I always finish my bindings by machine, with a zipper foot for the in-the-ditch part.Reginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17709585277144124758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6345464989759144492.post-4243159036746967182012-06-08T09:21:49.905-04:002012-06-08T09:21:49.905-04:00if you use invisible thread never use it on childs...if you use invisible thread never use it on childs quilts, please. It doesn't break and can cause havoc with little toes and fingers! Also, if you machine sew your binding on, sew the binding first to the back and then on the front, that way you don't miss the edge or sew too far into the edge. I think your quilt is great with the diagonal lines, those lines enhance the block and give them movement, curvy or wavy lines might not have done that! I kinda sound "miss know it all" oh well, ignore me if you prefer... hahahaha....Susan J Barkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05706646375716992138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6345464989759144492.post-71835065228574509862012-06-07T16:44:49.014-04:002012-06-07T16:44:49.014-04:00Your quilt is beautiful.

There's nothing wrong with straight lines - sometimes I think we get too wrapped up in fancy feathers and flowers and intricate lines when all we really need is a simple little crosshatch.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02856089450984186042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6345464989759144492.post-31923018453160124632012-06-07T15:15:08.258-04:002012-06-07T15:15:08.258-04:00Very nice!

Training wheels are great; soon you will kick them off, drop those doggies, and be free.<br />I always sew my bindings on as you describe - by machine to the front and flipped to the back to hand stitch. I like the look, and find the process soothing. <br />The recipient will love this quilt.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846061000617561497noreply@blogger.com
