Wind your binding into a figure 8 so No twisting!
Hello and Happy Quilting New Year!
I wanted to share with you a video that shows how to wind your binding into a figure 8 shape. You will see as the binding is attached to the quilt, there is no twisting. I tried it and it works. My binding was 285". https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...ature=emb_logo Ps. I wanted to attach my photos of how my binding looked but am not successful. :( I went to attach the files under manage attachment and no success. |

i do photos from my computer and do go advanced, then browse and click on the photo, then be sure to Upload. can't help with phones though.

Interesting and I will give it a try the next time I do binding. As for posting a picture, I am waiting for my tech support on how to post from my IPad. You are not alone.

Thanks for posting Copycat. I’m definitely going to give it a try on my next project..

I wonder if you could do this with a "bow maker". the board with two pegs that you make bows with. When I get to my room today going to give it a try. Thanks for the idea

Thanks for posting this video. I make binding for a charity that I help but I generally send it in rolls (like the way jelly rolls are rolled up). The next time I send some binding I will include some like the video & see if they like them better than the rolls.

Photos of my binding wound into figure 8

Here are the photos of my binding wrapped in a figure 8. I really like this method that keeps the binding from getting tangled as you attach it to the quilt. I hope you try it out.

I'll check into that, when I was a lifeguard we were trained to coil our ropes in figure 8s.
I wrap mine around a piece of cardboard, I like to cut the cardboard around 10x18" long so I can easily count my yardage, but sometimes a smaller piece fits in the project box better. |
