How to put batting onto quilt top???

Question

I was given a quilt top,it is made of all synthetic materials.It is done but has neither batting or backing on it.How will I put these on with a sewing machine.I have an older standard Singer sewing machine.Can someone please help?

Answer 1

Lay out your quilt backing,making sure that It's the same size as your quilt top,or a little larger.

I get In the floor to do this. You can tape the backing down and then add your batting,smooth it out, try not to stretch It.

Then put your quilt top on last. I use quilt basting pins to hold my quilt together. Make sure you place then every 3 inches apart and then you can roll your quilt from both sides to the middle.

I use Jaws quilt clamps,this holds your quilt and Is easier to manipulate as you're machine quilting.Start In the middle and work your way out. Then you can grid quilt or be really brave and use a stencil and mark your quilting design and start sewing..Good luck...Here's a link that may help you..
