Begginars Quilting
Begginars quilting is a satisfying and very rewarding hobby. There's no need for getting fancy with your creative patterns. You must start out small and learn the basics of begginars quilting. You can even start with only two pieces of fabric that require no cutting and piece sewing. This is a good way to start begginars quilting. Take two similar sized pieces of cloth fabric, put your batting in and sew. Use this easy project to try different techniques. The more you practise the more your skills will improve. You will not be begginars quilting for long. Before you know it, you will easily move on to creating complex pieces.
The easiest pattern for begginars quilting is the one that you only use two pieces of fabric for. The following pattern will take you through the steps to make your very first quilt. Follow these instructions and soon you will be enjoying your own handmade quilt. You will need to purchase two yards of fabric. You will need at least one yard of the same design in one whole piece. One is for the top and the other is for the bottom piece. You will also need to get a piece of batting that is the same size as the fabric. Make sure each piece is the same length and width. After you have found your fabric, wash the pieces. This will allow for shrinkage of both begginars quilting pieces to be even.
You will need to put your two pieces of fabric together with the right side of the fabric facing each other for this begginars quilting project. Place your batting on the bottom of the pile and start sewing. You will need to sew a seam around three complete sides and about ¾ of the last side. You can use any seam allowance you want but, it will need to be the same around the whole begginars quilting piece. After you have finished the sewing, you will turn your pieces out and thru the hole. The batting should now be inside the two other pieces. You will need to make sure that it went through all of your fabric. If you need to make corrections, turn inside out again and stitch then, turn it again. Once you have satisfactory stitched the fabric, you will need to close the hole on the fourth side. Hand-stitch this hole closed. Once you have finished the stitching, you will need to iron the begginars quilting piece to ensure that the batting and fabric are all flat and uniform. Trim any extra fabric around the trim. Congratulations you have just finished your first begginars quilting project.
