Quilting machines are quilting made using sewing machines to be sewn in lines or patterns using selective techniques to sew through fabric layers and hit in the old quilting-style manner. Some machines even imitate hand stitches, such as Sashiko or running quilting stitches.

Histori

While sewing machines are typically used to make blankets such as patchwork, there is rarely a vintage blanket that is not hand-lined. Ordinary sewing machines (domestically) have been used to hold layers of blankets together since they were created, however, it was not until the 1990s that this earning skill became accepted and has now replaced the hand quilting in popularity.

Technique

To start quilting any machine, three layers of quilt fabric, quilt top, batting, and backing, are temporarily littered with safety pins. Stitches in a straight line are usually done by replacing the normal presser foot with a bait attachment on foot . This gadget is designed to avoid wrinkles by advancing multiple layers at the same speed as the feeder dogs. With the dog feed rising, the length of the stitches is controlled by setting the length of the seam of the machine.

Quilting motion-free

Quilting motion freely is a process used to sew a blanket layer together using a domestic sewing machine with a feed dog lowered, with dribbling feet installed. When the feed dogs are lowered they do not advance the cloth; and with dripping feet floating just above the layer, the operator controls the length of the stitches and the direction of the stitch lines by moving the covers with their hands. Stitches can be made in any direction and for curved lines or straight patterns. Each design, whether drawn on a blanket or held in a quilter imagination, is formed with a stitching line guided by a blanket motion under the engine needle. The length of each stitch is determined by the distance the blanket has been moved since the previous stitch.

Heirloom machine quilting

Heirloom machine quilting is a more sophisticated quilting technique using a sewing machine. In 1985, Harriet Hargrave coined the term heirloom machine quilting. It was Hargrave's determination to use his domestic sewing machine to mimic the appearance of the hand quilting that forced him to begin this art. For quilting heritage machines, operators use sophisticated free-motion techniques. The scale of work is perfected, using smaller threads and needles that allow the use of complex, detailed patterns.

Blankets with quilting of heirloom machines usually include a background quilting that fills negative spaces around the design with solid seams. This creates a contrast between the curved arch shape and the flattened background space using stippling, echo quilting, repetitive patterns, or geometric lattices. The elaborate layered design produces three dimensions on the surface of the blanket through light and shadow games. Motif enlarged, looks brighter because of high areas capture light; while low areas recede to the depth of the shadow.
