Why this course is worth it

A quilted coat is such a beautiful project — but it can also feel like a lot to figure out on your own.

There are so many moving pieces: choosing the right size, selecting fabric and batting, preparing your materials, quilting the coat panels, sewing the sleeves, and finishing everything neatly with binding. Even if you’re excited about the idea, it’s easy to feel unsure about where to start or what to do next.

That’s where this course comes in.

Instead of piecing the process together on your own, you’ll be guided through it step by step with detailed video instruction, so you can move forward with more clarity and confidence. You’ll be able to see each stage before you do it yourself, work at your own pace, and revisit the lessons whenever you need to.

You’re not just getting the information — you’re getting support through the full process of making a quilted coat that is practical, beautiful, and truly wearable.

FAQ

How long will I have access to the lessons?

The lessons will be available for the lifetime that I am offering this course!
Are the patterns included in the cost of the course?

The Hovea or Hovea Curves patterns are NOT included in the cost of your course and can be purchased directly from Megan Nielsen Patterns. The Etched Diamond Quilt x Hovea Coat Pattern Extension IS included in the course price.
Why is the Hovea Coat Pattern not included in the course price?

To avoid confusion since the Hovea coat is designed by Megan Nielsen Patterns and comes in two different size options and in both PDF or printed, it was best to keep that a separate piece so you know which size/format would be best for you!
What currency is the Quilted Coat course in?

The price for the Quilted Coat course is in USD funds and includes taxes.
Do I need to have sewing/quilting experience?

I assume that you have basic sewing knowledge (i.e., you know how to use a sewing machine), but I walk you through every step of the piecing journey so even if you've never quilted or sewn a garment you'll be able to tackle this project.
Do the lessons cover matching print lining?

Not at this time. To help keep things focused on the patchwork and piecing of your coat, this course does not cover how to match your print lining.
Can I get a refund?

Due to the nature of the course being digital, there are no refunds available at this time. Check out the free preview Welcome video to be sure this course is a good fit for you before you decide to purchase!

Superb

Nancy Guttormson

The steps are very meticulously done. Great for many levels of sewist. If it is something you have mastered already, just go to the next step.

Fantastic course!

Kristina Padgett

Shannon goes through almost every single step in my new detail. I love that I can follow along. I am not a sewist, but I do quilt. even though, I have learned a lot of little tips and tricks from her. I was so anxious about taking on this project,...

Shannon Rocked this Course

Elizabeth Fitzgerald

I have never combined quilting with pattern-piecing a garment before and Shannon’s course absolutely took the fear away for me. This is the loveliest coat and can be personalized for a unique gift in a favorite color, something I’m making for my daughter in law….and of course I have to make myself one too! I have just finished watching the entire tutorial once through and will re-watch it as I cut through the fabric and begin the making. I never felt like I was in the dark on any portion of this and I am so appreciative to Shannon for guiding us on this journey. I can see incorporating other designs for future coats and won’t be afraid to do so. Great videos, great value. We quilters buy soooooo much stuff, so much fabric. It’s so valuable to have someone sit with you and guide you through an unknown process! Thanks so very much!!
