Turn Unfinished Quilts Into Treasured Projects

 

Included in the finishing and binding tutorial course is how to measure, cut and apply a double-fold binding with diagonal seams that keep your corners bulk-free, and also how to create mitered corners and finish your binding! Then choose to add some fun to bindings with covered cording, lace, rick-rack and three special effects created with stripes.

Cording inserted into your binding creates texture and contrast, while lace accents add the perfect touch to a quilt for a baby shower or a special little girl. Ric-rac brings a wonderful sense of movement to your binding. Create different looks using a single striped fabric.

Idea Seen On PinterestMake and apply bias binding for curved corners that lay flat, scalloped edges are a beautiful finish. Once you’ve conquered bias binding, you’ll learn to finish quilts with three types of prairie point, and even with cute ruffles, making sleeves for hanging your quilts, and labels to preserve their precious details.

Idea On PinterestThere’s a wonderful peace in quilting, only to hastily complete the last steps of the quiltmaking process. Mimi’s tutorials cover approximately three and half hours of videos in total, covering every aspect of finishing, as well as inspiration with examples of how to turn UFO’s into the fabulous finished projects you set out to create.

Mimi’s inspiration:

Ending a quilt is a process.There’s a joy in the doing. So, if it must end, let it be a happy ending.

Mimi’s book “Happy Endings – Finishing The Edges of Your Quilt” released way back in 2013, is still a favorite today. ‘Happy Endings’ has tips to give you choices and easy to follow step-by-step directions, so that this stage of making your quilt can also be creative.
