Really, serging the binding on the front and hand sewing it to the back. It makes it very sturdy and the serging is also the perfect amount before folding over.Mama Urchinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13330018634478326520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-42273510339648473832007-09-20T16:29:00.000-05:002007-09-20T16:29:00.000-05:00My biggest tip is to use pins when doing piecing, ...My biggest tip is to use pins when doing piecing, and have a strong magnetic pin cushion handy. Press your seams opposite of the one you are joining it to, and then pin in place the locking seams. I always thought pinning was a waste, but my corners are soooo much more accurate this way. The magnetic pin catcher enables you to use the pins quickly.
