Quilt Basics: Finish Your Quilt: Baste, Quilt & Bind

Class Length: 3.5 hours
Number in Class: 8
Entry Level: You will need to have completed one of our ‘Sewing Machine Basics’ courses or have similar experience with a machine. This means you must be able to thread the machine on your own, wind a bobbin, and go forwards and backwards with straight stitch.
Materials: Not Included: Students will need to bring fabric and thread from home or buy from the shop. Please see materials list.
Tutor: Jemma Dell

With this great intro to finishing your quilt you will learn the principles of creating your quilt sandwich, quilting using a walking foot and (non-bias) binding. You will leave the class with a table mat and the knowledge to scale up and finish your own quilt.

This class is great for those students who have created a quilt top and want to learn how to finish.

Fabric: 2 x 12” squares of quilting cotton, plain or printed, for the front and back of your table mat (2 x fat quarters will work well)
