Ever wonder where to start after you have the quilt top done? Try machine quilting in a Serpentine stitch. This s-curve stitch is on most sewing machines and is easy to machine quilt.

Thank you so much ! Does a new needle help .

@makeanddecorate 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! Yes, I absolutely think a new needle at the beginning of a quilting project helps a lot. When I notice the thread breaking or pulling out of the needle, a new needle usually does the trick.

Remember to use your 5mm stitch plate. 😁

Thanks for the tip! I do not have the 5mm stitch plate. I have the 9mm and I increase the stitch width a lot - which might exceed a 5mm plate. I have heard that it is good to have both stitch plates, especially if the stitch width is under 5mm wide...less fabric pulled into the stitch plate.

how do you steer the serpentine stitch? Mine keeps going all over the place and there is no way that I can keep it centered I'm putting it on a border

@makeanddecorate 4 жыл бұрын

I use the adjustable seam guides on my walking foot. So on a border, I would line up the guide on the seam line where the border and quilt meet. Then each serpentine stitch I do from that point becomes the new spot where I line up the seam guide to follow. for example, if you want the serpentine stitch to repeat every inch - line up the guide one inch from the needle to the end of the guide. If you do not have the adjustable seam guides, you can draw guide lines in chalk to keep the stitch lined up.

What number is this stitch so I can find it on my berina 830 8 series

@makeanddecorate Жыл бұрын

I used stitch number 4. Bernina calls it the “running stitch”. Then I adjust the stitch width and length to be wider and longer, around 4.5mm. Happy quilting!😊
