The 8 Best Quilting YouTube Channels of 2026

Missouri Star Quilt Company's YouTube channel, hosted primarily by Jenny Doan, is the most-watched quilting destination on the internet. Started in 2009 to support the Missouri Star retail store, the channel has grown to over a million subscribers and tens of millions of monthly views. Jenny's friendly, down-to-earth teaching style is widely credited with introducing an entire generation of new quilters to the craft — particularly through her pre-cut friendly patterns that turn charm packs, jelly rolls, and layer cakes into completed quilts in a single weekend.

The channel posts multiple times a week with new project tutorials, fabric line walkthroughs, and behind-the-scenes content from Quilt Town USA in Hamilton, Missouri. Every tutorial uses Missouri Star pre-cuts where possible, making it the gold-standard channel for pre-cut quilting techniques. Jenny's video introductions ("Hi, I'm Jenny from the Missouri Star Quilt Company!") are quilting culture.

Pat Sloan is one of the most prolific quilting personalities in American quilting. The author of 40+ quilt books and designer of hundreds of patterns, she has hosted the daily "Quilters" podcast on QNNtv since the mid-2000s and runs an active YouTube channel with daily content. Her teaching covers traditional piecing, modern variations, beginner techniques, and her own pattern lines.

What sets Pat apart is the volume and consistency — most quilting YouTubers post weekly or bi-weekly; Pat posts daily, often multiple videos in a day. The result is a deep archive of approachable, well-edited quilting content covering every imaginable technique and pattern style.

Laura Coia's SewVeryEasy channel is known for the clearest, most methodical beginner quilting tutorials on YouTube. Each video walks through a single block or technique step by step with clean overhead camera work and calm narration. The channel is a favorite for quilters who find Missouri Star's pace too fast, or who want to see a technique demonstrated without all the chatter.

Laura's specialty is breaking complex blocks into simple sub-units — flying geese, half-square triangles, paper piecing — and showing exactly how each piece is cut and sewn. Newer quilters often start with SewVeryEasy and graduate to other channels once they're comfortable with the basics.

Jordan Fabrics, run by Donna and Matt Jordan in Grants Pass, Oregon, is a popular YouTube channel and online quilt shop known for bright batik fabrics, scrappy modern patterns, and a brisk weekly tutorial cadence. The shop's signature "Jordan Fabrics Mystery Quilt" series has run for years, and their pattern designs are favored by quilters who want bold color without leaving traditional construction methods.

The channel produces high-quality videos with multiple cameras, clear instruction, and frequent giveaways. Donna's teaching style is warm and conversational; Matt typically handles the camera and post-production.

Angela Walters is the most influential machine quilting teacher in modern quilting. Her YouTube channel focuses almost entirely on free-motion quilting and longarming — the "quilting of the quilt" rather than the piecing of the top — and is the standard reference for quilters who want to learn how to finish their tops on their own machines.

Angela has written multiple books on machine quilting, teaches at major quilt shows, and runs a popular Quilting Is My Therapy podcast. Her YouTube content covers free-motion designs, longarm setup, troubleshooting machine quilting problems, and design inspiration. For quilters at the intermediate or advanced piecing level who want to move past stitch-in-the-ditch finishing, her channel is essential.

The Quilt Show, hosted by Alex Anderson (longtime PBS quilting host) and Ricky Tims (Texas-based art quilter and composer), is the closest thing the quilting world has to a long-form talk show. Each episode features an in-depth interview with a quilt artist, designer, or industry figure — Yvonne Porcella, Caryl Bryer Fallert, Hollis Chatelain, Karen Stone, and hundreds of others. The show's archive runs to several hundred episodes.

Beyond the interviews, The Quilt Show maintains a paid membership site with full episode access, plus a free YouTube channel with clips, behind-the-scenes content, and selected full episodes.

Helen Robinson of Sew Kind of Wonderful designed the Quick Curve Ruler, a specialty quilting ruler that made curved piecing dramatically faster and more accurate. Her YouTube channel teaches the techniques the ruler enables — Drunkard's Path variations, Mod Mosaic curves, and her own pattern lines — alongside general modern quilting tutorials.

The channel is particularly valuable for quilters who want to graduate from straight-line piecing to curves without the traditional difficulty of pinning, marking, and sewing tight arcs.

Karen Brown's Just Get It Done Quilts is one of the most-recommended quilting channels for honest, practical advice. The channel doesn't focus on a single technique or aesthetic — it covers whatever Karen is working on at the moment, mixed with frank discussions of UFOs (unfinished objects), stash management, quilting goals, and the psychology of finishing what you start.

The channel resonates with experienced quilters who have shelves of unfinished projects and want a kind voice telling them it's okay to just finish, donate, or destash what's not serving them anymore.
