Verbquilting
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. 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

These used to be in the shape of an apple or tomato with a strawberry shaped thing attached by a cord. run the needle through the emery bag several times. I personally like the #9 or 11 needles and they are so very brittle that they bend and break. I get the plastic headed quilting pins. They are finer than T-pins so slide through the fabrics easier. Also, see if you can find some "raw" wool. This is natural from the sheep, not scoured so the lanolin is still in it. Also the dirt, but that doesn't matter too much. Run the needles and pins through the wool several times. It both polishes, sharpens and leaves a film of lanolin on the needles and pins. This helps the steel to go… [cont.] Answered by Miz Lamb - Sat Dec 29 14:14:29 2007 What is a good pattern for handing quilting flying geese? Q. I have made a quilt for Christmas in a flying geese pattern. Now I just need to quilt it. I don't know what a good "pattern" is to do the hand quilting. I have looked online and haven't gotten any ideas. Asked by ErinR - Sat Jan 10 21:39:55 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. I've always thought that if you're going to the effort of hand-quilting, it should SHOW! To me, quilting in-the-ditch seems a waste of all the work of hand-quilting. For a simple pattern, you could stitch 1/4" inside the seam lines of either all the geese or all the backgrounds (whichever is lighter). Here's an example. Good luck.
