So there!
I almost always wrestle with getting the ends of continuous binding joined. Don't leave enough slack, have to struggle to get it on the machine, sew the wrong angle, etc.
Had to take it apart twice last night. Only took me about three minutes to do it (correctly) by hand this afternoon. Why didn't I think of that before?

I don't have problems doing it any more, but did recently see a tute on McCall's quilting that was shared here. Tried it (working from memory, no less, which is a dangerous thing!) when I had a binding to put on Monday. Worked like a charm! Here is the link: http://www.mccallsquilting.com/mccal...ining_the_Ends
And the thread that it came from, which has lots of suggested methods and tutes: http://www.quiltingboard.com/links-r...t-t228030.html

I found this easy to remember and works for me. I hope this works to show you.

If it works for you, then that's the best solution! Might wish you'd thought of it sooner, but look at it this way - You DID think of it, and now you can do it that way every time without a struggle.
