Thanks for all the replies. The only way I’m going to know if it makes a difference is to try it. I’m making a small preemie quilt for donation so will see how I like it.
I really don’t mind the ironing step and my bindings lie flat (I think ).. I will try it and then I’ll know.
Yes QuiltE,you made sense. I don’t use any clips at all when using the ladder stitch. The binding keeps folding along as I go. Hopefully the picture shows how you don’t need clips. I hated them as the thread was always catching in them.
