Fabrics thrown into the mix !
Thinking of patchwork as a technique to simply use
up fabric scraps for sewing patched bedspreads is so
yesterday! Mixing and matching fabrics is great fun
and offers a wide variety of creative expressions.
Out-of-the-ordinary fabric and color combinations
often make the best mix. Even beginners can
achieve fast and beautiful results – with the right
accessories on hand! For quiltwork, the sewing of
patches is always the first step to fascinating works
of art. Patchwork, however, can easily turn into a
passion.Once started,the majority is hooked on this
fun-filled activity for life!
There’s one thing we all agree on: Patchwork looks best
with the corners of all fabric pieces precisely aligned –
hence accurate cutting and piecing is essential. Using the
SINGER® Quarter Inch Foot, it’s a hassle-free affair. It
provides an accurate 1/4 inch (approx. 6 mm) seam allowance
generally used in patchwork.The markings on the
foot are also ideal for precise top stitching, quilting and
sewing of narrow seams. Accurate straight cutting is the
only thing you need to worry about!
Important:When using the Quarter Inch Foot, the needle
must always be in its left position to align with the foot’s
opening.The round opening only allows straight stitched
seams,however, provides extremely beautiful results!
