Bernina 50 manual to hold it in place, Repeat until you have stitched 25 blocks, Make 5 rows

Attach the right hand guide to Walking Foot #50 and set it at 3” from the needle. Tighten the screw

to hold it in place.

Place the guide on the previously stitched line and sew the same decorative stitch on each side of the two diagonal lines.

Stitch all blocks of the same fabric with the same thread, choosing a different decorative stitch for each block. Choose open decorative stitches, avoiding the satin-based stitches.

Repeat until you have stitched 25 blocks.

When all blocks are stitched, trim to 10” squares.

Arrange the blocks as desired in a 5 x 5 grid.

With wrong sides (backs) together, sew five blocks together in a row. Guide the edges with the ¼” seam mark on the walking foot.

Make 5 rows.

Press seam allowances open—they will be on the right side of the quilt.

With wrong sides (backs) together, stitch the rows together to make a square.

Press seam allowances open.

Select a zigzag stitch with length = 2mm, width = 5mm. Zigzag the seams open using

athread that is comple- mentary to all the blocks, as it will show on the back of the quilt.

Spray starch the binding fabric. To avoid seaming, fold the fabric at a diagonal so that when you cut the bias strips in the next step you will be cutting strips as long as possible.

Cut eight 1¾”-wide bias strips that are at least 52” long (seaming if necessary). Set aside the rest of the fabric.
