Are we restricted as to how many QOTD we can post in a certain period of time??? (it's just that you all are a wealth of information, especially to a novice like myself!). Just let me know, and I'll stop, if I'm bein' a piggy about the ??
So. About binding. Are there any rules?? how wide...the absolute correct way to do them...should they be hand-sewn, or is machine ok? I'm only working on my second-ever quilt from a real pattern...the others have all been....hmmm..by the seat o'my pants??? Anyway, even the first real one I did, I 'cheated' on the binding, I guess. I was in two different quilt stores and talking with a few different clerks/quilters...I got 'RULES' from one lady who said the bindings MUST be cut at 2.5"... and then I watched this pretty neat tutorial on how to make an 'invisible finish binding with mitred corners'. It took me forever to 'get it', but finally I did...and used it on a practice table runner. But......what do YOU think are the best 'rules' and why?? I'm about to finish up another crib quilt within a few days, I hope, but have to make a decision on backing and binding. (this time I think I'll do a 'real' binding, tho..)
