Ann Cummings

Skill Level:  Confident beginners on up — you only have to know how to use your sewing machine and sew in a straight line.

Come learn Ann’s easy way to add the finishing touch to your quilt.  The binding is the final frame and just as important as the rest of your quilt…  Ann’s stress-free binding techniques result in straight binding with gorgeous mitered corners.  You can even make scrappy bindings with different fabrics!

Learn how to choose the fabric, miter the corners, and make the beginning & ending blend together.  Finish either with decorative stitching or by hand sewing.
