Cut & Quilt 101- A Beginner's Guide to the Basics- Online Class

$65.00 USD

Feeling inspired to start quilting but not sure where to begin? Join Kate for this fun and approachable introduction to quilting basics. You’ll learn how to measure, cut, piece, and press a classic 9-patch block, then quilt and bind your finished piece.

This is a perfect project for brand-new quilters or anyone wanting a quick, creative refresher. By the end of class, you’ll have one or more 9-patch blocks that can become a mini quilt, pillow cover, or pincushion... your choice!

A detailed materials and tool list will be sent out after enrollment.

This class is perfect for the beginner that wants to get started with quilting, or for someone who wants to jump back in. These skills will build a solid foundation so you have confidence to branch out on your own 

Class Date: Saturday, January 24, 2026

Class Time: 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM (Pacific Time)/ 12 Noon- 7 PM (Eastern Time) with a break in the middle.

Please log on to Zoom 15 minutes before the class start time so everyone is ready to begin class promptly on the hour.

Class Fee: $65.00

Please note that class fees are non-refundable and non- discountable. However you will earn VIB Rewards Points on your purchase.

Students are encouraged to sew along with Kate as she demonstrates and works through the class project. Students can also just watch live and rewind and watch later. You'll be able to watch the replay anytime to continue working through the project. It's totally up to you! 

In class you will learn:

  1. How to select fabrics and understand color value and contrast

  2. Rotary cutting basics: tools, safety, and accuracy

  3. Piecing the 9-patch block with perfect seams

  4. Pressing techniques for flat, crisp results

  5. Straight-line quilting with your machine

  6. Making and attaching binding

  7. Options for finishing: pillow back, mini quilt, or pincushion

Please note: You should be familiar with your sewing machine, and it should be in good working order for class.

All Class Sales are final. This class is in Zoom format. Students will have access to the class recording after class ends, so if you are unable to attend the LIVE class (or you just want to watch and sew later), you may watch it at a later time and review it as often as needed. 

Please, the class link is for your personal use only. 

Zoom Class Guidelines.

We’re so excited to have you join Kate online! To make the most of our time together, please review these guidelines before class begins. A couple of weeks before class, Kate will send some class-specific details regarding Zoom. In the meantime here are some guidelines:

1. Preparing for Class

  • Download Zoom ahead of time and test your connection.
  • Update Zoom to the latest version for the best features.
  • Have your machine ready to go so you can sew along in class.
  • Keep basic sewing supplies handy.

2. Joining the Session

  • A Zoom Classroom link will be emailed to your email on file after enrollment. This is the link to use to enter class. Join class 15 minutes early so we can start on time.
  • Use your real name when logging in so Kate can recognize you.
  • If possible, use a larger screen (laptop, tablet) for a clearer view of demonstrations.

3. During Class

  • Please keep your microphone muted unless when asking a question.
  • Feel free to turn your camera on—Kate loves seeing you!
  • Use the chat box for questions; we’ll pause to answer them throughout and have a Live Q&A at the end of class.
  • If you get lost, don’t worry! Kate will recap key steps and you will receive a transcript of the class after the class concludes.

4. Participation

  • There will be time to create along with Kate on your own machine as Kate demonstrates.
  • It’s fine to just watch and take notes if you prefer. Students can reference the recording at a later date to sew. Be patient, Kate will share many tips and tricks along the way. 

5. Technical Tips

  • Have your device plugged in or fully charged.
  • Sit in a quiet, well-lit space if possible.
  • If your screen freezes, try turning off your video to improve the connection.
  • You will have access to the class replay to watch as many times as you want.

6. After Class

  • Practice the steps right away so the skills stick.
  • Reach out if you have questions, Kate loves hearing from students!
  • The link to watch the class later is intended for your personal use only. Please honor that request.
