I use the glue method for binding. No pins to poke me.
|
What about pins for other things, not just binding? Does anybody use them anymore? :D
|
I use glue and glue bast both sides then machine sew that baby with my walking foot.

I agree with newbee3 no pins, I just feel it as it goes. I just press and then add binding and turn and hand sew No Pins.

I don't use pins when sewing the binding to the quilt. I do use Wonder Clips for folding over and holding the binding for hand sewing.
My preference in pins is flower head pins. I had some Dritz and some Collins but wanted finer pins. Clover had some fine pins but they were sold on cards of 20 and were expensive, IMO. I ended up buying IBC pins because they had the finest shaft I could find (other than the expensive Clovers which I think were the same). They were pretty comparable pricewise to other brands. I bought them at my LQS but they're also sold at Clotilde.com http://www.clotilde.com/detail.html?...ia=flower+head |

No pins -- I glue baste with a couple of clips in strategic places. If I am in too much of a hurry, I just use clips.
|
I use the silver hair clips when sewing by hand and Clover Wonder Clips when finishing by machine. I love, love, love the Wonder Clips. I hated the machine finished results before I started using Wonder Clips. When first attaching the binding I either glue ala Sharon Schamber's method or just hold it.
|
I used to pin, then I tried the glue method and that was ok and now I tried the Clover wonder clips because someone on the board sang their praises. I found them so easy to use and my binding looked better than it ever has. They are not cheap, but I still think they are worth the price for being easy to use and they held really well without distorting the fabric. They are what I will use from now on.
|
I use 3 pins, inserted parallel to the quilt edge, and move them ahead as I stitch. I rarely stick myself, or get thread tangled on the pins.
