Nina McVeigh (at WeAllSew.com) shows you how with this Strip-pie Table Runner. It is a great project to get you started with free-motion quilting. You will be using blocks and strips to define specific areas to quilt. Then, Nina will take you through four beginning quilting fills.
Here's what you need to get started:
- By Hand Strip-pies by Benartex or other pre-cut 2 ½” strip set
- 1/2 yard backing
- 1/2 yard batting
- BERNINA 570 QE Sewing Machine (I used the BERNINA Q 20 Sit-Down Longarm Machine to quilt the runner, but the quilting may also be done on a domestic machine such as the BERNINA 570 QE machine.)
- Straight Stitch Needle Plate
- 9 mm Patchwork Foot #97 / #97D
- BERNINA Stitch Regulator #42 (The BERNINA Stitch Regulator is built into the Q 20)
- If quilting with the Q 20 you will need a free-motion foot such as the Freehand Embroidery Foot #24 or the Ruler Foot #96
- #80 Jeans Needle
- Cotton Thread
- Rotary Cutting Equipment
That said, I love my Berninas, and would recommend this brand to anyone!
