For quite a long time, I hated to do the bindings. But, knowing I can not afford to pay someone to do it for me and I love to gift finished quilts; I began to do some research. My first discovery was using Elmers Washable School Glue instead of pins...it makes everything so much faster and neater in my opinion. The second was learning how to make Continuous Bias Bindings. There are several videos and posts about it, but I was really inspired by this one.

for some reason on my screen, the video is about halfway down the page....so you may have to scroll down.
Little by little, my bindings are looking prettier and I am enjoying the process more all of the time.
