I used to hate bindings too. I made a Hawaiian quilt by Nancy Chong of Pacific Rim Quilting and it came with a DVD. She is a wonderful teacher. So now, when it comes to binding, I just put in that DVD for a refresher course... because my mind doesn't retain things as it used to... seems like it's a long time between bindings! :roll: They go on so easily now. I cut my binding at only 1 3/4". She shows how to make mitred corners, and finish it so it lays nice and flat... no bunching, no pulling. I have not seen the tutes on you tube, or looked at the other links yet, but will do that. I'm always open to new ideas, although the way I learned is so darn easy! Love doing the bindings now. And those clippies are the greatest, instead of using pins. Love them! :thumbup: The glue thing sounds good too. Will look into that!
