Beginning Quilting Part 2 - Finishing the Quilt

This class is a follow up to our Beginning Quilting Part 1 where we cut and pieced our quilt top. In this class we will learn to select and cut backing & binding, do basic machine quilting with a walking foot, and get started on binding our quilt for a beautiful finish. The perfect next step for anyone who has taken Part 1, but also great for anyone who wants to learn to finish their quilts on their domestic machine.
This class is two afternoons, July 17-18, 1-4 PM.
