Quilting 101- Batting, Basting, and Binding
You did it! Your quilt top is complete! Let's see it through to the finish line. This free online class will give you my best tips of choose batting, my 2 methods to baste quilt layers to prep them for quilting, and how to create quilt labels.
I am so excited to share this class you!
This is my favorite quilt batting, and my preferred way to baste the layers together. I show techniques and examples with video and downloadable, clickable PDF documents.
As I new quilter, years ago, I had questions. Stacking and holding the three layers of a quilt together- the quilt top, the middle batting layer, and the quilt back- and getting them to stay together? That was next level stuff that I didn't really understand. While I was at it, I also had questions about quilt batting and what to use.
If you have the same confusion I did, this class will help you gain understanding and insight into how to pick batting, and how to create your "quilt sandwich".
