You’ve created your art quilt masterpiece – (but is it finished?)
This book provides solutions and information about how to bind, display, label, store and care for your precious work.
Art quilts can be bound or finished in myriad ways, and the two most common are outlined here, along with details on simple ways to display and travel with your quilt. After all, you want to take it to shows and competitions, don’t you, to show off your creation!
In this book you’ll discover:
- How to bind a quilt with simple mitered corners.
- How to blind face a quilt for a contemporary look.
- How to make a hanging sleeve for your quilt.
- How to label your quilt – don’t let your work get lost in time!
- How to make a quilt travel bag – protect your work when moving it around.
- How to care for your art and patchwork quilts – protect them for future generations to enjoy.
This short guide covers everything the beginner needs to finish and display their work professionally and in style.
Comprehensive diagrams and formulae are provided where appropriate.
It can be easy to become overwhelmed with all the options when first starting a new craft or pursuit, so this book does not contain every possible way of binding quilts – just two easy and effective methods that will be all you need for most projects.
Available formats: Kindle eBook and Paperback
For those who love ebooks, this book is perfect as there is nothing you need to print in order to follow the techniques. But I know many stitchers prefer a paperback edition, which is the reason for its inclusion!
