Free-motion quilting and darning
The two techniques are based on the same Free Motion principles.
Poor stitch formation
̶ if thread is lying on top of the fabric, slow down the movement of
the material
̶ if there are knots on the wrong side of the fabric, move the
material more quickly
Monofilament breaks
Reduce the motor speed and/or loosen the upper thread tension.
Thread breaks
Guide the fabric more consistently.
Holding the work
⦁
hold the work with both hands like an embroidery frame
Quilting a design
⦁
quilt from the center outwards
⦁
guide the work using smooth, round movements to form the design of your
choice
Stipple quilting
̶ this technique covers the entire surface of the fabric with quilt stitches
̶ the lines of stitching are rounded and never cross one another
Quilt gloves with rubber fingertips will help when guiding the work.
