Sew the Quilting

Sew the quilting

• Use a rotary ruler to mark a line that runs at 45 degree angle to the corner of the fabric... or on the bias of the fabric.
• Set your stitch length to a slightly elongated stitch. Allow the stitches to be long enough that the fabric does not pucker.
• Sew one line of stitches on the marked line.
• Use a sewing machine guide to sew lines of stitching an even distance from the previous line of stitching. The spacing between the lines will be dictated by the requirements of the batting and the size of the project you will be using the quilted fabric to make.
• Continue until you have quilted the amount of fabric you will need for a project.
• Criss-cross your quilting stitches by quilting again from the other direction.
