See exactly what you get in the True Hearts Table Topper pattern and video class, plus a step-by-step plan to finish this quilt-as-you-go heart table topper.
Quick answer
The True Hearts Table Topper pattern and video class gives you a downloadable 29-inch PDF pattern plus a full quilt-as-you-go video walkthrough. Work through the steps below in order, and watch each video segment before you cut or sew that stage.
What the class actually covers
This is a project-based class, not a general quilting course. The video follows the True Hearts table topper from start to finish using the quilt-as-you-go method, so you see the same steps you will do at home. The pattern is a downloadable PDF, and both the pattern and video appear in your account after ordering.
Because the class was originally the January project in the Fast & Furious Club Season 2, it is built as a focused seasonal project rather than a long series. That makes it a good fit if you want a guided finish rather than open-ended lessons.
Why quilt-as-you-go changes your setup
With quilt-as-you-go, you quilt each section as you assemble it instead of basting a full quilt and quilting it at the end. That means you need your backing, batting, and pieced sections ready in smaller units. It also means you can finish a table topper without wrestling a large quilt through your machine.
The trade-off is that you cannot skip ahead. Each unit needs to be layered and quilted before it joins the next, so the order in the video matters more than it would in a standard pieced pattern.
Step-by-step: make the True Hearts table topper
- Set up your account and download the pattern: Create your account before you order so the PDF pattern and video class appear in your account immediately. Open the PDF and read through the full supply list and the quilt-as-you-go overview before you cut anything. Checkpoint: confirm you can see both the pattern download and the video in your account before you start.
- Gather and label your fabrics and batting: Pull the fabrics you plan to use for the heart blocks, background, backing, and binding, plus batting for each quilt-as-you-go section. Label each piece with its intended use so you do not mix up backing and background cuts. Common mistake: cutting backing and background from the same fabric without labeling, which causes confusion once the sections are layered.
- Watch the first video segment before cutting: Play the opening section of the video class that covers the quilt-as-you-go setup. Follow Gudrun’s demonstration for layering and preparing the first unit, then cut only the pieces needed for that unit. Checkpoint: pause the video and match your cut pieces to the on-screen unit before you sew.
- Build and quilt one section at a time: Assemble and quilt each section as shown in the class before starting the next. Keep the PDF open to the measurement page so you can verify sizes as you go. Common mistake: assembling all the sections first and quilting later, which defeats the quilt-as-you-go method.
- Join the quilted sections: Follow the video’s order for joining the completed sections. Match seams and edges carefully, and press as directed so the joined top stays flat. Checkpoint: lay the joined topper flat and measure it against the 29-inch finished size stated in the pattern.
- Finish the edges and review: Add the binding or finish shown in the pattern, then compare your finished topper to the class result. If a seam or quilting line looks off, rewatch the relevant video segment before you trim or bind. New action: note which step gave you trouble so you know what to review before your next quilt-as-you-go project.
