Learn Patchwork - and Get the Basics Right

A self-paced Nine Patch cushion course for anyone who's started patchwork but still feels unsure about cutting accurately, sewing a quarter-inch seam or getting their pieces to line up.

Online course • £30 one-off payment • Instant Access
You may already have watched tutorials, bought a ruler or even made a few blocks - and you still wonder why some turn out wonky or won't quite line up.
 
This course takes you carefully through the foundations so you can see exactly what to do, understand what causes common mistakes and finish a Nine Patch cushion with more confidence in your cutting, seams and matching.
  •  Clear, close up, step-by-step video lessons so you can see exactly what to do at each stage
  •  Ideal if you're new to patchwork or you've already had a go but the basics still feel a bit hit-and-miss
  •  Tutor support when you need it so you can ask questions and get help if something doesn't look right.
