Beautiful Binding - Class Content

I've heard many tales of woe from people who felt that they've ruined their quilts by not doing a good job of the binding. So, if you struggle with getting a neat finish on your binding then this is the class for you!

In this class we'll be taking a look at how to achieve beautiful binding on your projects, every single time! I'll show you my tips for getting perfectly mitred corners and show you how to avoid common pitfalls. I've also made a fun little binding calculator for those of you that hate figuring out how much binding you need to cut!

In this class you will learn:

About three of the most popular methods of binding used by quilters and the pros and cons of each type
How to make and apply three types of binding
How to achieve perfectly mitred corners

I've been teaching sewing, patchwork & quilting for over 10 years and I'm excited to help you.

I have absolutely LOVED helping every single one of my customers develop and improve their sewing, patchwork & quilting skills. It's truly rewarding to see students progress and have 'lightbulb moments'.

I love teaching, breaking topics down into bite-sized chunks and making it achievable for all! Since moving most of my teaching online it's been eye opening to realise that most people learn better this way: working at their own pace and having more time to practise; but still getting time with the teacher to ask questions.
