Quilting
Patchwork
Patchwork and quilting are traditional hand craft techniques to
make use of left-over fabric. Over the years it has developed into
a creative hobby.
Traditionally patchwork was sewn by hand. Today your creative
ideas can be realized in a much shorter time with your Pfaff
creative 2124.
A quilt consists of three layers, two layers of fabric with a layer of
batting sandwiched between.
Piecing the quilt top
Cut out the pieces of fabric for your quilt top using templates. A
seam allowance of ¼” (6 mm) should already be included in the
templates. Snap on the optional ¼" quilting foot. Sew the pieces
together following the design instructions to piece the quilt top.
The seam allowance of quilts are usually pressed towards the
darker fabric side. Baste the completed quilt top to the batting
and backing. In traditional quilts these three layers of fabric are
then sewn together by hand with small stitches. However, it is
quicker and more practical with your Pfaff creative 2124, e.g. with
stitch no. 11 using monofi lament thread on top and regular or
decorative thread in the bobbin.
When the quilting is fi nished simply bind the edges or make it
into cushions, wearable art or other smaller projects.
