This picture shows fabric manipulations with different stitches to hold the fabric. I have used three different stitches: fly stitch, double cross and sorbello stitch. The fabrics are velvet, satin, cotton, thin silk, linen, thick silk and organza.
Wadded quilting: (2 samples)
This piece is quilted by machine. The three layers are: synthetic cotton, a thin layer fleece and a synthetic cotton.
This is a sampler with different machine quilted patterns. The three layers are silk, polyester wadding and a stiff linen.
Shaped quilting:
I have used a shiny synthetic fabric for this sampler. The paddings are rings, cherry stones and matches. Quilting and stitching was done by hand.
Padded quilting: The snake was stitched by hand to create a channel. The channel was filled by a thick cotton yarn. The space between the curves was filled with stippling quilting by hand. The other paddeds a filled with polyester. The upper side was than quilted by machine in meandering pattern. The lower part was done by hand in seed stitch.
Corded quilting:
This corded quilting was made on a shiny synthetic fabric with twin needle and a woolen thread.

Pictures 25, 26 and 27:
These samples show the different ways to make tucks, pleats and gathers. All these samples are made of thin and shiny synthetic fabrics. I have made parallel folds, filled tucks with fancy yarn and pipe cleaner, high tucks with several lines of stitching, tucks pressed flat and than stitched by zigzag, tucks were sliced with a zigzag scissor, sliced tucks were fryed out, short length of tucks stitched straight and cross.
Picture 28 and 29 show samples of combination tucks all done by machine. Chequer board, backward facing tucks were cut in strips and re-arranged.
Here are 4 samples of gathering techniques: long machine stitches
zigzag stitches over elastic ribbon
fancy machine stitch
