• Quilting
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 quHttng on entire garments
or parts of garments, such as yokes,
pockets, cuffs and collars, it is also
popular tor table lashions. In addition to
straight stitch quilting, you can quilt with
decorative stitches or stitch pattern
combinations.
To do quiiting successfully, follow these simple steps:
1. Loosen the quitter screw on the back of the presser toot as shown.
2. Slide the quilting guide into the opening under the screw to the width between lines
of quilling 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 ot 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 page 74). Position you
fabric and bartack.
