Hey Wildyard, I wouldn't have thought about planning ahead, either! Thanks for letting me learn from you.
|
Yep! I wouldn't have thought about it either!

I planned ahead the other day and made sure that no miters would align on the corners. Should have taken it one step further to make sure that I wasn't going to be 1/4" (NO KIDDING!) short.

I always try to do a "test run" with my binding. I pin it all around to make sure I don't run into the corner problem. If I have a problem at a corner I readjust my starting point.

my first binding[luckily on a smalish wall hanging]2 of the corners had a join landing-- i tried very hard to fudge it but it looked terrible so so after my reverse sewing wrecked the binding i cut another piece much better colour too--i think i learn better from my mistakes

and speaking of bindings,,,,, does anyone know of a neat way to do 'odd angles' on bindings?
I can do the 90degree corners just fine,,,,, but made some of the table runners using the 60 degree ruler and am having trouble figuring those angles for binding! HELP!!!! |
I lay the quilt out & then loosly pin the binding to the quilt top just to make sure that I won't have a seam ending up at a corner when attaching the binding.
