Even then, I still couldn't get it smooth on the back, so I went back to the pinning.

I guess the cutting is and sandwiching...I'm old, tired, retired and seem to have a love affair with "Arthur" (arthritis)so standing to cut is not fun and there is no way in this world I can crawl on the floor to pin. Usually I recruit my DD or GDD to do that which means when I start a new project, they disappear ! I just bought some spray baste and am going to give that a try. Hopefully it will solve at least one problem for me...

I use to hate binding to because I just couldn't figure out how to end it and it never turned out right. Now that I've figured it out, I actually love doing binding. I hate doing the basting. Love everything else.
