Bernina 50 - Manual (Page 3)

Attach the right hand
guide to Walking Foot
#50 and set it at 3”
from the needle.
Tighten the screw
to hold it in place.
Place the guide on
the previously stitched
line and sew the same
decorative stitch on
each side of the two
diagonal lines.
Stitch all blocks of
the same fabric with
the same thread,
choosing a different
decorative stitch for
each block. Choose
open decorative
stitches, avoiding the
satin-based stitches.
Repeat until you have stitched 25 blocks.
When all blocks are stitched, trim to 10” squares.
Arrange the blocks as desired in a 5 x 5 grid.
With wrong sides
(backs) together, sew
five blocks together in
a row. Guide the edges
with the ¼” seam mark
on the walking foot.
Make 5 rows.
Press seam allowances
open—they will be on
the right side of the quilt.
With wrong sides
(backs) together, stitch
the rows together to
make a square.
Press seam allowances
open.
Select a zigzag stitch
with length = 2mm,
width = 5mm. Zigzag
the seams open using
a thread that is comple-
mentary to all the blocks,
as it will show on the
back of the quilt.
Spray starch the binding fabric. To avoid seaming,
fold the fabric at a diagonal so that when you cut the
bias strips in the next step you will be cutting strips
as long as possible.
Cut eight 1¾”-wide bias strips that are at least 52”
long (seaming if necessary). Set aside the rest of the
fabric.
