148 Quilt Stitches – Applications

monofiliament, cotton or decorative
down (darning position)
Darning foot No. 9 or Quilting foot No. 29
(optional accessory)
Freehand Quilting
for all freehand quilt work
Preparation
pin and baste top layer, batting, and lining
together
attach the slide-on table
Holding the Work
hold the fabric with both hands like an
embroidery frame
start quilting in the center and work out towards
the edges
Quilting a Design
turn the work using smooth, round movements
to form the design of your choice (either free-
hand or following a template)
Stipple Quilting
this technique covers the entire surface of the
fabric
the lines of stitching are rounded without any
sharp corners; they never cross or touch one
another
TIP
Poor stitch formation
if the thread forms loops, the work is being
moved too quickly
if knots are forming on the wrong side, the
work is being moved too slowly
place fabric in a hoop for easier guiding
TIP
Thread breaks
Usually as a result of sudden or jerky movements –
move the fabric smoothly and at an even pace.
TIP
Freehand quilting and darning
Both techniques are based on the same
free-motion principles.
