As you've probably noticed Kathleen and I have gone Machine Embroidery Applique crazy!
We love it! Every single project we see we are trying to figure out how we can add machine embroidery applique.
This new quilt was so much fun to make, it's made from Zen Chic's new fabric line Barcelona and a little bit of Moda Bella Solids.

Check out all of our other darling Embroidery Applique's while you're over there.
**All applique on this quilt is done using embroidery applique, for this technique you will not cut your triangles into triangles at this point. Follow our triangle Machine Embroidery Applique Tutorial here.**
Quilt Layout
Confetti is layed out like subway tiles, alternating blocks.
After appliqueing your triangles onto 54 of the white blocks randomly lay them out, refer to quilt layout for exact placement. We rotated our triangle blocks to get a more random look.
Quilt, bind and enjoy!
The super cool thing about embroidery applique, because it's done so precisely with a nice satin stitch when washing this applique there will be no frey! The quilt can be washed and washed and it will look nice forever!
This quilt is machine quilted with a pantogrpah pattern designed by Natalia Bonner called Crackle, available here in digital and paper pantograph pattern.
All of our embroidery applique is done on a Bernina Aurora 440QE with the embroidery module.
Batting used is this quilt is Quilters Dream Poly Select.
Fresh & cute! :)

DeleteI have had some issues with doing machine embroidery on a quilt. After the quilt is washed the embroidery draws up because of the shrinkage of the batting. The embroidered part does not lay flat
ReplyDeleteI would use a stabilizer behind it.

The digitizing application is fed several stitch patterns or image files, which it stores, and processes into several files which are then read by embroidery machines to be sewn into perfect embroidered fabric. cheap digitizing embroidery
