Is there any other quilt binding service that anyone knows of?
Thanks for helping me think!
I've paid $.15 -$.17 in the past.
Total inches of the quilt binding X .15 = cost
These are reasonable charges here in Denver.
Not being happy with the results of my "paid" bindings, I'm back to doing them myself (I had wanted to pay to have them done because I have "bad hands" and could enjoy a finished quilt without the aching/cramping/numb hands of doing the hand work on the binding). Sigh.....still would love to find a good "hand stitch binding person".
What would you say is good handstitching vs not so good?
