I guess I don't bind, because I bring it up from the backing fabric and fold over pin and then stitch it down with the machine. goes really fast that way. I also tie mh quilts as the people I sell to, don't want them flatten. want them puffy and cuddly. same with my baby quilts. which reminds me -- better get off my hinny and get started cutting for baby quilts. Hope everyone enjoyed the Moose pictures I posted yesterday. what an experience that was. will never see that again. Anyone who didn't see them check out MOOSE AND TWINS dated 8/19/2011.
