I’ve had several people tell me they’ve never heard of this binding tip, so I thought I’d share.
After I sew my binding to the quilt and before I hand sew it to the back I give it a press away from the top with a hot iron. It just makes sewing it that much easier.
I really enjoy a little bit of hand sewing.
I’ve been listening (here, here and here) and reading a lot lately about the impact of social media on our lives and had big crack up at how many comments I got to this on Instagram.
It’s always good to keep it real;)
Have a good week peeps.
Thank you for the binding tip. I will use it on the quilt I am finishing.
Id o this on quilts too. Maybe I first picked up the tip from you, I can’t remember. It really does make a significant difference.
I have done this forever. I am surprised when I find this is not done. I also machine sew miter corners for my binding. They make a very nice, neat miter over just folding the corners.
I have done that SO MANY times ; )
I always appreciate little glimpses into what it’s REALLY like when working on a project. Thank you! I’m getting ready to bind my very first quilt so I’ll be sure to use your tip!
Oh good luck!
