37 Quilting techniques that are meant to align Tile Scenes We have been creating designs like these for years - dividing a large piece of artwork into many different quilt blocks, embroidering them, and then stitching them back together. When sewing these types of blocks together you are often times presented with the challenge of getting every point to align as there are typically more than one point that needs to line up in these designs. In this tutorial we will show you how to do a tile scene as it is the more difficult type of quilt block to sew together. If you can master this technique then you can combine any type of quilt! Free Motion We find traditional free motion quilting very difficult to do. So we decided to make it easier! The free motion stitches are built into the design and stitch quickly and easily. When you complete a quilt using our free motion it will look like it is entirely traditionally free motion quilted. Some of the designs even start and stop in the same spot on a horizontal line. This way you can connect either the same motif or different motifs together. When it comes to the blocks that start and stop at the same point, you will start stitching where the running stitches match up and go from there. We have highlighted this example with a yellow circle in the picture to the left. Landscape Quilting Landscape quilting is created using background fabrics that start and stop at the same point on each side of the quilt block so that when stitched together they form a scene. The background pieces are stitched together with either a satin stitch or light zig zag stitch. This is the only point on the design that is intended to line up with the blocks next to it. So when you go to combine the blocks, you will want to start at where the landscapes meet, highlighted in this picture to the right by a yellow circle.
