Amish Handmade Quilt Facts

The term handmade is commonly utilized to define crafts produced by a craftsman in contrast to a manufacturing facility. Each handmade quilt is one-of-a-kind because it is not mass-produced. However, not all the sewing in a handmade quilt is done by hand. Just as the woodcrafter utilizes mechanical tools to create his workmanship, our seamstresses use numerous tools to craft these quilts. The seamstress cuts her pieces with a rotating blade knife and also stitch them together on the stitching machine. The quilter functions with just needle, thread, and thimble to quilt thousands of little stitches throughout the quilt. Handmade is a gift: it is the gift of time and talent to create a thing uniquely for you.
