How to sew a quilt panel to enhance its image | Gütermann cotton threads by Jean Boyd February 16, 2023 written by Jean Boyd February 16, 2023 256 Yesterday, I showed you how to stitch all the appliqué shapes for the Spring wall quilt using several of the threads from the Gütermann Nostalgia Box of 50wt Cotton Thread. Today, you can see another project I made, using a printed quilt panel to showcase the threads. For my little quilt, I used this quilt panel that had a simple design and lots of color. I cut the quilt panel in half so I ended up with a piece that will be about 18″ x 24″ when finished. Printed quilt panel To prepare for quilting, I sprayed the fabric with Best Mary Ellen’s Best Press using the Spray and Misting bottle and then pressed it with my Oliso iron. This gets rid of any wrinkles in the fabric and also gives a little extra body to the fabric. Now I get to choose which of the 48 colors in my Gütermann Nostalgia Box that I want to use. Supplies for the quilt panel project These are the threads I decided to use for my project. Gütermann thread colors for my quilt panel project After the backing, batting, and quilt panel were layered and basted, I stitched along the design lines on the quilt panel first, and then added some extra stitching in the open areas. What a treat to have so many different thread colors readily available! I used a neutral-colored thread in the bobbin. Because I was doing only straight stitching, I used the straight stitch throat plate on my machine. This really is a great help in achieving straight and even stitches. Stitching on the quilt panel And here’s my finished quilt! Finished quilt made from a multi–colored printed quilt panel Ideas for quilted projects come easily with such an array of dreamy colors.
