Finally getting to bind my Fancy Dish Dresden! But I fear it will be a total hand-sewing job! If anyone has hints or suggestions - HELP!!!!!

I love this quilt and have taken a couple of years (off & on) to make it. Looking so forward to seeing on my brass bed!

Bias binding and lots of pinning! Looks like it will be beautiful.

Thanks, ladies. I've done scallops before but these are so much more closely spaced! Will re-visit more tutorials!

Its not the sewing to the top, but the fitting it to the back!! Glad I decided not to flip from back to front!! and that it is for ME!

That is going to be spectacular!
Here are my favorite odd angle binding tutorials:

Tartan

Sew slowly using the needle down function so you can manipulate the fabric as you sew. When you fold it to the back, try a few dabs of washable glue stick to help hold the binding until you can hand sew it.

the main thing i remember is using a pin to get the correct folding angle. then it works beautifully.

Looks like you're half way there and with the suggestions from Tartan and nativetexan you should be good to go. You must show us when finished.

What if you made a facing for those difficult areas?

I have absolutely Nothing constructive to add, but I really sincerely hope you post a few pics as you complete this. It's a gorgeous hemline!
