Quilting
|
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 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 area 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. Quilt stores often sell fabric, thread, patterns and other goods that are used for quilting. They often have group sewing and quilting classes, where one can learn how to sew or quilt and work with others to exchange skills. Quilt stores often have quilting machines that can be rented out for use, or customers can drop off their quilts and have them professionally quilted. From Wikipedia under the

Currently I don't know how to sew or anything about quilting. What do I need to get started? Asked by laurenb1595 - Thu Oct 16 23:01:54 2008 - Hobbies & Crafts - 6 Answers - Comments A. First decide if you want to quilt by hand or with a machine. I'm a machine quilter, so that's the direction I'll go with this answer. You don't need anything fancy in a sewing machine - a basic straight stitch is all you MUST have, although things like a quarter inch foot, needle down function, a walking foot, a zigzag stitch and a free motion or darning foot may come in handy. Before spending hundreds of dollars on a new machine, check out Freecycle or ask around in your family. You'll probably be able to find a machine for nothing. A class is the best way to learn because you can get an answer to your specific question right away. Books are good, as are videos, but nothing beats one on one training.

Q. We are hoping to have moved to New Zealand by February and id like to know where there are other quilting addicts! Asked by Bbrandy333 - Mon Nov 5 07:00:41 2007 - Hobbies & Crafts - 1 Answers - Comments A. It's not much of a help, but there must be quilting magazines and these often include news of groups. I don't know where you live now, but in the UK and USA there is always news of groups somewhere in magazines. Also, have you tried googling something like Quilting, New Zealand? There may be a Guild which could help you. Answered by derfini - Mon Nov 5 14:04:00 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "quilting" |
