Quilt With an Embroidery Machine in 8 Easy Lessons Part One on The Best of 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 Zieman’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.
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):
- Appliqué
- Piece
- Quilt
Size and Variety
On the design CD included in the new Quilt with an Embroidery Machine in 8 Easy Lessons book, you’ll have the option to create projects in a variety of sizes including 6″, 7″, or 8″ quilt blocks. Choose a size that best suits your project dimensions.
Piecing Techniques
The next step is to join the quilted blocks. Eileen walks us through this process with ease! Here’s a sneak preview. See the complete piecing demonstration on Sewing With Nancy.
Give it a try and join us next week for part two of Quilt with an Embroidery Machine in 8 Easy Lessons!

I have a Janome 8000 embroidery machine I bought from my sister a couple years ago. However, I have NEVER tried to embroidery with it as I have no lessons or experience and am afraid I will mess something up. This book sounds like Nancy would help me conger my fear of that machine. I would LOVE to use it for quilting and sewing and embroidery but really need a book to hold in my hands to help me.

I have to have this!! Definitely on my next purchase list. The quilt blocks are gorgeous, and I have so many scraps that would make a great scrappy quilt.
