Not all quilts need to end with a plain binding! In this class, taught by art quilter Heather Thomas, you will learn 10 different techniques for adding edges and finishes to your quilted projects:

Satin Stitch with Rattail
Two Toned Double French Binding
Sandwich Facing with a Wavy Edge
Gathered Ribbon Edging
Single Fold Hand Beading Binding
Raw Edge Sectioned Binding
Iron-on Curved Edge Binding
Ripped Iron-on with Twisted
Couched Fabric
Single Fold Ripped Edge with Fray & Couched Ribbon

Whether it’s a Two Toned Double French Binding or Burnt Edges, each of these techniques can add some extra beauty or funkiness to the edges of your quilts.

Heather will go over, in detail, using Rattail, Iron-on adhesives, hand beading and lots more. This is a can’t miss, fabulous class; packed full of interesting and unusual endings!
