Patchwork consists of sewing together small pieces of fabric to form a larger object and design. Anyone wanting to try patchwork needs a lot of time and patience!
The pieces of fabric are traditionally sewn together by hand. You can also sew patchwork by machine. The result is achieved more quickly and is more regular than when it's sewn by hand. However, it loses its artisanal, "handmade" flair when it's machine-stitched.
The pieces of fabric are joined together by being sewn onto a larger background fabric.This technique allows for a wider range of design and pattern options than traditional patchwork. The fabric can be sewn by hand or by machine.
This technique originated in England and it consists of assembling pieces of fabric in an unplanned, random fashion. The haphazard-looking result is the opposite of the planned, geometric traditional quilt. Generally, crazy quilts are made from miscellaneous pieces of fabric and are often heavily embellished with stitching.
