Baby is on the way, and you want to make something quick, easy and spectacular... Join multi-talented Baby Lock educator Missy Billingsley as she walks you through fun and invaluable quilting, machine embroidery and serger techniques to make a keepsake baby quilt. Missy invites all sewists to move beyond the day-to-day use of their sewing machines and sergers.
On this quilt design, the appliquéd center block features the word “Baby” machine embroidered ever-so-beautifully inside an eight-sided, scalloped, appliqué design. Embellishment details include fun and easy-to-fashion serger puffing and pintucks, which finish two of the nine blocks when joined with bridging.
Four small, nine-patch blocks also provide a lesson in the ease of serger construction. Lace-to-fabric is traditionally worked by sewing machine, but with the rolled hem serger technique, Missy demonstrates how to achieve this classic heirloom finish in a single step; it’s the primary way to attach purchased, embroidered insertion as well as unadorned fabric strips to the last two blocks.
Instructions for completing the quilt are clear, concise and easy to follow; simply stop and start the video to set your pace when piecing the nine blocks together, adding the border, layering the quilt and accenting binding with piping – the final touch.
An instructional PDF for the quilt is included, as well as two machine embroidery appliqué frame designs in three sizes (6”, 7” and 8”) in all formats for the center quilt block. One frame design contains “Baby” and the other frame is left blank for you to personalize as desired. * Your embroidery machine must have a 6” or larger embroidery field to use the included designs.
