How to make perfect binding
in 6 easy steps: by Tracey Pereira
How to make perfect Binding
in 6 easy steps is a techniques booklet for anyone who is looking for an
easy to follow step by step guide on how to make and apply a traditional
double-fold binding with mitred corners.
Available to buy at
http://www.teepeequilts.co.uk/
or through Lulu.com. The booklet is available in 2 formats : an
eco-friendly downloadable PDF version that you can choose to print out
locally on your own printer or store to disk A spiral
bound hard copy is also available if you prefer. Personally I like PDF
e-books because it means I can go directly to the page I want, print
the page of the information I really need and do my bit to help save the
planet by keeping paper and ink usage to a minimum. The PDF version is also
cheaper!
Binding is probably one of
the least liked jobs in the quilting process, it often scares lot of people
too but with the right guidance really is as easy as one, two three -
Well one to six in this case! The booklet is ideal for new and
intermediate quilters but the advanced quilter might also learn a trick or
two
