ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for making aesthetically pleasing and novel quilting including intricate artistic stitching-patterns. The quilting results from a preferably tri-laminar layup having a resiliently-compressible foam layer sandwiched between relatively thin facing and base fabric sheets. The method utilizes a tabletop for supporting the layup, at least one sewing machine head overlying and associated with the tabletop, and gripper means for frictionally engaging non-peripheral areas of the layup for shifting same along the tabletop relative to the sewing head according to successive command means. Utilizing a primary sewing-command means for the gripper, a primary-design portion of the overall stitching-pattern is made within a primary-area of the layup; then, utilizing a reposition-command means, the gripper shifts the layup so as to bring a layup secondary-area toward the sewing head; and next, utilizing a secondary sewing-command means for the gripper, another portion of the overall stitching-pattern is made outside the layup primary-area.
