Protect your ironing board cover with a silicone pressing sheet.
Machine quilting with a walking foot
Now we quilt!
•• Center the front and back of the bag on the two pieces of
interfacing and iron in place.
•• Place a silicone pressing sheet under the interfacing to
prevent it from fusing to the ironing board cover. If you
don’t have one of these sheets, then cut two pieces of
scrap fabric 26" x 20" each and pin them to the back of
the interfacing and iron all three layers together.
Use a walking foot to quilt the layers together if desired. I
just quilted around the center blocks and down the edges of
each flying geese border, but you can add as much quilting
as you like. If you have any excess interfacing around the tops,
trim it away now.
Place the front and backs of the bag right sides together and
sew along the bottom edge using a ½" seam.
