Hi I’m Nicole Gilbert and this is the Stop Scrolling, Start Sewing podcast.  Each Wednesday join me as I share the ins and outs of that quilt life.  If you don't have a sewing machine, can bust out a super fly Y seam,  or just want to hear about the newest or coolest quilty news, this is the podcast for you.

Hi Folks! Nicole here and welcome to season 3 episode 6 of the stop scrolling, start sewing podcast. Whether you’re listening on the way to work or watching on YouTube, thank you for spending a bit of your day with me.

On this episode of the podcast we are chatting all about Pattern Testers.  In the past we’ve discussed all sorts of quilting professionals, including educators, instructors, pattern designers, and fabric designers.  But a little known, but super important, part of the process are the pattern testers.

Sewing Machine Educators and Quilt Classes

In this episode I'm breaking down just what a Baby Lock Educator is and what the team does.  It's been a blast to be a part of the Baby Lock Educator team.  I've gotten the chance to meet Baby Lock sewing machine owners and shop owners from across North America.

Well I'm back!  From (what I consider) a much deserved summer break.  And boy, do I have a lot in store for y'all.  This is an episode that you definitely don't want to miss.  Be sure to listen in for all the cool new things coming up.

But first a quick announcement:  Enrollment for Learn to Quilt in 60 Days is Open NOW!  And for a limited time only.  Doors close 9/12 and the first day of class is the 13th.  To learn all the details, head over to nicolegilbertquilts.com/enroll

For those of you who are faithful listeners, you know that appliqué isn't my jam.  I think I've said those exact words several times on the podcast.  But recently, that has changed for me.  If you listened to my New Years episode a few months back, I mentioned that this year I wanted to learn some new techniques and I truly have dived on in on this.

I've become a prolific bag maker, an English paper piecing addict, and.... an appliqué artist.

Yup.  applique.  I have to admit, whenever I used to think of appliqué, images of sunbonnet sue and little houses with chimneys always came to mind.  For those of you familiar with my quilting aesthetic, you know that is for sure not up my alley.  SO I started to explore.  And I found a project I fell in love with.  SO much so, that I've even started down the path of certification to teach this specific technique for a major national brand.  More on that later this fall.

But now that I'm in love with all (or at least most) things appliqué. I thought I'd go over the basics of appliqué and some the tools you may find helpful.
