Are you struggling with block making?

Quilt block making can be frustrating without a class or a teacher to show you the way. You can fumble through a pattern yourself, of course, but there's a lot of details while working on a quilt that doesn't get included in the patterns. These details CAN be found in Precision Workshop!

  • Do you find that your units or blocks do not finish at the accurate size?

  • Do your points never line up accurately?

  • Are you frustrated and finding yourself disenchanted with a quilt pattern after something doesn't work out right?

  • Demos

    Every topic includes a demo showing you best practices for your cutting, sewing and pressing. We will walk through every step of block making: Cutting, sewing and pressing.

  • Real Talk

    Precision Workshop isn't an abstract class. It's a class with real talk and real instructions to help you improve your quilt block making. I'll be showing you all the techniques I use in my own quilts.

  • Block Patterns

    The Precision Workshop includes 2 block patterns (that can later be turned into pillows). We will work through these blocks together and put your new skills to use.

Join me!

Let me show you all the ways I've found to solve any frustrations that come along with block making.

I'm READY!

This has been an excellent teaching workshop Melanie. You are so thorough in your teaching. I hope to put some of my new learned skills to work. I think I understand when to use the scant 1/4" now. Quilting is so much more fun when you have some knowledge behing what you are doing. I wish I would have taken this class sooner as a new quilter. Hopefully my next quilt will be more accurate. Thank you Melanie.
