ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for quilting layered fabrics by a sewing machine. The fabric and liner are unrolled from parallel fabric and liner shafts onto a winding shaft for the quilted fabric and disposed beneath the carrier arm of the sewing machine carriage. A hand control for free-hand quilting may be extensible from the sewing machine head and retracted during pattern quilting. The sewing machine carriage is mounted on parallel rails extending transversely of the pattern on linear anti-friction bearings. Other parallel rails and anti-friction linear bearings extending longitudinally of the pattern also mount the linear bearings and carriage for movement longitudinally of the fabric to be quilted. A follower depends from the sewing machine carriage to engage and follow the pattern and controls movement of the carriage to conform to the pattern selected for quilting. The fabric and liner shafts may be adjusted and rotated to maintain the required tension on the material being quilted, and to assure a completed quilt free from wrinkles.
