Thursday, February 19, 2026
9:00 AM - 4:30 PM Eastern time
Seats Available?: Sold Out Required Supplies: - Practice quilt tops and bindings (see linked PDF) - Small square ruler with 45-degree line for measuring and marking - Turning tool with point - similar to Dritz Quilting Point Turner & Creaser - Small sharp fabric scissors - Fine-point fabric marking pen (e.g. Frixion, purple air-erase, or blue wash-out) - Basic sewing supplies (pins, seam ripper, etc.) - Sewing thread
Prep Requirements: The pre-class prep for this workshop is significant, and is detailed in the linked PDF. If students do not wish to do this prep, they may pre-order a kit by January 1, 2026.
Give your quilts a fresh finish with techniques that go beyond the classic binding. Learn how to create sleek, borderless edges using facings or take your design all the way to the edge with pieced bindings that match your quilt top. Explore how to perfectly align seams—whether perpendicular, angled, or even at the corners with two different binding colors.
This session is perfect for quilters who want more creative options for finishing their quilts! Students should be comfortable with the basics of applying a standard double-fold binding and ready to level up their edge-finishing game.
Sewing machines generously provided by event sponsors!
