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. 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 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 thick, or with dense quilting, can raise one area so that another stands out. Quilting can be done by hand, by sewing machine, or by a spacialist longarm quilting system.

Q. I am interested in starting to quilt. Having never quilted before, and having no one in the family that does quilt, it is difficult to figure out how to get started and the process. I know there are tons of books at Hobby Lobby and other stores on quilting. Also, that I can get stencils and most material I need at these places. I still have several questions though. 1. What are the best informational books/ websites for beginners? If it is a book app. how much will it cost? 2. Is it easier to do the quilting design by hand or machine? 3. Is basting spray or stiching better? 4. How much do the normal tools cost? IE rotary cutter and board, special feet for the sewing machine.

I strongly recommend taking a class if at all possible, because nothing compares to having someone who knows what they're doing right there when you have a question. A local quilt shop is your best bet. You could also try a chain fabric/craft store, or even check if a community college has any adult education classes in quilting. If a class is not an option, however, there are some good books available. 1. Books - For a beginner, try "Start Quilting with Alex Anderson." This is the book we used in my class. It teaches the basics of machine quilting (she also has one for hand quilting). It's a thin book, list price $12.95 (about $10 on Amazon). This is a great workbook. It teaches six basic blocks, but they give you the techniques needed… [cont.] Answered by swbiblio - Mon Dec 11 00:31:19 2006 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Quilters" See also:
