Made to Measure SewingMachine Cover6mm (¼”) seam allowanceMeasure length, width and height of your sewing machine.Remember the fly wheel and any other protruding piece.To determine the cut width of fabric:Add length and width together then add 1” for seamsTo determine the cut length offabric: Add height and HALFwidth together then add 1” forseams.Working on the example shown - the fabric required measured16 x 25” - when seams added the result was 17 x 26”.Cut two pieces of fabric this size.Cut one square from left andright top corner of each piece offabric, the size of squares is half the widthmeasurement of your machine. (4” in thisexample)Hard sums over!So no more delay - let’s appliqué!1. Cut one 8½” square. Press in half. Open out2. Draw 7” circle on W/S of fabric: Alignmid line on Circle Cut template withcrease in fabric. Draw on half, fliptemplate over, re-align with crease, drawother half of circle.3. Follow Stage 2and draw heartin the centre ofcircle - use EazyHeart template.4. Pin this piece to the W/S of one machinecover section.5. Using a small stitch length sew rounddrawn circle and heart.1
6. Turn to R/S - very carefullycut top fabric outside heartand inside circle - this revealsthe backing material.7. Satin stitch over the cutedges. Remember to use thecorrect foot - it has a cut-awaysection underneath, it may beyour acrylic foot. If you havean open-toed foot, you can seemore clearly where you aregoing!Lay piece of paper or stitch ‘n tear underneath to stop the fabric buckling when satin stitching.Paper will tear away easily after stitching.8. Place on wadding. Pin layers.9. Quilt round centreshape. On completion ofquilting, sew roundoutside edge - keep stitching close to raw edge.Trim excess wadding tofabric edge.10. Repeat above stageswith other half of machinecover. I used the Eazy Heart shape and drew one heart insideanother.11. Use one of these quilted pieces as a template for the lining.Cut two pieces of lining.Make up Cover1. Pin quilted layers together. If your sewingmachine has a handle - mark length of handle ontop edge of cover.2. Sew sides and top of cover - do not sew acrossthe handle gap.If your machine does not require hole for handle,sew across the entire top.2
3. Open out corner section, bringboth sides together. Pin layers.Match seams, sew straight across. Keep seams open and flat to reduce bulk.4. Repeat Stages 1 - 3 with lining BUT sew across cornerusing larger seam allowance - 1.25cm (½”).EVEN if you are not leaving a gap for the handle - leave a gapin lining in same place to turn cover through.5. Put quilted cover insidelining R/S together. Matchseams. Pin raw edges. Sew round.6. Turn cover R/S out throughgap for handle (or throughgap in lining).7. Press outer edge and topstitch.8. Sew lining and top fabric neatly round handle hole or sew gapin lining closed (if no handle).9. Place on machine and admire!Why not make a cover for yourSimplicity Caddy in the same fashion? This one is not quilted norlined.Cut two 25½” squares. Cut 4¼ squares off top corners. Sew piecestogether using ½”S/A. Leave 6” gap in top of caddy cover for smallhandle. Overlock/zigzag raw edges where possible for addedstrength and to prevent fraying. Put cover on caddy beforemarking position ofextending handle.Check this carefullybefore cutting fabric.Hem tidily round thecut section.3
