Large frames can also be used to stretch the whole quilt at once. Piecing or patchwork is when pieces of fabric are sewn together to form a pattern. A block is a section of patchwork stitched in a shape, such as a square. Traditional quilts were built by combining the blocks. They may vary or be the same.
Basting is the stitching used to hold the three layers of fabric together while quilting.
The temporary stitching is used in a grid pattern. Copyright 2001 Courier-Post. For questions, comments, or problems contact us . The Courier-Post is a part of Gannett Co. Inc. , parent company of USA Today .
