I was thinking the same thing, but really, the suggestion to use invisible thread was an aha moment for me. I recently bought a device for stitching the binding in the ditch on the front as shown in the video, but without a flange. I still have a hard time hitting that ditch. Why didn't I think of invisible thread before? Now I have some questions: If you've used it, is there a downside? I remember having a blouse that had invisible thread used to stitch in the label, and the thread end was scratchy. Is that a possible problem on a quilt? Also, would it hold up as well as normal thread?
I will definitely use this method on my next small project. Thanks for posting this excellent video! Also, I browsed around the website some more, and there's some neat eye candy and inspiration as well as some other tutorials to check out.
