How do you finish sewing the binding on?
#31
Sometimes it is also easier to have someone there showing you in person, don't worry, a lot of people have issues with the binding. there are a lot of different ways, some days I still whimp out and sew it straight across and hope no one notices it.

Thanks CB!!! I've never actually seen it done in person. But your pictures make it look so easy -- if you hear me scream your name, you know it didn't work :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
And THANKS for the BIG offer to help me further :!: :D :D

I will keep an ear open for your yell. It took once or twice for me to figure it out, I knew how in my mind, just hadn't done it. now it is a piece of cake. Good luck and hope to hear how it went no matter, good or bad.
You are welcome, I enjoy helping others, sometimes it give me a refresher on how I am doing things, I tend to have a lot of bad habits from my sewing.
You may or may not be able to tell, that is the back side of the quilt I was working on, I then turn it over and machine sew it down. I generally don't hand sew unless I have to.

yikes, I finally watched the videos that everyone had been talking about with glueing the binding, and if I ever do that to one of my quilts and take that long, kick me in the seat of the pants. I wouldn't be doing the binding if I had to do all of that. If I ever were to enter a quilt in a show, (never going to happen in the next 20 years) slight possibility. If I was doing one like Jacquemoe did on the curve I would put some thought into it, (then probably wing it anyway)
I am not trying to knock those that do it that way by no means, it just isn't for me. :shock:

I would cut it except if you have it measured just off then you could be in trouble, I sew and verify it fits and then cut it off, that way if I have to adjust it if I had a brain fart when I did it (and I have, I even sewed the wrong angle one day) I just pull it out and redo it.
