Good enough
When doing the machine binding with flange, I almost always have to strive to let it go. I am doing my regular 45 degree join and it can be tricky to get the flange lining up perfectly. I did this one today and although it isn't perfect, it's good enough. Does anyone have a sure fire way to get it perfect every time?[ATTACH=CONFIG]603637[/ATTACH]

Tartan - I use glue when I do bindings. Especially when I do the flange binding. That way when I get to the corner it is already at the 45* angle & matches up perfectly. Just a tiny drop of glue at the corner & heat set it w/an iron.

I think I found Charisma's post: Quick Machine Binding with Flange
Is this also what is called a 'double binding'? Or is that something different...?

Funny you should ask! I just watched this tutorial this morning and had to go find it again. It looks like there is a certain point where the pins go in. It's hard to tell as there is another 45 degree join in the video.Wish it wasn't there.

It looks like the join might not be a full 45 degree join. I can't quite tell. The last time I used flange binding, I had to use a straight join.
A second one here.

Fons & Porter had a nice alternative in their magazine that I've kept on "file." You cut two strips, one the accent, the other the binding. The accent side is about 1/2" wider than the other. You sew them together lengthwise and then fold and sew as usual, sewing first the back, then the front. Looks very nice.
