QUILTING
A quilt usually consists of three layers, two layers of fabric with a layer of batting sandwiched between. To sew three layers
together, you have a wide variety of stitches and techniques to choose from. When the quilting is nished simply bind the edges
or make it into cushions, wearable art or other smaller projects.
Crazy Quilt Stitching
Embellish your quilt with decorative stitches. The stitches can be sewn
in a coordinating or contrasting color. Decorative threads like rayon
embroidery or heavy cotton threads are sometimes used. Find stitches
perfect for crazy quilting on Stitch Menu 2.
Hand-look Quilting
Simulate the look of handmade quilting with invisible thread and the
Hand-look Quilting stitch (2:2). Thread the needle with clear invisible
thread and the bobbin with a color of thread that coordinates with
your fabric.
To get the accurate hand stitched look it is important that the stitch
is sewn using a high thread tension. Make sure to set the tension
according to the recommendations on the GraphicDisplay (650) (on
the 670/690Q, the thread tension is set automatically).
Stitch along one of the seams of your project. The handlook effect is
created as the bobbin thread is pulled up to the top of the quilt.
Note: When sewing with the hand-look quilting stitch, the result depends on
what fabric, batting and thread you are using. Be sure to try the stitch on a
sample rst. Adjust the thread tension as needed for your project.
Free Motion Quilting
Free-motion quilting not only keeps the top, batting and backing
together, but it also adds texture and interest to your quilt.
There are several techniques to use when free motion quilting.
Decorate your quilt as you like, only your imagination sets the limits.
Two free motion techniques are stippling and circles.
Free motion stippling is typically a tightly and evenly spaced
meandering stitch line. When stippling, draw squiggles with the needle
as you sew. Another technique is to make circular motions on the
fabric as you sew creating a stone shaped pattern.
Free-motion quilting is done with the feed teeth lowered. You move
the fabric manually to determine the stitch length (see page 41).
Tip! Practice free motion sewing on scraps of the fabric and
batting from your quilt. It is important to move your hands at
the same speed as the needle to prevent stitches that are too long
or too short. Maintaining a consistent speed while free-motion
sewing will also help keep stitches even.
