Add Quilting to a Machine Embroidered Block

 Someone was asking about how to add quilting to a quilt project that is machine embroidered applique on a Janome 15000 group and I wanted to share what I had done in one of our Kimberbell Clubs at Sew Simple of Lynchburg, home of AmyQuilts.com so I'm posting it here.

This would be ideal for a project that goes together in quilt-as-you-go style, so that the quilting can be added as you embroider each block. While it's not perfect, it requires no digitizing skills and you can do this with the Janome 15000 and Janome Skyline S9.


This takes 2 of the fabulous Janome apps for iPad. Sadly, not available on android. First you can use AcuSketch to take a photo of the embroidered block in the hoop. Make sure to select a canvas size that is equal to the hoop you are using. Doodle a nice meander, loop de loop, stipple, whatever you can manage. Keeping it real alert: I doodled many times to make it nice and smooth. You can use stencils, rulers, etc. to help you draw.


Send the design to your machine over the wifi and then open the AcuSetter app to pull the design from the machine and use the app to position the quilting stitches. Note: use the Tool section to slightly resize as needed.


Sorry, I don't recall why my block is upside down. I love the accuracy that the AcuSetter app gives!


Then stitch your quilting design over the rest of your embroidered block. It should be noted that the block shown was embroidered in two separate hoopings (Snowman and then the quotes) and then assembled with the pinwheel block as instructed. THEN I hooped the entire block for the quilting.

Love these machines!





PS While the AmyQuilts Embroidery Clubhouse is taking a little break, this is the kind of thing I cover in more detail there. The AmyQuilts Sewing Clubhouse is open to owners of these higher end Janomes to master the use of your machine with greater confidence and creativity.

  1. Amy, you've got more clout than any other person I know of with Janome's fmq and ruler quilting interests. I have been looking for and not finding a hopping ruler foot since I started playing with them a good ten years ago. I've played with 4 machine from a 1942 Era black iron singer 202-1 to my janome continental, and purchased 4 feet in addition to the one that came with the co tinental. None hop, and no e make me happy. I know from Facebook groups I'm not the only one that wants that foot firmly down when forming stich and up for me to move. How do we convince a manufacturer that we want this, will pay for it, that we are out here?

  3. One thing I want to touch upon is that weightloss program fast can be performed by the correct diet and exercise. Someone’s size not only affects the look, but also the overall quality of life. Self-esteem, despression symptoms, health risks, along with physical skills are impacted in an increase in weight. It is possible to just make everything right but still gain. In such a circumstance, a medical problem may be the perpetrator. While excessive food and never enough body exercise are usually accountable, common medical conditions and widespread prescriptions may greatly increase size. Thx for your post right here.
