Hi, I am sure someone can answer this for me.
I want to make some placemats, but use 2 different colors in the binding.... one color for each side. Can anyone tell me what size to cut the strips to sew together? Also, do you use the 1/4" seam or a little bigger? I am not looking to do a real wide binding, just enough to finish them off nicely. Spring starts tomorrow and I have to get these done. My husband pointed at the snowmen placemats currently on our table and said "time to think spring, dear" - :) |
3/4 an in. ea. should do it.

If you want your binding to be 2", cut two strips at 1 1/4"
each, sew together, press in half and sew on as normal. sound right??? Hope so. |
I will follow this thread, thanks looks interesting for 2 colors for binding
|
Does anyone have any pics of 2 colors for binding?
