I'm re-visiting the Binding Lab as I'm about to bind another big quilt — 82 inches square. I had such a great result when I machined the binding on after your course. Even a QLD Quilters Inc. assessor complimented me on the machined binding. Result!!

Ali's tips for cutting, pressing, micro-adjusting, and stitching with precision.
Hi lovely! I've been sewing since I picked up some scissors at 7 years old — and I've loved it ever since.
I made my dolls clothes, my prom dress, and filled my home with handmade items. When it came to sewing my daughter's quilts — I had to figure out binding all by myself.
After decades of struggling to remember the process when I came ot the binding phase, I decided to go deeper — to find out the why behind how binding works.
All that is inside the Binding Lab — a place to help you understand what each variable actually does, so you can adjust it for any quilt.
“I am blown away by being able to stitch binding from the front and have it look so good on the back.”
Join Ali to gain a complete understanding of binding — and the confidence to finish every quilt beautifully.
