MAKE: Ahead of the Curve

We’re talking about sewing curves this month, starting with today’s episode of MAKE with Teresa Coates. I’ve long been a fan of curved blocks, but I’ll admit that they intimidated me at first. In hopes that I can get you to love curves, too, I’ve gathered tips, patterns and tutorials to help you out.

In today’s episode I showed how to go big with your curves and worked our way down to the itty bitty ones. We talked about glue basting, using templates and how to sew your blocks together to create dynamic quilts with a single type of quilt block. Watch it now…

Be sure to watch the full episode of MAKE with Teresa Coates: Get Ahead of the Curve and check out these blog posts for additional info and links:

Curves: To Baste or Not to Baste

Curves: Which Ruler for What

And to get you started, I made a simple pattern and template for you to try your hand at sewing curves. I know with a little practice, you’ll get the hang of it! A whole new world of quiltmaking will open up to you!
