Traditional embroidery iechniques And this is what you do Cut out the pieces of your quilt top us ing templates you have bought or made yourself. A seam allowance of 1/4 (6.3 mm) should already be included in the templates. Spread these pieces out in front of you in accordance with the pattern and form small squares which you can then put together. These squares will then be sewn together and will form the top ply of the quilt. The seam allowances of quilts are usu ally not serged and are always pressed towards the darker fabric side. Baste the completed quilt top to the batting and backing. In traditional quilts these three layers of material are then sewn together by hand with small stitches. However, it is quicker and more practical with the sewing machine, i.e. with the straight stitch. Quilting is usually stitched about 3 mm away from the seam. Use foot number 0 or the quilt and patchwork foot (see page 46). When the quilting is finished you can simply bind the edges or make it into cushions, wearable art or other smaller projects. 4()
