As I was working on one of my new patterns, for the line I will present this summer, I decided to try some of the bindings and finishes that I have on my website page BINDING/FINISHING to show you how they look. On the piece below I used a strip of fabric that I added fusible web to and cut 3/4" wide. I semi-folded it to give it a slight crease (before removing paper back) and then added it to the edge and ironed. You can also measure in 1/4" with a ruler or draw a line 1/4" in with white pencil. I've tried both. This method shared by Laura Wasilowski and posted on my webpage called BINDING/FINISHING works and I really like it. I then decided to add a little texture and color so I tried Laura's suggestion of adding a decorative stitch. My machine doesn't have the exact blanket stitch she used but I liked this one just as well. You can find that link as well on my webpage BINDING/FINISHING here. Can't wait to try more tips!

I am working on a piece that I want to use a different binding and was going to experiment with decorative stitches. Like the looks of yours and will check out your tutorial. Thank you. Great! You will find lots of ideas on the Binding/Finishing page. You'll have to share with me what you try! I think I might start a Facebook page just for those that have tried things I have on my website and for those that make my patterns (once I get them published). That way we can all share ideas! I'll have to think up a name tied into this...hmmmm. Good luck! Leave a Reply. |
