Conquer Your Fabric Scraps Summit is all about helping quilters discover practical tips and techniques to organize and store fabric remnants as well as creative ways to repurpose scraps of all sizes. Summit classes cover:

• Creative and practical ways to utilize fabric scraps in new projects.
• Establishing an organized system for storing and categorizing fabric scraps.
• Mixing colors and fabrics to achieve the look you want.
• Innovative ways to incorporate fabric scraps into quilting designs.
• Getting out of your own way and having fun with your scraps.
• Gaining confidence in decision-making regarding which fabric scraps to keep and which to discard.
• Feeling motivated and excited about working with fabric scraps.

This 2024 Conquer Your Fabric Scraps summit is for you if:

• You are a quilter or quilting is ONE of your sewing interests.
• You want creative ideas for using scraps.
• You’re looking for inspiration on how to organize your scraps.
• You want to build confidence in mixing and matching colors.
• Your scrap bins are overflowing and you’re struggling with what to do with all your project leftovers.
• You have been unable to sew your way out of feeling overrun with fabric scraps.

If you are new to quilting and your scrap pile is currently small and manageable this event is for you, too. (Because it doesn’t take too long before those scraps get out of control.)

If you ONLY sew clothes, this summit is probably not for you. All the teachers are quilting experts, and there are no classes that focus on using or managing scraps from garment construction. However, not all the classes are about quilting. There are a few classes on non-quilting techniques and home decor projects, one class on making things to wear from your scraps and several classes on managing your mindset (being creative, overcoming obstacles, perfectionism, and being an awesome beginner).

The free summit runs from August 15 – 18, 2024. The 27 classes are spread out over 4 days. Each day a new set of pre-recorded classes will be released at 9:00 am CDT (central daylight time). The free classes will be available to watch for 48 hours.

But you don’t have to wait until August 15 to start learning. Once you register, you’ll get immediate access to 21 Tips and Tools for Scraps videos. In these short, value-packed videos (5 minutes or less), each teacher shares her favorite scrap organization methods, books, and tools with you so you can start conquering your fabric scraps. In addition, you’ll also be able to join our private Facebook community and join in on the fun right away!

Yes, you will. No matter what time zone you are in, you have 48 hours to watch the free classes. You just need to convert the start time to your time zone. There are many online tools to help you do that.

Classes will be happening August 15 – 18, 2024. A new set of classes will be released at 9:00 am CDT (central daylight time) which means classes will overlap. After registering, you will get a welcome email that includes a schedule of the classes. You can use this to help you plan for the classes you want to watch.

Note: The Tips and Tools for Scraps videos will be available for you to watch as soon as you register until the last day of the summit.

The presentations are pre-recorded, and available for 48 hours with your free ticket. So I encourage you to watch the teachers you don’t want to miss first! 

However, if you’re not able to attend all of the classes that interest you, after you register for the free ticket, you’ll have the opportunity to upgrade to the Scrap Success Bundle for extended access, premium bonuses from the teachers, and more!

Your free ticket includes 48-hour access to each of the classes. If you need more time, you can always upgrade your ticket to the Scrap Success Bundle after registering, which will give you extended access to the classes along with premium bonuses from the teachers and more! 

To avoid tech glitches and give you the best possible experience during the free summit, all teacher videos and classes are pre-recorded. The Tips and Tools videos are available as soon as you register for the free event. The classes will be released daily at a scheduled time (9:00am CDT) during the summit.

All summit attendees are invited to join the private Conquer Your Fabric Scraps Hangout FB group for community and support before and during the week of the summit. Here you can ask questions about the classes, talk about scraps in general, connect with teachers, chat with me (Nicki the summit host), and share photos of your scrap projects.

There will be live events for attendees who upgrade to the Scrap Success Bundle. These will be hosted through Zoom and scheduled out through the end of September. These live events are designed to keep the momentum from the summit going after it’s over.

Yes. All classes have closed captioning as an option. You will have the ability to turn them off or on.

They are auto-generated so there may be some spelling errors.

No. When you register, you’ll be added to The Ruffled Purse email list so I can send you updates for the event and links to each day’s presentations. After the summit is over, you’ll have the option to continue to hear from me (Nicki), but you can unsubscribe at any time. 

Each of the teachers will have free resources available that you can access by providing an email address, but the teachers will not get your email address unless you choose to give it to them specifically. That way, you only hear from the people you really love and don’t have to worry about getting added to 20 email lists that you’re not interested in.

You can unsubscribe from any teachers’ email list at any time.

You can learn more in our Privacy Policy.

If you still have questions, I encourage you to go ahead and sign up. Your questions will likely be answered during the event or in the Facebook community, which you’ll be able to join right away after you register for the free event. 

However, if you want to ask a question before registering, feel free to send me an email at nicki@theruffledpurse.com.
