We’ll take a look at machine binding, scallops and prairie points, faux piping, specialty fabrics, pieced binding, and other embellished edge-finishes.

Instructor bio:

Raised on a small farm in southeast Idaho, I'm one of those kids who grew up under grandma's quilt frames.  The sewing room was always the gathering place.  I helped to tie my first quilt at age 8, learned to sew in 4-H as a kid, and have developed a love for every step of the quilting process from designing and creating to quilting and sharing.  It is my delight to discover and share time-saving, budget-friendly tips, tricks, and modern tools that can help make quilting so enjoyable.  Every day is a good day when you quilt!
