I put the binding on a new quilt last night - using the tutorial I mentioned earlier. The binding is perfectly matched and my mitered corners look really good.
My problem now is the final stitching. I sew the binding to the back and then turn it over and sew the front side. I can't seem to avoid having the stitching show through on the back. On this quilt, the binding is red and the back is blue. If I used blue thread in the bobbin there would be blue in some spots on the binding. I used red so now I have a lot of red stitching showing on the backing. It's a dilemma that I haven't overcome yet.
A friend recommended that I use monofilament but I am making charity quilts for Quilts for Kids and they don't want you to use that - and they don't want anything hand-stitched.
