Quilting
A quilt usually consists of three layers, two layers of
fabric with a layer of batting sandwiched between.
To sew three layers together, you have a wide
variety of stitches and techniques to choose from.
Straight stitch needle plate
Attach the straight stitch needle plate when piecing
your quilt. The smaller hole in the straight stitch
needle plate supports the fabric closer to the
needle and helps prevent the fabric from being
pulled down into the bobbin area, especially at the
beginning and/or end of a seam.
Patchwork program
The patchwork program makes it possible for you
to program an exact seam length that can be sewn
repeatedly. This is very useful when quilting,
especially when piecing many quilt blocks of the
same size.
See page 4:12 on how to use the patchwork
program.
Piecing the quilt top
Cut out the pieces of fabric for your quilt top with
a seam allowance of ¼" (6mm). Snap on the ¼"
quilting foot with
IDT
™
system; position the fabric
under the foot so that the cut edge is aligned with
the outer edge of the toe of the foot.
Press the seam flat to lock the stitches, then open
the pieces and press the seam allowance to one side.
When possible, press seam allowances towards the
darker fabric.
Assemble the pieces according to the pattern
instructions. Layer the pieced quilt top with batting
and backing. Pin baste the layers together in
preparation for quilting.
