Amish Handmade Quilt Trivia

The term handmade is commonly used to describe crafts produced by a craftsman as opposed to a manufacturing facility. Because it is not mass-produced, each handmade quilt is special. Nonetheless, not all the sewing in a hand-crafted quilt is done manually. Just as the woodcrafter utilizes mechanical devices to produce his craftsmanship, our seamstresses make use of different devices to craft these quilts. The seamstress cuts her items with a rotary blade knife and also sew them with each other on the sewing machine. The quilter functions with just needle, thimble, and string to quilt hundreds of small stitches throughout the quilt. Handmade is a gift: it is the gift of time and also skill to develop an item distinctly for you.
