It’s time to quilt the Log Cabin blocks.
If you recall, in a previous post I spoke about all the different presser feet that can be used for free motion quilting. I did my free motion quilting and my ruler work quilting with the same foot: the Janome QR Ruler Work foot. This foot worked really well as did all the others I have used so far, it’s just a matter of preference and may change with each project you do. There’s a Ruler Work foot for almost all Janome sewing machines, so check with your dealer for details.
As always, I also used my trusted Janome AcuFeed Flex Dual/Twin holder with Open Toe Foot for quilting.
I chose to quilt the log cabin blocks in a spiral pattern using a Serpentine stitch.
On my Janome Memory Craft 6700P it is Stitch 8 in Mode 1. On the Janome Memory Craft 9450QCP it is Stitch 20 of the Quilting Stitches.
Make sure to watch the video below for more information on the stitch I used and of course download the PDF.
Don’t forget to post your progress on social media.
