Making A Quilt By Hand | Episode 1 | Quilting Templates for the Card Trick Block

Welcome to Episode 1 of my series on making a traditional quilt entirely by hand — every single stitch, just as quilters have always done it. This series is for absolute beginners, so if you've always wanted to try quilting but never quite known where to start, this is the place. We're going to go through the whole process together, from beginning to finished quilt, one step at a time. The block we're making is called the Card Trick — a lovely design that looks far more complicated than it actually is. And in this first short episode, we're starting right at the very beginning: making your templates. Get that right and everything that follows becomes so much easier.    • How To Make A Traditional Quilt By Hand : ...   - WATCH THE INTRODUCTION 0:00 – Introduction to the Card Trick Block 0:39 – Comparing finished block examples 1:18 – Choosing card for your template 1:33 – Drawing the 4-inch square 1:58 – Pro-tip: Choosing and slanting your pen 3:08 – Cutting the square (Rotary cutter vs. Scissors) 4:36 – Creating the second shape (2 ¾-inch measurements) 5:45 – Summary of the two essential template shapes #Quilting #HandQuilting #SlowStitching #SewingTutorial #Patchwork    • MY STORY - A GLIMPSE INTO MY EARLY YEARS      • PENELOPE'S CHINWAG - EPISODES      • COUNSELLING ADVICE AND TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS      • HOW TO MAKE A QUILT, SOCKS, MACARON PURSE,...      • END FILMS FOR PENELOPE'S CHINWAG EPISODES      • PETER'S STORIES
