Beautiful work qltgrose. Would you explain the Shamber method of binding?
Thanks Kalama! Sharon sews her binding onto the back of the quilt and then wraps to the front, using a very fine line of Elmers glue and a hot dry iron to secure it until you can stitch it down by machine. I think this would work very well with straight grain binding, but the next time I use bias binding, I will stitch from the front and hand stitch it down in the back. I just didnt like how flat is was and I wasnt careful enough when putting the binding to front to keep it even between front and back. So I had to "pull" some of it apart on the left side and that of course, stretched the binding. The photo was taken after I washed and dried it, so it was still a bit damp. But you are absolutely correct, its not noticeable when on the bed and my dogs wont say a word
