Hand quilting is a traditional method of stitching together the top, batting, and backing of a quilt using a needle and thread. This technique creates beautifully intricate designs and ensures durability. Quilting by hand allows for more control and precision compared to machine quilting, resulting in a unique and personalized finished product. It requires time, patience, and skill, making each hand-quilted piece a labor of love and a cherished heirloom. We see examples in FTM in the traditional Indian Kantha running stitch.
