Quifting foot with DT
A quilt consists of two layers of fabric with a layer of batting
sandwiched between. Many pieces of fabric can be joined together
in continually changing patterns to form the top layer of the quilt.
The 1/4 inch quilt foot is particularly suitable for joining your
pieces of fabric. The clearance between the needle and the outer
edge of the foot is 1 /4" (6.3 mm) and between the needle and the
inner edge of the foot 1/8" (3.15
mm).
•
Attach the 1/4 inch quilt foot.
•
Sew pieces of fabric together using stitch 1. For a seam
allowance of 1 /4" guide your fabric along the outer edge of
the foot. For a seam allowance of 1/8" guide your fabric along
the inner edge of the foot.

Qui[ting multiple fabric layers
in traditional quilting, three layers of fabric
are
joined with small
hand stitches. This handstitched look can be accomplished faster
and easier with the sewing machine (stitch 11).
•
Use invisible (monofilament) thread in the needle. Use a
contrast or
matching polyester or cotton thread in the bobbin.
•
Set the needle thread tension to T9.
•
When you sew the stitch on
the three layers of your quilt,
you should only see the triple
stitch of your bobbin thread.
The intermediate stitch
disappears and thus produces a hand-
stitched appearance. Adjust
your needle thread tensions as
needed to produce
the desired effect.
Tip: You might want to purchase an accessory bobbin case for special
techniques. Equipment loosing bobbin thread tension for this quilting.
