I knew it could be done, but all the other posts I've found weren't too helpful.<br />Thank you for this! It's JUST what I needed and now I can finish her quilt in time!! :)RobotMomSewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12341144943680200566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-79538020902525954602011-12-14T13:16:14.797-06:002011-12-14T13:16:14.797-06:00Can't wait for this book.

I am excited to try it! I just finished making tons of tree skirts to sell at a craft fair and I used the scraps to make a beautiful Christmas quilt for a friend. I will try your edited version of machine binding on it. I have been machine binding since you first mentioned Anita's tutorial and I love it! Such a time saver and I find it as therapeutic as hand stitching.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17839880788896539336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-13278300122431515932011-12-08T16:29:14.796-06:002011-12-08T16:29:14.796-06:00I am one of many that ran right to Amazon to pre-o...I am one of many that ran right to Amazon to pre-order it!!!!

I love it, and when I brought a few charity quilts to the local Project Linus, they said they prefer the machine binding, as they hold up to use much better for the kids they give the quilts to. I sew for friends and family, and want them to get used too. "My Sweet Prairie" (Monika) has a great binding tutorial also that I use to join the beginning and end of the binding to look nice.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436825220887971278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-31308339438865581092011-12-08T10:59:49.262-06:002011-12-08T10:59:49.262-06:00I am so thrilled to have pre-ordered your book. ...I am so thrilled to have pre-ordered your book.
