Quilting

Quilting is a sewing method done either by hand or sewing machine. It utilizes a needle and thread to join two or more layers of material together to make a quilt. A standard quilt consists of three layers, the quilt top, an insulating material, and a backing material. The process will pass a needle through all of the layers, either by hand or by a sewing machine, and then back up. The process is repeated across the entire piece where the quilting is desired.
