One course, two ways to learn

Taught the way adults learn. And the way kids learn.

Adults on their own · Solo mode

Built on adult education

  • The "why" first: the geometry, the fibre and the physics behind each method.
  • Fix-it charts in every lesson: what you see, why it happens, how to fix it.
  • Technical lesson titles and a maker's note in every lesson.
  • Your pace. Jump to any lesson or tool; nothing locks.
  • No cartoon mascot, no kid talk.

Kids with a mentor · Duo mode

Built on youth education

  • Clear jobs every lesson: what the young maker does, what the mentor checks.
  • Practice in a simulator first, then on real fabric.
  • A safety check in every lesson: needles, blades, irons and fusible glue.
  • A talk-about-it question at the end to lock in what they learned.
  • Ten new passport stamps to celebrate progress.

Finished Level 1?

Everything it left out

Paper piecing, appliqué, curves, flying geese, Y-seams, improv, free-motion quilting and gallery finishes. Studio II assumes you can sew a ¼″ seam, make a quilt sandwich and bind.

Not a confident quilter yourself?

The course teaches the mentor too

Every lesson tells the mentor exactly what to check, what to say, and what to do when something goes wrong. You learn side by side.
