GLOSSARY: "FREE"

Post by INKA » Mon Jul 02, 2007 10:08 pm


Browsing in the internet I have come across these confusing terms. Have tried to figure out their meanings - please correct me, if you think I am wrong!
FREEHAND QUILTING
= hand quilting without marking the pattern
FREE-FORM QUILTING
(Caveman) cutting the fabric without templates
FREEMOTION QUILTING
meandres sewn on the sewing machine (feed dogs dropped)
FREESTYLE MACHINE QUILTING
quilting using pieces of silk, beads, ribbons (collages)

Good question, Inka. I think free motion quilting is any machine quilting done with out marking your quilt with a stencil or using a pattern. I'm not sure about the rest.
