How To Find Free Quilt Patterns

Throughout history, ladies who quilted have shared patterns, designs, tips and experience to others within their group.
It was a way for women to get together in a social group without risking being accused of wasting time.
Not only did they use their 'social time' to make items, quilts, which could be used or sold, but they made them out of scrap material: small off-cuts of cloth which other people might call rags.
Women still do this today, particularly in the mid-west.
If you want to get into quilting, you could do a lot worse than join a quilting club or group.
Look in your local yellow pages or ask at a hobbyist shop.
If you have no source of free bedspread patterns from a local club, look on the Internet.
If you use the search term 'free quilting patterns' in Google or Yahoo, you will see hundreds of choices.
Some will be very good and others will be worthless and you will have to dig down to work out which are which.
If you are wondering why anyone would offer free bedspread patterns, the reason is that they will want you to visit their web site to request it and your email address to supply it.
This gives them all they need to send you marketing emails until you unsubscribe.
Monitor the emails they send you and if you do not like them, do not feel guilty about unsubscribing immediately, even if the free quilting patterns were pretty practical.
You will not be hurting anyone's feelings, no-one will even know who you are.
It is all done automatically with programs called autoresponders.
Patterns that you will be offered in your task for free bedspread patterns are normally the traditional ones that have passed into the public domain like the Lone Star, the Log Cabin and other traditional American patterns.
If you like the traditional quilting patterns this is all very well, but if you want something more contemporary and less well-known you will probably have to pay for it.
The average price of a quilting pattern is somewhere around $25, but it can also be $10 more or less.
eBay can be a good source of cheap quilting patterns.
However, do not give up on your quest for free quilting patterns too quickly because there really is a large amount of free quilting patterns on the Net, you merely have to continue looking.
Before you start, it would be worth creating a folder called Quilt Patterns in your Favorites Folder.
Then you can save any functional web sites in there so that you can come back to them easily again.
Searching for free quilting patterns, whether on the Internet or asking friends, is an agreeable aspect of the hobby of quilting, one that is certain to keep you absorbed for many hours.
