Rachael's Quilting Circle

Rachael's Quilting Circle is for quilters around the world. Share projects and make quilting friends online.

Why you should join: A warm place to show your quilting projects, receive encouragement and inspiration and connect with other quilters. Free to join.

The one-liner

A free Skool quilting circle where makers worldwide share projects and make quilting friends.

What they actually sell

Rachael’s Quilting Circle, run by Rachael Slorach, lives on Skool. Its public pitch: "A community of quilters from around the world." It is free to join. Rachael Slorach describes it in one line: a community of quilters who share projects, receive encouragement and inspiration and make online quilting friends. Several courses sit in the classroom, but the about page does not describe them, any live sessions or a paid option. Inside sit 5 courses.

Who pays and why

Quilters around the world who want to show their work and get encouragement. Quilting is often solitary, and friends at home may not appreciate the hours behind a finished piece. They join for project sharing, encouragement and online quilting friendships.

Where the members come from

Rachael Slorach's YouTube presence appears to feed the room. The Skool community reads as the member back end for people already drawn to that work. Exact follower counts stay off the public page.

What's holding it back

The about page is a single sentence repeated, so a new quilter cannot see what Rachael teaches or how the circle runs week to week.

Steal this

Make show and tell the centre of the group, because makers return to see reactions to their finished work.

Would this work in another niche?

Yes for any craft with a proud finished object, such as woodworking or knitting. Weak where the output is private.
