Hey all you quilters out there! Don’t you just love a good quilting tutorial? Who doesn’t, right? Video tutorials are certainly a wonderful example of technology and progress. Back in the day, you couldn’t just pull up a YouTube video to learn how to sew perfect binding. If you wanted perfect binding, you had to teach yourself by trial and error (ugh!) or go down the street to Carol’s house and have her show you. Why do women named Carol always have perfect binding on their quilts? lol! But anyway, you get the point. Video tutorials are awesome!

Incredible Search Options!
The best part about QuiltingTutorials.com is the ability to search for a tutorial by not only the teacher or the quilt pattern, but you can also search by what size of precuts you have on hand. Got a layer cake and don’t know what to make with it? Just search by layer cake and it will bring up a ton of patterns perfect for a layer cake. Got a charm pack and don’t know what to do with it? Search under charm pack and it will give you a ton of ideas! There is a heading at the top of the page titled “Fabric Cut.” Click on that and a drop-down menu will show you lots of options for precuts and fabric. If you are looking for layer cake patterns, click on layer cake. Charm pack patterns, click on charm pack, etc. It is so incredibly handy!
Another heading at the top of the home page is “Theme.” Looking for a holiday quilt tutorial? It’s there! Looking for Civil War quilt tutorials? It’s there too! Just click on Civil War and it will show you so many quilts made from Civil War reproduction fabrics. There are a bunch of themes to choose from!
You can even search for tutorials based on skill level. Are you a beginner and want a very simple tutorial? Just narrow it down by clicking on beginner quilts. Same thing goes if you are a more advanced quilter and only want to see advanced quilt tutorials. YouTube does not offer these options and that is one of the many reasons why Quilting Tutorials is amazing.
