How do you finish sewing the binding on?
#11
This is only a small wall hanging, so the bulk is really bothering me. I may have a fiddle with it tonight, see if I can wing it, seeing as I haven't hand sewn any down yet. Check back tomorrow for either the finished item or me crying in the corner! LOL ;-)

This is how cutebuns does her bindings, minus using the elmers glue like Sharon Schamber does.

Mine have looked so much better since I watched Sharon Schamber's demo. I don't use glue thru the whole process, just when attaching the strips end to end. It holds them together while you sew the 45 angle. They come out so perfect! And if you leave several inches at either end, you can end the same way.
Here's Sharon's video link. http://sharonschambernetwork.com/fre...gel/index.html

Thank you for the links, they're awesome.
I haven't had a chance to try anything, had a last minute visitor arrive, and now it's bed time. So will have to wait till tomorrow *sigh*
Will let you know how it goes. :-)

Wow! I have never binded anything before (always so scared) and after seeing that video, Sharon makes it look so easy. I might actually try it. How long does it usually take to hand sew it shut though? Probably a few hours, right?!

I'm not at my normal computer so I don't have the link, but Sharon Shamber (SP????) has a great free tute on bindings *using glue* and it's the only way I'll do a binding now. You don't get the bulk at the end because of her technique. It's fab-u-lous!!!
I haven't seen 8) you in a while - How's life BC??

Okay, now I read all the posts and see that someone already directed you to her site. Great!!!! I use her method start to finish and am so pleased with the results. I now actually enjoy doing the binding, whereas before it was a scary, ugly ending for me!!
