Hand quilting is a traditional method of creating a quilt by hand-sewing the fabric layers (quilt top, batting, and backing) together using a needle and thread, without the use of a sewing machine. It involves stitching through all three layers with a running stitch, creating a soft, crinkled texture.
Lori Holt Crazy Quilt Paper is used in creating fun, unique piecing out of 10" fabric squares or one Layer Cake.
