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

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.

I have done quite a bit of sewing, but mostly things like banners for camp and classrooms, costumes, and things like that. I would like to try my hand at quilting, but I'm not even sure how to begin! I would love some suggestions for books I may be able to find through the library or where I might be able to find free resources online that are geared towards beginners. Thanks!

Q. I just bought this quilting frame at an auction. All the parts seem to be in the box but no instructions. It is probably 30 years old or so. There are three 10 foot rods, 4 "T" shaped legs, 2 16 inch boards, two brackets and 3 wooden hook shaped pieces. Any help would be greatly appreciatred.

This site has pictures of a lot of different frames and hopefully you can match up what you have to one of the pictures. You can also match the price with what you paid.
