And the site had problems - it was taking hours to download stuff, etc. I think the technical problems have been fixed. But now. after viewing all her freebies available on youtube, and really, really being able to take and learn from them - and see immediate results in my own work - I would consider the paid lessons when I get a bit more free time. NAYY. And if you ever get a chance to see one of her quilts in person - grab it. Even if you have to drive a few hours out of your way to the museum in Paducah. The pictures - which are fabulous - don't even begin to convey the amazing, complex, never-ending details she puts on her quilts. I'm glad the binding videos were helpful to you. ;-) |
Hey thanks for the address. I ended up spending a lot of time looking at other videos as well.

If the front mitre folds to the left, the back mitre should fold to the right. I hope I'm expressing this clearly! |
Great video, very easy, yet thorough. Didn't know I didn't know so much about bindings! Thanks for the link!

One time my corner is perfect...then next time it's horrible Drives me crazy cause I'm really fussy about the miter. Last night I watched Sharon Shaumbers video and think I have a tip from her that will solve my problem. She presses in a 45 degree angle on the binding when she reaches the corner and then when she stitches to the corner, she stops when the needle hits the pressed line, then she pivots and sews off the quilt. The rest I do like she does so I hope my problem is that where I stop stitching isn't a perfect measure. It's worth looking at, although she spends more time with Elmer's than I would be willing to do.

my question is. does she wash all that glue out???

I actually didn't even use the washable version, just the regular Elmer's, and I probably put it on a bit thicker the first time than Sharon typically does because I didn't have the super thin nozzle thingie at the time. |
[quote=MTS]Did you watch Sharon Schamber's video's - because, really, they're the ones that count. Here's part 1 of 3
