Certified Teacher Program

Feel a tug to teach but unsure how to start?

Not sure how to break into the craft/quilting world?

Unsure if you know "enough" to lead a class?

Overwhelmed by the idea of creating your own curriculum, patterns, or marketing materials?

YOU ARE NOT ALONE. MOST ASPIRING INSTRUCTORS FEEL THIS WAY.

That’s why we created the Certified Teacher Program — a complete "business-in-a-box" to help you skip the hard part and start teaching confidently.

Teaching and speaking at quilt guilds or quilt shops is the quickest and simplest business models in the quilt industry, and Shannon's Scrappy Applique, Color Confidence for Quilter's, Portrait Quilting, and Imbue (nautral fabric dyeing) workshops are in high demand. We'd love to share with you more about our Certified Teacher Training Program.

You’re already on the path. Let’s keep going—together.
