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 (Beginner Basics) or “jump right in” with a full size quilt (Quilting Classes).
- Looking for beginner block patterns? Check out our One Block Wonders section where you will find free patterns/tutorials.
- We also have small quilting projects where a beginner can “practice” piecing techniques before conquering larger ventures (Quick Quilts and 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 Gallery filled with completed quilts and a link to directions for posting your own creations.
Hope you learn to enjoy quilting as much as we do!
Creating a Pattern
Have a beautiful quilt that you adore but no pattern? Find out how to produce patterns on your own.
Sewing Seams
Most quilt patterns require a ¼” seam allowance. Follow our tips and you’ll be sewing an accurate ¼” in no time! You will also learn how to chain piece to save time and help with your accuracy. Other videos feature some “tricks” to make matching seams and partial seams easier to sew.
Finishing the Quilt
You are finished with layering your quilt …. now what? Learn the pros and cons about the different quilting techniques. Other videos show how to make binding and add it to your quilt. Find out how to add a “sleeve” and a label to finish off your quilt.
