The binding - Round 2 -
I was all set to start sewing down the second side -
But wanted to double check that the binding would fold over enough -
Before I went too far -
I didn't want to have to "un-sew" any of it -
Sewing it down once is plenty for me - LOL -
And this was the perfect place to stop -
Since I had to cut the thread and re-position the quilt anyway -
So I flipped over some of the binding -
And stitched a little bit - with a big old "basting" stitch -
And checked the back -
A stitch line just outside the binding is good enough for me - LOL -
So then I finished sewing it down to the back - all the way around -
And will "join" the ends next - ;))
I think it's going to be pretty -
But I'm not going to rush it - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
Best choice re. the tiny wobble. 😉
ReplyDeleteYaay, you finally started it! It is looking good. I have to confess that once I start sewing the binding to the back, I can't stop until it is attached and the ends joined.
ReplyDeleteI like your words “good enough for me”, that’s the way to peaceful satisfaction rather than OCD! Learned that from my daughter, bless her heart. :)
ReplyDeleteGoing to be fabulous.....and no...sewing once is just fine with me....hate to be frogging it.
ReplyDeleteYay for you getting stuff done.
ReplyDeleteI finally finished the filing from 2019. . . tonight I get the joy of pulling all the records and totaling up everything so that we can get the taxes done on Saturday.
But after that I have a lot of plans. . . starting with a gift quilt that I plan on hand quilting. . .it is a small wall hanging but it is so darn cute I can't wait to show it. But my friend reads my blog so I can't show it until she gets it.
Have a great day.
