1. Why do you make your own binding? Is it just more customized? Cant you just buy the stuff that I see in the store?


2. What are blender fabrics?

3. What ruler/cutting mat size do you all recommend(real limited budget,so I know the big sizes are out of the question ).

4. Does it matter what size your rotary cutter is? I have one, but have no idea what size it is- i forgot LOL

5. Any helpful beginner tips or timesavers? Anything you found out the hard way?

6.With all the fabrics,batting,threads, tools etc... seems like its not a inexpensive hobby to start. Any tips to share on how you keep the cost down to a reasonable amount? (if I start shopping for fabric like I do scrapbook paper~I KNOW i'm in trouble :mrgreen:



Thanks everyone for your help!
Question !. I tried using the stuff that was pre-made, tried real hard, gave up and made my own. I learned a good method on TV, and will just stick to that. I ue sizing to press it in half after I cut it, and never have any problems and I am NO expert!
