Quilting
is
a
traditional
sewing
technique.
The
method
that
the
wives
of
American
settlers
developed
to
make
use
of
material
remnants
has
become
an
artistic
hobby
with
many
enthusiasts
worldwide.
A
quilt
always
consists
of
three
layers
of
material.
Lots
of
geometrically
shaped
pieces
of
material
are
joined
together
in
continually
changing
patterns
to
form
the
top
layer
of
the
quilt.
This
is
-‘
tacked
onto
the
middle
layer
made
of
polyester
padding
and
connected
to
the
back
layer
of
the
quilt
that
usually
consists
of
one
uniform
piece
of
material.
The
entire
quilt
is
often
also
bordered
with
the
back
layer.
Of
course,
the
work
of
piecing
the
individual
bits
j
of
material
together
must
be
very
precise.
The
Dual
Feed
is
of
particular
importance
when
doing
II
Ii
a
this.
And
this
is
what
you
do:
Cut
out
the
parts
of
your
quilt
with
templates
you
have
bought
or
made
yourself.
A
seam
allowance
of
0.7
cm
should
already
be
included
in
the
templates.
Spread
out
the
parts
as
in
the
pattern
and
form
small
squares
that
you
can
match
together.
These
squares
are
then
sewn
together
to
form
the
surface
of
the
quilt.
The
seam
allowances
of
quilts
are
not
neat
ened
up
but
just
smoothed
out
never
ironed!
Tack
your
finished
surface
of
the
quilt
onto
the
layer
of
polyester
padding
with
the
back
layer
of
the
quilt
underneath.
In
traditional
quilts
these
three
layers
of
mate
rial
are
sewn
together
by
hand
with
small
stitches
but
it
is
quicker
and
more
practical
with
the
sewing
machine,
e.g.
with
program
No.
00.
There
is
always
stitching
about
2
mm
beside
the
seam.
Embroidery
stitches
look
very
good
on
plain
coloured
material.
When
your
quilt
is
finished
you
can
make
it
into
cushions,
wall
hangings
or
bed
covers.
