Quilting - quilting (English spelling)

Quilting is a technique in which cotton, soft feathers, or wool is sewn between the outer and lining fabrics to create a raised pattern. There are three types of quilting: English quilting, in which the entire pattern is raised, Italian quilting, in which wool is sewn into only parts of the pattern, and American quilting, in which a design is created using appliqué and then quilted.
