More Details...
Follow along with our Guide To Quilting course as we talk you through the basics you need to know to get started. Including what fabrics to use, what tools you will need, how to choose colours and prints and how to use a rotary cutter safely. Then, once you are ready, we will take you through 4 simple but very impactful patchwork blocks.
Each block is broken down into simple bite-sized lessons to make it really easy for you, covering the essential steps of cutting, sewing, pressing and trimming. Take your time as we show you each step in depth, gaining confidence with every block. Either use the patchwork blocks to make individual mini quilts, practicing each step along the way, or dive straight into making a full size quilt. Mix and match the blocks into any design you wish, creating your own unique quilt that we know you will love.
Once all your blocks are sewn, we’ll show you how to complete the patchwork top by adding sashing and borders. An easy way to take your small blocks and grow them into a much larger quilt!
Finishing your quilt…
The final stages of making a quilt are often the most daunting and many a quilt has been abandoned at this point. But not with this quilting course! Because, after we’ve walked you through creating your quilt sandwich, we give you 5 different options of how to quilt your quilt – either with the sewing machine or by hand-sewing.
For that essential final step so you can finish all of your hard word off beautifully, we give you multiple options for binding your quilt, including how to make your own bias binding from scratch.
Now, get ready to fall in love with a new form of sewing that celebrates your uniqueness, quirkiness and creativity with this Guide To Quilting course!
