PATCHWORK QUILTING
Patchwork quilting can be used
effectively on a wide range of
household items.
Cut fabric squares to the desired
size.
Join the alternating squares with
the straight stitch.
Finger-press open.
After stitching, cut a backing to the
full size of the finished work.
Create a quilted effect by basting a
padding layer to the backing.
Stitch lengthwise and crosswise,
overlapping the patches so the
seams are straddled.
Pull the threads to the underside of
the work, and trim.
Finish by sewing a binding to the
edges.
