Make Seams in Striped Binding Disappear

| This Great Tip Isn’t Just for Matching Stripes!
Do you love the look of striped binding but dislike how mismatched stripes draw your eye to seams? This easy tip makes those seams disappear.
The secret is thin beads of washable school glue. It’s so simple to do and can be used for many other seams too, even when you’re not matching stripes.
For example, you can easily match stripes or other patterns on mitered borders. Or use the technique for combining binding ends in any type of fabric. You’ll surely think of many other ways it can be used to make crisp accurate seams when you don’t want the fabric to move.
Oliso Home has a short video explaining the technique.
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
