Quilting
At Michèle Lemaire we have developed since 1985 numerous techniques for the transformation of textile material. Amongst these we find the quilting of textile material. This technique is very commonly used in order to fabricate seat covers or wall ornaments. The quilting is particularly appreciated by the professionals of interior decoration and the hotel industry.

What is quilting ?
The quilting is a procedure that consists of stuffing a textile product, such as a seat or a cushion for example. This technique requires that several layers of textile material are superimposed, then held together by stitches or buttons. Then it suffices to insert a thickness of a material (wadding or polyurethane etc) between two pieces of textile material.
The different layers of textile material can be fixed either by stitching, or by buttons, both of which form a decorative pattern on the article. This technique allows a depth and form to the article in order to achieve more comfort or as with a cushion more volume.

The different types of quilting
There exist different types of quilting such as the original old quilting, the « capitonnage », the « boutis » and the « trapunto ». Even if these different techniques present certain similarities, the differences in terms of aestheticism are remarkable.
Generally we separate into two large types or families of quilting. The first consists of assembling three layers of textile material, to create designs by using overstitching. The second family consists of drawing the outlines of a pattern on two superimposed canvases. It only remains to stuff certain parts between the two canvases.
