    I will post a pic of my quilt as soon as I have time to take a picture and read through some notes and figure out how to post it. There's not much to see right now except one side of the binding I've stitched down and how it ripples. Barb

    Mia, I saw that tut too and it looks so simple. But since I had already bought the binding tool I use that. But you can do what I did and use the tool as a template to cut pieces for a friendship braid quilt.

    I saw that tutorial for the friendship braid... and it really is pretty. I am up to my eyeballs in projects but that one is definitely on my quilter's bucket list When I watch the tutorial for the binding tool it looks so simple..... I'm unsure why my brain can't figure out how to use it properly. So for now.... I just do what's easiest for me lol. Hugs Nancy

    Barb, I'm headed in to change my signature line . . . that will give you an answer about what to do with your quilt! Hugs!!!!
    Be warned. I am BORED.
    This could be dangerous.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??

    Most of the abbreviations I can figure out, but there are two that have me stumped LAQ and WOF. I am still learning about quilting so I'm sure there may be more as time goes by. As they say asking questions is the only way to learn, so be prepared for more. LOL

    LAQ = Long Arm Quilter
    WOF = Width of Fabric

    Karen, boy do I feel dumb, especially not knowing WOF, I've been sewing long enough I should have known that. For some reason it was just not clicking. Thank you for the info I bet I remember them now. LOL

    I have had this problem, too. I wonder if the tension they put on the edges is a little tighter in some places. I started putting on wider borders so that I could trim them without losing more than I wanted to lose. If they are even when I get them back I trim off the extra anyway, unless the extra looks ok.

    I have the binding tool as well. What a blessing!!! Just love it and have used it on the last two quilts and the binding came out perfect.
