Dear Quilting Superstar,
Quilting is a beautiful and sometimes intimidating art form. But once you have the building blocks in your toolbox, you’ll be amazed at how easily your projects come together. In Our Favorite Quilting Tips And Tricks from We Like Quilting, we share simple essentials all quilters should have, plus tips for quilters ready for a new creative challenge!
Beginner-Friendly Quilting Tips
No matter the size of your project, you’ll have to stitch all your layers together. We review the process in Beginner Quilting Basics: How to Make a Quilt Sandwich. You get step-by-step instructions, with pictures to guide you. One thing that can really stress out quilters is when it’s time to clean their quilt. Don’t stress! Read 2 Simple Ways to Wash Your Quilts and you’ll be confidently cleaning your quilt in no time!
One of our all-time favorite quilt blocks is the Nine Patch Block. Read Patchwork Perfection: How to Make a Nine Patch Block to see how easy this pattern is to put together, and how easily you can adapt this style in your favorite colors. It’s so flexible! There’s one task that quilters either look forward to or simply dread: binding. Discover the technique that works best for you in Three Simple Methods to Bind and Finish a Quilt Top.
