Interesting binding technique.... you need to have Adobe to read as this is in pdf format

Great directions. I may try sewing binding on by machine. I get a little sick of sewing them by hand.

Mamu, where to you live? I want to steal that quilt you have in your avatar. It is phenomenal. Quite lovely indeed.

This is a little out of subject. But you know tip that everyone seems to know about saving TP rolls to put your binding on? Well I found something even better and again everyone probably has or can get this readily. I was emptying my salt into a plastic container. It struck me that if the TP rolls worked, the salt boxes would work better. You can even roll them up and stick them inside. Its easier and neater to use. So now I can roll my bindings and store them in the salt boxes. Cool huh?

That is indeed very cool, Rita. Now that you mention it, the salt boxes are a good size for a number of things, and I like that the bindings can be put inside rather than wrapped around the outside (wrapping allows me the opportunity to stretch the binding!).

I do have to wonder though... you don't go through salt boxes as fast as you do toidy paper, do you? :mockery-017:

Eat enough salt....then drink lots of water....then toidy way....so they just might even themselves out
