Beginners Quilt Binding
Ready to add the perfect finishing touch to your quilt? Join us for a fun, hands-on binding basics class that will have you binding like a pro in just three hours!
Learn how to:
- Cut double-fold binding using various techniques – on the bias, cross-grain, and straight-of-grain.
- Create a continuous binding strip with ease.
- Master the art of attaching binding, including achieving sharp mitered corners and seamlessly joining the ends.
Practice your skills by attaching bias binding to a 12” x 18” pre-quilted fabric placemat, a fun and manageable project. Whether you are new to binding or looking to refine your skills, this class is the perfect way to elevate your quilting game!
