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

From Google News Search: "Quilting" What's the difference between quilting fabric and other fabrics? Quilting thread and regular thread? Q. I have seen quilting fabric before. What's the difference between that and any other cotton fabric? I know decorator fabric is wider than other fabrics, but what's so unique about quilting fabric that makes it especially for quilts?

Quilting thread has a wax coating - do not put it into the sewing machine. Use cotton or general purpose thread. The type of fabic you choose should depend on how the quilt will be used. If it will be handled a lot and washed - cotton. If you want to make an art quilt or wall hanging, you can use anything you want - it will never be handled and will not need to be washed. Fabric sold in quilt shops is a higher quality and finer weave of cotton than what is sold in fabric stores and it is usually twice the price. Decorator fabrics are a coarser weave and usually require dry cleaning. Traditionally, cotton sold for quilting is used to make a quilt, but you can choose and use whatever you wish. Jeans, upholstery, curtain, silks,… [cont.] Answered by pattiann42 - Sun Feb 22 10:50:12 2009 Does anyone know any good quilting websites? Q. I'm new to sewing and need a few good quilting ideas.

As others have mentioned, Quilters Cache is a wonderful resource. It provides instructions for over 1500 blocks, absolutely free of charge. There are clear, step by step instructions, and at least one picture of a sewn sample block. It also shows an illustration of how the finished quilt might look. The site also has some great reference tools that a lot of people might not find. Although I love the site, it isn't all that easy to navigate. Also, it provides instructions for one block - it doesn't give cutting instructions for complete quilts. Click the drop down that says "Where do you want to go today?"
