6. Embroidery Assistant 6-7 Quilting A quilt consists of two layers of fabric with a layer of batting in between: A face layer (top side), a filling product (in most cases a cotton, wool or polyester batting) and a backing layer. Patchwork is referred to as sewing small pieces of fabric together or on top of each other to create the face side of the quilt. Quilting means joining the three layers of material by hand or with the sewing machine. As the three layers are linked to each other, more stability is given to the fabric. The face side can be even more embellished with decorative stitches and embroidery designs. The 1/4 inch quilt and patchwork foot (optional accessory) is particularly suitable for joining your pieces of fabric. It facilitates sewing together pieces of fabric as the clearance between the needle and the outer edge of the foot is 1/4 inch (6 mm) and the one between the needle and the inner edge of the foot isl/8 inch (3 mm). For free motion quilting, use the free-motion quilting foot (optional accessory). Thanks to its particularly big opening, it allows full view of the work surface. Use quilt stitch No. 15, 16 or 17. Use invisible thread in the needle. Use a contrast or complementary polyester or cotton thread in the bobbin. The needle thread tension is pre-set, set the bobbin thread tension quite slack 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 your quilt, you should only see the triple stitch of your bobbin thread. The intermediate stitch disappears and produces a hand-stitched appearance. And that is how you do: Cut out the pieces of your quilt top using templates you have bought or made yourself. A seam allowance of 1/4" (6 mm) should already be included in the templates. Sew the pieces together following the design instructions to piece the quilt top. • Press the seam allowances of the quilt towards the darker fabric side. Join the three layers by hand or with the sewing machine by sewing over the seam allowance with stitches No. 15, 16 and 17.

6-7
Quilting
A
quilt
consists
of
two
layers
of
fabric
with
a
layer
of
batting
in
between:
A
face
layer
(top
side),
a
filling
product
(in
most
cases
a
cotton,
wool
or
polyester
batting)
and
a
backing
layer.
Patchwork
is
referred
to
as
sewing
small
pieces
of
fabric
together
or
on
top
of
each
other
to
create
the face
side
of
the
quilt.
Quilting
means
joining
the
three
layers
of
material
by
hand
or
with
the
sewing
machine.
As
the
three
layers
are
linked
to
each
other,
more
stability
is
given
to
the
fabric.
The
face
side
can
be
even
more
embellished
with
decorative
stitches
and
embroidery
designs.
The
1/4
inch
quilt
and patchwork
foot
(optional
accessory)
is
particularly
suitable
for
joining
your
pieces
of
fabric.
It
facilitates
sewing
together
pieces
of
fabric
as
the
clearance
between
the
needle
and the
outer
edge
of
the
foot
is
1/4
inch
(6
mm)
and
the
one
between
the
needle
and
the
inner
edge
of
the
foot
isl/8
inch
(3
mm).
For
free
motion
quilting,
use
the free-motion
quilting
foot
(optional
accessory).
Thanks
to
its
particularly
big
opening,
it
allows
full
view
of
the
work
surface.
Use
quilt
stitch
No.
15,
16
or
17.
Use
invisible
thread
in
the
needle.
Use
a
contrast
or
complementary
polyester
or
cotton
thread
in
the
bobbin.
The
needle thread
tension
is
pre-set,
set
the
bobbin
thread
tension
quite
slack
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
your
quilt,
you
should
only
see
the
triple
stitch
of
your
bobbin
thread.
The
intermediate
stitch
disappears
and
produces
a
hand-stitched
appearance.
Cut
out
the
pieces
of
your
quilt
top
using
templates
you
have
bought
or
made
yourself.
A
seam
allowance
of 1/4”
(6
mm)
should
already
be
included
in
the templates.
Sew the
pieces
together
following
the
design
instructions
to
piece
the
quilt
top.
•
Press
the
seam
allowances
of
the
quilt
towards the
darker
fabric
side.
Join
the
three
layers
by
hand
or
with
the
sewing
machine
by
sewing
over the
seam
allowance
with
stitches
No.
15,
16
and
17.
And
that
is
how you
do:
