Join in to learn Anne Goy’s Crisscross binding or the Secret Belgian binding!

In 1986, Anne Goy created the Crisscross binding which was later dubbed the Secret Belgian binding by Hedi Kyle.

This lay-flat structure is very convenient for all kinds of uses, and the exposed sewing allows for exciting design choices!

Today it is no longer a secret and we will be making a variation on this popular binding.
