Selvages when joining strips at 45*
When doing joins for straight grain binding, I like to leave the Selvages on the ends to aid in sewing the 45*. I let the selvages make an X on both sides, put the first X at my needle and the second X on the line on my painters tape. This gives a nice way to sew a perfect 45* and I trim away the extra with the selvages down to my 1/4 inch seam. I also chain piece the binding joins.[ATTACH=CONFIG]545520[/ATTACH]
