QUILTING

A quilt always consists of three layers of material.
The top, middle and bottom.
The top layer is formed by multiple geometrically
shaped pieces of materials joined together.

No. 1

Straight stitch (Center Needle Position)

No. 8

Hand look Quilting Stitch

Straight Stitch / Patch Quilting Foot

CAUTION: To prevent accidents.

Do not change the needle position. Otherwise,
needle could hit the presser foot and break.

A. Joining the pieces of fabric
Join the pieces of fabric using Pattern No. 1 with a
seam allowance of 1/4 inch (6.3 mm)

B. Quilting
Sew three layers of material.
Use quilting bar to sew successive rows.
Insert quilting bar into the hole of presser foot
holder and set the space as you desire.

C. Hand Look Quilting Stitch (No. 8)
Use invisible nylon sewing thread or very
lightweight thread that matches the fabric on top.
Place thread that contrasts to the color of the
fabric on the bobbin.
Set the upper tension to maximum.
When you sew, bobbin thread will pull to the top
and give the appearance of a traditional hand
quilting stitch.

ELASTIC STITCH SEWING

with the fabric without breaking. Good for easy to
ravel and knit fabrics as well as joining durable
fabrics such as denims.
