Note: 1) When using the template to quilt around you must have the ruler foot (#72 or #96) on your machine as well as a ruler base if you are on a stand-up machine. 2) When using the template to quilt around you will be stitching 1/2" larger (the width of your foot) when stitching completely around the template or 1/4" wider if only using a portion of the template (the distance from your needle to the outer edge of your foot). 3) You may need to start with drawn/chalked guidelines or seam lines on your quilt.

CLAMSHELL PATTERN FILL

Align the printed line on the template to your guideline, and sew from one end to the other.

Move the tool over and align arcs with the horizontal line and ruler foot. Stitch next arc. Continue in this fashion for desired length.

You can stop here for a single row of arcs.

Try staggering the arcs for a fun variation.

Continue for an overall clamshell. When you get to the end of your base row, backtrack over 1/2 of last arc, stopping at small printed center line on template as shown below.

WWW.BERNINA.COM
Move ruler to this new position aligning the small arc with the ruler foot and printed horizontal dash line with the top of the stitched arcs. Stitch across to the other side of the arc. Continue stitching and moving template as in previous row but this time in the opposite direction.

Fill in desired area with staggered rows of clamshell.

Try different sized arcs as desired.

Start with a horizontal guideline or seam. Align the printed dash line on the 1" side of the template to your guideline and sew from one end to the other. Move the template over and repeat stitching, creating a row of 1" clamshells. Needle down.

Without moving the foot, change to the 4" arc. Align the printed line on the 4" side of template to your guideline and sew in the opposite direction from your previous stitching, creating an "umbrella" over 1" clamshells. Move template and repeat as desired. The 3" arc works as well.

Umbrella design.

Mix different size clamshells.

Squiggle #3 Instructions
The Squiggle tool is specifically designed to machine quilt across a seam line with a simple, even wave. It's specifically designed to be easily manageable, which will quickly create a wide variety of designs. There are printed vertical and horizontal lines to help align the tool when creating your designs.

WWW.BERNINA.COM

*Note:
If you are using the tool on a machine that moves (stand-up or frame), be sure to have the ruler base attached to your machine. The hills and valleys on this template is designed with the ½" foot in mind.

Let's start with the basics. Place the Squiggle Template on a seam aligning the dashed lines on the seam.

Stitch the wave stopping when you get to the seam. Needle down. Slide the Squiggle Template keeping the dashed lines aligned with the seam. Continue the wave.

dashed lines

The Ribbon Effect
By using the "flip" movement with the Squiggle Template, you can create some interesting effects.

Align the dashed lines with a seam. Stitch the wave the length you desire.

Flip the Squiggle Template. Align the dashed lines with the seams and make sure the hills are opposite the valleys and vice versa.

Stitch the new wave.

Nested Mini Ovals Instructions

The Nested Mini Ovals are designed for use on a machine (either sit-down, or mounted on a frame). If you are using tools on a machine that moves, be sure to have a base such as an Extend-A-Base or ruler base attached to your machine. The dimensions of these tools are designed with the 1/2" round foot in mind. This means from outside edge to outside edge of the foot measures 1/2". Bernina foot #72 or #96.

SPYROGRAPHING OVALS
You will be using the printed lines on the template to keep your design even and consistent. You will need to have lines or seams (shown in purple dashes) on the block where the design is to be stitched. If there are no seams, (for instance: a blank block as opposed to a four patch), use a stencil to pounce in a grid, or use a ruler to draw in a set of cross hairs on the block. Line template up with one edge of the oval on the center point of the block and the printed line running straight up the key on the vertical line of the crosshairs. The printed line opposite the key should be on the same vertical line.
*Note: The first time you do this, it is easiest with the largest size. If you use one of the smaller sizes, you might find it helpful to use blue painter's tape to help hold the pieces with moving the template.

Pick an oval size. Remove key from template in order to position foot on the inside of the Nested Mini Ovals. Replace key, being sure to match key to oval desired.

Starting at the center of the block, stitch a complete oval. Needle down.
