One Line at a Time: 24 Geometric Machine-Quilting Designs Made EasyCreate Beautiful Machine Quilting with Almost No Marking. Sew these 24 graceful machine-quilting designs with ease on your home sewing machine, with almost no marking! An elegant alternative to stippling or meandering for all-over quilting, or give your quilt the look of Sashiko without the slow hand sewing. Many designs can build into more intricate patterns by simply adding more lines. Scalable patterns are easy to enlarge or reduce to fit even odd-shaped spaces. Every design includes easy-to-follow instructions and stitched sample; some include full-page pattern. Whether you want to quilt a simple overall pattern or a show-stopping design for a competition, you'll love the elegance of these continuous-line designs. Stitching them is so easy: just sew one line of stitching at a time. Stitch some designs with feed dogs up, others with them down. Designs include cross-hatching, triangles, stars, clamshells, jigsaw puzzles, and many more. |
