Then I used Stephanie's (Loft Creations) method - and it was the easiest one that I've used. I tried some of the other methods, and ended up resewing that darn end 3 or 4 times. But with Stephanie's method - easy peasy! Done right the first time.MichelleBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12518684189152417492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-67215811076713089222008-11-01T09:49:00.000-05:002008-11-01T09:49:00.000-05:00Your boys are having fun!

I must say I have always mitred the last bit, which can get a bit fiddly if you don't leave enough unsewn binding, but saying that I have never had any bulk problems. I have found that I have adapted the method I use to make it easier for me. I got the instructions from the quilters encyclopedia (what a great book, recommend it to any new quilter). Thanks for all the work you put into your tuts. The pumpkin and robes look great, well done.<BR/>AishaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-67209715701283201372008-11-01T07:11:00.000-05:002008-11-01T07:11:00.000-05:00http://loftcreations.blogspot.com/2008/07/how-to-a...http://loftcreations.blogspot.com/2008/07/how-to-attach-binding-tutorial.html<BR/><BR/>Try this.

I just join them end to end and then you can't tell where I actually stopped and started. Plus there is a little less fabric waste. You should give it a try... and stick to the finishing method it works great!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11515452957964923679noreply@blogger.com
