Notes on the Hand quilt-look Machine Stitch


The hand quilt stitch by machine is another technique I don't use enough to remember.
I have a Janome Horizon 7700. the red one.
1.  Stitch selection: 94
2.  Bobbin:  red dot if using fine thread (Isacord Polyester, 40 wt) and blue dot if using regular thread (didn't work that well for me)
3.  Needle thread: Wonderfil Invifil, 100 wt
4.  Stitch length:  lengthen to get the desired look (3.5-4)
5.  Sewing speed, low or middle.
6.  Needle:  14 if using regular thread so the bobbin thread can be easily pulled to the top through the hole.  
7.  Needle Tension:  increase if bobbin thread not coming upSew swatch!

My invisible thread breaks often.
