Bound -

 

 

I was on a roll - 

 

And in the mood to bind something - 

 

So I kept going - 

 

And my Karma Churn Dash is bound - 

 

Ta Dah! - 

 

Yesterday I was asked  -

How do you connect the ends of your binding when you have it in 2 colors?

I make my "Flanged binding" using a method that I found in a YouTube video - 

Jordan Fabrics - Flange Binding - HERE -  

It is my all-time FAVORITE method for making binding - 

How to sew the "join" is around the 9:35 mark - 

So -

 

Binding takes me a little time - 

Because I do it in three steps - 

1. Stitch it to the back of the quilt at my "walking foot" machine - with the big tables in back and on the left side - to hold the weight of the quilt -
   
2. Cut and sew the "join" at my "piecing" machine - with the 1/4" foot - then press it away from the top - because the ironing board is next to my "piecing" machine -
   
3. Then I go back to my "walking foot" machine to stitch it down to the front - and sew the label on -
   

But - most importantly - 

 

Binding takes me a little time - 

 

Because I have to be in the mood to DO it - LOL - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
