    Default The Exalted Goddess of Binding!

    I have elevated Bernice to the new title of Exalted Goddess of Binding!

    Bernice worked with me to put the binding on a baby quilt I was working on.

    It was a test of her patience. But I got the binding on and it looks "Almost" like someone knew what he was doing. And at the point of putting the two ends together she showed me her "Magic Thumbs"!

    Love your quilt! I'm glad you were able to get the help you needed. What are these "Magic Thumbs" you speak of? Is it a new technique?

    That is an awesome quilt!!! I want to meet Bernice and I want to know what the 'magic thumbs' technique is!
    Also, so happy you are taking the time to share bits of your time there in Hamilton. Those of us who couldn't go but wish we could be there, are living vicariously through all of you.

    Bernice (Jean Sewing Machine) has to be an angel, she had the patience to teach me how to put a binding on properly. I used my walking foot and it is sooooo much easier!!!!!

    Hope she's around next weekend when I come to MSQC - I have a problem quilt. If not I'll just PM her - she's helped me out before. She must know everything!

    I have had trouble with Bernice's name this week. I have called her Jean, Betty, Susie Ann, Doris and such. I think I finally got the Bernice down and I used the wrong screen name. She is Stitching Woman, not Jean Sewing Machine.

    I'm just a mere dumb man, I'm sorry Bernice.
