Patchwork quilt
Quilting is a traditional hand sewing
technique. The method that the wives of
American settlers developed to make use
of material remnants has become a very
popular artistic hobby for many sewing
enthusiasts.
Patchwork quilts used to be sewn exclu-
sively by hand. Nowadays, however, you
have the possibility to make your creative
ideas a reality in a much shorter time.
A quilt always consists of three layers of
material. Lots of geometrically shaped
pieces of material are joined together in
continually changing patterns to form the
top layer of the quilt. This is tacked onto
the middle layer of polyester or cotton bat-
ting and connected to the back layer of
the quilt. The quilt backing is usually one
uniform piece of fabric.
And this is what you do
Cut out the pieces of your quilt top us-
ing templates you have bought or made
yourself. A seam allowance of 1/4ß (6.3
mm) should already be included in the
templates.
Spread these pieces out in front of you
in accordance with the pattern and form
small squares which you can then put
together. These squares will then be
sewn together and will form the top ply
of the quilt.
The seam allowances of quilts are usu-
ally not serged and are always pressed
towards the darker fabric side.
Baste the completed quilt top to the
batting and backing. In traditional quilts
these three layers of material are then
sewn together by hand with small stitch-
es. However, it is quicker and more
practical with the sewing machine, i.e.
with the straight stitch. Quilting is usu-
ally stitched about 3 mm away from the
seam. Use foot number 0 or the quilt
and patchwork foot (see page 58).
When the quilting is À nished you can
simply bind the edges or make it into
cushions, wearable art or other smaller
projects.
