Decorative Quilt Binding



You already know how to attach a binding. How can we jazz it up a bit? 

You will learn: 
  • Flange Binding
  • Big Stitch Binding
You should know: 
  • Cutting and joining 2.5" strips at 45 degree angle
  • Attaching binding to your quilt top
  • Joining beginning and end of binding together
    • We will not be going over joining ends in this class. Please attend our Quilt Binding 101 for these lessons.

Things you need for this class:
  • Machine in good working order with fresh needle
  • 1/4" piecing foot**
  • Open toe applique foot**
  • Long ruler, at least 12x18", up to 6.5x24"
  • Rotary cutter
  • Small mat, if you have one (there are some available)
  • Small pressing mat and mini iron, if you have one (there will be irons, but having one at your station reduces the need to be up and down constantly)
  • Hand sewing needle for heavy thread - think embroidery floss
  • Neutral thread
  • Wonder clips, if you have them
    • OR pins, or snap hair clips, if you don't have wonder clips
  • Fabric and batting:
    • Please use up your batting and fabric scraps to make 2 quilt sandwiches approximately 5x20". 
    • Bring 40"(WoF) pre-cut 2.5" strip, or equal length of joined pieces
    • In contrasting colours:
      • 1 colour - 2@ 40"(WoF) strip cut to 1 5/8", thread to match this colour
      • 1 colour - 2@ 40"(WoF) strip cut to 1 3/8"

**If you don't have one of these or don't know quite what you should be bringing, contact us asap!
