Eastern Branch "Finishing School" with Tracy Wardle

Finishing School – Fabulous Finishes for Fantastic Quilts One Day Workshop with Tracey Wardle

What to expect

Are you dissatisfied with the finish of your quilts? Is the miter not quite square? Do you want to add a little pizzazz to your binding? This class will help you to make your finishes fabulous!

In this class we will:

create samples of 2¼” and 3½” binding with crisp, square mitred corners

3½” mitred binding

learn how to make a perfect flange and a snazzy piped binding

Piped binding

make a clean, sharp full-faced edge binding.

Full faced edge, finished with hand stitching

Make a faced edge with a frame

Faced edge frame finish

This is a techniques-based class where you will create samples of each technique to go with the extensive and fully illustrated notes provided so that you will create your own reference library of finishing techniques to consult each time you’re ready to finish a quilt.

Note The quilt sandwiches for the samples should be lightly quilted, either straight-line stitched or with FMQ.
