I'm still learning, so anything is new to me. :) What kind of needle do you use to hand bind?

These are the one's I'm currently using. [ATTACH=CONFIG]164140[/ATTACH] |
Wow, I've been a quilter for over fourteen years, so how have I never heard of this method before?? lol Thanks so much for the great tutorials ladies. I'm a very visual learner and they were very helpful. :D

Thank you for the wonderful instructions and the pics. Now I understand how to do this stitch. I love hand applique and will try it on my next one. The pics were very helpful, thanks for taking the time and sharing with us.

I'm still not understanding. I guess I'm just slow this evening. I get the first picture, I think. I have sewn by binding to the front of my quilt and I have run the needle through the edge of it leaving a tail between the layers of the quilt. The 2nd picture is the one i don't get, is the blue thread suppose to be between the layers also and you just had it on top so we could see? I think it's a super idea if I can just understand where to stitch and how. Thanks

Maybe these pictures will help the ladders before you pull them [ATTACH=CONFIG]164811[/ATTACH] ladders pulled part way [ATTACH=CONFIG]164812[/ATTACH] ladders have been pulled first stitch to start a new one [ATTACH=CONFIG]164821[/ATTACH] |

Do this a few times until you have a few ladders, then gently pull your thread. When you pull your thread, the ladders will disappear.

Everyone in my quilt guild wonders why my binding is invisible. This is why!! I have always done it this way. Thanks for sharing. :)
