- To keep quilt binding from tangling, roll it up and put a shoestring or heavy cord
through the center. Tie a knot in the cord and put it around your neck. Binding will feed
nicely off the roll as you attach it to your quilt.
- Try using hand quilting thread for turning your bindings. It is made for the repeated
trips through the fabric and doesn't seem to fray, knot or break the way other threads
do.
- Try paper towel tubes for storing any left over pieces of bindings. It keeps then nice
and flat. no need to re-iron.
- Ever have a hard time setting up for binding? Try your serger on the edges? By
serging the edges first, it allows the binding to go on evenly, thus preventing the
fabric from "clumping" up
