I have a coupla questions, How do you turn the bias strips when the knot comes to a point? and do you stitch the strips with a twin needle and invisible thread?

Hi Ann, when I get to a point I pin the binding at the point then turn the fabric to a 45 or 60 degree angle and stitch it into position. Because the binding is done on the bias it is easy to stretch or manipulate without it looking bulky. I also stitch this by hand with a matching thread colour. I sew the inner side first then the outer as this again goes around bends easily. I have attached a picture that may help you see what I mean. I use a track stitch so that you dont see my stitching. Hope this helps. Regards Sharon.

I love it :thumbup: :thumbup:

Nice work!! Hugs, Sharon
