Machine Quilting Patterns For Beginners – You Can Do This!

Machine quilting patterns for beginners are the best ways to get started when learning to quilt.   No need to be proud, we all start at the beginning in any project. And learning a new craft is no different. In fact, I actually taught myself to quilt years ago and using beginner quilting patterns was key. Beginner patterns are just as beautiful as any quilting pattern, but the instructions are a little more straight forward and some have fewer steps. The designs are usually straight forward with straight edges and lines. And believe it or not those are the designs I prefer today even though I have been quilting for many years. You are going to find your own style in quilting and eventually gravitate toward what is pleasing to your eye.

The term quilting has become generic in that it is used interchangeably for piecing as well as the actual design applied to the pieced together top of your quilt. The top is made of several different pieces of cloth cut into a pattern and then sewn together. When you quilt it you actually put a design that holds the quilt together, either by hand or by machine. Machine quilting is done digitally and the digital pattern is read by quilting embroidery machines.

Keepsake Quilting Pattern Perfect For Getting Started With Quilting

A great way to get started is by choosing something small that you will be able to complete quickly. Also it is a really good way to get used to handling the piecing that is necessary when putting your quilt top together. Having fewer pieces to the puzzle will be less confusing and also give you a sense of accomplishment.

This pattern is perfect for this, it is four place mats and a table runner. It is straight edges which is easier to work with at first and it is also very beautiful and it is something you can complete rather quickly. I think it is really nice and could be put to good use. This would also make a great gift, something homemade for the new bride, or a new homeowner.

 A Big EZ Quilt Pattern Is Perfect For Beginner Quilters

Another great way to get started with quilting is to start with a smaller size project. A lap sized throw is a wonderful starting point. And also this pattern has large squares for the design which is very eye catching and fun to put together.

And you can have so much fun exercising your creative side when deciding your colors and different fabrics to have the perfect quilt top. I created a quilt top for my husband once and actually took him along to the fabric store so he could pick out his own colors that he would for sure love when the quilt was done. He was a fun project for us both.

There is no end to the inspiration that will help you when creating a new quilt top. Have fun making your new throw.
