Replacing Binding On A Quilt
I've been quilting a little over four years, so some things I still struggle with. Binding is the thing I struggle with a lot. I made myself a lap quilt a year ago and the binding just isn't very good. I'm guessing it won't be too much of a struggle to rip off the old binding and put on new. Has anyone ever done this?

Haven't had to do it yet, but don't think I'd find it terribly difficult. The ripping out the stitches would be the most painful part for me. Then again, I don't mind doing bindings. Means it's almost DONE!

Just sit on the sofa with the lap quilt over your knees, and start taking the binding off. Take your time, and you will still be warm. Have the new binding ready to go. Ellie Girl, just take your time.

This will also give a much neater (new) edge, than ripping out the old binding.
