If your quilts wave, ripple, won’t lay flat, or mysteriously grow as you sew, this class is for you! Expert quilter, Kris Vierra, has a trunk full of samples and simple techniques for measuring and attaching borders correctly. Learn how to identify the most common piecing and border problems, then fix those issues before they ruin the final look of your quilt. Discover how to avoid stretched edges, correct fullness, and improve accuracy, creating quilts that stay square.

 

Kris will also share the little piecing habits that make a big difference, plus troubleshooting tips so you can quilt with confidence. As a bonus, we will explore creative edge treatments and finishes including prairie points, scallops, flanges, decorative bindings, and other fun alternatives to give your quilts personality and polish.

 

Your class kit includes Kris’s fantastic book Stress Free Quilting® Borders, Binding, and More.
