LHQ - Pre-Packaged Binding
I have a whole drawer full of this stuff –
I love it -
I even did a little demo - here -
It’s all Wrights ® brand –
And I think it’s still available -
But I don’t know for sure –
Mine is all from the “old” days –
As you can probably tell from the prices -
Blue -
Double Fold Quilt Binding
3 yds – $2.35
Red –
Double Fold Bias Tape – Extra Wide
3 yds – $1.80
Yellow –
Double Fold Bias Tape
4 yds – $1.45
Khaki/Beige/Brown –
Single Fold Bias Tape
4 yds – $1.45
Light Blue –
Satin Blanket Binding
4¾ yds – $4.95
It’s great for binding those pre-quilted baby quilt panels –
Or anything else – for that matter –
It saves time if you don’t want to make your own –
It comes out the same as those bias binding makers that you can buy –
Only thing is – they come in limited colors –
But - like I have said before –
There is ALWAYS more than one way to do things.
And this is just another way. ;))
Talk to you later – gotta go – gotta sew -
I am usually a front to back kind of binder, but I have just tried my first back to front. Waiting to stitch it down the front side. I appreciate your demo and the tip about which way to fold the miter at the corner. Love the "bottom up" now I won't forget it.
ReplyDeleteOh my! I completely forgot about these packages!! Guess my brain just categorized them in with high school Home Ec sewing. LOL I might have to pick me up some just to have on hand.
