Introduction & Supplies Overview

Meet Libs and get an overview of what you’ll need to get started quilting.

Anatomy of a Quilt

Libs goes over all the components of a quilt.

Designing, Cutting & Measuring

Get started with designing your quilt and preparing fabric for it.

Piecing Your Quilt Top

Make friends with the quarter-inch seam as you learn to create quilt blocks.

More Piecing

Continue creating your quilt top as you put blocks together to form rows.

Fixing Mistakes

Quilting requires precision, but if you make a mistake, you can fix it!

Attaching Rows

Put your rows of blocks together to assemble you quilt top.

Making the Back

The back of a quit can be one solid piece of fabric or pieced together like the front. Libs shows you the simplest version.

Basting Your Quilt

Basting your quilt means putting together the back, batting and top to create a quilt “sandwich” ready for stitching together. Learn some of the methods.

Quilting

Quilting all the layers of your quilt together can be done with simple straight lines or super-fancy swirls and feathers. Libs shows how to start simply.

Attaching the Binding

The binding around your quilt will hide all of the raw edges of fabric. Learn how to apply it.

Attaching the Ends

Finishing up your binding with a tidy seam is a little fiddly, but Libs will walk you through it.

Back Binding

Finish your quilt like a pro with Lib’s help. Congratulations! You’ve completed your first quilt.
