Whether you delete or not, the last color is still different from the echo quilting so at this time our design is complete. I want to be able to sew it first on the stabilizer so I can precisely position my block and I want to baste again to secure the block to the stabilizer. Furthermore, I want the basting stitch to be a specific size. Rather than have the machine baste, which is not an option on some machines and inconvenient on others, I prefer to add basting in software. Suitable stabilizers include no-show mesh, wash-away fiber or wash-away tear-away. Instead, I chose to baste the block to the stabilizer. However, the precut blocks were not large enough to hoop in the normal manner. I precut all my quilt blocks for this project, cutting my blocks a little larger than necessary to allow squaring up before piecing. While this is certainly an easy thing to do at the machine by skipping a color change, you do have to remember to do it! I prefer to do as much preliminary preparation at the computer to streamline the sewing part. The echo quilting designs require a 150mm x 150mm sewing field while the appliqués and the corresponding continuous quilt blocks all fit a 100mm x 100mm sewing field.įor the appliqué block in the quilt, I also skipped the hubs on the duck’s wheels. 🙂įor design flexibility, the echo quilting and the appliqués are separate designs in the Baby’s First Quilt collection.

For the Fuzzy Wuzzy Ducky Quilt appliqué blocks, the duck is appliquéd to the precut quilt block and then before unhooping, the batting and backing are attached to the bottom of the hoop and the echo quilting is added. Embrilliance Essentials is the perfect tool for customizing designs.
