I solved my binding problem
I don't mind doing binding ..... except, when I'm sewing it on I get it all tangled up in my lap, on the floor, etc. And, I know I've seen suggestions about how to handle that problem but I might have missed this one. I know I'm not the first to discover this but I thought I'd pass it along because.... It Works!! At least, for me, it works.
I was cutting the bias binding and there wasn't much fabric left so I just continued to cut it to use all the fabric. Once I pieced the strips together and pressed it, I had quite a bit. ( I still have more to add as you can see in the picture.) Anyway..... and here's the discovery, I used a large rubber band, the kind you get around asparagus in the store, and it kept all the binding neatly folded in my lap. When I wanted more binding, it was easy to take the rubber band off and then put it back on. It's not tight on the binding so it won't leave a bunch of wrinkles.
I know this is simple.... don't know why my old brain never thought of it before.
