doing this. And this is what you do. Cut out the parts of your quilt with templates you have bought or made your self. A seam allowance of 0,7 cm should already be included in the templates. - Spread out the parts as in the pattern and form small squares that you can match together. These squares are then sewn together to form the surface of the quilt. - The seam allowances of quilts are not serged up but just smoothed out - never i1 roned In traditional quilts these three layers of material are sewn together by hand with small stitches - but it is quicker and more practical with the sewing machine e.g. with the program ID stretch or L stretch. There is always stitching about 3 mm beside the seam. Embroidered stitches look very good on plain coloured material. Use foot number 0 for this work. When your quilt is finished you can make it into cushions, wall hangings or bed covers. 67
