The Perfect Curved Binding

Sharon’s process for folding the binding fabric before cutting is awesome. I can’t wait to try it. I’ve always used the non-bias binding method. The video is just chock full of interesting techniques. I’ve always used the ruler markings to determine my cutting line and she uses the mat which she states is more accurate. Also starching the inside of the strip before folding in half is a fabulous idea.  So many of her tips are applicable for a straight edge binding as well.

I still have a phobia of curves in quilting. I avoid them wherever possible and I shouldn’t. Sharon’s procedure illustrates the importance of taking your time and that going step by step can eliminate most of the puckering that occurs while sewing on any binding. So…where do I find that fine-tip Elmers?
