Once you've basted your quilt block, batting and backing together, it's time to quilt! This video shows you three quilting variations using a sewing machine. You can choose to outline your blocks, or use a technique called stitch-in-the-ditch, which is less visible. Finally, you could use straight-line stitching. The type and amount of quilting you choose to use varies the finished piece. Lots of stitching makes the quilt thinner and stiffer, while less quilting results in a more pillowy quilt. Did you know?
