Okay, I know I was on a roll earlier this summer and posting on the blog a bit more frequently. Occasionally I'm going to try to now post some of what I will call "Tipbits." These will just be little tips or tidbits of information on quilting, piecing, appliqué, embroidery - whatever we can think of that might be helpful to you.
Today we'll begin with a quick little tipbit when binding a quilt - Patty suggests doing all your four corners first. Then the rest.
Surprisingly whether you realize it or not, the binding can stretch while you're sewing it down around your quilt. By doing the corners first, you can ease the binding, if needed, and prevent any stretching.
That's it till next time.
The Cotton Club began as a mail order business selling top quality 100% cotton fabrics in 1986. All a quilter had to do then was join The Cotton Club and receive monthly 4" square samples of fabric. In 1995 The Cotton Club moved onto the Internet further opening up doors to quilters around the globe. Then comes along social media bringing yet a new dynamic to the quilting industry. And now the real fun begins!
