Patchwork
On-screen manual – see stitch 3/02
Your patchwork piecing seams need to have a
consistent 1/4" seam allowance. Needle position to
edge of standard foot A is 1/4". Depending on your
sewing habits, you may prefer to change the
key to 7.0.
A fun method of decorating your quilt (often called
"Crazy Quilting") is to sew a patchwork stitch over
the open seam.
After seam is sewn, press seam allowance open.
Sew patchwork stitch on right side of fabric,
centering it over the seam line.

Quilt Guide

Quilting is produced by stitching two layers of fabric
together with batting (wadding) in-between to add
dimension and warmth. Traditionally used for
bedspreads, quilting is now used for crafts,
garments and home decorating.
The quilt guide is helpful when sewing parallel rows
of stitching.
Insert the quilt guide into the hole in the presser foot
holder. Slide the quilt guide to set the width at the
distance you desire between the stitching rows.
Use a washable marker to draw the first line for
stitching. Sew over line. When sewing subsequent
rows of stitching, the quilt guide will rest on the
previous row of stitching.
