Just grab some scraps & you'll see it happen. It's hard to
imagine but happens nicely in your hands. I love to have
a wavy edge by using a scallop stitch.
Please let me know how this works for you.
By George, I think I've got it!!! :)
I now have this nice binding in my hand, which is basically two bindings sewn together. Right? It has a finished seam on one side (outside?) and has a neatly folded edge on the other side (quilt side?).
I assume the folds would then be put around the edge of the quilt, one folded side on back and one on front - then....How would you then sew it on?
I think this is an awesome method for getting a two colored binding. I happen to pick up two different colors of scraps to try it out, and I have a beautiful binding of yellow on one side and green on the other.
Do I have it right now? Whew!!! I'm happy if I can learn one new thing a day...and this one is it for me!
Thanks for hanging in there with me :)

P.S. Would you happen to have a picture of a completed one?
