Cutting:
|
Out of the pieces of different fabrics, cut 9 rectangles measuring 7 1/2" x 9 1/2".
|
|
Assembly:
|
| Note: seam allowance is 1/4", press everyseam immediately after you make it. |
On your table, lay out the rectangles in the order you want to see them on the quilt.
Sew the rectangles in 3 rows, 3 rectangles per row.
|
|
Sew the rows together.
|
|
Embroidery:
|
Upload the files from the Fall Tree Set into the machine. Select threads for each tree individually taking into consideration that the background fabric will peak through the threads of the embroidery and will affect the look of the stitch-outs.
Working with one rectangle at a time, stabilize it. Hoop the fabric tightly and embroider the designs one by one.

Now place the backing on a flat surface (table) face down. Cover with batting. Spread your working piece over it.
Pin all layers together.
We quilted in a free-motion style all over the quilt. |

| Press with heavy steam. Square the quilt. Finish the raw edges with the binding. |
