The presser foot P has distance guideline marks 1/4” (6mm) and 1/8” (3mm) from the needle. 2 Select Straight Stitch A1:2 Place two pieces of cotton quilting fabric right sides 3 together. Align the edge of your presser foot with the edge of the 4 fabric. Stitch a seam with a 1/4” (6mm) seam allowance. 5 NOTE: When using the Quilters 1/4” Piecing foot “P” use only center needle position straight stitch. On another piece of fabric, place your fabric so that the starting edge of the fabric is aligned with the back red line 6 on the foot and the seam edge with the edge of the foot as shown. This will insure you will start stitching exactly 1/4” (6mm) from the edge of the fabric. #11 - Quilting in Sewing Mode 31 Continue stitching and stop when the front red line on the foot is even with the end of the fabric. This insures that 7 you will stop exactly 1/4” (6mm) from the end of the seam. This is helpful in certain types of piecing such as in a Grandmother Flower Garden or any time you need to stop and start 1/4” (6mm) from the ends of the block. 8 Snap on presser foot A. Select E1:1 Stitch a 1/4” seam by aligning the edge of your presser foot 9 A with the edge of the fabric. Stippling Stitches 10 Select E2:21 On a 10” (25cm) square of fabric, use your Pictogram Pen to mark a line lengthwise 2” (5cm) in from the right hand 11 edge of the fabric. Mark starting dots as shown 1” (25mm) and 3/8” (1mm) apart, stair stepping up as shown. 12 Snap on presser foot S. #11 - Quilting in Sewing Mode 32 13 Thread with sewing thread top and bobbin. Align the center red line of the foot with the line marked 14 on the fabric. 15 Stitch several repeats of the stipple stitch and touch STOP. When your DESIGNER RUBY deLuxe™ stops, check to see that the needle is aligned with the marked line. If not, 16 adjust as necessary. Keep the fabric straight, but let your DESIGNER RUBY deLuxe™ do the work. Repeat to the end of your fabric. During the last stitch 17 pattern, touch STOP to end the stippling stitch at the end of the pattern repeat. 18 Align the needle with the next marked starting dot. 19 Stitch the next row. 20 Repeat across the fabric. Handlook Quilting Stitch 21 Select E1:2. 22 Snap on your Quilters 1/4” Piecing foot P. 23 Insert a size 90 INSPIRA® Topstitch Needle. Thread with Sulky invisible thread on top. Be sure the 24 thread is in the vertical position. Insert a bobbin wound with cotton sewing thread or 35 or 25 40 wt. rayon thread. #11 - Quilting in Sewing Mode 33 On a “quilt sandwich” made with cotton fabric and cotton batting, stitch a row. If you are not seeing enough of the 26 bobbin thread come to the top, set the thread portioning to a higher number. Insert your Edge/Quilting Guide 1” (25mm) from the needle. To insert the Edge/Quilting Guide, loosen the screw on the back of the ankle. Don’t remove it, just 27 loosen it enough that the quilting guide can be inserted. Align the curved edge of the Guide along the edge of the fabric. Tighten the screw. 28 Stitch the fi rst row of stitching. Stitch rows of channel quilting 1” apart across your “quilt 29 sandwich”. Handlook Applique 30 Fold under 1/4” (6mm) of the edge of a 2” (5cm) square of appliqué fabric. Place the appliqué fabric onto a 4”(10cm) square of base fabric. 31 Select E1:20. 32 Snap on the presser foot A as recommended. Thread with sewing thread or invisible thread on top and 33 sewing thread in the bobbin. #11 - Quilting in Sewing Mode 34 Align the edge of the folded appliqué fabric with the front 34 opening on the presser foot A as shown. Stitch the edge of the square. Fold under the opposite edge. Thread with decorative 35 thread on top and bobbin thread in the bobbin. 36 Select E2:45. Stitch the other side of the square. #11 - Quilting in Sewing Mode 35 DESIGNER RUBY deLuxe™ Techniques #12 -Quilting in the hoop 1 Touch Embroidery Mode to toggle to embroidery. 2 Thread with sewing thread top and bobbin. 3 Select 150x150 Do-All Quilters Hoop. 4 Touch Start Menu Button. 5 Select the Stitch Menu and then Menu E: Quilt Stitches. 6 Touch and Hold Delete to remove the FIX stitches. 7 Handlook Quilt Stitch E1:23. 8 Increase the Stitch Length to 50.0 Touch and hold Duplicate.

Move the last row of stippling to 0.0 and 58.9. 20 Any hoop size can be fi lled with stippling by simply adjusting the number of repeats of stitches you enter, and by adding additional rows. 21 Touch Save to My Designs. 22 Select My Files. 23 Touch Rename icon. 24 Touch and Hold Delete icon. 25 Enter STIPPLE, touch OK. 26 Touch OK. 27 Thread with cotton sewing/quilting thread top and bobbin. 16 - Quilting in the hoop #12 - Quilting in the hoop 37 Hoop your quilt sandwich (two layers of fabric with batting 28 in between them). 29 Attach your Hoop. 30 Touch GO! 31 Touch Monochrome. Because embroidery tension is designed to pull to the back of the hoop, you may need to adjust your tension/portioning to a higher number. 32 Tip: Test by hooping a quilt “sandwich”. Leave a long bobbin thread tail. Manually bring up the bobbin thread. This will keep the back of your quilt neat. Do this each time you begin stitching. Stitch the fi rst row of stippling. Remove the hoop from 33 your DESIGNER RUBY deLuxe™ and check to see if the tension/portioning is balanced. If not, adjust as needed. Before you begin your next row, snip the bobbin thread, 34 which is easy to do, as the hoop has moved towards you, and bring it up manually as before. Stitch all the rows. Using the concepts you have just learned, try building other quilting designs using the stitches in your DESIGNER RUBY deLuxe™. You need to determine how many stitch repeats will fi t in 35 your hoop. As you are selecting the stitch, and touching Duplicate, watch at the bottom of the screen. Our hoop is 150mm and when we reached Program Length 147mm we knew we were at the limit of the hoop. 16 - Quilting in the hoop #12 - Quilting in the hoop 38 DESIGNER RUBY deLuxe™ Techniques #13 -Designer Smocking- Smocking can be done either in sewing mode or embroidery mode on you DESIGNER RUBY deLuxe™. Smocking in Sewing Mode 1 Touch Start Menu. Your Smocking stitches are in menu D, stitches D:21 to D:25 and stich D2:26. 2 They are designed to be programmed together, or used alone. Try a few combinations on a scrap backed with INSPIRA® Tear-A-Way stabilizer. Because they will be sewn on an uneven, pleated or gathered surface, it is best when 3 smocking in sewing mode to stick with rows of stitches that don’t have to “match”. If you want to do more intricate patterns, that require the “peaks” to match, you are better to do it in embroidery mode. Here are a few combinations we liked: 4 This is one row of D1:21, one row of D1:25 at a 7.0 Stitch Width and one row of D1:21.
