Quilting is a sewing method done to join two or more layers of material together to make a thicker padded material. A quilter is the name given to someone who works at quilting. Quilting can be done by hand, by sewing machine, or by a specialist longarm quilting system. The process of quilting 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 rocking, straight or running stitch is commonly used and these stitches can be purely functional or decorative and elaborate. Quilting is done to create bed spreads, art quilt wall hangings, clothing, and a variety of textile products. Quilting can make a project thick, or with dense quilting, can raise one area so that another stands out. HistoryFrom Wikipedia under the

Asked by niteskies1977 - Thu May 31 12:57:07 2007 - - 11 Answers - 0 Comments A. If you're going to piece and quilt by hand, you need large fabric scissors (the spring loaded kind are wonderful), small thread scissors, needles (sharps for piecing, and betweens for quilting), pins, template material (cardboard from a cereal box, template plastic, or pre-made templates), marking pens or pencils, neutral colored cotton thread in light, medium and dark shades, a thread conditioner (it's worth the extra couple of dollars - keeps your thread from twisting), a good beginner book (try Jinny Beyer or Alex Anderson), cotton fabric, and batting. If you're going to piece and quilt by machine, you need the same scissors, pins, neutral thread, fabric and batting. You also need a machine, of course. It doesn't have to be fancy - as… [cont.] Answered by swbiblio - Thu May 31 19:06:37 2007 what sort of sewing machine do I need to start quilting? Q. I am a beginner to sewing and quilting.I have no previous knowledge of quilting. Asked by Janette O - Tue May 16 09:44:13 2006 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. I am a beginner myself. I have made several quilts (not that many), and have many many planned. But since you are a beginner too, maybe this will help. My machine was a very inexpensive model. Just your everyday run of the mill sewing machine, but it works just fine for the basic sewing and quilting. However, I wish that I would have invested a little more and gotten a few more features, like being able to drop the feed dogs for free motion quilting (you can cover them though with a darning plate), or one with more stitches. Just depends on how much you have to spend. I think that if you are on a budget, then a basic sewing machine will do the job. But if you can invest more, and plan on using it a lot, then why not get one with all… [cont.] Answered by Susan S - Tue May 16 14:50:29 2006 Where can I find a good site that shows and explains how to do hand quilting for wall decor?
Q. Years ago I was being taught how to do a quilting project that was for wall pictures and quilting. It was done with a simple pinwheel pattern with contrasting colors and all done with hand stitching. I guess it was actually applique.
