Well, DogHouseMom, I got my binding done just fine, even got it sewn on with nice mitered corners. Re-watched three different videos on how to join the binding for that hidden look and had to do it four times. I finally laid it down, pressed the dumb 45 degree angle in each piece, basted it together and making sure (twice) it was in the right place, finally sewed it correctly and trimmed off the excess. Whew! My eyesight and age are getting to me!! Today is the handwork of whipping that sucker down!! I guess our "guides" want to keep us humble so we still fit our pants.
Thanks for sharing and God bless you and future projects.
