Quilting with love..

As Salam all..
 Clock showing it's 1 am but I want to write before I sleep..yup, before umar bgn..huhu
Just wanted to share how I sew quilts in my own..hehe.. 
I actually skip many quilting rules but I did not mind as long as its perfect and beautiful ..hihi
This is a selection of my client who wanted embroidery baby's name on a quilt. Amsyar namanya. Cute isnt it?

so, before I paste embroidery baby's name, I set my sewing machine with zigzag stitch width and length as in the picture. 

Quilters often will use a free motion foot for zigzag stitches so that they are easily move the fabric in alphabetical order, but I use clear view foot. I'm stubborn, right? hihi 
So, tadaaa da siap and im ready to put my batting and backing on like this. I use thick batting so it will fluffy and soft. so, bestnye baby baring or you can use it to cover the baby also.. 


I use pins to attach the fabric with batting and then I bast the quilt so I can remove the pin and ready for free motion quilting. Free motion quilting will enable me to sew in the image that is in the top quilt. Sorry I forgot to take a picture of how I sew free motion.sorry sgt2, terlampau khusyuk menjahit, tau2 da siap buat..huhuhu

There are two type of quilt binding. A hand sew binding or machine binding. i mix it both..hehehe.. **ini sume poyoo** ..
I cut the fabric width of 2.5 inches and make sure it is enough to frame the quilt. I fold the stripe and jangan lupa iron kan stripe tu supaya ia kemass and just sew on quilt. like this .. tadaaa ..eh mana picturenyer? owh..bawah..hehe
jgn lupa buang excess batting tu sebelum binding.
so, the last process was sewing my binding with hand stitching. Hemmed the stripe back on the quilt and start to sew..row row row ur boat lalalala (stress sket jahit tgn ni..lmbt tp kemas :) ) .. hoooyyeeaaahh..

done!!(sorry gamba kurang terang)
