![]() This is an optional step, but it will help to keep layers from shifting during handling and embroidery. Lightly spray baste each layer with temporary adhesive spray. There should be an equal amount of backing and batting around all four sides of the quilt top fabric. Then center the quilt top right side up over the batting. Place the quilt back wrong side up on a flat surface, position the batting on top of the backing fabric. The backing is cut larger than the quilt top to allow for the shrinkage that happens as you quilt, but it will also give extra fabric needed when hooping the layers during the quilting process.Ĭut the batting 45” x 45”. I have alternated the light and darks in my block layout.Ĭut the backing fabric 45” x 45”. There are 8 light squares and 8 medium to dark squares arrange as desired. Stitch the sixteen 10-inch fabric squares together using a 1/4” seam allowance. If attaching #97D, remember to engage the BERNINA Dual Feed Mechanism. Preparing the Quilt TopĪttach the Patchwork Foot #97/97D to the machine. NOTE: BERNINA ARTlink 8 is a free downloadable software program with the capabilities required for this project.

So, I thought I would share the process by giving you some step-by-steps to help you be successful in creating edge-to-edge quilting. My BERNINA embroidery machine has the Endless Embroidery feature to set up the design and stitch reference points that made it easier to line up the continuous designs in the multiple hoopings needed to complete the quilting on this small quilt. There are about fifty edge-to-edge continuous quilting designs in this collection that work perfectly with an embroidery machine. The design I used was from the BERNINA Exclusive Design Collection Quilting by Design by Jessica Schick #80196. ![]() By linking the designs together, this creates the continuous embroidery. I found some great quilting designs from OESD’s large selection of continuous quilting designs to create edge-to-edge quilting on this fun quilt project. Many refer to this process as “quilting in the hoop”. ![]() Yes, you can use your home embroidery machine to quilt large and small projects-it is ABSOLUTELY possible! I just finished this small quilt project completely on my BERNINA 880 PLUS, from the piecing to the quilting.
