Decorative sewing and embroidery techniques
Patchwork quilt
Patchwork and quilting are traditional
handicraft techniques which were originally
used by North American pioneer women to
make use of left-over fabric. Over the years it
has developed into a creative hobby.
Traditionally patchwork was sewn by hand.
Today your creative ideas can be realized in
a much shorter time with your select sewing
machine.
A patchwork quilt consists of three layers
of fabric, two layers of fabric with a layer of
batting sandwiched between. Many pieces of
fabric are joined together in patterns to form
the top layer of the quilt. This is tacked to a
middle layer of polyester or cotton batting and
a backing layer.
The quilt and patchwork foot (special
accessory – see page 63) is particularly
helpful for sewing patchwork and quilting. The
distance of the needle to the outer edge of the
foot is 1/4 inch (6 mm) and 1/8 inch (3 mm) to
the inner edge.
And this is how it’s done:
Cut the pieces necessary for your quilt top,
making sure to include a seam allowance of
1/4 inch (6 mm).
Sew the pieces together as required by the
block chosen. These squares will then be
sewn together and will form the top of the
quilt.
Baste the fi nished top of the quilt onto the
batting and the bottom quilt layer.
Use your Pfaff select model to sew all
layers together. Work from the inside of
the quilt out. Use a straight stitch for long
seams. Use stitches such as FG or L stretch
(select 1540) to add a decorative touch.
Experiment with other stitches on a scrap of
fabric. Contact your Pfaff dealer, library, or
bookstore for more information on quilting.
