<strong>2411</strong> <strong>Textures</strong> & <strong>Techniques</strong><br />
<strong>with</strong> M’Liss <strong>Rae</strong> Hawley<br />
M’liss <strong>Rae</strong> Hawley, designer, author and teacher<br />
joined Sue representing Robison Anton.<br />
M’Liss showed many of her quilts, and taught a fun<br />
Emerald Fields technique for the America Sews<br />
viewers.<br />
1. The textured quilted fabric is built on one large<br />
piece of cream tone on tone base fabric.<br />
2. Place your base fabric on top of heavy weight<br />
tear away stabilizer. Place random width strips of<br />
print fabrics cut between 2” and 4” wide on the<br />
base fabric. Space the strips approximately 1/2”<br />
apart.<br />
3. Spray the stabilizer <strong>with</strong> Sulky KK2000<br />
Temporary Spray Adhesive to hold the strips<br />
in place. Stitch <strong>with</strong> a serpentine or three step zig<br />
zag stitch to hold the strips to the base fabric and<br />
stabilizer.<br />
Sue Hausmann and M’Liss <strong>Rae</strong> Hawley<br />
M’Liss also showed some of the techniques from<br />
her <strong>Husqvarna</strong> <strong>Viking</strong> Embroidery CD <strong>Textures</strong><br />
and <strong>Techniques</strong> #181. These are embroidery<br />
designs and all instructions for the quilted wall<br />
hanging that she is holding are on the collections.<br />
Sewing Supplies:<br />
•Heavy Weight Tear Away Stabilizer<br />
•Cream Tone on Tone Cotton Base Fabric to build<br />
embellished strips on<br />
•Background fabric for Quilt Top[<br />
•Random Width Strips Cut Between 2” & 4” wide x length<br />
of base fabric<br />
•Robison Anton 40 wt. Embroidery Threads<br />

•Assorted Trims, Ribbon, Yarns, Rick Rack etc.<br />

•Fancy Trim Foot #412 82 38-45<br />
•Backing Fabric<br />
•Warm and Natural Batting<br />
•Sewing Thread
4. Thread <strong>with</strong> decorative thread on top and<br />
bobbin thread in the bobbin. Stitch decorative<br />
stitching along the strips. Snap on your Fancy Trim<br />
Foot. Add ribbons, Rick Rack trims etc. along the<br />
strips. Snap on the 7 Hole Cord Foot. Thread <strong>with</strong><br />
cords and select a decorative stitch. Stitch over the<br />
cords. M’Liss uses a large assortment of different<br />
types and colors of Robison Anton threads,<br />
metallic threads, heavier weight threads, Variegated,<br />
Twister Tweeds and more! Embellish the strips.<br />
5. Use a rotary cutter, mat and ruler to cut the<br />
embellished fabric cutting across the strip to create<br />
strips, approximately 2” wide. Leave the stabilizer<br />
on the back.<br />
6. Lay the strips on the vase fabric. Layer <strong>with</strong><br />
backing and batting fabric. Add borders. M’Liss<br />
used a print for the background fabric <strong>with</strong> an off<br />
white background and fl owers. It added a nice<br />
contrast to the embellished strips.<br />
7. Using a serpentine or three step zig zag, stitch<br />
the strips in place onto the background fabric<br />
through all the layers.<br />
8. Add cords, couching, ribbons, etc. to hold them<br />
onto the background fabric. Leave the tails hanging.<br />
9. Bind the quilt as desired. For instructions on<br />
