Making Quilt Blocks with my Embroidery Machine

Have you ever tried making quilt blocks on your embroidery machine?

This week I dug into my dresser of scraps and gave a quilt block embroidery design a try.

This design is called โ€˜Starburstโ€™ and making these blocks involves folding fabric and then stitching it down – again and again. And then running the same design again and again to make each block.

Iโ€™m using my Janome Memory Craft 14000 because it has a big 9โ€™โ€™ square hoop so I can make 9โ€™โ€™ blocks.

I love how there will be so many different ways that I can arrange the blocks – if I make enough for a quilt.

But now after experimenting with this new design and different process for making quilt blocks – Iโ€™m not sure that I have the patience and desire to make 20+ more so I can sew them into a quilt.

Hereโ€™s the video I made to tell you about these blocks – and show you the MESS that I made when working on them.

Do you have an embroidery machine? Have you ever made quilt blocks with it? Tell me about it!
