The computer ensures the following
consistencies:
- Length of Stitches
- Precise Repetition of Patterns
- Exact Size and Fit of Patterns
- Exquisite Quality Throughout Your Quilt
|
Each
finished quilt will be unique with hundreds of patterns to choose from
|
Linda can complete your
quilt using one or more of the following methods:
ALL-OVER DESIGN or PANTOGRAPH
- This is the fastest and most cost effective way to have your
quilt finished. The same pattern is repeated from edge to edge to providing
an over-all design. There are hundreds of patterns currently available
and new patterns being designed by Linda daily. If you have an idea
of what you would like, Linda can help you decide or can even customize
one from the fabric being used in your quilt...the possibilities are
endless!
|
OUTLINE QUILTING
- This method is used to set off the special designs in your
quilt top. The stitching can be done "in the ditch" or around
a figure and then echoed before another stitch is used.
|
STIPPLE or MEANDERING
- Many times meandering is used to fill in a background and to make
a figure stand out. It is good accompaniment to outline quilting, and
comes in many shapes including: loops, sharp geometric angles, and standard.
|
CUSTOM QUILTING
- Most quilts will be enhanced by a design especially created for them.
This can be something as basic as a specific design in similar squares
or as complicated as a special design in each part of the quilt including
borders and sashing.
|
BASTING
- Although you may really enjoy crawling on the floor to pin or
baste your quilt, it is easier if you several large tables...it is even
easier to have your quilt machine basted for hand quilting! The tension
will be distributed evenly and you won't have to worry about pins being
in your way.
