Quilt with an Embroidery Machine in 8 Easy Lessons by Nancy Zieman and Eileen Roche on Sewing With Nancy

The art of quilting often combines techniques. Traditional quilts are frequently appliquéd, then pieced, and finally all the layers are quilted. If you have an embroidery machine, you can streamline the processes with the touch of a button—the brainchild of Nancy’s guest Eileen Roche. The quilting technique is practically hands free! Watch as Eileen shares the magic in quilting on part-one of Quilt with an Embroidery Machine in 8 Easy Lessons on this Sewing With Nancy series.

Easily learn the machine embroidery quilting process. There’s no reason to be intimidated. This easy process is presented from a beginner’s perspective and is broken down into eight easy lessons, including many useful tips and techniques for professional results, which are all included in this machine embroidery starter kit.

Quilt With An Embroidery Machine in 8 Easy Lessons by Eileen Roche as Seen on Sewing With Nancy with Nancy Zieman

The kit includes:

  • Quilt with an Embroidery Machine in 8 Easy Lessons book
  • Quilt with an Embroidery Machine DVD
  • Wonder Under
  • Quilting Needles 80/12 and 90/14
  • Print & Stick Target Paper

A machine that’s commonly used to create embroidery designs, is equally a quilting machine. Let’s start with a simple table topper, which features what at first glance is a complicated appliqué. You’ll soon see that the process is perfect for the novice quilter.

Prepare Quilt Sandwich

Like any method of quilting, we first must prepare a quilt sandwich. The quilt sandwich refers to the top, batting, and backing layers of the project. Eileen will show us how easy it is to prepare your sandwich for in-the-hoop quilting on this episode.

Embroidered Appliqué Designs

In the traditional appliquéd quilt process, you’ll create your project using these steps (in order):

    1. Appliqué
    2. Piece
    3. Quilt
In this Sewing With Nancy featured program, Eileen shares the embroidered appliqué quilt process and explains how the steps are similar to traditional quilting, yet are executed quite differently. It’s easy once you watch Eileen’s methods on Quilt with an Embroidery Machine in 8 Easy Lessons Part One.

Her comment is: The diagonal seaming on Views 1 and 2 on this pattern are so figure flattering! Its a wonderful design and I like the idea of coloring blocking the front panels of the jacket.

  • Ann West

    As I have had an embroidery attachment that came with my machine, I have not yet used it. I think I really need this book to get me “kick started” to try learning machine embroidery. Thanks for the opportunity!

    This promises to be the perfect step to digging in and learning how to embroidery and the 8″ block sounds ideal to me.

    I have wanted to try quilting with my embroidery machine. The combination of embroidery and quilting make this quilt a real beauty!

  • Gail K

    As I am sewing smaller quilt blocks (after learning thru larger blocks) I will choose the 6” size.

  • BevM

    I prefer to use larger size blocks, like 8 inches, so that the project goes faster.

  • Marie Day

  • Charlotte Brown

    I have a Brother sewing and embroidery machine but I haven’t tried the embroidery part yet as it seems to intimidating. I think winning this would help me get started with a 6 inch block.

  • Amelia

    I mostly use 8 inch blocks for some reason. I’m still learning how to use my embroidery part of my machine so any education is helpful!

  • Clovis

    I would start with the 6-inch block and work my way up.

    I would make the 8″ blocks. Just began learning to quilt after sewing for over 55 years! My husband bought me a new sewing/quilting/embroidery machine in September. So I’d love this book to learn more about combining it all!

  • Terrie Grove

    January 1, 2019

    The 6″ size would be perfect for learning this technique. I would love to give it a try and show my 91-year-old mom this new way to quilt. She watched the first show on TV and was concerned that sewing the blocks together would be too bulky with all the layers.

  • Teri

  • Elaine

    i have ordered the BOM 2019 kit. This will be my first big quilt. I watched the video of Nancy and Eileen embroidering the quilt and imagined how a quilt would look with the designs in the DVD. I was not crazy about the flower quilt colors so dismissed the book and offer. Silly me, I am now excited, looking forward to BOM kit and embroidery package. I will probably use the largest size.

  • Susan
    January 10, 2019

    The eight inch block size is what I would choose. Sounds like this book can really help to expand one’s skills.
