since you shared yours, judy, i'll share mine. i made a small wall hanging for my sister and i had sewn the binding on after straightening the sides, then i noticed it didn't look even so i trimmed all the way around (mind you, i had not done the hand sewing) and turned the edge over to do the sewing on the back. i had cut off all the miters for the corners! so now i have to take the complete binding off (rippit) and make a new one. so no, you are not the only one having an affair with jack the ripper! boooo!! turn the light out ! night!!
