Quilting

Abstract

Select a quilting design. If necessary, darkly trace onto paper so that designs show through when fabric is positioned over it. A light source placed under the design can help to make it more visible. A light box or sunny window works well. To create a light box, place a lamp (shade removed) under a glass top table. Tape the paper pattern to the glass top. Place the fabric area to be marked over the pattern and trace with a pencil. Reposition fabric as needed to complete design transfer. Mark fabric with a thin, light line. Markings should not be visible on finished project. • Stencil or Template There are other transfer methods available that allow the quilt to be marked AFTER it is basted.
