Can someone please post the link to Sharon's site so I can go to it when I am at work. There is a fast connection and I can look at the videos when I take my lunch break.

I have to link to it site direct as I can not book mark anything on the work computer... thanks

Here it is, Anna:

Navigate to the "FREE AREA" then scroll down to the video on binding! She's an excellent teacher!!

Sewdreamy OFFLINE Posts: 2009 Thank you received: 160	Sharon Schamber's free video on binding helped me to fix my bindings. She demonstrates the importance of sewing the miters on both front and back and how to do it. The trick is to get the glue bottle tip so you get the right amount of glue down.

Lorchen OFFLINE Posts: 2639 Thank you received: 50	Oh, the dreaded mitred corners of the binding........ I always sew them down on both sides. But I have to admit that I'm often too lazy and pushed for time and then don't do mitred corners....... (looking around if anybody heard this 'confession of a rogue quilter')....... Lorchen

Alex demonstrated how to do mitered bindings - it's in Season 2, and I think I remember that you need to wait for the DVD's. Anyway, her method works every time. And yes, if you are submitting your quilt for judging, you should sew the corner at both the front and back. My friend recently had hers in the County Fair and got a blue ribbon, but the judge wrote that she should sew the front down, too.

BINDING QUESTIONS 26 Aug 2008 15:37 #24944

LadyRags OFFLINE Posts: 1571 Thank you received: 43	I am told you should sew your mitered corners on your binding... do you sew both front and back? or just the front.... Do you put the excess fabric to the right or to the left of your sewing. Are there any special or fool proof techniques? My mitered corners never look very good and I want to improve them... NOT SURE WHAT I do wrong with them.
