Basic Binding

Come learn the basics of bindings, facings, flanges and other edge finishes for quilts.  Students will learn several different techniques from connecting binding strips, putting in an accent piece, making a flange, constructing a two-pieced binding, attaching prairie points and facing a quilt.  After learning these techniques, the design choices are endless!  Each student will make samples of each technique to take home for reference.
