QUILTING

Use washable cotton wadding suitable for quilting, and sandwich it between two layers of fabric. It is important to keep the layers flat, and stretched fairly taut. Tack quilting lines from the centre of the pattern piece out to the edges, to avoid dis- torting the fabric. Hand sew along the tacking lines, pulling out the tacking as you go.
