Quilting is the stitching which holds the three layers of the quilt 'sandwich' together while forming a decorative design. Quilting can be done either by hand or machine. Hand quilting is usually done in a quilting 'hoop' or on a quilting 'frame' using special needles, called 'betweens', and quilting thread. The stitches are usually executed with one hand; the other hand kept underneath the quilt to feel for the needle. 1 Free Motion Machine Quilting is a form of quilting done by the quilter without marking the quilt. 2  You just sit down with the quilt under the machine and doodle away! 3  Fill quilting fills in and flattens the background space while emphasizing the primary design. 'Freehand' or 'free motion' quilting is done with a 'darning foot'. Machine quilters will often match the threads to the fabric that they're quilting. Invisible monofilament thread is used when matching is not possible. The design that is created by either method is visible as a 'shadow line'.
