how to quilt


It is not difficult to quilt, but it is extra work; however, it is so worth it, in the end!

When you quilt you always need:

  • Batting

  • Quilting glue I prefer to use spray adhesive and use this one

  • measuring tape or a walking foot for your sewing machine

Cut the edges

Start by sewing the two first quilting lines – the one you have pressed.

Use a walking foot for your sewing machine, if you have one - or use a measuring tape to sew the rest of the quilting lines.
