Kothy Hafersat joined Sue and Marilyn with quilting tips. She works on a Studio size home quilting frame, the Next Generation Quilt Frame. With the Mega Quilter, she is able to follow pantographs, or simply quilt free motion. She teaches at Husqvarna Viking stores and Quilt Guilds across the United States and has found a perfect project for beginners. To frame quilt a vest, she rolls enough yardage of quilt fabric with un-washed fl annel on the frame. She then lets the students quilt. They practice following a pantograph. After they have quilted the fabric, they then make it into a “shabby” vest! Kothy embroidered Mega Richelieu embroidery on the back of Sue’s vest She edited out the butterfl ies and embroidered them on the front. Kothy stitched reversible embroidery from Blooming Flowers on one by matching the bobbin and top thread at each color change. Kothy mentioned that she really likes the instructions and diagram for loading the Next Generation Frame that are on the Husqvarna Viking website, www.husqvarnaviking.com, under Education, Tips and Hints. Even though she loads it almost every day, she still keeps them on hand! Kothy showed to hold the laser light like a pen when stitching the feathers. She is on the handwheel side of the machine to use the Pantogram and the other side of the machine when stitching free motion without a pattern or with a pattern stenciled onto the fabric. Kothy likes to use Robison Anton variegated thread for quilting. Any vest pattern that doesn’t have a dart will work well for this project. Trace your vest pattern on to the fabric on the frame. Kothy showed how to trace it onto Golden Threads quilting paper. Then , stitch through the paper on the line without thread to perforate the paper. Then pounce the shape onto the fabric to be quilted. The Pounce powder will go through the holes in the paper creating the outline of the vest. Cut out vest and then sew together using a 1/2” seam allowances on the sides and shoulders. Topstitch with 5/8” seam guide around the front. Clip on an angle with rag snipping scissors into the seam allowance on seams and edges. Clip 1/8 to 1/4” apart. Wash vest to achieve a nice “ragged” edge. After the vest has been fi nished and washed, then embroiders it. She uses water soluble stabilizer so that it will be reversible, and winds matching bobbins. She has then washed her vest over and over and it looks like new! Thanks to our Underwriter: www.fulllinestencil.com 2
2609 Quick Project Pintuck and Felted Scarf with Lynn Lunoe A simple Sari Print sheer fabric can become a sensational accessory, using metallic thread, a twin needle and the Huskylock serger. Machine Set-Up: 1. Wind a bobbin with Robison Anton Super Poly sewing thread to match the fabric and insert bobbin in bobbin case. 2. Remove regular sewing machine needle and insert the twin needle. 3. If your sewing machine has a twin needle safety setting, activate it in the Set Menu. 4. The Husqvarna Viking Designer SE and Designer SE Limited Edition have a twin needle setting selection box in the Set Menu. Select the size twin needle you are using and the Designer SE automatically changes the width of the stitch to a safe setting for that size twin needle. NOTE: If you do not have a twin needle safety, be sure your stitch plate opening is wide enough to accept the twin needle for the stitch you have selected. Narrow the width as needed. 5. Thread with two spools of Robison Anton Metallic thread on top and thread the twin needle. Consult your Users Guide for additional instructions. 6. Snap on the 5 Groove Pin Tuck Foot. 7. Slide the Quilt Guide into the hole on the back of the sewing machine ankle, behind the needle, so that the arm of quilt guide is 1” from the center of the two needles. Measure and Cut: 1. Use the entire width of the fabric, selvage edge to selvage edge for the scarf length. 2. Pull a thread across the width of the fabric, about 1” from the top cut edge, to mark the fi rst cutting line. 3. Cut along that pulled thread. 4. Measure down 15” and pull another thread. Cut along that pulled thread. 5. Along the top and bottom selvage edge, mark 1-1/2” in from one cut edge to mark your fi rst row of stitching.
