In the Finish It class...

In the Finish It class... Finishing a quilt can feel like a whole different skill set from making the quilt top. In this class, we’re going to work through that entire second half of the process together.

  • BASTING - We’ll start by getting your quilt layers together. I’ll walk you through pin basting and spray basting, including a full wall basting demo, so you can choose the method that works best for you.

  • STRAIGHT LINE QUILTING - Learn how to set up your machine and quilt your project using approachable designs including organic wavy lines, quilting that follows your patchwork, grids, and stitching in the ditch.

  • FREE MOTION QUILTING - We’ll go from setup and the basics all the way into actual quilting designs. You’ll practice meanders, swirls, loopies, curls, leaves, succulents, feathers, combining designs, all over quilting, custom quilting, and more. We’ll also look at using rulers and quilting the foreground and background differently.

  • SQUARING + LABELING - Once the quilting is finished, I’ll show you how to square up your quilt and add a label before moving on to binding.

  • BINDING - You’ll learn how to make and attach your binding, then choose from three different finishing methods: machine binding, chunky stitch binding, or traditional hand binding.

Are you ready to finish your own quilts?

You don’t need to feel intimidated by the finishing part of quiltmaking. Finish It gives you multiple techniques to try, plenty of demonstrations to watch, and the freedom to figure out which methods feel best for you.

By the end of class, you’ll have the skills to take a quilt from finished top to a quilt that’s quilted, squared, labeled, bound, and ready to use.
