Ever have one of those projects or part of a project that every time you see it it grates against your nerves?
That is how I felt about the binding on my cute, little, Spring wall hanging.
After posting about the Spring wall hanging on March 20 my quilting buddie, Dawn White, suggested I use a single-fold binding on wall hangings. And, shortly after this suggestion Dawn posted a tutorial about Single-Fold Binding on her blog, First Light Designs.
I've never done a single-fold binding before but I decided to have a session with Jack-the-Ripper and remove the original binding to try out the single-fold binding.
Dawn was right....much nicer!
It lays smoother and I like it so much better. Thank you, Dawn!
Looks great, Char! Are you sold now on single-fold binding (for certain projects)?
ReplyDeleteI don't really like to sew binding on by hand and have chosen the fast (but bulker way) with wall hangings and baby quilts (and, yes, lap quilts, too.) But I do like it better and will be using the single-fold binding on wall hangings going forward. :-)
