Oh yes machine sewing the binding is thr ...Hi Kate,<br />Oh yes machine sewing the binding is thr only way to go. I do it all the time (with very big frowns from the old ducks in my craft group) Especialy if the quilts will be washed alot.<br />Went & had a look at your tut, the only thing mum taught me to do differently, is sew the binding to the backside of the quilt. Then when you bring it to the front, pin it and sew the binding on the front. Then it doen't matter if you miss the binding on the backside. Give it a try.<br />Love your colours in this quilt. <br />SandraCraft to Dohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04067936742318465403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20246497.post-56914741133737591742012-01-20T19:43:53.077+08:002012-01-20T19:43:53.077+08:00Your quilts are beautiful!Your quilts are beautiful!Brendanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20246497.post-73138046329790905112012-01-20T13:35:11.219+08:002012-01-20T13:35:11.219+08:00I machine bind my quilts but I cheat by making my ...I machine bind my quilts but I cheat by making my binding strips a half inch wider than neccesary so that there's a quarter inch of overhang past where I've sewn from the top. Then I flip it over and re-sew it neatly from the back. It means there's a second line of quilting a quarter inch from the binding on the top, but since I usually straight line quilt anyway, it blends in fine. It makes for a wider binding on the back, but I like that too.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11266313274046316499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20246497.post-89397281410713005452012-01-20T13:17:47.374+08:002012-01-20T13:17:47.374+08:00Looks pretty good!
