The Stitch and Its Uses
Quilting is stitching two layers of fabric
together with batting in between to add
dimension and warmth.
Traditionally, quilting has been used for bed
covers, but now it is used everywhere.
You can use quilting on entire garments or
parts of garments, such as yokes, pockets,
cuffs and collars. It is also popular for table
fashions.
In
addition
to
straight
stitch
quilting,
you
can
quilt
with
decorative
stitches or stitch pattern combinations.
To do quilting successfully, follow these simple steps:
1.
Loosen the quilter screw on the back of the presser foot as shown.
2.
Slide the quilting guide <D) into the opening under the screw to the width
between lines of quilting stitches you desire.
3.
Tighten the screw.
4.
Sew the first row of stitching.
5.
Sew other rows, guiding the quilting guide over the previous row of stitching,
NOTE; When you are quilting large areas, tack the layers together with the
basting stitch. Then quilt from the center out.
Another quilting variation;
Instead of quilting with rows of straight stitches, you can bartack your quilt at
regular intervals.
Set up the machine as if you were going to sew a button (see p. 39), Position
your fabric and bartack.
