When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

le quilting (matelassage)

"Le matelassage ( ou quilting) est connu depuis des siècles en ce qui concerne l'habillement. Il était utilisé pour solidifier les tissus afin qu'ils ne s'usent pas trop vite ainsi que pour bénéficier de la chaleur au maximum.

Pour réaliser de beaux motifs, il faut de la pratique. Mais vous trouverez votre rythme au fur et à mesure et par conséquent vous allez acquérir une certaine habilité.
Le matelassage à la main est le plus répandu. Mais il va s'en dire que certaines personnes préfèrent le faire à la machine à coudre. A vous d'essayer les deux méthodes et de choisir.

Technique :

Si votre patchwork a été rangé trop longtemps. Donnez-lui un petit coup de fer à repasser pour enlever les plis."
