Woohoo!!! I saw the easy method for connecting the binding at my fave LQS [now gone] several years ago and then promptly forgot how. I like to have handwork on hand as well as machine stuff. Makes me feel "not guilty" about sitting in front of the tele watching movies to have handwork going. Make any sense? My Mom used to ask "Don't you have something constructive to do?" when I would sit and watch cartoons.
