Cathedral Window Quilt Block Tutorial: Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners

[@rzif987A39H]

Many thanks for sharing this video - of all the cathedral window techniques I’ve seen on KZbin this seems the best in my opinion!

Thank you 😊😊😊

Very well explained, I actually understood what I needed to do. And they come out beautiful

@@MaureenAlmeida-u3f Thank you. I am glad you were able to understand my tutorial. 😊😊😊

Loved the video but how did you finish it. How would you do the backing as it now has raw edges.

[@JoSmith-wellhousestitches]

Thanks. If you use this method to make a quilt you would have to add a backing, I will do in the future. This method is great for cushion covers too.☺️☺️

Would ironing the folded edges help keep the shape of the window? Or maybe I just need to practice my sewing because I always sew off the edge or the sewing line is not as smooth as I would like. Also the fabric seems to shift a lot.

[@JoSmith-wellhousestitches]

Hi thanks for your question. I wouldn't advise ironing. It takes practice, no one gets it perfect first time. Take your time and sew slowly, if you have a slow setting on your machine use it. I hope this helps but really it is just practice and don't be too harsh on yourself, I'm sure it's better than you think. 😊😊😊

Love your cat material! Great job of making this so easy to understand!

This is interesting; but, it still looks heavy.

[@JoSmith-wellhousestitches]

Hi yes there are a few layers of fabric in places but I did use quite a heavy fabric as I was using up scraps and had to use what I had 😊

There's many variations of doing the cathedral wwindows, each that I've seen says you will not need batting or a backing due to the amount of fabric required to do the pattern. Each of them turned out pretty weighty but beautiful.
