What to Expect
This standalone skill class meets on Sunday, December 6, from 1–4pm. This class combines demonstration and guided practice. The instructor will demonstrate various binding methods and hand-finishing techniques to secure quilt edges. Participants will spend the session applying these methods to their own work or practice materials.
