Welcome
We are dedicated to
Teaching the World to Quilt!
We feature FREE videos with step-by-step instructions, text transcripts and FREE patterns in PDF format.
- You may choose to focus on one skill at a time (click on Beginner Basics) or “jump right in” with a full size quilt (click on Quilting Classes).
- We also have small quilting projects where a beginner can “practice” piecing techniques before conquering larger ventures (click on Quick Quilts and/or Small Projects).
- Check out our Encyclopedia (a.k.a. “Quiltapedia”) where you’ll find photos and videos for most entries.
- Last but not least, don’t forget to browse our Threadhead Gallery filled with completed quilts and a link to directions for posting your own creations.

Hello Stephanie! Thanks for visiting LearnHowToQuilt.com. Let us know if you have any questions/suggestions. Happy Quilting!
Love this site !! I saw your blooming 9 patch and gathered all my fabric exited to try . I had one fabric that was striped , oh my goodness I’m having a time with the direction to put them together !! Maybe put a note about not using directional fabric !! Hope I can figure it all out ! I’m pulling my hair out ! If you can help me in any way I would welcome your suggestions! Thx 🙏🏽 😃
Hello! Thanks for your suggestion. I’ll add that to supply list. I’ve sent you an email with some suggestions. If you visit our gallery and look for Dad’s Blooming Nine Patch, you’ll see a quilt with 2 directional patterns. They aren’t stripes but they do create the same issue. I sent you an email with suggestions – mainly turning all the stripes in the same direction. Hope this helps. Looking forward to hearing/seeing your finished quilt. Thanks again for pointing out a potential problem.
I love your method and teaching skills. I would love your free pattern!
