Meet Libs and get an overview of what you'll need to get started quilting.
Libs goes over all the components of a quilt.
Get started with designing your quilt and preparing fabric for it.
Make friends with the quarter-inch seam as you learn to create quilt blocks.
Continue creating your quilt top as you put blocks together to form rows.
Quilting requires precision, but if you make a mistake, you can fix it!
Put your rows of blocks together to assemble you quilt top.
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 means putting together the back, batting and top to create a quilt "sandwich" ready for stitching together. Learn some of the methods.
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.
The binding around your quilt will hide all of the raw edges of fabric. Learn how to apply it.
Finishing up your binding with a tidy seam is a little fiddly, but Libs will walk you through it.
Finish your quilt like a pro with Lib's help. Congratulations! You've completed your first quilt.
