Quilting: What You Really Need to Get Started

You want to learn to quilt. The internet wants to sell you 47 things. Most, you don’t need. Some, you don’t need for a long time. And nobody tells you which seven actually matter.

I made the list I wish I’d had when I started.

It’s a one-page PDF with the seven essentials, what each one does, and the small tips most teachers skip. Plus my best advice for new quilters, sent straight to your inbox.

Print it, take it to the quilt shop, and stop second-guessing your shopping basket.

Hi, I'm Joni.

I'm the quilt pattern designer and free motion quilting teacher behind For the Love of Thread. I help quilters of every level make and finish quilts they’re proud of, in plain language and baby steps. And I'm the only one who walks you from the first cut to the final stitch of binding. My belief: any quilter can quilt any quilt on any sewing machine.
