 Yesterday I learned that it takes a lot longer to research, think about and agonize over doing a piped binding than it actually takes to do it. I used the Piping Hot Binding technique and tool and it was really quite easy.

I haven't tried the tool you mentioned. Good to hear it was easy. I have a DVD by Ricky Tims (I think it's called Grand Finale or something like that) and he has a segment on binding with a piping. It took a lot of note taking to get all the steps. I used it on two quilts. It was a lot of work but gives such a nice finish, plus it's all applied by machine. I like hand sewing but I'm not fast at it, so sewing the binding to the back by hand takes a long time! I love your choice of the light pink against the teal. It's a nice accent.

I just realized your method is different that Ricky's. Looks like you will be hand sewing it to the back?

You're right about the piping. I've had the same problem and always have to re-read the instructions. Much more complicated to think about than to do. 8/16/2016 12:01:44 pm
I had thought about that one for the last quilt but then did it a different way - I do like the piping and might try it sometime time

Perfect finish to this awesome quilt! That little binding tool takes the work out of it.

Your piping looks terrific, Vicki! 8/17/2016 08:09:50 am
I have never done any piping but I have seen LOTS of methods. One day I will have to try it.

The piping adds such a bit of elegance to this quilt! I piped a quilt once. My piping cord was some much bigger cord. I rounded off the corners of the quilt to make sewing the piping on easier. The cord was too big to sew on square corners. 8/17/2016 06:41:17 pm
Love the colour choice for the piping! Piping is like a lot of things ... much easier to do than think about them! Comments are closed.
