Why this course is worth it
A quilted coat is such a beautiful project — but it can also feel like a lot to figure out on your own.
There are so many moving pieces: choosing the right size, selecting fabric and batting, preparing your materials, quilting the coat panels, sewing the sleeves, and finishing everything neatly with binding. Even if you’re excited about the idea, it’s easy to feel unsure about where to start or what to do next.
That’s where this course comes in.
Instead of piecing the process together on your own, you’ll be guided through it step by step with detailed video instruction, so you can move forward with more clarity and confidence. You’ll be able to see each stage before you do it yourself, work at your own pace, and revisit the lessons whenever you need to.
You’re not just getting the information — you’re getting support through the full process of making a quilted coat that is practical, beautiful, and truly wearable.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Still have a few questions? Here are the details most quilters want to know before they join.
How long do I have access?
You’ll have lifetime access while the course is being offered, so you can revisit the lessons anytime.
Are the patterns included in the cost of the course?
You’ll have lifetime access while the course is being offered, so you can revisit the lessons anytime.
Why is the Hovea Coat Pattern not included in the course price?
To avoid confusion since the Hovea coat is designed by Megan Nielsen Patterns and comes in two different size options and in both PDF or printed, it was best to keep that a separate piece so you know which size/format would be best for you!
Do I need to have sewing/quilting experience?
I assume that you have basic sewing knowledge (i.e., you know how to use a sewing machine), but I walk you through every step of the piecing journey so even if you've never quilted or sewn a garment, you'll be able to tackle this project.
Do the lessons cover matching print lining?
Not at this time. To help keep things focused on the patchwork and piecing of your coat, this course does not cover how to match your print lining.
Can I get a refund?
Due to the nature of the course being digital, there are no refunds available at this time. Check out the free preview Welcome video to be sure this course is a good fit for you before you decide to purchase!
