Hand Quilting Class

Quilting By the Shore is thrilled to introduce Lucille Clark. Lucille has been sharing her skills and talent for 45+ years in Hand Quilting and Applique. Come join Lucille and begin your hand quilting journey, come take the leap into this amazing and enjoyable technique that will bring your quilting to a whole new experience.

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. 

Process:

The quilt top, batting, and backing are basted together.  You will then use a needle and thread to stitch through all three layers, typically using a running stitch. Once the quilting is complete, the quilt is washed, dried, and bound,

Benefits:


Unique Texture:

Hand quilting creates a soft, crinkled texture that is not achievable with 

machine quilting. 


Personal Touch

The process is meditative and allows for a more personal touch in the 

quilting design. 


Durable:

Hand quilting can be just as durable as machine quilting, especially with the use of quilting threads.
