Judging will be based on how well the artwork enhances the garment or article. 13. Professionally Quilted quilts will be judged only the piecing or appliquéing only, not the quilting. EXHIBITION TIPS 1. Needlework will be judged with regard to beauty, degree of perfection, amount of work and suitability for the purpose for which it was intended. 2. Exhibits will be disqualified if not freshly laundered or cleaned before entering. 3. Linens should be blocked and starched as appropriate. 4. Knit and crocheted articles MUST BE BLOCKED and show ready. 5. Pictures framed must be evenly stretched with a neatly finished back. These need not be professionally done. 6. Exhibitors have the option of using glass or not using glass when they frame their picture. 7. Excellence in sewing is determined in part by width and evenness in size of seams, hems, tacks, bands and gathers. Stitches should be fastened, basting removed, and everything neatly finished. In appearance, the work should be neat, clean and pressed with the material suitable for the garment. 8. Pillow stuffing and/or forms must fill out the corners of the fabric. 9. Rugs should be neatly finished. Latch hook rugs should have raw edges worked into back of design. 10. A quilt consists of top, batting and backing, all of which are either machine quilted, tied, or hand quilted. A miniature consists of very small pieces. This finished size if the quilt does not matter. DEFINITION Tailoring is the art of sewing techniques to build and mold permanent shape into a garment. It is this permanent shape and the precision of the sewing techniques that are characteristic of tailoring, whether done by traditional methods or time saving methods. The end result is a tailored garment with a firm, smooth look and well-defined outline.
