About hating binding. I just found something called a flange. Search: Binding Flange Charismah. The title is Quick Machine Binding with Flange. If you aren't particular about having to hand stitch the binding on the back this in an alternative. You get to attach the binding by machine without the stitches showing on the front of the quilt. I'm trying it with my current quilt project. I'm hoping to like it!
It looks like the same method I use, only with one piece of fabric in stead of two. I have -never- hand stitched a binding, and I'm OK with it.
I'm getting better with it, its just that it seems to take a lot longer than it should. Like the cutting and the piecing for me. With practice though, it's getting easier and faster.
I had problems with this as I'm not to good with iphoto but numbers 1,2 and 3 are off to the left hand side and they got cut off.
If you can read how I numbered them I'm actually getting 14. That's quick and dirty, just scanning in a lined drawing. I don't have E-Quilter because they don't write it for mac. See what you get via EQ.
Oh! Aren't you a sweetie! I was thinking the same thing as what you described, but it's so nice to have a visual. I will play with EQ a little more, either tonight or tomorrow night now, and post what I find. This should also fix my custom layout issues with EQ, so I hope to make some progress now for sure!
