Binding Boot Camp - Nov 14, 2024

- Policies
Do you have a stack of quilts that need to be bound, but you aren’t sure how to do it? Perhaps you’ve bound quilts but weren’t happy with the results. If that’s the case, this class is for you! Binding is made easy in this class in which you’ll receive two kits that include binding strips and a small quilt on which to work so you don’t have to worry about messing up one of your own projects. In the first half of the class, we’ll go through all the steps of trimming and squaring the quilt and adding traditional binding. In the second half, you’ll learn how to attach binding completely by machine and add a splash of color at the same time. (This binding is NOT the backing brought to the front.) Join this fun and productive class so you can become a binding pro!
