"Good enough for a town this size" .... Love it! Is it OK if I adopt it? I'll think of you and your sister every time I say it! It sums up my sentiments exactly! .. . no matter the size of the town!

Tartan, it almost looks like too much fabric in the left angle. Have you pressed the joining seams open? Lovely anyway and certainly more than good enough.

Yes I pressed open and that little bump bugs me too. I am going to try a drop of glue the next time because I do love the look of this machine binding technique.

Don't sew the flange piece and the main binding strip together before joining for the length. Make each strip long enough individually, then sew together. Offset the joints when sewing together. I didn't make this up.

I can’t see it from a galloping horse. Looks better than what 8 aspire to.

Here is what I would do. Blue flange. STARCH the fabric. Cut double the width seam allowances included. Fold in half lengthwise and press. If your raw edge is not even trim by measuring from the fold. Hand baste keeping all the raw edges even. Next apply the binding and off set any seams keeping all the raw edges even sew through all thicknesses. Turn the binding and remove hand basting from the flange. I have found that this works every time for a nice even flange. When you are matching the seams you increase the overall thickness at the seams and it is almost impossible to avoid a bump. Hope this helps. Your seam matched perfectly tho.

Flange I add separately to quilt top with a basting stitch. Then sew the binding on top. For double binding, I do that Fiddy way which I haven’t done much but need to watch the tutorial posted, maybe there is an easier way.
