Double Time Quilt Along Week 3
We hope things are beginning to take shape and the pieces you're sewing together are beginning to get a rhythm.
Your Week 3 Checklist
Week 3 (& Week 4) are dedicated to cutting, prepping & sewing your blocks:
- Continue Cutting Your Concave & Convex pieces out - Once your fabric is cut into the curved components it is very important that you are careful handling them so they don't distort or stretch.
- Pair up Fabrics & Prep Your Blocks for Sewing - Lots of pins, a few pins or dare to try no pins!
- Sew Your Blocks - Keep a consistent 'scant quarter inch' seam allowance throughout the entire project by marking your machine with washi tape or using a quarter inch presser foot for your machine
- Finger Press & Press Blocks With an Iron - it's helpful to use Flatter or a starch spray to help
- REPEAT x 80 Blocks!
Week 3 Milestone:Make sure you are registered for the Double Time Quilt Along and Post a photo of your test block(s) to Instagram. Are you using pins? Three Pins per block? Six Pins per block? Did you try the glue stick method? Are you prepping blocks in batches? By sharing, you’ll automatically be entered to win a Week 3 prize!

Merchant & Mills Weekender Bag : Community Sew Along
A community sew-along for the Merchant & Mills Weekender Bag
The Merchant & Mills Weekender Bag is thoughtfully designed, beautifully utilitarian, and full of satisfying construction details. It’s the kind of make many of us want to start, but don’t always find the time to finish on our own.
That’s exactly why we’re hosting a Community Sew-Along.
January Finish It Challenge
Our January Finish It Challenge is a four-week, online invitation to spend time with projects you’ve already begun with support, structure, and zero pressure to rush or perfect.
Online Garment Sewing Workshops & Handmade Wardrobe Year
Virtual sewing workshops, studio passes, and Handmade Wardrobe Year
the workroom’s virtual sewing workshops are designed to support thoughtful, skill-building garment sewing - whether you’re joining for a single project or building a handmade wardrobe over time.
Rather than offering a single path, there are several ways to sew with the workroom, depending on how much structure, continuity, and ongoing support feels right for you. This guide outlines each option and how they connect, helping you choose what best fits goals.
