Newbie Question
#12
Don't apologize for asking a question! That's what we are here for! I have only made bias binding once, it was for some placemats that had a curved edge. Everything else has been straight binding, cut selvage to selvage. I also prefer the 2 1/2 inch width. I would suggest looking up some other ways to do the binding, and find the one you are most comfortable with. There really is no "right" or "wrong" way to do it, just as long as it works for you!
Also, there is a definite learning curve to quilting, and I don't think any one of us knows everything! It's just like anything else, practice makes better and better (I don't think it's made anyone perfect! lol)
We are always here for you, keep asking questions in your quilting journey! It's how we learn!
Ok, sorry for this post being so long!! :oops:
Also, welcome to the board!! Glad to have you with us!

Don't be scared of the run of the mill sewing machine. That's basically what I've used for 15 yrs. Just don't try FMQ off the bat, use your walking foot and go slow so you get the feel of it. Just make a sandwich and practice with your walking foot. I bet if you try SITD or outline you wouldn't find that as hard as you thought!!!
Please don't get me wrong, if I have the time handquilting is my preferred method. Very relaxing!!
Good Luck!!!! :thumbup:

Hi CindySue!
You are very smart to walk away for awhile. I can't tell you how many things I should have walked away from for a bit until I learned that things seem to look better when I took a break. Clears the mind!!
Good luck and ask away!! We do it all the time.
Hugs, Sue
