The quilting technique came to us from ancient Rome, and from folklore and applied art turned into a stylized original type of needlework. Connected by different color, flaps of fabric are fixed with a quilting (curly) seam and form an unusual, embossed, three -dimensional pattern.
In general, we can say that quilting is a connection of several applied techniques: patchwork, application and embroidery. Products made using these techniques are called quilts. They consist of the upper layer, usually using the elements of the patchwork and applications, the middle lining, and the cotton or silk lining.
The technique of creating decorative products is based on fastening a three -story tissue tier. The craftswomen skillfully apply fabric details on larger fragments, determining the future relief and the volume of its appearance.
Selected by texture, pattern and color, tissue shreds are cut out using a frame that takes into account the size of the finished product. The frame-flood frame is applied to the back of the fabric and is fixed. Then, the parts circled with chalk are cut along the contour and sewn sequentially.
The work is painstaking and laborious, but simple in terms of execution technique, and the result is inspired by new designer finds. The entertaining needlework of our grandmothers is becoming more popular every year.
In order to fasten the flaps, quivvings use a sewing machine. Modern models of machines provide a higher paw lift, automatic thread cutting and a wider working surface of the table, which is convenient additions when working with thick, voluminous and large materials in size.
Working accessories, in the form of a roller knife for cutting and records – a mat, a transparent line, frames and heels, provide comfortable work.
Multi -colored shreds, folding into beautiful patterns, are able to turn into designer paintings, stylish blankets and copyright rag dolls.
