Community
Keep the craft alive. Pass it on.
Quilting has always been social: bees, guilds, retreats, quilts made for someone else. We make tools for the quilters of today, and we want to help the quilters of tomorrow get started.
Meet us
Come see the Sew Stack in person
Heidi brings the full Sew Stack range to quilt shows and guild events. Stop by the booth, try one with your own bobbins, and talk quilting.
Our 2027 show schedule is being finalised. Ask us if you'd like us to visit your guild or show.

How to start your first quilt
Every quilter was a beginner once. Here's the path we recommend to friends.
Find your people
Visit a local quilt shop or guild. Most offer beginner classes, and quilters are famously generous with advice (and fabric).
Start small
A table runner, baby quilt or a few simple blocks teaches every core skill — cutting, piecing, pressing, quilting and binding — without a months-long commitment.
Learn the ¼" seam
Nearly every pattern assumes it. A quarter-inch presser foot makes it easy (and gives you a reason for a Machine Feet Tray later).
Finish it
Imperfect and finished beats perfect and folded in a drawer. Then make another.
Heritage
Why quilts matter
Quilts are some of the most personal objects people make. They record family history, mark births and weddings, raise money for causes, and carry patterns handed down through generations. Museums such as the International Quilt Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska, collect them as both craft and art.
That tradition only continues if people keep learning. National Quilting Day, celebrated on the third Saturday of March, is a good excuse to teach someone. We'd love to hear how you're passing it on — tell us your story.
