Проводя мастер-классы, все чаще и чаще стала сталкиваться с тем, что уроки стежки для многих лоскутниц все еще актуальны. В 2007 году в Москву приезжала Габи Мэтт. Она проводила обучение свободной стежке! На мой взгляд ее уроки актуальны по сей день. Габи Мэтт разрешила использовать ее уроки для российских лоскутниц в некоммерческих целях............ Учитесь у маэстро! Габи Мэтт автор книг по стежке и арт-квилту! Эти книги пользуются большой популярностью в Европе. 1-й блок занятий!. Внимание! Габи Мэтт рекомендует шить на большой скорости! Упражнение № 1 и 2. Машина настроена на свободную стежку. Учимся шить прямые, параллельные линии вверх и вниз от центра, соблюдая заданный ритм. Упражнение № 3. Очень ценное задание. Учимся делать параллельные линии с заданным направлением. Шьем плавные кривые и заостренные линии. Чтобы получался угол не надо спешить, следует пошить на одном месте, просчитав хотя бы до "2". Это советы Габи Мэтт. Упражнение № 4, 5, 6. Эти упражнения рассчитаны на освоение владения шитья параллельных и кривых линий. при помощи них надо было создать тоновой контраст. Очень интересные упражнения. Упражнение № 7. Итоговое задание. Создание абстрактной композиции. Упражнение на закрепление полученных навыков и знаний! Обратите внимание, как часто закрепляются полученные навыки, и как часто идет повторение! Уникальная система образования!!!!! Разбор полученных композиций! 2-ой блок занятий был посвящен разнообразию линий на примере растительных элементов. За основу были взяты листья. Упражнение № 1. Упражнение № 2. Упражнение № 3. Упражнение № 4. Упражнение № 5. Итоговое задание- черное на белом и белое на черном! Очень ценное задание. Подобные упражнения входят в обязательный курс по композиции в художественных училищах. А здесь, так ненавязчиво... и так ценно! Методика преподавания Габи Мэтт уникальна. Она о сложных вещах говорит просто и доступно! Ее МК уникальны! Спасибо ей Большое!!!!! Стежка, как вид искусства! Картинки с инета! Начала смотреть образцы стежки, а закончилось все тем, что нашла картинки, от которых невозможно было оторваться. Это что-то неимоверное. Люди рисуют при помощи иглы. Очень все нравится.............. а теперь графика на швейной машине....... Смотрела и восхищалась........... Еще один уровень стежки:

Jon and I are really excited about how the jungle quilt turned out! We love the faces and there are more great patterns in the book we used (Quilts, Bibs, Blankies...Oh My!) Thank you so much for all of your input on my last post. After much back and forth, we agreed with most of you about the orange binding, but Jon wanted to go with a green thread after we decided to quilt with a leaf pattern (This blog has been inspiring me to quilt different designs). If I had to pick again, I think I would've gone with a blue or orange thread. The green worked well with the motif, but does clash a little bit with the lighter blue and the pink. The backing is Alexander Henry's 2D Zoo which is such a great print! The final size is 36"x36" which is the same size as the quilt I made for Little B. It's a little on the small side, but with how much use Little B's parents have been getting from theirs, I think it works! Jon and I are going to meet Zoe this week when we head down to Philly for Thanksgiving and I can't wait! Her parents don't know we've been working on this and I'm not sure they are even aware that I sew as much as I do. As I mentioned, we decided to go with a meandering leaf design for the quilting. I also quilted around the outer edges of the animals in the same colors I did the satin stitch applique. After a bunch of doodling, I figured out a fairly straight forward way to do the leaves. I'm still really new to free motion quilting but I didn't find the leaves much harder than a stippling. Since it's hard to see on the quilt, here's what the practice swatch looked like: Since it took me a little while of doodling to figure out how to make this shape, I figured I'd share how I did it. As a side note, I did want to mention that I heard concerns about using invisible thread for a baby quilt. Since the nylon thread doesn't break like natural fibers, it could get caught around a small finger. I tried getting more information about this but I couldn't find a good source, but it is something to keep in mind when picking threads.

V předvánočním čase dělám do poslední chvíle drobné dárky pro kolegyně a své blízké. Autorkami vzorků na taštičkách jsou Christina Cameli a Leah Day. Jako vždy jsem quiltovala a šila na šlapacích strojích Mundlos a Lada. Quiltovala jsem převážně melírovanými nitěmi, ale i jednobarevnými. Pro quiltované mini tašky jsem se rozhodla poté, co jsem dostala první vánoční dárek a to látací patku, která sedla na můj Mundlos. Tak jsem si ji minulý víkend opravdu užila. Základ na taštičky má velikost 22 x 28 cm. Tady zmiňovaná patka Dokonečila jsem i baňkový běhoun pro maminku, ale nenafotila, tak alespoň dvě fotky z dokončování. A protože se mi doma stýskalo po quiltování a při úklidu jsem objevila quiltovací patku na Lučnik, tak jsem ji dala na svoji průmyslovou Minervu, sdélku stehu dala na 0 a zoubky podavače jsem zakryla quiltovací podložkou a trošku jsem si quiltla. Mína je průmyslový stroj s třífázovým motorem a umí šít rychlostí až 5 000 stehů za minutu. Na quiltování je opravdu potřeba hodně opatrně sešlapovat pedál stroje. A protože vánoční svátky už klepou na dveře, tak se i u nás trošku uklízelo. V mezičase jsem ještě zase quiltovala, aspoň malinko, aby moje nová patka nezahálela a já si ji dostatečně užila. Přeji všem krásné prožití vánočních svátků, klid, pohodu a lásku. Pady jamala

During my lectures and workshops, I've had several people ask me how I accomplished curved crosshatching. You can't imagine how very simple it really is. Get ya an arched template and curve away. Right? Right! So, to show you how easy peasy it is, I'm posting pictures of Linda's gorgeous Borders quilt where I did a curved crosshatch in the cream border, and showing you step-by-step how I did this. Linda LaBrot's beautiful Borders Quilt. Pattern is from Winnie Fleming's Borders Class I first wanted to create arches throughout the cream border. Using my favorite purple disappearing ink marker, I used an arch template to mark the double lines to create even arches through the border. I sewed these lines creating the arches. You could easily make this step straight lines as well. I like using double lines because it defines the arches. Now it was time to mark the curved crosshatched lines. Using that fabulous disappearing marker again and the same arch template, I marked the lines following the curve across the arch. Then turned the arch template over and marked the other way. Since the arched template I was using does not have any marked lines, I used a piece of painters tape on the template to mark the width of the crosshatches. Time to sew...Using the same arch template, I quilted the lines. I retraced the original arches and the stitch in the ditch at the bottom so I would not have so many starts and stops within such a small space. And so I put the curve into crosshatching. It really is Easy Peasy! And for your enjoyment, the rest of Linda's stunning Border Quilt. I had a hard time letting this one go back to her. I wanted to keep it.

At our recent classes at the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, KY, one of the key items I discussed was how to get dimension into quilting designs. It's tough to go to all that work to find designs turn out flat and lifeless. The design above was quilted on cotton sateen over wool batt, and had a soft fine cotton as the backing. I used #100 silk thread and a stitch length of about 1.6 mm. I did get dimension in the areas where the batt was left to fill the design. I realize it is NOT the same as stuffing the designs with extra batting ("trapunto") but I am quite content with this look. It's easy to handle in a home sewing machine and just enough oomph to set off the designs. I also quilt closely around them to flatten surrounding areas and make the design more of the focal point. Thread color can also emphasize quilting designs. However, some students consistently had problems getting any loft at all into designs. After teaching for a long time and observing and drawing conclusions, I realized it is due to a variety of factors: Batt, of course. You need a batt with some loft in it to get designs to show well. I currently am using wool batts, various brands and experimenting. Some of the cottons work great as well, but remember, washing a quilt with cotton batting can cause shrinkage and puckering, making designs hard to see. Wool tends to keep most of its dimension after gentle washing/wetting and air drying. Stitch length. In designs like Bouncing Bananas, below, or Headbands and Froth, if the stitch length is too big for the design size the puff will ooze out between the stitches, leaving you with a very flat design that is nothing but many stitches. Here you can still see the individual stitches as well as the puff. Stitches are not piled up, or so close it is a jumble of thread. They are small enough to create a smooth shape PLUS create dimension and puff. Correct stitch length is vital in creating puff. Fabric choice. The final crucial factor is the fabric you quilt on, even the fabric on the back of the quilt. Sometimes when there was NO loft in designs at all, I would turn over the student sample only to see amazing loft on the BACK of the quilt. The fabric used for backing had the proper hand and weave, thread count and finish, to allow the puff to appear. The fabric on the TOP of the quilt did not. Many fabrics that we love don't work to showcase machine quilting. Tight weaves, extra finishes, very dense fabrics, all can prevent the puff from happening. Even with a batt 1" thick, there would be little dimension if the fabric will not allow it to happen. Sadly many batiks fit into this category, and that's why I suggest on my supply lists to save them for work at home, not in class. Thread doesn't sink into them well at all. They tend to be very flat when quilted, and many times affect thread tension adversely. These fabrics can certainly be used, but if you plan on having areas in quilts to showcase quilting designs, do an audition on various fabrics before the top is even put together. Quilt up some prototypes, use the same fabrics, batt, thread, needle that you will use in the quilt. Try various threads and colors, adjust tension, see what works beforehand. Plus, check for puff. You want to see if the fabric will allow the designs to have dimension. Sometimes spray adhesives used for basting quilt sandwiches can adversely affect puff as well. Recently I had lunch with Ann Fahl and we were discussing the effect fabric has on quilting, how it prevents dimension, how some threads don't work well in certain fabrics. She showed me her new book "Mastering Metallics" and she found that even with everything else done correctly, metallics don't work well or create problems in some cases because of the fabric. Below, her new booklet, and my sample. I tried some #40 Superior gold metallic with a Schmetz #80/12 Topstitch needle, #100 silk thread in the bobbin, on a mystery fabric that actually was so labelled. It said it was a blend of silk, and unknown fibers. It's a devil to quilt on, trust me, slips and slides and skews all over the place. You can't see markings, and you can't see where you've already quilted. I auditioned it several times for projects, and dismissed it as too difficult for the result. However, I did get some nice dimension, and using Ann's guidelines in her booklet on how to place the thread on my machine, what needle to use, tension adjustments, and speed of machine, I successfully quilted a frond design with NO problems at all. Even when several areas converged, everything went well. There was no fraying thread, no skipped stitches. I quilted slower than usual and that helped. Oh how I wish way back when I had had this book to help me when I first tried metallic thread! If you want to use all the types of metallic and need some help, this booklet is perfect. You can order it from Ann at her website, www.annfahl.com So.....stop and consider everything before plunging into a project. Selecting fabric to showcase your beautiful machine quilting to its very best advantage is worth the bit of extra time it takes. After a while you will have experience in what works, what lines of fabric you love to quilt on, what backings work the best. It's an adventure! Meanwhile, keep quilting!
