Now you
can learn to quilt in the comfort of your own home at
your own pace
I am busy
planning and preparing loads of great quilting
information for all you quilters. I am dividing it up
into easy weekly classes that you can subscribe to
through QuiltCetera’s
Yahoo Group.
As I come up with the list of topics, my husband suggested that I share it with the group.
Of course, he always has great ideas! This gives all the members an outline of what to expect and something to look forward to. We are starting with absolute basics to cover all bases. If you are a more experienced quilter, then consider this a review!
◦ Quilting Basics Tutorials
◦ Choosing a Quilting Pattern
◦ Selecting Fabrics for your Project
◦ What type of thread to use
◦ Tools: rotary cutter, ruler and cutting mat
◦ Sewing Machine and attachments
◦ Squaring Fabric
◦ Cutting Fabric including cross cutting
◦ Cross cutting fabric which is already sewn
◦ What is a scant quarter inch seam allowance and how to measure
◦ Chain piecing
◦ Corners and points
◦ Attacing sashing and borders
◦ Sandwiching quilts
◦ Basting quilts pin method vs stitching method
◦ Machine quilting on a domestic machine
◦ Cutting binding strips
◦ Joining binding strips
◦ Attaching binding
Please let us know what you think. Have we missed any steps, or left out something
that you would like to learn?
Hopefully this will create a solid foundation for quilters who are just starting out or
have limited experience.
Are you looking for simple beginner projects to get started quilting? Want to learn to make a baby quilt or maybe a table runner. What ever it is you would like to learn, I would be more than happy to create a tutorial for you.
Simply join in by
subscribing to our quilting group and ask me what ever you like
about quilting. If you are lucky, your suggestion
may even be featured here on our blog.
