Lecture: No Tails Binding
Teacher: Linda Hungerford
Time: 1pm (approx.. one hour, with regular Guild meeting to immediately follow)
Cost: No additional cost for all Guild members!
Size Limit: All members are invited to attend.
Lecture Description: Every quilter probably knows several ways to sew binding to a quilt, but this method will have you exclaiming, “Ah-ha! How clever!”
With this triple-fantastic finish you’ll get:
1) a squared up quilt
2) binding with machine-sewn corners, and
3) fluffy binding, stuffed with batting
So, say so-long to tangled starting and ending tails, and off-kilter quilts. Stop folding ho-hum corners. Let wimpy, unstuffed binding be a thing of the past. Zoom-in to see “No Tails Binding: Mitered Corners by Machine” with step-by-step photos and descriptions to sew beautiful binding on all your quilts.
Linda began sewing when she was 13 years old. Her first garment was a tent dress with a zipper! Then, prompted by a resurgence of interest in quiltmaking attributed to the 1976 Bicentennial, Linda taught herself how to make a quilt. In 1998 she began domestic machine quilting them.
After earning a journalism degree in 2000, Linda to begin writing articles and patterns for numerous quilting magazines - American Patchwork & Quilting; Love of Quilting; Quilter’s Newsletter; and American Quilter; among others. In 2005 she began teaching five-week beginner quiltmaking lessons, and as a result, was invited to write First Time Quiltmaking (Landauer Publishing, 2006). It can still be found at Joann Fabrics!
Her quilts have won awards at national shows such as Machine Quilter’s Showcase, Home Machine Quilter’s Show, Road to California, and AQS; and were displayed at three Quilt Cons. One of her quilts is included in the MQG book Modern Quilts: Designs of the New Century (C&T Publishing, 2017).
After a 2012 move from West Des Moines, Iowa to The Villages, Florida, Linda organized the Central Florida Modern Quilt Guild chapter where she is currently media coordinator. Linda became a member of SFMQG in 2020 to take advantage of our virtual events.
