I've been quilting only a year and made 3 quilts. The last 2 had ME redwork. My posting in the picture area brought several questions. I was pretty clueless on how to incorporate the embroidery into the quilting and just winged it. I can see that if i just had a motif, i would embroider it on a plain fabric block and piece it in, but how do you do the embroidery with the batting in a quilt? My DH is Japanese and I have a set of sashiko quilt designs and would like to make a quilt but am unsure how to proceed. Thanks for any tips you can provide

I'd be intersted as well...

There are quite sashiko designs for sale. Google sashiko machine embroidery designs. I actually have a few I got for free. And I know Ann Goodesign has some for sale.

I did one using the fun and done method and it was super cute and easy.

I like to do a small motif all around on a border. Also have done a large motiff that incorporated the bottom corner of the quilt across a number of blocks.

You can also google Quilt in a Hoop and google the Japanese quilt block designs. I have collected several quick block designs for use whenever I finally get started on my quilting!

Another possibility is to stitch out the block(s) you want to use with the designs, then use those block(s) in the quilt. If you do it that way, then use those block(s) as the main focal point of the quilt. I would use some thin batting behind them to give it a slight puffy rich look to it.
If you want to do the designs for other smaller border pieces, again, stitch them out and then use them as the you would use in the border. The main idea here is to stitch out your designs, then cut them down to the size you need, and you will then eliminate any potential hoop burn or distortion of the fabric. I hope I haven't confused you? |
Whoops.....
Chalk this up to being new and not sure what I am doing. :oops: |
