Beautiful quilts...glad you conquered binding! I actually love doing bindings...weird but true...find it almost as satisfying as quilting.

Oh well it is what it is...It's in the dryer and will take it into the auction tomorrow morning.....
When I started sewing my binding on using the 1/4 inch foot, it's been easier, but I still have to do quite a bit of pinning --I use very fine quilting pins and can sew over them. I have found a 2" binding works best for me, too. I used to use a 2 1/2 inch binding. I've been at this business for years, but it is always rewarding to learn how to do something easier or better!

Nice quilts. ... I have not sewn a binding on by hand in years. Love doing them by machine.

Thanks for the tut. This is how I end my binding but it is usually a space of time between bindings.....and a lot of frustration trying to remember how to do it. Now I have pictures!!!
