I used to make costumes and tried and hated most of the invisible thread THEN I found Sulky POLYESTER invisible and really like it. If I were you I would toss that old invisible thread. Most of it is nylon and breaks terrible.
Sulky will make you a happy quilter. It is available at JoAnn's |
Thanks for the great tutorial!

What a great idea thanks

Love using this method! Great tutorial - much clearer than most.

Thank you so much for this new way to bind a quilt. For baby gift reviving blankets I sew 1 miter squares of flannel together binding with satin blanket binding. Machine sew on the front, flip over and hand sew onto back. Takes me 4 hrs to hand sew the binding on one blanket. I am so looking forward to trying this new method. Took me a bit of studying to figure it out but I think I have the gist of it now.

Great tutorial. This is the only way I do my bindings now. It is a great way to bind.

Thanks so much for this tutorial!

I love this idea. I am running short on fabric for a binding and have plenty of a darker color...this will help solve my problem and add an interesting element.

Love those flange bindings.
If you are sewing with a 1/4 inch seam, 2 1/2 inches is too wide for the binding strip. You will not get a full binding. I have found that 2 inches makes a neater binding and the binding looks fuller. |
