ABSTRACT:
A puff quilt square maker and method for fabricating a puff quilt square for use in fabricating a quilt or other similar article, such as a child's book, clothing, or decorative article. The puff quilt square maker is used to fabricate puffs in quitting of various shapes and sizes, including the size of the design and the height of the puff, in order to fabricate virtually any design in soft sculpture. A gathering guide is used to gauge each gathered edge of a piece of fabric. The gathering guide is provided with a first slit for receiving and holding one end of the thread used to gather the fabric and a plurality of second slits for receiving and holding a further portion of the thread. The puff quilt square maker includes a core and a guide ring for fabricating a puff. The fabric is placed over the core, with a reference mark positioned over the center of the core. After the fabric has been aligned with the core, the guide ring is slipped over the fabric to the bottom extent of the core. The fabric, while maintained over the core with the guide ring, is then sewn to secure the gathers formed around the base of the core. After the entire circuit around the guide ring is sewn, the guide ring is removed from about the core and the core is withdrawn from the puff In order to shape the puff, a stuffing is inserted through the opening formed in the previous step. The puff quilt square is completed by attaching the puff quilt square face to a backing. In order to achieve sculpting effects to simulate a particular article, the puff is embroidered. Upon completion of the required number of the puff quilt squares, the puff quilt squares are incorporated into the quilt or other article.
