Quilting Fundamentals 2022
March 1, 2022 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm CST
$99.00
Are you a beginning quiltmaker? Or maybe you’ve been quilting for years — but are self taught and keep telling yourself – there has to be an easier way to do this! Either way — this class series is for you!
Packed with skills, techniques, tips and more… I’ll take you from start (picking fabrics) to finish (binding!!) and everything in-between.
We will make a number of sampler blocks that you can join together to create a table runner, a wall quilt — or go crazy and make lots of blocks for a bed quilt! With the skills you learn in this series — there won’t be a pattern you will pick up that you won’t know how to approach — and have the skills to give it a go!
You’ll learn all of these skills in this class:
- proper rotary cutting technique
- basic patchwork – 1/4″ seam accuracy
- creating half and quarter square triangles (any size!)
- creating templates
- squaring up blocks
- proper pressing technique
- applique (freezer paper, fusible, reverse, needleturn, machine)
- paper piecing – both Foundation and English!
- complex centers (8 points coming together!)
- Y-Seams / Mitered Corners
- curved piecing
- partial seam technique
- sashing, cornerstones and borders
- piping and flanges
- binding
All patterns will be provided (lots of variety — pick the block(s) you wish to make!) at the end of the course I’ll show you how to assemble your favorite blocks into a keepsake sampler quit. No one else will have one like yours!
All classes will on Tuesdays from 4:00 – 5:30 PM CST (we might occasionally run a little long — we’ll play it by ear!)
March 1, 8, 15, 22, and April 5 and April 12
We’ll give you a little time to sew the number of blocks you want to make, and play with your final layout.
Then we’ll meet one last time on April 26th — for binding and finishing!
Zoom classes are recorded — so if you miss a live session — or wish to re-watch a skill or technique — it’s only a click away!
(and you can review the classes for months after the live classes have ended!)
Don’t Take My Word For It…
A class like this was the door that opened up the world of quilting for me. I wanted to create a similar experience for others. I think I’ve succeeded, read what others have said about this class here and here.

Applique the Quiltworx Way Class
I took the class to learn a applique technique that did not utilize fusible. I did not expect to learn how to use tools in new innovation ways. This was a WONDERFUL class. Well worth the price!!
Very thorough and knowledgeable teacher!
Here we are in a time when we can’t meet in person and there is a learning curve for everyone, but Kathy took it on and was able to succeed. I know she will see everyone through in completing their various projects. Kathy obviously is very comfortable teaching any class. Suggestions for Zoom would be to pre-record just the instructions for the day, and then take questions and open up for sewing, where appropriate. I really appreciate the instructions in the separate videos that were given after the fact. I would pay for classes that aren’t interactive, but are just the recordings. I’m sure I will take part in future classes.
Hands down the best Quiltworx class I have ever taken!
