That was the best tutorial on diagonal binding joining that I’ve ever seen. Thanks
I’ve always had problems joining the binding ends. I even bought a binding tool, but never was able to learn how to use it. Your tutorial is great. Thank you for sharing.
I will never do a binding any other way.
Excellent tutorial! Thank you for such a great presentation.
Easy to follow tutorial, I also use my walking foot to sew binding on. How wide are your binding strips? Thanks!
