Free-motion stippling Free-motion stippling not only keeps the top, batting and back together, but it also adds texture and design to your quilt. • Set your sewing machine for stippling with a straight stitch (no. 1) and the free-motion program. • Attach the darning foot No. 6 or the optional Open-toe Free-motion foot. • Pin baste your quilt layers. • Prepare your quilt by pin basting through all layers with safety pins - starting from the middle of your quilt and working out. Place a pin about every 10 - 12 inches (25 - 30 cm). • Practice stippling on scraps of fabric and batting. When the feed dogs are lowered, you move the fabric to determine the stitch length. Sewing with a constant speed will help to keep the stitches even. Begin near the center of your quilt. Take one stitch and pull the bobbin thread to the top of the quilt. Take a few stitches right next to one another to secure the threads. Now move the quilt so that your stitching creates scrolls and swirls. The stitching should not cross itself - but travel in swivling stitches all over the quilt. Tip: Use the Free-motion guide grip to help move the quilt in a more consistent way. The Quilting table and Open-toe Free-Motion foot are extra accessories created to make your stippling easier. See your authorized Pfaff dealer to purchase. 5:8

Free-motion stippling
Free-motion stippling not only keeps the top, batting and back
together, but it also adds texture and design to your quilt.
•
Set your sewing machine for stippling with a straight stitch (no. 1)
and the free-motion program.
•
Attach the darning foot No. 6 or the optional Open-toe Free-motion
foot.
•
Pin baste your quilt layers.
•
Prepare your quilt by pin basting through all layers with safety pins
– starting from the middle of your quilt and working out. Place a
pin about every 10 – 12 inches (25 – 30 cm).
•
Practice stippling on scraps of fabric and batting. When the feed
dogs are lowered, you move the fabric to determine the stitch
length. Sewing with a constant speed will help to keep the stitches
even. Begin near the center of your quilt. Take one stitch and pull
the bobbin thread to the top of the quilt. Take a few stitches right
next to one another to secure the threads. Now move the quilt so
that your stitching creates scrolls and swirls. The stitching should
not cross itself – but travel in swivling stitches all over the quilt.
Tip:
Use the Free-motion guide grip to help move the quilt in a
more consistent way. The Quilting table and Open-toe Free-Motion
foot are extra accessories created to make your stippling easier. See
your authorized Pfaff dealer to purchase.
