6 Tips for Quilting Success!

Here are some best practices for pattern making; it's all about setting yourself up for successful, happy quilting!

Step 1: If there is a free pattern that comes with your tool - make the free pattern first!

  • Make the free pattern that came in the packaging of your ruler (QCR and/or QCR Mini). You can also access these free runner patterns by clicking here (QCR) and here (QCR Mini). 
  • Read the whole pattern from beginning to end
  • Watch the YouTube video Urban Runner or Mini Runner. You can find them here:  
  • Play around with your blocks! Get those creative juices flowing with a unique layout or odd colors that you normally wouldn’t put together. Of course, you can always make the pattern exactly how it is displayed, or you can create something unique to you - do what works for YOUR creativity! 
  •  

     

     

    Step 2: Read the WHOLE pattern from the first word to the last BEFORE you cut your fabric! 

      

    Step 3: If There is a Youtube video for the specific pattern you're making, watch it! Then watch it again :)
