Amish Homemade Quilt Facts

The term handmade is typically utilized to define crafts created by a craftsman instead of a manufacturing facility. Each handmade quilt is special because it is not mass-produced. Not all the sewing in a hand-made quilt is done by hand. Just as the woodcrafter utilizes mechanical tools to produce his workmanship, our seamstresses use various devices to craft these quilts. The seamstress cuts her items with a rotating knife and stitch them together on the sewing machine. The quilter collaborates with only thread, thimble, and needle to quilt hundreds of little stitches throughout the quilt. Handmade is a gift: it is the gift of time and skill to create an item uniquely for you.
