Mastering Compound Curves: Cut It, Sew It, Cut It Again with Carli Marsico
Learn to cut and sew perfect curve.
Then, take it a step further; slicing those sewn units apart and reassembling them into more complex shapes.
We'll cover everything from cutting accurate curve pieces and sewing them without distortion, to the compound curve technique that turns basic units into something far more interesting.
No curved sewing experience needed.
The finished project is a modern yin-yang block, and because we use both sides of every curve cut, nothing gets discarded. You'll leave with a repeatable method for curved piecing that goes well beyond this one block.

Hi! I'm Carli Marsico, better known as Guilty Quilty.
I'm a materials engineer and part-time sewist.
Guilty Quilty was born out of a need to stretch and exercise my creative muscles. While engineering is an inherently creative vocation, it doesn't provide nearly enough time to satisfy my creative side. Guilty Quilty fills that void. It's my escape, my passion, and my training ground so that I can come back to my engineering refreshed and ready to tackle technical problems with a new perspective.
I love saturated, warm colors and modern, innovative designs that use colors and fabrics in unusual ways to create unique effects. But more than any of that, I love a slick technique. There's nothing better than applying engineering to my quilting to come up with quicker ways to make complicated processes easier.
