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 particularly 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 (3.15 mm). Attach the 1/4 inch quilt and patchwork foot. Engage the dual feed (IDT). • Sew together your pieces of fabric using stitch 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. Stitch: 1 Stitch length: 2.5 Tension: 3 - 5 Quilting of the fabric layers In traditional quilting the three layers of fabric are joined with small hand stitches. This hand-stitched look can be accomplished faster and easier with the sewing machine (stitch 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 hand-stitched appearance. Adjust your needle and bobbin thread tensions as needed to produce the desired effect Stitch: 11 Stitch length: 3 - 4 Tension: 9 86
