There is a feathery looking one on my machine that looks real good. I put have of the stitching on the binding and the other half sits on the quilt. This adds another design element instead of just getting it done.patty a.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01861433552460661701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567148070676790205.post-85158436761383778312016-03-18T22:33:21.980-05:002016-03-18T22:33:21.980-05:00Binding on the machine is easy.

Once the binding is complete on the back, flip it to the front and stitch it down trying really hard to keep the line of stitching an even distance from the edge. (That's the hardest part.) You can do it and very quickly, too. I rarely, rarely ever hand bind anymore. I'm almost good at keeping that front seam even, almost--wouldn't it be great if it looked like top-stitching on an expensive shirt? There's always a goal.Mary Marcottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569619947909529203noreply@blogger.com
