The correct answer is quilting.
Quilting is a modern trend that has increased interest in and purchase of home sewing machines. Quilting involves sewing multiple layers of fabric together to create a thicker padded material. It has gained popularity as a form of artistic expression and has also become a practical way to create warm and cozy blankets. Quilting requires a sewing machine that can handle thicker fabrics and multiple layers, which has led to an increase in the purchase of home sewing machines specifically designed for quilting. While fabric painting, lacemaking, and weaving are also creative textile-based hobbies, they do not necessarily require the use of a sewing machine.
