I finally like binding!!
I've been putting off finishing my quilts because I just couldn't machine bind them to my liking but I couldn't quite "get" hand sewing them either. This weekend I forced myself to google until I found a tutorial that would make it all "click". I'm proud to say I finally have figured it out and love binding!! Such a huge relief to finally enjoy that part f quilting!
What thing did you struggle with until something finally clicked and made it all make sense? |
i'm still struggling with simple stippling. i can quilt flowers and leaves and pebbles, but not stippling... i box myself into a corner and can't decide how to get to the unquilted area.
glad to hear that you've conquered binding |
yay for you!. It's great when you finally find your groove. I'd think I would like to work on diamonds some more. Maybe after I clean up some more ufos. I'm fixing all the stuff that used to frustrate me ;-)

Isn't is fun when things click? (light bulb moments!)What tutorial did you use? Share, please. :)

My problem area is applique . I can do it but I'm still not sure which method to use and mess about trying too decide.
|
I can stipple but I can't FMQ a motif to save my life! Staying on a line is just not happening over here.
Mastering a new skill is so nice and once you do it's hard to remember what the problem was in the first place. |
I agree, share the tutorial!

Katie,
Which method did you decide to use? (machine binding only, or doing it by hand on one side?) |
I sew the front to the top side and hand sew to the back. I have gotten really good and fast at it. I love all of the quilt making process.
