Introductory Message
Welcome TLE/TVL – HE (Handicraft-Needlecraft)!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Aklan and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western Visayas through
the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is developed to
guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible adults) in helping
the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The TLE/TVL - HE (Handicraft – Needlecraft) Activity Sheet will help you

facilitate the teaching-learning activities specified in each Most Essential Learning
Competency (MELC) with minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and
learner. This will be made available to the learners with the references/links to ease
the independent learning.

For the learner:

The TLE/TVL - HE (Handicraft – Needlecraft) Activity Sheet is developed

to help you continue learning even if you are not in school. This learning material
provides you with meaningful and engaging activities for independent learning. Being
an active learner carefully read and understands the instructions then perform the
activities and answer the assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the
agreed schedule

1.1 Discuss the overview of Quilting.
1.2 Demonstrate proper use of tools and materials in Quilting.

II.Background Information for Learners

QUILTING AS A TECHNIQUE

Overview
Quilting offers good result to an individual either financial or physical. The
University of Glasgow interviewed quilters and found the activity helped their
cognitive, creative and emotional well-being, particularly among older people. It
improves dexterity in fingers, exercises shoulders & arms, helps maintain hand/eye
coordination, and teaches imaginative use of color to produce more attractive quilted
articles.
This lesson covers the learning competencies aiming to develop and enhance
the skill, knowledge and attitude of learners towards drafting project plans, making of
quilted articles with package accompanied by project plan.

 QUILTING: A BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Quilting is the process of creating a quilt or sewing of two or more layers of
material together to make a thicker padded material with a soft substance or
wadding between them. It is a handwork which makes use of geometric designs.
These designs are formed by combining colors, lines and shapes.
The word "quilt" comes from the Latin “culcita” meaning a large stuffed sack,
mattress or cushion. The earliest known quilted garment is depicted on the carved
ivory figure of a Pharaoh of the Egyptian First Dynasty, about 3400 B.C. It has been
used for clothing and furnishings scattered throughout the world thousands of years
before.
In Europe, quilting has been part of the needlework tradition and has been
one of their favorite activity at home especially during winter. Quilted articles lined
with foam such as comforter and blankets are very useful during winter because of
their thickness and extra warmth that it gives. Quilting can be done by hand, by
sewing machine, or by a specialist long arm quilting system. A quilter is the name
given to someone who works at quilting.

QUILTING TOOLS AND MATERIALS

A. Design Aids
Tools, materials and equipment to be used in quilting may vary depending on the
project design you want and the transfer method it requires. To come up with a
better result, you should be familiar and oriented on these tools, materials and
equipments especially their specific functions and uses.
The following are hints that will help you with regard to designs:
1. Commercial stencil template or perforated
pattern. A fast and easy way of producing a
quilt design. Templates come in a great
variety of shapes and sizes. Solid or window
templates are made of metal and transparent
plastic. However, you can make your own if
you want to.
2. Graphing paper. Useful for planning or
sketching a design to scale.

2
3. Dressmaker’s carbon paper and tracing paper. These are very good
materials for transferring the design.

4. The ruler or yardstick. Useful for marking

straight line designs and as a measuring device.

5. A compass or a round object. It can be

used for drawing curves.

6. A pencil or a dressmaker’s/tailor’s chalk. It

is used to mark directly on fabric.

7. Pounce. It is a special powder used for

temporary markings with perforated patterns.

3
B. Tools and Materials for Piercing and Quilting

1. Needles. These are used for piercing and

quilting. A “between” needle is considered best in
piercing.

2. Pins. These are the plastic headed pins which

are very sharp and good for piercing straight
through the material.

3. Scissors. They come in a wide variety of

shapes and sizes.

C. Tools for Marking

1. Ruler. This is a long, transparent tool

that is best when marking fabrics.

4
2. Pencils. There are varieties of marking pencils from
soft lead to water soluble ones that are
available in the market.

3. Thimble. Make it a habit to use this metal,

plastic or leather device on the middle finger
to prevent being pierced by the needle.

4. Wax. This is ideal for strengthening the thread and

making it much easier to pull through the fabric.

5. Frames and hoops. These are used to hold

the three layers of materials together to prevent from budging
up of underneath layers. A quilting hoop is deeper
in order to accommodate the three layers of top,
battling and backing.

6. Fabrics used in quilting. The best fabric to start with

is a firmly woven, lightweight, pure cotton, although
a number of polyester cotton blends are quite
manageable and easy to handle.

5
 Quilting is classified as to type of wadding and the technique used to sew it in
place. For a beginner in quilting, refrain from using fabrics which are difficult to
handle such as silk, velvet or wool.
