Quilting
What area of the quilt do I start sewing to begin the quilting process?
I have everything ready to start quilting, but I am unsure if it matters where I start. Should I start in the middle and work my way out, or start with the straight lines across or up and down?
Should I start from the same side every time or alternate sides? I made sure it is pinned tightly and I have a walking foot. Is there anything else I should be doing? This is a lap quilt so it isn’t that big. Any help would be wonderful!! Thanks
Start in the center and work out to one edge, then break off and go back to the center again, to work out to another edge. You can go back with a hand needle and tie off all the thread ends and bury them in the quilt.
You’ll notice that even with a walking foot, the top will travel a little bit, so you want it to travel evenly on all sides. That’s why the batting and backing should be cut bigger than the top, and you don’t bind the edges til the quilting is done.
