Abstract: Article, such as quilted construction, and methods of making the same are described. A quilted construction may comprise a first woven sheet, a second woven sheet, a series of stitching, a reinforcing body, and a thermally insulating filler. The first woven sheet may be coupled to the second woven sheet via a series of stitching to define one or more chambers. The reinforcing body may have a figure-eight form and may be disposed between the first woven sheet and second woven sheet such that a crossover of the figure-eight form is aligned with the series of stitching. The thermal insulating filler may be disposed within the one or more chambers.

Abstract: An alternate quilting method and an apparatus manufactured by applying the alternate quilting method. Multiple layers may be arranged in layer sets, the layers of each layer set may be quilt-stitched to each other, and as a result, stitches may be formed. A space between the layers of each layer set may be filled with a thermal insulation material. The layer sets may be offset with respect to each other, in order for the stitches of one layer set to be blocked by the area of another layer set abundant with the insulation material, the objective of which may be to block flow of cold air through the alternate quilting construction.
