Love of Quilting TV Show – 3000 Series – Fons & Porter
In this series we present quilts created to honor our service men and women, as well as lessons about silk dupioni, crazy quilting, a bit of embellishment and longarm quilting design inspiration. We also present great tips and techniques to add to your piecing skills.
Download a free supplies list which includes information about the 3000 series projects.
Series Credits: The sewing machine for the series is the Baby Lock Crescendo. For piecing, we use the ¼″ quilting presser foot or the monogramming presser foot. We use basic sewing supplies such as fabric, rotary cutters, and scissors. We wear a Klutz cut-resistant safety glove when rotary cutting, press with a Reliable iron, and measure using Omnigrid, and Fons & Porter rulers. Patterns and instructions for quilts featured are in Love of Quilting magazine or as listed on our website. We have Love of Quilting DVDs available for our TV shows, beginning with the 400 series, available in our online shop.

How can I find out what tool Sara used in episode 3006 to mark the 1/4 on the points for matching? I would love to buy one, but I can’t see a logo on the episode and I can’t find it online. Thank you!
I purchased the annual all access video subscription. All I see when I choose a series/episode of interest is the preview. How do I view the entire show?
I would like more detailed instructions on the Shooting Stars pattern in episode 3006. When I click on the link to download the ebook I get an error. Is it still available or do I need to purchase the Quilting Quickly magazine it was published in. The episode does not give the size to cut the squares and triangle units.
Where can I find all of the free quilting series videos that used to be on qnntv such as Fons and Porters Love of Quilting?
Denise,
Thanks for checking—the free video series are all available at https://www.quiltingcompany.com/video/. Enjoy!

How do I submit a tip to Fons & Porter?

I would like the pattern or directions of the 3002 series, Orange You Sweet, Table Runner. I subscribe to the magazine too. It is featured in a monthly Fons and Porter magazine or how do I find what i need for the table runner?
Colleen, thanks for checking! Links to the Orange You Sweet pattern (and, while available, quilt kit) are available at this episode’s detail page. The project appeared in the September/October 2017 issue of Love of Quilting, so you may have this one on hand! Thanks for being a subscriber.
