Final Thoughts

What You Will Learn?

  • If you have ever attempted to make a quilt, you may have found that the pattern includes very detailed instructions for creating a quilt top, but when it comes to finishing a quilt, the guidance is often limited. When I made my first quilt, I felt completely stuck after completing the quilt top, unsure of where to find information about what to do next. This is the class that I wish existed when I was first learning to quilt. In this class, I walk you through exactly how to finish your quilt, offering a variety of finishing options along the way. Whether you are new to quilting or are an experienced quilting hoping to refine your skills, this class will guide you through each step of finishing your quilt. .
  • If you have completed a quilt top and are looking for guidance on how to finish it, or if you are looking to learn a new finishing technique, this is the class for you!.
  • This class is the second part of a two part series called Quilting for Beginners that breaks down the entire process of creating a quilt from beginning to end. In part one, I teach everything you need to know to get started and guide you through the process of creating a quilt top. If you are brand new to quilting, I recommend starting there..
  • If you have completed part one of this series or have a quilt top that you are ready to finish, then come join me in part two of the course, where I will show you how to create a quilt sandwich, offer two methods for basting your quilt, demonstrate hand and machine quilting techniques, and teach you how to bind your quilt. There is also a special bonus at the end where I will show you how to add your own special touch to a quilt with a personalized label..
  • Topics covered in this class include:.
  • No quilting experience is required; however, it will be helpful to have basic knowledge of how to operate your sewing machine and to be able to create a basic straight stitch.  Come join me!.
  • If you don't have a quilt top complete, be sure to check out Quilting for Beginners Part 1, where I walk you through the entire process of creating a quilt top..
