Lt,Q1dLIVt7 tVVIl iyijictiy tI II JI'..fU Patchwork quilt Patchwork and quilting are traditional handicraft techniques which were originally used by North American pioneer women to make use of left over fabric. Over the years it has developed into a creative hobby. A patchwork quilt consists of three layers. Many pieces of fabric are joined together in patterns to form the top layer of the quilt. This is tacked to a middle layer of polyester or cotton batting and a backing fabric. The quilt and patchwork foot (special accessory) is particularly helpful for sewing patchwork and quilting. The distance of the needle to the outer edge of the foot is 1/4 inch (6 mm) and 1/8 inch (3 mm) to the inner edge. In traditional quilting the three layers are joined together with small hand stitches to create beautiful family heirlooms. The sewing machine makes accomplishing this technique much easier and faster! The Quilt Expression 2044 and Expression 2034 have quilt stitch No. 11, which enables you to quickly and easily achieve a handquilted look! Use invisible sewing thread (nylon monofilament) as the needle thread and wind the bobbin with cotton thread to contrast or blend with the colors of your quilt top. The needle thread tension must be set quite tight (7), and the bobbin thread tension quite loose (approximately 1/4 turn counterclockwise) 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 fabric of the quilt you only see the triple stitch of the bobbin thread. The intermediate stitch disappears and thus appears to be hand-quilted. Quilt stitch-il and 15 Quilt stitch 11 and 15 enable you to achieve a wonderful hand-quilted look. Stitch 11 works equally well for topstitching on jackets and overcoats. Combining the quilt stitch with other decorative stitches can create unique new patterns. 104

Patchwork
quilt
Patchwork
and
quilting
are
traditional
handicraft
techniques
which
were
originally
used
by
North
American
pioneer
women
to
make
use
of
left
over
fabric.
Over
the
years
it
has
developed
into
a
creative
hobby.
A
patchwork
quilt
consists
of
three
layers.
Many
pieces
of
fabric
are
joined
together
in
patterns
to
form
the
top
layer
of
the
quilt.
This
is
tacked
to
a
middle
layer
of
polyester
or
cotton
batting
and
a
backing
fabric.
The
quilt
and
patchwork
foot
(special
accessory)
is
particularly
helpful
for
sewing
patchwork
and
quilting.
The
distance
of
the
needle
to
the outer
edge
of
the
foot
is
1/4
inch
(6
mm)
and
1/8
inch
(3
mm)
to
the
inner
edge.
In
traditional
quilting
the
three
layers
are
joined
together
with
small
hand
stitches
to
create
beautiful
family
heirlooms.
The
sewing
machine
makes
accomplishing
this
technique
much
easier
and
faster!
The
Quilt
Expression
2044
and
Expression
2034
have
quilt
stitch
No.
11,
which
enables
you
to
quickly
and easily
achieve
a
hand-
quilted
look!
Use
invisible
sewing
thread
(nylon
monofilament)
as
the
needle
thread
and
wind
the
bobbin
with
cotton
thread
to
contrast
or
blend
with
the
colors
of
your
quilt
top.
The
needle
thread
tension
must
be
set
quite
tight
(7),
and the
bobbin
thread
tension
quite
loose
(approximately
1/4
turn
counterclockwise)
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
fabric
of
the
quilt
you
only
see
the
triple
stitch
of
the
bobbin
thread.
The
intermediate
stitch
disappears
and
thus
appears
to
be
hand-quilted.
Quilt

and

Quilt
stitch
11
and

enable
you
to
achieve a
wonderful
hand-quilted
look.
Stitch
11
works
equally
well for
topstitching
on
jackets
and
overcoats.
Combining
the
quilt
stitch
with
other
decorative
stitches
can
create
unique
new
patterns.
