Quilt-As-You-Go Blocks

22:01

Meet Wendi Gratz and learn the benefits of quilt-as-you-go and why it's the perfect choice for your appliqué quilts. Then, stay tuned as Wendi shares tips for choosing fabric that breathes life into your monsters. You'll finish this lesson by creating a fun quilt-as-you-go block.

Making Monsters

20:45

Pick the right fusible for your project and start preparing your monster pieces. Wendi then moves on to steps for safely and securely fusing your monster onto the block. You'll even learn how to take control of your topstitching for smooth outlines around your monsters.

Pieced QAYG

13:11

Don't camouflage that cute little monster! Wendi goes deeper into the world of fabric, for smart choices that won't hide your work. Want to speed up your strip piecing? Try your hand at a strip-pieced quilt-as-you-go block, before you discover how to create a log-cabin design in this speedy style.

3-D Effects

20:20

Give your monsters more expression and dimension with any of three different eyeball variations. And for a playful layer in your blocks, Wendi demonstrates how to create flappy pieces such as tongues. The lesson ends with techniques for pieces that make perfect arms or hair; you'll even learn how to make curly hair!

Unique Fabrics

14:49

Add specialty fabrics to your appliqué for a unique look and feel! Wendi then helps you safely incorporate fur and fleece without fusible adhesives. Plus, find out how to stabilize and incorporate delicate fabrics such as satin and lamé without all the fuss.

Sashing & Finishing

21:36

Create quick quilted sashing strips to use when joining your blocks. Then, tackle a faux sashing alternative that frames blocks beautifully, before Wendi moves on to picking the perfect backing. Class ends with a fun sashing technique that makes it look like your monsters are escaping from their blocks!

And finally, each Class Session has a brief written summary of the content in that Session, including the length of each Session video. You will get a good feel for the Class content by reviewing these resources.

Do I have to be a Member of Craftsy to purchase a Class?

No you don’t. While Premium Members will receive regular offers for special deals on Craftsy content, Classes are not reserved exclusively for Members. If you buy a Class as a non-member, we’re sure you’d also enjoy having access to our full library of great projects and articles as a Member, so give it a try.

Is there a limit on the times I can view my Class?

No. Your access never expires. You can view any Class you purchase as many times as you want, whenever you want.

Can I view a Class on my tablet device or mobile phone?

How does the Class Q&A Resource benefit work?

Once you purchase any Class, within the Class viewing page, you’ll have access to post a question, comment or tip in the Class Discussions.

By simply clicking on the icon/link for any PDF Download that is included with a Class, you can print that document on your own printer or simply view the contents on your computer/mobile device.

Are there any system requirements to view the Class video content?

Your Class video content is best when viewed on a computer manufactured in the past couple of years with a good broadband Internet connection (not dialup). We also highly recommend using the latest version of Firefox, Safari, or Chrome as your Internet Browser, though recent versions of Internet Explorer will work as well. The recommended screen resolution is 1024 x 768 or larger.
