HOW TO MAKE THE QUILTED BLOCK

Hoop cutaway stabiliser in the hoop depending on which size you are sewing.

Load design onto your machine. Use applique scissors for trimming.

The first step, which is sewing the batting down and trimming it, is optional. It is so no batting is in the seam, making the blocks easier to join. If you prefer the batting in the seam just skip STEP 1 and proceed straight to STEP 2.

STEPS 1 & 2 Repeat the STEPS 1 & 2 on Block 1.

 

STEP 3 Embroider the quilting.

 

 

Remove your work from the hoop.

 

Trim the batting out of the seams if you skipped STEP 1.

 

Trim the seams to about ½ an inch.

 

 

HOW TO MAKE THE BORDER BLOCKS (MAKES TWO IN ONE HOOPING EXCEPT THE 4x4)

Hoop cutaway stabiliser in the hoop depending on which size you are sewing. Note: The 4x4 size only makes one block per hooping. You will need to make 6 blocks which will be 6 hoopings for the 4x4. The other sizes will only require 3 hoopings.

Load design onto your machine. Use applique scissors for trimming.

The first step, which is sewing the batting down and trimming it, is optional. It is so no batting is in the seam, making the blocks easier to join. If you prefer the batting in the seam just skip STEP 1 and proceed straight to STEP 2.

 

Place batting 1 on top of the hoop.

 

 

STEP 1 Stitch the batting down.

 

Remove the hoop from your machine and trim the batting about 1-2mm from the stitching.

 

 

STEP 2 Stitch the placement line for the first background piece starting on the top block.

 

 

STEP 3 Place fabric A on top of the hoop right side up covering the placement line. Stitch down.

 

 

 

Remove the hoop from your machine and trim the fabric about 1-2mm from the stitching. Don’t trim the fabric in the seams.

 

  

 

STEP 4 Using the right stitch line on Fabric A as a placement line, place Fabric B on top of the hoop wrong side up with ¼” crossing over the placement line and the excess pointing towards the left side of the hoop. Stitch down.

 

 

 

STEP 5 Fold over and stitch down. Trim leaving excess fabric in the seams.

 

 

 

STEPS 6 & 7 Repeat the same process with fabric C. Remember not to trim the fabric in the seams.

 

 

STEPS 8 - 13 Repeat STEPS 2 - 7 for the block at the bottom. The bottom block is not included in the 4x4 size (STEP 8 will be the last step for the 4x4 design).

 

 

Tape in between the two border blocks.

 

STEP 14 Embroider the quilting on both border blocks.

 

Remove your work from the hoop.

 

Trim the batting out of the seams if you skipped STEP 1.

Trim the seams to about ½ an inch.

JOIN THE BLOCKS

FRONT

BACK

On your workspace, have your blocks in the layout that you want. 6 blocks and 3 border blocks for the front of the bag and 6 blocks and 3 border blocks for the back of the bag.

 

 

Start by sewing the blocks for the front of the bag together.

 

Join the blocks in rows.

 

Place the first two panels right sides together (we started joining the border row first). Pin and sew a half inch seam, sewing just inside the border lines already on the panels.

 

 

 

Open the seams and iron them flat.

 

 

Then continue joining the other blocks in that row together.

 

 

Repeat the same process for the second & third row of the front of the bag.

 

 

Next join the horizontal rows to each other by placing right sides together.

 

 

Pin and stitch the seam on your sewing machine. Stitch just inside the border already stitched on the blocks so the stitching will not be seen on the right side later.

 

 

Open the seams and iron them flat.

 

 

Repeat for the remaining row.

 

 

Repeat the above steps for the back of the bag.
