This past year at the Padukah show I saw a woman demonstrate a method where she cut the green fabric on the bias in very thin strips. Then she painted Elmers glue (watered down) on to the wrong side of the fabric strip, folded over 1/3 of the edge ironing it with a tiny trowel shaped iron ( in the craft dept.) and then turned over the other 1/3 of the fabric on top of the first and ironed it down with the tiny iron. (hope you understand this) She produced beautiful turned under strips that were toothpick thin. They were amazing! Guess you could zig zag them down or do a running stitch over or even hand stitch them in place. I saw a lot of this application on the quilts in the show and wondered how the quilter could possibly have done this. Now I know.
