Instructions
Two sheets of lightweight stabilizer are required. Lay one sheet of lightweight stabilizer over the other.
 
Lay a sheet of pellum on top of the two sheets of lightweight stabilizer. Pellium is a very thin wadding. I also sprayed starched the fabric. Hoop the combined layers of stabilizers, wadding and fabric.
 
Cut both the pellum and stabilizer. Use the outside line that was digitized into the design as a guide as to where to cut the stabilizer and the pellium. Also use the outside line also as four points for you to pin the layers together.
 
Pin two digitized squares together. Ensure that the squares are taught. Use both the stabilizer and the four points as a guide.
 
  Stitch the digitized squares together a single row.
 
Cut away excess fabric to be ready to join up with the next row of digitized squares.
 
To join up with the next row, pin from the centre of the quilt out to the edge. This method should eliminate any problems of pulling and stretching and makes it easier to join the square up when stitching across the quilt.

 
Ensure to match up the designs and the quilt squares while pinning.
 

 

 

Starting from the centre of the quilt, stitch one side of the row of squares. Match up the other side of the quilt, again starting from the centre of the quilt.
