Creating a quilt is a lot like making a sandwich — a top layer of fabric, a middle layer of batting, and a bottom layer, all joined together by stitches. Binding gives your quilt a finished look by covering the edges of your "sandwich," keeping the raw edges from fraying. Examine a variety of ways to finish your quilted project using different binding techniques, including double folded binding and faux binding. You'll be provided with two mini quilts to use in class to practice. Then take them home as a reminder of your new skills, or use them as doll bedding or a small placemat! Please bring your sewing machine (with thread, attachments and power adapter), cutting mat, rotary cutter, and ruler. (A limited number of mats, cutters & rulers will be available to use during class.) A complete supply list will be provided at least one week before class.
