I sew my binding to the front then SID in the front and make sure to catch
the binding at the back. How do I make sure to catch the binding at the
back? I use lots of pins, then a thin line of Elmer's School glue, press,
remove the pins. Do this all around a a few feet at a time then start
sewing. Prepping takes longer than the sewing but it's so worth it.
Sometimes I might have to hand-stitch the corners but I'm not too anal
about it unless it really sticks out. For me the pinning is the most important
because that's where I check if the SID will cover it or not. If it's a little
too narrow I trim the batting a little as I go.
At first I would put a pin to see where the sewing line will go then it gets
easier and I can just feel it...like a nail length. I have short nails BTW. LOL
Does this makes sense? It would probably be easier if I could show you in
person. :)
