Design your own quilt template and learn how to sew a quilt.

Design your own quilt template and learn how to sew a quilt.

The process of quilting with your own design is very exiting and rewarding, once you experience how to create different designs with limited colour and prints of fabric. In this sewing course you will draw your own templates and learn how to sew fabric pieces onto the templates, to create your own unique design. You will make a small sample quilt of 4 blocks to learn all the steps of how to sew a quilt. Start by drawing the template on paper, then you have to cut your fabric pieces and learn this unique template method of sewing the fabric pieces onto the templates.  After finishing the sewing of the blocks, you have to add batting and backing to the quilt blocks. Then sew free motion stitching on all the blocks and learn how to attach the blocks with the binding.  After pinning the binding to the corners and the rest of the edges, you will finish off the quilt binding edge by sewing it all around. The template in this course can be altered in so many ways, that you can practice to create and sew a different and unique design quilt, and then be able to call it your own masterpiece.
