    I cut my binding 2.25 inches and use a 1/4-inch seam allowance. Then when I trim the quilt, I trim 1/2-inch from the seam line. This allows enough batting to fill the binding. Then I flip it to...

    It looks to me like you might have forgotten to cut your first strip in half. We had a demo on this technique one night when we played 'strip poker' at our guild. The demonstrator told us to cut...

    I don't particularly like to do binding either, but I have found that I would rather cut my binding on the bias. For me it seems to go on better. Many quilters use the straight bindings but for me...

    I have the exact same blocks and they are put away because I don't know what to do with them either. I had an idea in mind but when I did a 'sample' sashing, it didn't look good. I bought my...

    I had that problem and I solved it by making a thread holder. I took an old coffee cup, a little round wooden wheel (like you get in the craft bags at Walmart) and part of a wooden pencil (probably...

    I have a Janome Gem Gold that does not have the needle up/down position and it is the one I took to classes because it was so lightweight. However, I just bought a Janome AQS Anniversary machine and...
