SECTION 5. LEARN THE STITCHES
9 Quilting
Quilting is stitching two layers of fabric
together with batting in between to add
dimension and warmth.
You can use quilting on entire garments or
parts of garments, such as yokes, pockets,
cuffs and collars. It is also popular for table
fashions. In addition to straight stitch
quilting, you can quilt with decorative
stitches or stitch pattern combinations.
To do quilting successfuily, follow these simple steps;
1. Loosen the quilter screw on the back of the presser foot as shown,
2. Slide the quilting guide {D| into the opening under the screw to the width between lines of
quilting 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 of stitching.
NOTE; When you are quilting large areas, tack the layers together with the basting stitch.
Then quilt from the center out.
Another quiiting 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 p. 35). Position your fabric and
bartack.
