Hanging
Sleeve: How to make a hanging sleeve to display your quilt
Backing: How to make a back if you need only one
seam
(This technique will work if you need only one seam
AND the fabric is not a directional print)
Borders: How to apply borders to avoid the dreaded
ripples and waves
This tutorial will teach you how to correctly measure and apply your borders
to avoid fullness. Rippled borders are a very common problem in quilt
construction. This short, easy method should help you in avoiding this
problem.
Binding:
How to make and apply binding that looks professional
This tutorial will help you make and
apply a professional looking straight grain, double fold binding. Your binding is just as important as your quilt. You should
give it as much attention to detail as you did the piecing. If you put a sloppy
binding on a beautiful quilt, the quilt will suffer and remember that judges look at bindings very closely. Below you will find
a list of tools you will need to make your own binding from fabric you choose.
This technique uses a great no-show join for the ends.
No one will be able to tell which join is the final one and judges will be amazed. I have tried
to give great detail so even a beginner quilter can understand easily and be
able to use this technique. If you really want a nice binding, then take the time and do it
right!
How to use your machine to quickly finish the
binding for non-competitive quilts.
