Piping Hot Binding Supply List Piped bindings add spark and a professional finish to any style piece. Every detail of binding and tiny, perfect piping will be covered in class with step-by-step demos and printed instructions. Machine differences will be addressed so students will be successful with their own machines. Students work on their practice piece to achieve making perfect piping, preparing the quilt, applying binding, mitering corners, joining tails, and finishing for a show-quality back. Variations will be on display and discussed. Many major award-winners are using this technique to achieve stunning results! If class is at a conference, classroom machines may be available. Please check with class organizer. If classroom machine is used, items marked with an "*" will be provided.

Irons and ironing boards will be needed, though not every student needs his/her own. Students may wish to quilt layers prior to class but this is not required. This is a sample piece, not a masterpiece! Simple is fine. Don't square up piece or trim away extra batting and backing before class.		return to "Home"		return to "Classes"
