Abstract
A method of texturing fabric to produce a surface of a quilt. The method includes folding down the fabric top along a marking of a first set of markings to produce a fold and sewing a seam along the fold, repeating the folding and sewing steps for each marking of the first set of markings. After folding and sewing, the method can include cutting a portion of each fold where the seam associated with the first set of markings intersects with the other set of markings. The method can include folding down the fabric top along a marking of a second set of markings to produce a fold and sewing a seam along the fold, repeating the folding and sewing steps for each marking of the second set of markings.
Claims20
A fabric for piecing a portion of a quilt, the fabric comprising:
- a design pattern disposed on a first surface of the fabric;
- and
- a guide pattern disposed on the first surface of the fabric, the guide pattern comprising one or more sets of markings, wherein the one or more sets of markings define boundaries for the design pattern;
- the fabric being configured to be folded and sewn along each marking of the one or more sets of markings, whereby the design pattern is aligned and the one or more sets of markings are no longer visible on the first surface.
A method of texturing fabric, the fabric comprising a plurality of a set of markings on a first surface, the method comprising:
- (a) folding down the first surface of the fabric along a marking of a first set of markings to produce a fold;
- (b) sewing a seam along the fold associated with the first set of markings, thereby texturing the fabric;
- and
- (c) repeating (a) and (b) for each marking of the first set of markings.
A method of manufacturing a material to be textured, the method comprising:
- selecting a design pattern comprising a plurality of designs;
- disposing the design pattern on a first surface of the material;
- and
- disposing a guide pattern on the first surface of the material, wherein the plurality of design are defined by the guide pattern, further wherein the material is configured to be folded and fastened on the guide pattern to produce a fabric free of the guide pattern.
