Finish It with Flair:
Binding Basics & Edges That Wow
November 11th
Ever finish a quilt top... then let it sit for months because binding feels like a chore?
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to finish your quilts with confidence—and a little extra flair!
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!

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR
November Workshop with Deonn / Deonn Stott
Deonn Stott is a lifelong quilter, teacher, and pattern designer behind QuiltScapes. With deep roots in 4-H and a passion for sharing what she knows, Deonn has taught quilting across the country and on international quilting cruises.
She’s especially known for her expertise in binding and finishing techniques—and loves helping quilters wrap up their projects with confidence and creativity.
When she’s not teaching or designing, you’ll find her quilting for others, performing with her musical family, or spoiling her grandkids.
Her warm teaching style and practical tips make her workshops feel like a chat with your favorite quilting friend—full of “a-ha!” moments and plenty of inspiration.
WORKSHOP FAQ'S
Do I need to prepare anything or buy special materials in advance?
There will be a materials list posted prior to the workshop dates, but they are not required. You can bring your materials and give your hand at trying the technique, or you can watch the workshop and afterwards re-watch while exploring it yourself.
What if I can’t attend the live session?
No worries if you can’t make the live session—the recording will be available within 24 hours of the workshop so you can watch and learn at your convenience. Plus, you are able to grab your supplies and stop and start as you watch while trying out whatever is being taught.
Do I already need to know this technique?
No! This is what is great about Patchworkers Plus. We bring the guests and put on workshops allowing you to explore and try out new things, without the travel and extra teacher fees. Come participate live, watch the replay and give what’s taught a try on your own terms – surrounded by a community of support when you need it.
What else do I get with a PLUS membership?
SO MUCH. In addition to the ever-growing library of workshops available on-demand, we offer sewing days, a book club, show & tell evening, and more quilty cheer-leading supporting you than you’ll know what to do with!
I’m pretty shy and not comfortable being on camera or speaking up in groups.
It takes everyone a few minutes to get settled and used to sharing and being on camera. You are not alone in this hesitation. It is optional, but we do encourage you to try it. It really helps with building friendships and especially wonderful when it’s show and tell time as the inspiration from others projects and progress is a treat you don’t want to miss out on.
I’m not great with technology. What if I have trouble joining the workshop?
I completely understand that technology can be a bit daunting. That’s why I’ll provide clear, easy-to-follow instructions for joining the workshop. And if any issues come up, I’ll be here to help you out. Ensuring you have a smooth experience is my top priority.

Please note that due to the nature of digital products, payments are non-refundable.

One of the benefits of joining the membership earlier rather than later is that you lock in the cost at which you join. As the pattern and technique library grows and the value grows, the cost of the membership may increase – but YOUR monthly cost will stay the same as long as your payments are in good standing and you have not cancelled.
