Why Choose the Railfence Cushion Course?
Building on the skills and foundations laid in my popular Nine Patch cushion course, the Railfence Cushion Course is the perfect next step on your quilting journey.
 

This course is tailored specifically to extend your basic skills and aims to gently guide you through new techniques, ensuring you gain confidence and skill at a comfortable pace.

"As a complete beginner I was a little apprehensive on the course especially having it online, a first for me. I can say without a doubt that I needn't have worried at all. The course was brilliant, I learned such a lot.

Kim is a great teacher, very supportive and explains really well all the tricks and techniques you need. A great course to start with if you are new to patchwork and quilting. It also really helped me feel more confident about using my sewing machine."

Who Is This Course For?
This course is ideal for beginners who are already familiar with the basics of measuring, cutting, and sewing a quarter-inch seam. If these terms are new to you, we recommend starting with our Nine Patch cushion course to build a solid foundation before progressing to the Railfence Cushion Course. This ensures that you are well-prepared to enjoy and succeed in creating your Railfence cushion.
Who Isn't This Course For?
If you are already proficient in measuring, cutting, stitching a quarter-inch seam, and have some basic experience in patchwork and quilting, this course might not be challenging enough for you. It is tailored specifically for those looking to enhance their basic skills and delve a little deeper into the art of patchwork.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I'm a complete beginner. Will I be able to follow along?
 

A: Absolutely! This course is designed with beginners in mind. Each step is broken down into clear, manageable pieces, ensuring you understand every step of the process. However, if you're brand new to patchwork and quilting, then take my Nine Patch cushion course first which will set you up with all your essential basic skills. Then you can come straight on to do this course.

Q: What materials will I need?
 
A: As soon as you've registered, you'll receive a full fabric and equipment list which will be easy to find in your local quilt store or online.
Q: I'm short of time, will I be able to complete this course?
 
A: Yes, you will. Each lesson has been recorded as a very short video so you will be able to do a little bit at a time in the few minutes that you have spare. You may find, though, that you get so absorbed and addicted to what you're doing that you carry on until you've finished.
Q: What if I get stuck on something or need to ask a question?
 
A: Under every video there is a link to your private student group. Make sure you have joined that when you initially register, then any time you have a question all you have to do is pop in there to ask. I aim to get back to everyone within 24 hours allowing for different time zones and 'life'.
Q: How long do I have access to the course?
 
A: Once enrolled, the course is yours indefinitely. Revisit lessons as often as you like, at no extra cost.
Q: Can I take this course if I've not done the Nine Patch cushion course?
 
A: While the Nine Patch course lays a great foundation, it's not a prerequisite if you already know the basics of measuring, cutting, and sewing a quarter-inch seam.
Q: Is there a monthly fee?
 
A: No, once you've paid the £35, that's it.
Q: How soon will I be able to start the course?
 
A: You will have access to the full course immediately as soon as you have registered.
Q: How long will it take me to complete this course?
 
A: Most of my students complete both cushions in this course over a couple of weekends. If you have an empty diary, then you could make both of these cushions over a weekend. If you want to take longer to fit it into your life, then that's fine too.

About Your Tutor
Hi! I'm Kim. I'm a mum to two teenagers, wife to Nige (second time for both of us), a cat lover, love pottering in our garden and enjoy country walks on blustery autumn days and then sitting by the fire with tea and cake when we get home.
I've been sewing for well over 40 years and when I finally got through that first patchwork and quilting course, I discovered that I had a talent for this hobby.
 

I found the place where I belonged most in the world, and I left my old marketing career (where to be honest, I never felt that I belonged and always felt a bit of a fraud) to begin a completely new career in patchwork and quilting.

I went on to complete and pass my City & Guilds Level 3 in Patchwork and Quilting (Level 4 is next up), I used to have a physical shop pre-Covid and I now specialise in teaching and giving confidence to beginners in sewing, patchwork and quilting.

I've been where you are now, and I will never forget how I felt, which is why I don't want you to feel that way. It's why I developed my unique four step programme to take you from compete beginner to confident quilter in a few short months with no overwhelm or confusion at any step along the way.

I've taught LOADS of students in-person and I am now delighted to teach students all over the world with my specially developed and created online programme, with all the care and attention, tips and tricks I have shared with my students over the years.

Let your quilting story begin with a stitch, and let it unfold into a tapestry of cherished moments and beautiful creations.

With you every stitch of the way,
Kim xx
