Quilting "In-the-Ditch"

Hand-Look Quilting Stitch
®
(BERNINA electronic &
Attach the walking foot to the sewing machine.
Insert a bobbin of colorful 30 weight cotton thread into the
machine; thread the needle with clear monofilament thread.
Select hand-look quilting stitch. Stitch along outer edge of the
patchwork seams, about
tension as necessary; bobbin threads should pull to surface to
form "stitches"; monofilament creates "spaces" between stitches.
Stippling
Thread the needle with cotton quilting thread. Select straight stitch
and lower the feed dog.

Attach Freemotion Quilting Foot
#29/29C to the machine.
Using needle and thread as a "pencil", doodle in the two "solid"
patches, moving the fabric "paper" under the needle. It takes a
bit of practice to get the hang of this; be patient and you'll soon
learn to coordinate hand movements and motor speed. Lines of
stippling should not cross over each other, the stitches should be
about 2.5mm long, and all lines should be curves.
This is one sewing technique that can be practiced with a pencil
and paper. Practice your stippling technique by holding a pencil
straight up and down and doodling in the "spaghetti" patterns of
stippling stitches. Freemotion embroidery and quilting can be
practiced in the same way.
