Well... You've come to the right place my friend, as this is all possible for you inside this learn to quilt series.
Asking all the same questions.. and feeling overwhelmed and frustrated as nothing "seamed" to be lining up or really knowing what to do next or even how!! I remember the exact moment I realized there had to be a better way. I was in our spare bedroom, sitting in front of a borrowed sewing machine (Mamans') attempting to freemotion quilt my first top with the walking foot .. you know that big cluncky white foot that's meant for straight lines... Yaaa that one! Needless to say, it was not the most "funest" or "bestest" experience!! I felt so discouraged with all the time and effort I put into this quilt, only to be "not so happy" with the end result! I realized then, the fastest and easiest way to create the quilts I imagined would be to learn from someone who had already experienced all the "trials & errors" ... This is the course I wish I had when I first started!!
Anytime we learn something new, I believe it's important to have real time answers to all your questions when you need it! Whether it be during our weekly live Q&A or posting them in our community, you have access to me so I can help you overcome any challenge when you need it!
So much learning happens here, not only from having your questions answered, but also from the questions of others!
Learning to quilt is a journey and travelling it together is so valuable and let's face it ...way more fun! ;)
Our private Facebook community allows you to get to know and share your work with both alumni and your fellow quilters so you never feel alone as you learn and grow together.
I get it, we all have something, whether it's a 9to5, shift work, kiddos or looking after a loved, the vidoe lessons are pre-recorded, so you can watch at your own pace whenever it best suits you! Plus, once you enroll, you have 24/7 forever access, to watch and rewatch whenever you want as often as you need.
How do we make the first cut? Where do we start? How does this ruler & rotary cutter work? What is the crossgrain, the lengthwise grain & bias..what? Why is the fabric folded? How do we use our tools? All this and more is addressed here in our 1st module. We'll get cozy with our Rotary Cutter, Mat & Ruler as we learn to prepare our fabrics.
Ever wonder how quilters create different shapes with their fabrics? How do the intersections nest? What's nesting? Why all the pins or not? How do you achieve sharp points? What's the difference between pressing and ironing? Why does it matter? We'll dive deep into successful patchwork with our 1/4" foot.
How do we get those borders to lay flat? How do we cut those borders? Will they need to be pieced? All secrets revealed for beautiful borders
Your top is complete.. now what? Piecing, that was only part 1 of the process. How to prepare your layers. What's a "sandwich"? What do you need? What product to use and how?
Preparing our layers
Batting options
Backing options
Options for layering
"Sandwiching” process
Where to begin? What thread to choose? Why are there loops on the bottom? What is tension? How does it work? What design to choose? So many choices to think about!!! This will all be broken down in easy manageable information to cut the overwhelm.
Yay, we're almost there!! How to add all the finishing touches so you can finally call it a quilt?!?
