Bound -

 

 

My Harmonic Convergence -

 

Is bound -

With my favorite "flange binding" method - 

From a Youtube video by Jordan Fabrics - HERE -

I LOVE the "swirlies" in this corner -

I thought that I was in trouble - 

When I looked at the ends to be "joined" - 

I had a seam close to the end on the right one - 

And a long tail on the left one - 

 

And they didn't match up -

 

But then I realized that it would be OK - 

 

The "flange" is joined separately from the "main" binding - 

 

So I un-sewed the "main" binding at the seam close to the end -  

Since it seemed the most logical separation point -

 

Measured 1/2" for the overlap - 

 

Remembered to put the end that I was going to "cut" on TOP of the ruler - 

 

And double-checked that I would have an overlap and NOT a gap - LOL - 

 

Before I cut the top piece at the end of the ruler - 

 

Sewed those two ends together - 

 

And finger-pressed the seam open - 

 

Then laid out the "flange" pieces - 

 

With a 1/2" overlap - 

 

And cut the top piece - 

 

Sewed those two ends together - 

 

And finger-pressed the seam open - 

 

Then sewed the two bindings back together - 

Pressed them all nice and neat - 

 

And had a very FLAT and virtually invisible "join" -

 

This "flange binding" is my favorite method -

 

Sewn entirely by machine - 

 

And looking "fancy" - 

 

With that little bit of color - 

 

Peeking out at the edge -  

If you haven't tried it yet - 

I recommend that you do - 

 

I'm pretty sure you will like it - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
