Quilting by Hand?
I would really like to learn how to quilt, but I was wondering if it is possible to do most of the work by hand and not on a sewing machine. I prefer geometric patterns to applique patterns and was thinking I could make squares and then sew them together. At what point in the quilt-making does a sewing machine become essential, if at all? Thanks!
Absolutely! Quilts were made long before we had sewing machines.
If you really like geometric patterns, you should probably invest in a rotary cutter, self-healing cutting mat and a plastic ruler, so that your squares are, well, square. These can be easily found at Joann's, Walmart, Hancock Fabric, Hobby Lobby, etc. Sign up for their mailer and use a coupon! all of those stores offer 40% off coupons.
The key to an even geometric quilt is uniform seam allowances. On a machine a 1/4" seam allowance is normally achieved using special feet that measure for you. If you have a good eye, you can freehand it. If not, you can use a dressmaker's pencil to draw your 1/4" mark, and simply backstitch along that line! You can finger-press or iron your pieces, and for longer seams you'll probably want to use pins.
When you're ready to batt and finish your quilt, you still don't need a machine. Just cut the batting and backing to fit, and sew it most of the way around the edge then turn it inside-out like a pillowcase, then finish the edge where you turned it. Then, to keep the batting in place, I recommend using embroidery floss tied at 4-6" intervals. That will keep it from shifting as it gets used.
Most importantly, have fun with it!
