Machine quilting is a sewing technique that uses a sewing machine to stitch layers of fabric together, typically a quilt top, batting, and backing. This method allows for faster and more consistent stitching compared to hand quilting, making it a popular choice for both beginners and experienced quilters. In machine quilting, various patterns and designs can be created using different types of stitches and quilting feet. Many quilters use a walking foot or a free-motion foot to achieve their desired effects. This technique not only enhances the quilt's appearance but also adds durability and warmth.
