Join DIME and Cathey’s Sewing & Vacuum for Custom Quilting with Your Embroidery Machine. This exclusive, virtual event will elevate your quilting skills and inspire you to embellish and finish your quilt.
Custom quilting enhances specific areas of a quilt such as blocks, sashing and borders using multiple designs, whereas edge to edge or allover quilting repeats the same design. This technique accents embroidered and appliqued elements while filling the surrounding shapes with beautiful, quilted texture. Custom quilting is what stops you in your tracks at quilt shows.
You will learn how to
1. Select quilt designs for your quilt top
2. Create cohesive design elements
3. Highlight embroidery
4. Accentuate applique
5. Emphasize patchwork
6. Embellish crazy quilt blocks
7. Mix modern quilting with traditional blocks
… and much more
