114 inch Quifting foot with DT A quilt consists of two layers of fabric with a layer of batting sandwiched between. Many pieces of fabric can be joined together in continually changing patterns to form the top layer of the quilt. The 1/4 inch quilt 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 foot. • Sew pieces of fabric together 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. 1/4 Inch Quilting Foot with IDT Stitch: 1 Stitch !ength: 2.5 Tension: 3 5 82021 1096 Qui[ting multiple fabric layers in traditional quilting, three layers of fabric are joined with small hand stitches. This handstitched look can be accomplished faster and easier with the sewing machine (stitch 11). • Use invisible (monofilament) thread in the needle. Use a contrast or matching polyester or cotton thread in the bobbin. • Set the needle thread tension to T9. • 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 handstitched appearance. Adjust your needle thread tensions as needed to produce the desired effect. Tip: You might want to purchase an accessory bobbin case for special techniques. Equipment loosing bobbin thread tension for this quilting. Stitch: 11 Stitch length: 3 Tension: 9 104
