Carolyn Hutchinson’s Binding Class Description:
I love to bind quilts. There’s something relaxing and exciting about adding those final
stitches to complete a project. For some reason, a lot of people don’t seem to share my
enthusiasm. This class is to help eliminate the dread and questions about binding. We will
cover four different techniques for binding. As you try each of these and understand when
you might want to use each, you will discover your favorite method. To maximize the use
of our time, we will be binding four potholders during the class.

Supply kits are $29 and required for this class. Kits include
four potholders that are quilted and ready for binding and the “Perfect Binding” pattern by
Carolyn’s In Stitches”.
