Amish Handmade Quilt Trivia

The term handmade is commonly used to define crafts produced by a craftsman rather than a manufacturing facility. Due to the fact that it is not mass-produced, each handmade quilt is special. Nevertheless, not all the stitching in a handcrafted quilt is done by hand. Just as the woodcrafter makes use of mechanical devices to develop his workmanship, our seamstresses make use of numerous devices to craft these quilts. The seamstress cuts her items with a rotary blade knife as well as stitch them with each other on the sewing machine. The quilter works with merely thimble, needle, and also thread to quilt numerous tiny stitches throughout the quilt. Handmade is a gift: it is the gift of time as well as ability to create a thing distinctively for you.
