Finally finished hand quilting a double knit quilt. the top was given to me last year and I put it together and use double knit material on the back. Quilted it so the back stitching looked like the front and I stenciled flowers in the corners of the squares and hand quilted the border using a stencil with pounce powder. Double knit was easy to work with for hand stitching. Top of the quilt was hand sewn by a friend of my family and asked me if I would like to have it and finish it. It really came out nicely. Use double knit material on the back.

That is so nice! Never thought to use double knit. It is really soft!

Oooh, good job, it looks so neat and fresh, you did a great job. My MIL made a lot of double knit quilts, they are so soft and warm.

I was afraid that the hoop would make the fabric stretch but that's how I would probably do it. Thanks.

You did a great job. That looks so professional, maybe you are an expert. You did great anyway. I love it.

roseOfsharon 05-13-2010 06:19 PM

Oh that is just too lovely! I can see how knit fabric would be easy to work with too. You sure did a fine job on the quilting and I just love the colors!

happynana 05-13-2010 06:36 PM

Beautiful job! i think I like the back almost more than the front

littlehud 05-13-2010 07:00 PM

Cool quilt. Great job.

amma 05-13-2010 09:50 PM

Very pretty Applique work, and your quilting is beautiful :D:D:D

earthwalker 05-13-2010 09:52 PM

What a beautiful quilt...I always wondered how "double knit" worked out..now I know - Thanks.

frecklestweety 05-14-2010 09:11 AM

It was easy to work with as it gives enough to quilt without stretching.

frecklestweety 05-14-2010 09:15 AM

the quilt was already appliqued from years before, I just had to finish it . I am not good at applique but just quilting around the flowers was easy. Needed the flowers in the corners and I added little plastic flower buttons in the middle of the flowers that I got at Joann's on sale. The think the quilt top is about 50 years old and the squares are all hand sewn to together. Glad it is finished so I can work on another quilt.

laceybritt 05-14-2010 11:19 AM

That's gorgeous!!!! Did you use batting??

Butterflyblue 05-14-2010 11:32 AM

Wow, I think that's the nicest doubleknit quilt I've seen. Great colors.

hokieappmom 05-14-2010 11:38 AM

Both front and back are WOW!

frecklestweety 05-15-2010 03:51 AM

yes, i use polyester batting as it was easy to quilt.

Nickolpenny 05-15-2010 08:24 AM

frecklestweety 05-15-2010 04:12 PM

it was easier to hand quilt than I thought it would be.

Annz 05-15-2010 08:17 PM

Very nice.

RoxanneS 05-15-2010 09:01 PM

Hi, I was given a "bunch" (boxes) of material that is double knit material. Do you have any 'special' rules for sewing a double knit quilt? Some of the material is beautiful.

anglgrl 05-15-2010 09:04 PM

I never saw that pattern it looks really nice very eye appealing.

Pickles 05-15-2010 09:47 PM
