Quilt Binding! - A 2 part workshop with Johanna Masko

Classic, modern, straight, or shaped—bindings provide a clean finish to the  edges of your quilts. Starting with the classic double fold binding, we will explore a variety of binding techniques to make best  use of your time and to perfectly complement your quilts, whatever their style.  Starting with strip preparation and working with pre-quilted fabric, your  take-home samples can be kept on hand for convenient reference.
