I do need to work on my binding skills (never having done it before...) but also, I want to cover the treadle top more completely. It's been sitting up there (during the week, my sewing room is Hubby's office) and the more I look at it, the more I think I'm going to finish the edge with half-axes to square it off, then bind it.
It'll be a learning process, no matter what I do! :-D
