Definitely doing this again with Kathy.

I loved taking this class with Kathy. Having the ability to go back over the videos when I got stuck made it totally worth while. She shared so much information I was overwhelmed by the value from this class!  Not

Binding Basics and Beyond! The Perfect Finish To Your Quilt

June 12, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 12:30 pm CDT
$49.00

Join me as you learn the many options available to you to finish your quilts with style!

We will start with the basics of trimming your quilt top and preparing your binding strips (Both straight of grain and bias!).  We will also learn how to turn corners to create those perfect mitered corners on your  binding.  And how you can join your starting point and ending point for a no lump perfect finish!

Then we will explore multiple ways of binding your quilts that can bring a decorative element to the edge of your quilt.  Methods include:

  • Using your backing to bind your quilts.
  • Using cording to create a decorative element on your binding edge.
  • Flat fold piping as a decorative element on the edge of your quilt.
  • Using Lace & Rick Rack on the edge of your binding.
  • Using Striped fabrics for bindings – different looks you can achieve just by how you cut your binding strips.
  • Rounding corners on your quilt.
  • Scalloped edges on your quilt.
  • Making and adding Prairie Points to your quilt binding edge.
  • Adding Ruffles to your quilt edge.

So many ways you can take even a simple quilt to WOW!  Join me in this two session series.

Saturday June 12 from 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM CDT

Quiltworx Zen Garden
I really enjoyed our class in Shipshewana doing Zen Garden. I thought your teaching was right on. Loved all of your short cuts and tips so our projects would come out perfect. Even at home as I continue my project,

Applique the Quiltworx Way Class

I took the class to learn a applique technique that did not utilize fusible. I did not expect to learn how to use tools in new innovation ways. This was a WONDERFUL class. Well worth the price!!
