Classic, modern, straight, or shaped—bindings provide a clean finish to the edges of your quilts. Starting with the classic double fold binding, we will explore a variety of binding techniques to make best use of your time and to perfectly complement your quilts, whatever their style. Starting with strip preparation and working with pre-quilted fabric, your take-home samples can be kept on hand for convenient reference.
