Quilt Kit Instructions

Posted on February 29, 2012July 28, 2015 by Martha

This past week I have been working on the doll quilt kits, prepping and cutting tons of tiny pieces of fabric.  The one thing I have been putting off is writing the instructions, which is a struggle for me.  In this first draft, I tried to come up with a format I could use for all the patterns.  Since I absolutely cannot draw at all, I had to use photos.  I know I am assuming a certain amount of sewing ability, but I was thinking that anyone purchasing this type of kit would already know how to sew.

It’s a lot to ask, but if any of you have a few minutes, I would love to have your comments, suggestions, criticisms, corrections — basically anything.

I’m still working out all the little details — I know you’ll all be happy when I stop talking about this, and finally open the stupid shop.

Thanks!

    Sounds wonderful to me! Very straight-forward instructions and pics.
    The Word program has the ability to draw lots of patchwork shapes for pattern instructions – I use it a lot – if you get tired of taking photos of everything.

    I think these are very helpful. I just sold a bunch of commercial quilt patterns on eBay, and none of them had directions as clear and detailed as these.

    Your instructions and photographs are great! Clear, easy to understand, and showing the back of the asters is very helpful. I think you did a fine job.

    Love it, the only thing I would add at the top is the finished dimension of the quilt.

    Martha, your instructions and pictures were great. They were very easy to understand, and I don’t think anyone would have any trouble with them. The only thing that you might want to add to your quilt kits is a rating–begginning, intermediate, or advanced–because some are a lot harder than others. A begginner could do this one, for example, but may not be able to do the Drunkards Path. I enjoy your blog page sooo much. You do great work!

    I think the instructions and photos are spot on. I usually get kinda confused with sashing instructions, but these are nice and clear and the photos help a bunch. See? You can do it!!
