I serge around the knit and then crochet a pretty edging. You could probably bind them if you used a lightweight stretchy fabric.bpwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054240995895959628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-84981426183259601282010-09-15T17:21:22.022-05:002010-09-15T17:21:22.022-05:00Love this simple idea!

A couple years ago, a blog friend made me some lovely dish towels using the same type of towel, adding a cute little patchwork strip detail to one end. I use it all the time. The little splash of color makes it my favorite kitchen towel. I can totally see myself making these.sulu-designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14997610829986070303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-37343793896406104382008-09-25T22:51:00.000-05:002008-09-25T22:51:00.000-05:00I loved the idea so much, I knew I had to make som...I loved the idea so much, I knew I had to make some of these.

After reading your blog I first washed and dried it in the dryer and then when cutting I used the waffle's as a guide so they would be straight. The first one I did the binding by hand and the 2nd one I just did a zig zag. Great idea! Now I am wondering what else we could use this fabric for.

Thanks for the idea and tutorial. I was also wondering if you could do a tutorial on how to square up your quilt after you have quilted it? You know when you have extra batting and backing material hanging off the edges. I really struggle with this part of quilting. I don't know why, maybe I'm doing it out of order. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.Camihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17794736023671156799noreply@blogger.com
