Instead of pinning, which I despise--I always manage to draw blood!-- I glue basted the binding. It was absolute perfection.

Do you have other blog posts where you talk about your tools, steps, processes etc? Like what iron you use, ironing board, machine etc. and when you do iron and do you iron seams open or to one side alternating rows etc. I would love to glean from you anything about your how-to, because I truly admire your work. Please send me to other links in your blog about any of this, or consider doing a post on "Rita's how-to" thank you for your contribution to the sewing world! You are appreciated!lisacraftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16377100159111576286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027731275129684828.post-43381075808615081012015-12-10T04:24:45.889+11:002015-12-10T04:24:45.889+11:00This is awesome!

I have always done a bias-handsewn binding. Since I was making a baby quilt and figured it would go through many washings, I wanted to sew it entirely by machine. Even on the first go-around I was able to cut the crossgrain strips at 2.25 inches and it turned out perfect. Thank you for sharing your expertise!Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01891350009096000321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027731275129684828.post-4790423333130254552015-08-15T05:51:34.552+10:002015-08-15T05:51:34.552+10:00I've only been quilting a year.

I had been sewing the binding on the back of the quilt first and then stitching it to the front of the quilt.

I love the machine quilting. Hand quilting is ONLY great when I go to the doctor with my parents (both 92) and sit for hours.... especially that retina doc for mom's macular degeneration (holy cow) Anyway, another cool thing with machine binding is that you can make a double row of stitching on some things and it looks great!<br />Thank you for everything you share. It is greatly appreciatedRosemary B❤️https://www.blogger.com/profile/17792395820711368533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027731275129684828.post-48241077575880469092014-11-27T23:36:33.555+11:002014-11-27T23:36:33.555+11:00It works!
