The little folded paper with the numbers written on them that would tell you who you “liked” or make you do something silly? When I designed the star block for this quilt they were the first thing I thought of! I’ve spaced the stars out in this design, as I always like to leave a little room for the quilting to shine. You can use this template to stitch quilts, clothing, handbags, or other sewing projects. The meander quilting motif is a staple in free-motion quilting, and the Dabline Meander Template is here to help.
Practice the meander until you are confident you can sew gorgeous meander pathways on your quilt project. Follow the instructions we went over, but turn your sewing machine on and take it slow. Once you are comfortable with the movements of the template, grip, and fabric under the needle, you are ready to practice stitching the meandering path. Practice the movements with the sewing machine off until you are confident in following the curves of the Meander Template. Reference the card that came with the template for this step. Move the template, so the foot is back at the start position. This will help you get used to moving the fabric and template in unison under the needle.Ĭontinue moving the template, working the FMQ ruler foot through the curves of the template until reaching the stop position (on the right side.) Imagine that the needle is down. Line up the FMQ ruler foot with the starting position of the template (on the left side.) Now, without turning your sewing machine on, start moving the template under the needle, keeping the foot against the side of the template to ensure you have smooth curves.
Then place the Dabline Template Grip and Meander Template onto the quilt sandwich. Take a practice quilt sandwich, at least 10”x12”, and bring it to your sewing machine. This extra practice will help your hands and brain learn the movements necessary for smooth stitching, especially around the curves of this template. We recommend practicing the motions before you even turn on your sewing machine. Now that your machine is set up and ready for quilting with templates, you can begin practicing with the Meander Template.
