Better Bindings By Machine

Your quilt bindings are the final frame for all your hard work!  With the many useful techniques you'll learn in this class, your bindings can include  smooth mitered joints, nice and neat mitered corners, and a beautifully smooth joining of the tails.  We will also cover how to finish your bindings by hand or machine, and how to make a fun faux piped binding!
