If it looks o.k. restitch using the normal stitch length and if not, you can easily remove the areas that need adjustment and not the area that looks right. I have to do this a few times and after I got used to binding, I could just attach the binding without the "practice" run.
Hang in there, you will get it. Pam
Hmmmm, a little extra work but that definitely sounds like stitching once with big stitches to check will save me trouble... thanks!
