Quilting With an Embroidery Machine in 8 Easy Lessons

The art of quilting often combines techniques. Traditional quilts are frequently appliquéd, then pieced, and finally all the layers are quilted. If you have an embroidery machine, you can streamline the processes with the touch of a button—the brainchild of Nancy Zieman's guest Eileen Roche . The quilting technique is practically hands free! Watch as Eileen shares the magic in quilting on part-one of Quilt with an Embroidery Machine in 8 Easy Lessons on this Sewing With Nancy series.

Easily learn the machine embroidery quilting process. There's no reason to be intimidated. This easy process is presented from a beginner's perspective and is broken down into eight easy lessons, including many useful tips and techniques for professional results.

A machine that's commonly used to create embroidery designs, is equally a quilting machine. Let's start with a simple table topper, which features what at first glance is a complicated appliqué. You'll soon see that the process is perfect for the novice quilter.

Prepare Quilt Sandwich

Like any method of quilting, we first must prepare a quilt sandwich. The quilt sandwich refers to the top, batting, and backing layers of the project. Eileen will show us how easy it is to prepare your sandwich for in-the-hoop quilting on this episode.

Embroidered Appliqué Designs

In the traditional appliquéd quilt process, you'll create your project using these steps (in order):

1. Appliqué
2. Piece
3. Quilt

Size and Variety

On the design CD included in the new Quilt with an Embroidery Machine in 8 Easy Lessons book , you'll have the option to create projects in a variety of sizes including 6″, 7″, or 8″ quilt blocks. Choose a size that best suits your project dimensions.

Piecing Techniques

The next step is to join the quilted blocks. Eileen walks us through this process with ease! Here's a sneak preview. See the complete piecing demonstration on Sewing With Nancy .

The randomly selected winner of a copy of the book, Nancy Zieman, The Rest of the Story   by Richard Zieman, from the January 16 Blog Post, A Modern Quilting Bee on The Best of Sewing With Nancy, is Kathleen Drzik.

Her comment is: I didn't start sewing until 7 years ago but was well-acquainted with who Nancy Zieman was and what she accomplished. My mom met Nancy at an event in Florida a number of years ago and asked her to autograph her sewing A-Z book for me – as a new "sewist." My husband gave me Nancy's Seams Unlikely for Christmas and I truly enjoyed Nancy's story. I would love "The Rest of the Story." –

Happy Quilting!
