Quilt for Jayce

Raw Edge Appliqué & Free Motion Quilting Design42’’ x 42’’

Quilt for JayceInstructions for Raw Edge Appliqué with Free Motion Quilting Design

1

Materials required: 1. To trace the appliqués templates, you need a lightbox, a glass table top under which you can place a lamp or a window.2. One piece of cotton batting 45’’ x 45’’3. Tree packages of 5 sheets of 9’’ x 12’’ Lite Steam-A-Seam 2. If the Steam-A-Seam product is not available in your country, you could substitute it with Heat & Bond or Mysty Fuse or any other product that does the same thing.4. Chalk pencil FabricsTo make the appliqués I suggest you use your scraps of fabrics and UFOs. To do the background you will need the following: Orange fabric (background): 1 meter/yard Green fabric (background): 1 meter/yard Yellow fabric (sashing): ¾ meter/yard Backing fabric: 1½ meter/yard (45’’ x 45’’).

ThreadsTo do the satin stitching or the tight zigzag, I used the Aurifil because it’s a thin thread, about 50 weight. The stitch look more refine then a regular thread.

To do the Free Motion Quilting, I prefer using the Polyester Embroidery Threads, SuperB - 40 weight that I use for all my FMQ.

I will leave the selection of thread colors to you since you will be using different fabrics then mine.

1 meter = 39’’1 yard = 36’’1 inch = 2.5 cm44 inches = 112 cm

Preparing the appliqués1. Trace the appliqué templates on Lite Steam-A-Seam 2. For the baby’s name in the middle of the top row, you will find the complete alphabet appliqué templates on the last pages of this pattern. 2. Cut out the interior of the Lite Steam-A-Seam 2 template and leave 5/8’’ on the edge.

3. Fuse the appliqués on the wrong side of the fabric selection and press.4. Cut each appliqué individually.5. Assemble the appliqués as shown on the page titled ‘’Fabric Selection & Guide to position the Appliqués’’ of each baby animal.

If it’s your first experience working with this product, look for the tutorial on the how to work with the ‘’Steam-A-Seam 2’’ and some tips on how to place the appliqués on the background fabric perfectly and in just a few minutes. To find the Tutorial on my YouTube Channel, look for : Collection Inédith - Steam-A-Seam 2 - Helpful tips

It is recommended to dry press the Lite Steam-A-Seam 2 on the fabric. That being said, I always use steam to press. BUT, in order to keep my iron clean, I place a very cheap loose leaf paper on top of my appliqué and I never had any problems. The decision to dry or steam press is yours to make.

Preparing the background1. Cut 4 pieces of green fabric 14’’ x 14’’ (for the Baby‘s name, Zebra, Turtoise and Rhino)2. Cut 5 pieces of orange fabric 14’’ x 14’’ ( for the Elephant, Monkey, Hippo, Lion and Giraffe)3. Place each baby animal appliqués on top of the background fabric and center the baby animal. See my design on the cover page to figure out if you want to keep the same arrangement or if you want to switch the baby animals around. 4. When you are satisfied with the look, press each block to fuse the baby animal on the background fabric.5. With a white chalk pencil, trace the lines that will give the animals it‘s baby look. You will use Free Motion Quilting to do some of the lines like the eyebrows for example. With each block pattern, you will find the instructions to trace the lines.

Preparing the block for satin stitching (tight zigzag)1. Cover the back of each block with a stabilizer that you will tear off when the stitching is done.2. For the satin stitch, I used Aurifil threads, 50 weight and the setting of the stitch width at 2.0 and a stitch length at 0.2. 3. Satin stitch the contour of each appliqué with your choice of thread colors.4. When your block is done, tear off the stabilizer in the back.

Assembling the blocks

Quilt for Jayce

Instructions for Raw Edge Appliqué with Free Motion Quilting Design (Cont’d)

1. Cut 6 strips of yellow fabric 2’’ wide x 14‘’ long and sew the blocks together as shown here.

2. Cut 2 strips of yellow fabric 2’’ wide x 42’’ long and sew the strip to the row, as shown here.

Lion Rhino Gira�e

Free Motion Quilting1. Add the batting and the backing to top layer of the quilt.2. I first started the FMQ by doing meanders on each background block so that the quilt will be less puffy when I start working on each baby animals. Do the center block (Hippo) first, followed by the Zebra and the Tortoise. Then do the Rhino and the baby’s name and finish with the four corners.3. Next, to quilt the baby animals, I secured all the satin stitches (zigzag) I had done for each appliqué, by doing a straight stitch on both sides of the zigzag (blue dotted line) to prevent it from unravelling. 4. When that was done, I did the FMQ lines that I had traced with a white chalk pencil. You will find the instructions on the page titled ‘’Fabric selection & guide to position the appliqués’’. 5. Finally, I did some more meanders on the baby animal itself.

To see pictures of each completed block, go to my website and look under the tab ‘’ Free Stuff’’ and click on the tab ‘’Free patterns’’.

SashingTo finish the quilt I did a French border or miter border. 1. Cut 5 strips of yellow fabric, 3’’ wide x 44’’ long 2. Sew them end to end to make a strip 220’’ long or 560 cm

If you don’t know how to make a french or miter border, I’ve made a tutorial a long time ago. It’s in French, but just by watching, you will understand how it’s done. The title of the tutorial is:‘’Collection Inédith - Bordure française pour courtepointe/patchwork’’ or follow the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PdqR5O8koE

NOTE: You don‘t need to do as much Free Motion quilting as I did. I’m a bit insecure and I might have over done it. So, just have fun with it and do what feels right to you.
