GingerK ... that makes total sense! Would certainly make for a finer and neater finish. I guess I just followed the leader when I was taught, and did not really think otherwise. Though that should have been pretty obvious to me being that like you, I use the ladder stitch when hand binding. Silly Me!
Will definitely do this the next time I do EPP. THANKS!!
