1 SPOT LEFT!!! Binding Basics Friday, December 6th, 1:00pm-3:30pm Class Fee: $20.00, plus supplies Does adding the binding to your quilt get delayed because you just don't want to do it? Delphine Ren-Miller enjoys adding the binding because it means the quilt is almost ready to use and a finished quilt is a good thing. Delphine will lead you from cutting straight grain and bias binding after deciding how wide to make it and why there are differences in binding widths. Then you will add binding to small quilt sandwiches so that you have samples to take home with you plus written directions. While the binding will be applied by machine it will be finished both by hand and machine.
