This quilt was made of many solid or tone on
tone fabrics. They were embellished with different
techniques.
1. The 7 hole cord foot was threaded with cords which
were couched or stitched over with a serpentine stitch.
M’Liss likes to leave the cord ends hanigne!
2. The Fancy Trim foot was used to sew sequins and
other types of trims. Pull a piece of the sequin trim
through to the back of the foot before you start to sew.
Thread with matching thread or invisible thread and
select a blanket stitch at a wide width.
3. The Narrow Braiding Foot and the braiding foot are
both excellent for couching cords and trims.
4. M’Liss made twin needle tucks with two different
colors of thread. Be sure to do your pintucks fi rst, then
cut the piece because the pintucks will take up some
of the fabric. White thread can be used because it is a

neutral.
5. Braid with tassels hanging down adorned one piece.
M’Liss made tassels from Robison Anton thread.
6. A grid was stitched with pintucks, and then buttons
were stitched through all the layers so they actually
created the quilting.
Triadic is three colors equally spaced on the color
wheel. It can be primary colors yellow, red and blue or
secondary colors orange, violet and green. This quilt
called “Jesters Dance” is an example of a triadic quilt.
Analogous colors are neighbors, side by side on the
color wheel: in this block, yellow, yellow green and
green. It is a 32” block but it has been split into three
parts, 8” x 32”, 16” x 32” and 8” x 32” to create a
