Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In particular, the present invention generally relates to
(evork) Concerning the creation of a quilting force/S- that is called 1d.

Currently, the craft of quilting requires considerable skill and time.

Complex patchwork often involves the use of different leftover fabric fragments of various colors and textures cut into the outline of one simple basic pattern of a chosen color. These pieces of fabric can be assembled in various ways to obtain a complex overall pattern. In some cases, several basic patterns can be used.

The most important aspects of this craft, which must be taken with extreme care, are the uniformity of the seam width and the absence of stretching or wrinkling of the fabric along the seam line. These aspects are very difficult to master when the pattern has curved edges. Traditionally, the edge of the sewing machine's shoe is aligned with the edge of the fabric as a guide for uniform stitching, and the tension of the sewing machine on the fabric is carefully adjusted to avoid wrinkles. This is the method. The most tedious aspect is that the present application requires the use of a paper pattern to outline the pattern on the back of each fabric piece.

Accordingly, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide an improved method of making patchwork for quilting force bars.

According to one general aspect of the invention, each simple pattern outline is obtained from a sheet of backing material having a plurality of outlines of one or more predetermined patterns, with adhesive applied to one side. separating the backing pieces with the lining pieces, gluing the backing pieces to the selected quilting material, and cutting both the backing pieces and the glued quilting pieces to the outline of the pattern to separate the desired adjacent quilting pieces. Place the facing edges of the quilted pieces so that they overlap, hold the overlapped edges with pins or bast along a predetermined seam line, sew the quilted pieces together along the seam line, and join the adjacent pieces together. A method of making a quilt is provided which consists of flattening the quilted piece so that it is coplanar and then joining another quilting piece thereto to obtain a finished quilted patchwork.

More particularly, the invention includes (1) adhering a plurality of backing pieces, each having a predetermined pattern outline, to a plurality of fabric pieces; (2)
(3) Cutting the lining pieces adhered to each fabric piece along the outline of a predetermined pattern on the lining piece to create respective quilting pieces; (3) Cutting the two quilting pieces in a desired manner adjacent to each other; (4) temporarily holding the two quilting pieces along a predetermined seam line; and (5) stacking the two quilting pieces along the seam line. The process of suturing
A method of creating a quilt consisting of the following is provided. Additional quilting pieces are joined in the same manner to the two fabric pieces obtained above.

When two quilting pieces have curved edge portions at desired adjacent edge portions, the two quilting pieces are stacked so that the curved portions face each other. The quilting pieces are stacked so that the fabric pieces are facing each other, and one of the quilting pieces temporarily holds the two quilting pieces and then folds back. The sutured pieces are flattened so that they are coplanar, for example by ironing.

As mentioned above, the backing piece is adhered to the fabric piece by means of a heat-activated adhesive. Heat is applied to the lining material, for example by a hot iron.

The quilting pieces may be held temporarily, for example, by holding them in a jar or by basting them.

The basic embodiments of the method of the present invention are listed below.

1 (1) bonding a plurality of lining pieces each having a predetermined pattern outline to a plurality of fabric pieces; (2) bonding each fabric piece and the bonded lining piece;
[Step of cutting the lined lining pieces in a predetermined pattern along the outline to create each quilting piece; (3) Cutting the two quilting pieces at the desired edge portions of the two quilting pieces adjacent to each other; (4) temporarily holding the two quilting pieces along a predetermined seam line; and (5) sewing the two quilting pieces together along the seam line. How to make a quilt.

2 (1) Gluing a plurality of 9 pieces of lining, each having an outline of a predetermined pattern, to a plurality of fabric pieces; (2) Gluing each fabric piece and the bonded lining pieces to a predetermined shape of each lining piece; A step of cutting the pattern along the outline to create each quilting piece; (3) A step of overlapping the two quilting pieces at the desired edge portions of the two adjacent quilting pieces; (4) A step of said 2. (5) suturing the two quilting pieces along the seam line; and (6) the above steps (3) and (4). A method for making a quilt comprising the steps of repeating the operations in (5) and connecting the stitched quilting fragments to another quilting fragment.

3. A method for making a quilt according to 1 or 2 above, further comprising the step of flattening the sewn quilting pieces so that they are on the same plane.

4. A method for making a quilt according to 3 above, in which the sewn quilting pieces are ironed to flatten them so that they are on the same plane.

According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a sheet of synthetic material for use in a method of making a quilt, the sheet having an adhesive applied to one side and having one or more predetermined patterns on the opposite side. has a plurality of contours and is adapted to be cut into a plurality of lining pieces having a predetermined pattern or a plurality of lining pieces having a predetermined pattern outline; A sheet of synthetic material is provided for use in a method of making a quilt, the sheet of synthetic material being adapted to adhere to fabric pieces that can be sewn together to create a quilt.

The material of the sheet can be chosen from among the currently available loosely woven or non-woven, compressed and bonded synthetic materials. Among these, "VILENE" is a non-woven fleece that can be bonded with adhesive and made into a non-woven fabric.
”) (trademark, manufactured by Nippon Vilene Co., Ltd.) is one of the ideal materials.

The adhesive applied to the sheet is preferably a heat-activated adhesive.

The sheet has, on the inside of each contour, a seam line along which the fabric and lining pieces are to be sewn together, and a center opening approximately centered on each of the seam lines. Further, the sheet may have another eye-like contour extending parallel to each contour at a position coincident with the contour inside each contour. Preferably, each contour is arranged on the sheet such that it can be cut into backing pieces having respective contours.

These and other aspects of the invention will become more apparent from the following description of preferred embodiments, with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present invention will be explained below by way of examples, but the present invention is not limited by the accompanying drawings.

The first step of the method of the invention is to first prepare a backing, for example as shown in FIG. The first step is to supply a sheet 1 of upholstery material. The backing material can be selected from available woven or non-woven, compressed and bonded materials. Vilene is one of the ideal materials to use. A plurality of contours 2 of one or more predetermined patterns are printed or stamped on the side of the backing material opposite to the side on which the adhesive is distributed.

Preferably, a uniform edge (see FIG. 2) is defined at the periphery of each pattern by an inner line parallel to the contour.

The contours of each pattern are separated from the backing material separately, for example by cutting, and applied to the reverse side of the selected fabric pieces using a hot iron. Both the backing material and the textile material are then cut in the shape of the pattern outline.

FIG. 2 shows the next step in the method of the invention, in which two desired adjacent fabric sections 3 and 4 are placed one on top of the other opposite each other. two pieces 3
and 4 along the seam line 5 shown in FIG. The center opening 6 is also printed on the curved guideline 7 of the backing material. As seen in Figure 2,
It will be appreciated that similar guidelines are provided adjacent to the recessed edge on the back side of the fabric piece 3. The pin 8 is inserted through the two pieces onto the guideline 7 after the central openings 6 of both pieces 3 and 4 are aligned. The outer ends of the two curved edges 9 and 10 are then held with pins on the guideline 7, and then further pins are inserted into these edge parts. During this operation, it will be observed that the edge portion of the lower section 3 or 4 is folded back. It is immaterial whether this folding is a concave or convex edge, but it will be appreciated that the folded edge will wrinkle. Nowadays, a sewing machine can be used to sew along seam a5. The pin 8 is then removed and the two pieces 3 and 4 are flattened so that they are coplanar.

At this time, if you smooth out the wrinkles with a warm iron, the seam line 5
It will be observed that the wrinkles on the top will be minimal. It is quite surprising how little, if any, wrinkles occur, and it is quite obvious that this is primarily due to the use of the backing material. Also,
It has been found that by virtue of the use of a backing material, the demands placed on the sewing machine tension on the fabric are much less severe. Furthermore, providing the seam line 5 ensures a more uniform assembly of the pieces 3 and 4, thereby reducing the chance of making cumulative errors that detract from the appearance of the finished quilt.

Next, another fragment is connected in the same way, Fragment 3
and 4 on the exposed side, resulting in a complete quilted patchwork. It will be clear that straight edges or edges of almost any shape can be joined with wrinkle-free seams according to the method described above. By practicing the present invention, it has been found that much less skill is required to obtain a well-assembled patchwork than heretofore thought.

Although the preferred embodiments have been described above, it is to be understood that other forms, modifications and improvements may be made within the scope of the following claims.

In addition to providing a method for making a quilt, the present invention also includes providing a backing pattern for use in the method.
