Serger Quilt

June 29, 2016 by Angie 2 Comments

Last week I purchased a Juki Serger MO 654DE and I decided to make a Serger Quilt the minute it arrived.   (Yes, I wanted the Bernina serger but I needed to make sure it was a machine that I would use.)

Juki serger

Here’s the story ….

I made this Serger Quilt by watching about ten different videos….. none of the instructions were helpful in all areas of the quilt so I had to search.  By the end of the quilt …. I had made so many changes it’s safe to say it’s my doing (does that make sense?).

Serger-Quilt-Flat

I used my Juki Serger and a Walking Foot with my Bernina.  You can make this quilt without a Serger but you must have a Walking Foot because the layers are thick!

I cut two strips each of five designs that measure 6 (or 6-1/2) x WOF (WOF is width of fabric).  Then I cut 8 strips of White Fabric by the same measurements.

Serger-Quilt-Start

I serged the strips together with the batting and the back fabric … stitched in the ditch … and then I stitch to the left and the right of seam.  Just typing all that sounds so confusing … which is why I will film a video!  For my benefit and yours 🙂

This was my first very attempt at binding and now I know why I pay my long arm quilter to do it for me!!  I am determined to master it~

Serger-Quilt-

Now for some honestly … I need to go to cutting fabric school!  I don’t like cutting strips of fabric that exceed my cutting mat because I  never cut straight.   So …. I have an idea on how to change this quilt …. by using smaller pieces of fabric.  I will play with that on vacation!!

Serger-Quilt-Complete

This quilt measures 36 x 51 and it’s the perfect size for a child!

Gotta run … we leave for vacation in a few days and I have a million things to do!!

p.s. I re-read my post … I think I’m a little scattered today 🙂

    I didn’t know you could quilt with a serger. Honestly, I don’t know much about them except you can do raw edge sewing. I’m curious to see your video when you figure this out. Then again, I don’t need to want another machine, so please take your time. 🙂
