Reversible Piecing
Thread the serger for a 4-thread overlock stitch. Set all tensions for a
balanced 4-thread overlock.
Optional: Increase the presser foot pressure for thick fabrics.
Create a quilt sandwich, layering the 4” fabrics as follows: 2 layers of
muslin (right sides together), one layer of batting, 2 layers of printed
fabric (right sides together) and a layer of batting on top.
Raise the presser foot and position the fabrics under it with the right
edges of the fabric and batting even with the left edge of the knife.
Serge the 6 layers together, stopping as necessary to keep the right
edges of the fabrics even. Open the layers (1 muslin, 1 quilt top, 1
batting) to the right and left of the serged seam and press.
To serge the third section into place, layer the remaining 4” fabrics as
follows: muslin to muslin, right sides together; print to print, right sides
together; batting on top.
Serge through all 6 layers. Open the last 3 layers; press.
Add the last section to the top edge of the 3-paneled quilt. Layer the
5½” fabrics as follows: muslin to muslin, right sides together; print to
print, right sides together; batting on top.
Serge, open the layers to the top of the square, and press.
