This course is for you if you are just starting on your quilting journey or you want to reinforce the fundamentals. Quilting Quickstart consists of three modules:

Let’s get you off to a good start on your quilting journey. Learn to quilt and make a small project.
Quarter Inch Seam Boss
Sewing with a quarter inch seam is very important in quilting. Using this seam provides stability to your blocks.
In this class you can expect to learn: how to sew a quarter inch seam, tools you can use to be more consistent and how to troubleshoot problems with your seams.
Pressing for Success
Did you know that ironing is not the same thing as pressing? Pressing your seams makes a huge difference in the construction of your quilt.
In this course, learn the reasons why pressing is preferred in quilting, along with the tools and techniques you can use to avoid problems like skewed blocks.
Beyond the Basics
Sewing Curves Without Swearing
Sewing curves can definitely end with swear words being spoken. Let me help you remain calm and create beautiful curved blocks instead.
In this class you will learn: how to create templates, cut out the shapes, and the tools you can use to help you have a far less stressful time.
Sewing Machine Tantrums and How to Fix Them
When your sewing machine throws a tantrum it’s hard not to throw one of your own.
In this course I share tips on how to troubleshoot, make adjustments and get back to sewing now.

Hi, I’m Lynda
I am a Canadian quilter from Toronto, Ontario. I have been quilting for 22 years and I’m also a wife, dog mom and entrepreneur.
I was inspired to learn to quilt because my mother-in-law was a quilter. Having grown up without crafting, I found her quilts fascinating and signed up for a beginner quilting class. Many classes and a few hundred projects later, here I am, ready to teach you how to quilt or expand your quilting skill set.
