10.4 Guiding the Quilt Work Freely
Quilting gloves with rubber nubs make it easier to guide the fabric.
It is recommended to use the extension table (optional accessory) and the Free Hand System. With free
motion quilting, it is of advantage to quilt from the center outwards and to guide the fabric using smooth,
round movements to form the design of your choice. Free motion quilting and darning are based on the
same free motion principles.
With stipple quilting, entire surfaces of the fabric are filled with quilt stitches. The single lines of stitching are
rounded and never cross one another.
Prerequisite:
