Quilting is a technique of padding a fabric. It consists of two layers, with
batting between the top and the backing fabric. Next it is stitched with
decorative designs or threads tied through all thickness inorder to prevent
the batting from shifting. The quilting stitches are spaced with regularity.
The multiple lines of a running stitch is done by hand or by sewing machine.
All fabrics used in quilting are pre-washed as well as pressed. The fabrics
are easy to needle. They are lightweight and comfortable. Quilting fabrics
for pillows and clothing are very luxurious. They drape and wear
beautifully.
