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.

I am looking for a floor/ankle length padded quilted super warm duvet like coat?
Q. I am looking for a floor/ankle length padded quilted super warm duvet like coat, can anyone help me find one? I would like a size 16 or 18 UK please and would prefer it in black with a hood. Sarah Brightman once wore something similar back in 1981 at the show Cats, and I loved it then, I wonder if there is anything similar out there now? I would need it to be able to be delivered to the UK. Thanks.

What size do you cut your quilted pillow top?
Q. If I want to end up with a 22x22 Quilted (Hawaiian Style) Pillow... what size do I cut my pillow top...now this would have to allow for seam allowances & the pulling in that happens during quilting...What do you think???
Asked by RoseMary C - Mon Aug 31 12:24:56 2009 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments

A. The amount of pulling will depend on several variables... type of fabric, type of thread, density and tension of quilting stitches, whether you pre-washed fabric, just to name a few. If your quilted top has a border, make it wide and start with... oh... 28 x 28 or so, then trim whatever you need to evenly from all sides. That should cover most eventualities (unless your border is more complicated than a single fabric.)
