When you place the fabric on your block, keep
in mind the orientation and how you want to
feature the design.
Take time trimming the batting. Trimming the
batting to the stitch line will pay off later when you
are putting the blocks together into a quilt.
NOTIONS
TIP
The third machine step is a tacking stitch for the base fabric.
Use a thread that matches the fabric.
Place your base fabric, print-side up, over the trimmed batting.
Be sure to leave enough fabric for a 1⁄2” seam allowance.
Place a piece of batting over the top of the squaring stitches,
making sure to cover them completely.
To begin, hoop a piece of No-Show Mesh stabilizer. Run the first
step of the design, which is the squaring stitch for the batting.
Run the next machine step, which is a tacking stitch for the batting. Trim away the excess batting from outside the squaring stitch.
