Amish Handmade Quilt Facts

The term handmade is generally utilized to describe crafts produced by a craftsman instead of a manufacturing facility. Because it is not mass-produced, each handmade quilt is unique. Not all the stitching in a handmade quilt is done by hand. Just as the woodcrafter utilizes mechanical devices to create his craftsmanship, our seamstresses use different devices to craft these quilts. The seamstress cuts her pieces with a rotating knife as well as sew them with each other on the sewing machine. The quilter collaborates with just string, needle, and also thimble to quilt thousands of little stitches throughout the quilt. Handmade is a gift: it is the gift of time as well as skill to create a thing distinctively for you.
