Quilting.

For channel quilting sew several rows of long parallel

lines. These lines can run vertically, horizontally or

diagonally. Stippling is free motion quilting where you

hoop the fabric and guide it by hand, allowing you to

stitch in any direction. For template quilting transfer a

design from a template (plastic stencil) to your fabric

and then stitch following the outline. Motif quilting is

used to emphasize the printed design of a fabric and is

accomplished by outlining the desired motif using the

darning and embroidery foot. All of the above techniques

are used to hold the layers of the quilt together.
