Quilting is a sewing method
done either by hand, by sewing
machine, or by Longarm quilting
system. The process uses a
needle and thread to join two or
more layers of material together
to make a quilt. Typical quilting
is done with three layers, the top
fabric or quilt top, batting or
insulating material and backing
material. The quilter's hand or
sewing machine passes the
needle and thread through all
layers and then brings the
needle back up. The process is
repeated across the entire piece
where quilting is wanted. A
straight or running stitch is
commonly used and these
stitches can be purely functional
or decorative and elaborate.
Quilting is done on bed
spreads, art quilt wall hangings,
clothing, and a variety of textile
products. Quilting can make a
project puffy, or with dense
quilting, can raise one area so
that another stands out.
