questions about a kitchenaid cover
Hello, all,
I'm going to make a quilted cover for my mom for her KitchenAid. I've found a couple tutorials online, and I like parts of each of them. One called for the use of piping around the edges and I'm not sure I want to do that. Another, you sew the quilted pieces together and turn it inside out, so the edges are inside - that one is nice, but I would like the edges to have a more finished look. Also, what happens to the edges if you wash it? I'd probably have to do a zigzag stitch or something.
So here's what I want to do. Make the quilted pieces and sew them together with the raw edge out, and then bind them like i would the raw edge of a regular quilt. Do you think that would work? I'll be sewing two quilt sandwiches together, which I'm thinking I can do with my walking foot; I'll have to try it before I commit myself. Do you think the binding over the thickness of two sandwiches would be too bulky?
Would love to hear your thoughts - thank you!
