Appliqued and embroidered quilts need to be treated in a unique way, in order to emphaize the hand work and allow it to be the feature it was designed to be. These quilts will be highly customised drawing on a range of different quilting styles.
Heirloom quilting is a combination of a number of different quilting techniques, similar to custom quilting but providing that extra attention to detail for those extra special projects.
Quilting can do more then just hold your top, wadding and backing together, you can use it to emphasise and bring that extra 'wow' factor to your quilt top.
Quilts arn't always about the women in our lives, sometimes it is all about the Men. Picking a quilting style that is manly can sometimes be hard, and needs that little bit more thought.
Meandering is one of the simplest and can be one of the most effective styles of quilting for your patchwork top. Its all about the effect your after, and meandering is great for that antique finish.
Boarders are an important part of the patchwork effect, they frame the quilt and finish it off. Applying the right design to your final boarder is rather like choosing the right picture frame texture for that photo, if you get it wrong, it just doesn't work.
Thread colour is often the last thing you consider in the design process of your quilt top, however the right thread can make a quilt all that more spectacular and give your work an extra depth.
