Course Details

This is a distance learning course which can be studied from anywhere in the world. You will learn by working your way through our online course materials, including video content, with full support from our dedicated expert tutors. 

Patchwork and Quilting is a craft that offers learners the chance to learn and combine many skills and techniques, but above all lends itself to being a versatile and creative craft.

Course Modules

There are around 100-150 hours of course content split across 4 modules. Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • Research a chosen artist
  • Introduction to patchwork basics and using a sewing machine
  • Four and nine patchwork patterns
  • Triangles and log cabin styles
  • Introduction to rotary cutting
  • Development of a portfolio containing your own designs and ideas with colour and texture
  • More basic techniques: Hand sewn techniques, using templating, hand piecing, English quilting
  • Hand and machine appliquè
  • Edging and finishing techniques to add a professional looking finishing to your pieces
  • Complete a final assessment piece. Choose from wither a 3D functional item, a panel/hanging/quilt or a wearable art item.

Delivery & Assessment

The course is supplied as a distance learning course where course materials and tutor assessments are delivered digitally and work is returned to your tutor via digital presentation.

Your coursework will be reviewed by your tutor and periodically by an Internal Quality Assessor, to ensure the appropriate quality standard is maintained. You will be provided with written feedback in a timely fashion (usually within 10 days) and, if needed, you will be able to re-submit altered work. You can contact your tutor at any time to request your work to date be reviewed and suggestions for future progress be made.

Course Timescales

There is around 100-150 hours of course content/materials and it is usual for students to take between 6-8 weeks to complete each module. Students can take up to 1 year to complete the course, which allows students to work at their own pace. However, it is up to the individual student how quickly they wish to return work to their tutor for assessment.

A six-month contingency is available, if needed, to cover unforeseen issues such as illness, upon production of supporting documentation, which would therefore extend the course life to 18 months (1.5 years). The maximum for this extra contingency time is once during the course lifetime.

Aimed At

Our Skill Stage 2 accredited courses are aimed at Patchwork and Quilting beginners. If you’ve only ever made a few projects by following patterns or you’ve only just found an interest in your new hobby, then we’d recommend that you study a Skill Stage 2 course. At this level our Patchwork and Quilting courses have been carefully designed to not only teach new techniques, but also introduce students to conducting research into artists or designers, and eventually learn how to create their own designs.

If you have already undertaken a few of the craft basics in this area, but rarely read around your subject or have limited experience of attending courses or exhibitions then a Skills Stage 2 course is probably going to be your best bet.

A Skills Stage 2 course will introduce you to the pleasures of immersing yourself in your chosen craft. Not only does this help you to develop your own style but it’s also an important way of discovering new trends and exploring favourite artists.

Clare Allison

“The most helpful part of the course has been an opportunity to develop creatively, not just through learning new patchwork and quilting techniques but through working through the whole design process from researching different artists, learning about the elements of art, to going out to take photos to manipulate into my own designs.”

“The only motivation was me. I wanted to do this and to challenge myself. I had no desire to do anything with it, but for my own sense of achievement. Sometimes you should just do things so you can say ‘I did that'”.

“I would definitely recommend this course to others. Both courses have shown me that with the right guidance and support (from my family and the school), I can actually do it. And thanks to The School of Stitched Textiles, I’ve achieved more than I ever believed possible.”
