Quilting is the process of joining a minimum of three layers of fabric
together either through stitching manually using a needle and thread, or
mechanically with a sewing machine or specialised longarm quilting
system. An array of stitches is passed through all layers of the fabric
to create a three-dimensional padded surface. The three layers are
typically referred to as the top fabric or quilt top, batting or
insulating material, and the backing.
