Ready to wrap up your quilts with confidence (and maybe a little flair)?

We’ve got something so good lined up for our Patchworkers Plus members—you’re going to love it!

This month’s exclusive workshop is taught by the fabulous Deonn Stott of QuiltScapes, and it’s all about one of the most overlooked (and sometimes feared!) parts of quilting… binding! But don’t worry—Deonn is here to walk us through it all with her signature mix of practical tips, creative ideas, and quilted eye candy.

You’ll learn everything from how to get crisp mitered corners and a fuss-free final splice, to over 16 alternate finishing techniques that’ll make your quilts pop. She’s bringing her book, her samples, and her trunk show magic right to your screen.

If you’ve ever felt stuck at the finish line—or just want to spice up your bindings—this is the workshop for you. And it’s all part of your Patchworkers Plus membership!

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to finish your quilts with confidence—and a little extra flair!

Ever finish a quilt top… then let it sit for months because binding feels like a chore?

Your instructor, Deonn Stott, will start by walking you through her favorite binding tips, tricks, and must-know techniques—so you can finally master those mitered corners and tackle that final splice without the frustration.

Then, she’ll take you beyond the basics with a trunk show and live demo featuring 16+ alternate edge-finishing techniques from her book, Ultimate Binding & Edge-Finishing Guide for Quilting & Sewing. You’ll see creative binding ideas using pieced strips, specialty fabrics, and solutions for curves and odd angles—all shown on real quilts and mini samples so you can see each method in action.

Whether you’re still stitching your way through your first few quilts or looking to add a creative twist to your finishing touches, this workshop will leave you inspired and ready to wrap up your next quilt beautifully!

How did you get your start in sewing?

Quilting and sewing is a tradition in my family, going back 5 generations! I helped tie my first quilt at age 8, and learned to sew from my mother, and in the 4-H program. The sewing room was the gathering place.

What interests do you pursue when you’re not quilting?

Singing, cooking, baking, reading, traveling.

Give us a quirky fact about yourself

I’m a mother of triplet daughters!

Have anything fun coming up or just happening that you’d like to share?

My book is now on its FOURTH printing, and still doing well!

I’m playing with a couple of new quilt designs. I try to give myself a daily challenge in my Electronic Quilt software.

Do you have a favorite or a few favorite notions? What are they?

Magic Crafting Spray by Faultless, a good, sharp seam ripper, Kai scissors, Clover silk pins.

What are your favorite parts of quilting?

All of it – dreaming, designing, making, quilting, binding, giving…and teaching quilting!

Where do you find inspiration?

Everywhere! Family, Guilds, online groups, quilt shows, and a lot of times, the fabric itself inspires me.

Wrapping It Up (Literally!)

Whether you’re just getting the hang of mitered corners or ready to try something totally new with your quilt edges, I hope this post has inspired you to give your bindings a little extra love. It’s easy to think of binding as “just the last step,” but with a few clever tricks (and some creative flair), it can become one of your favorite parts of the whole quilting process.

So go ahead—pull out that quilt top you’ve been avoiding, try a new edge finish, or finally tackle those tricky curves. And if you want even more tips, inspiration, and a whole trunk show of creative finishes, don’t miss the Binding & Alternate Endings workshop with Deonn Stott inside Patchworkers Plus!

You’ll learn everything from the basics to bold new binding styles—and walk away ready to finish your quilts like a pro.
