For me, the least time-consuming way is to review my instructions before I start sewing that binding on.

I always sew my binding ends together twisty backwards - to this day - even with my binding notes AND a close up pic/tutorial open on my laptop next to me. My notes have really helped me with all the other binding aspects though - as I was always having to re-learn the steps as I would not do it that often. So I decided to write down what worked each time and repeat it the next time. Works like a charm.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07919462028551674067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711590508857090616.post-18852671278210248422013-09-07T09:05:03.478-06:002013-09-07T09:05:03.478-06:00@ Becca --Thanks for stopping by my blog and your ...@ Becca --Thanks for stopping by my blog and your kind words. I completely agree with you: You SHOULD learn something new everyday. I actually say that often to my children. <br />Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09458341169251653916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711590508857090616.post-4842637126453848982013-09-05T18:05:55.270-06:002013-09-05T18:05:55.270-06:00I've managed to make it to the point where I&#...I've managed to make it to the point where I'm comfortable with binding. That doesn't mean it always goes wonderfully, because that is just not true. I can't explain it to people, it is just something you have to work through and learn from, sometimes all on your own. Don't' think of these as failures, but lessons. You should learn something every day, even if it is how <i>NOT</i> to do something. Love your color choices on this little quilt, no matter how you feel about the binding.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05218905508160290357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711590508857090616.post-83855701579756690142013-09-03T17:11:18.536-06:002013-09-03T17:11:18.536-06:00Thank you everyone for your help!

I, too, had to pull out one of my quilting books to help me get that last seam correct...and still made mistakes! But, in the end, I won!

Thank you for visiting my blog at http://sewfreshquilts.blogspot.ca/2013/08/if-it-aint-broke.html Since you show up as a no reply blogger, I wanted to return the visit, so here I am! Thank you for your compliments and response regarding the new cutter! Just wanted to let you know, I have had moments like this with binding, too. I had to refer to one of my quilting books for the first 20 quilts I made to get that last seam right. Then, when you think you got it down... Well my strips would be seamed wrong, or I'd forget to check whether they would end up at a corner. Glad to see you didn't give up! Your mini quilt is beautiful! I'd love to see a picture after the binding was sewn onto the back!Lorna McMahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01911462547010295684noreply@blogger.com
