Thanks Sweetie. I'm always evesdropping. That's how we learn. The binding tip is something I carried over from the garment-sewing days. On garments I would use the zipper foot so that I could get in close, but I've never used it on quilt binding. I try to always use the walking foot and move the needle as close as I can get it.

And Patty your ties look nice. I was wondering how long you leave the ends after you've tied the knots. I'm doing one right now with perle cotton and am cutting the tails about 1/2 inch. I hope that's not too short. If so, I'll wait until they come apart to redo them. I've been working on that sucker for almost a year and the end is in sight.
Hi Gail, When you were talking to Patty about the nice looking ties, were you referring to the gold ones in the picture on page 4 of this post??? I'm confused.
Yes. Oops. Was I speaking to the wrong person? Yes, the gold ties on page 4.
