[ATTACH=CONFIG]372978[/ATTACH]I just learned a reason not to fold binding. It takes more fabric on the top than at the bottom.Never thought of it that way but I have tried it and it makes sense. It is a little more awkward at first but once you learn, it works much better. Betty in Illinois

Sorry about the stupid pictre. I did not intend to put that in. Don't know how it happened and can't seem to get it out.

Great idea!! I recently read about putting the binding on without creasing it and that's what I want to try next time. Did try it on a purse and seemed to go well. Thanks for sharing.

I still fold my binding in half and press it. Works well for me. If it isn't broke don't fix.

New Knee, you are right have several project going at one time. I know if my quilting teacher heard me say that she would kill me.(Smile)
