Joining your strips on a diagonal makes the seam almost invisible. On a binding the bulk of the seam is distributed making the binding sit even throughout the quilt.
Mid Carolina Run Shop Hop
June 20, 2010 by Aimee
The Mid Carolina Shop hop starts on Tuesday, June 22. Participating shops will be open from 10:00am to 7:00pm, Tuesday through Saturday.
Each shop will be demonstrating something different. We’ll be demonstrating Fusible Applique’ and flower making techniques.
Remember you must have your passport stamped at each shop to be illegible for the grand prize: a $1100 gift certificate. That’s a $100 gift certificate from each shop, plus there are several additional grand prizes and each shop has lots of door prizes.
Can’t wait to see you!
Video 4: Squaring Up Your Quilt
June 15, 2010 by Aimee
As you get ready for binding, it’s important that the quilt is straight. Our fourth video shows how to cut around your quilt making it ready for binding.
A special thank you to Karen Reardon for letting us use her quilt, “Sunshine and Shadows” for the demonstration!
