What is quilting in sewing?
In sewing, quilting refers to a specific technique in which multiple layers of fabric are joined together to create a padded fabric. Typically, a quilt consists of three layers: the quilt top, which is made up of various pieces of fabric; the batting, which provides warmth and volume; and the backing fabric. Quilting involves stitching through all three layers, either by hand or with a Sewing machine, to stabilize the fabric and create decorative patterns or lines. Quilting is a popular technique in textile art and allows for the creation of beautiful and functional quilts, blankets, and other handmade projects.
