I'd honestly be terrified of losing one and having my dog get tangled up in it but there is no arguing with the results you get. The results are beautiful. I looked at your post on how you do it and definitely agree that the miters look better when you sew from the front. <br />I love the binding you selected for this quilt ... okay, I love the backing and the top, too. :DPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12283575512727062312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766891572053927127.post-17919347780737119372016-05-27T21:17:03.452-04:002016-05-27T21:17:03.452-04:00Richard,

If it has my name on it, then I don't want to be ashamed of that. And lastly, doing it well is also fun. This quilt will be a gift to someone I love and to give a poorly made object would be an insult. <br />I'm proud of my work and craftsmanship is important to me. If you think it's okay to do sloppy work that tells me you don't really care. If you don't care, why should I care about your opinion? Because frankly, your comment tells me you don't get it, and aren't interested in improving. You're acting like a three year old. Either take responsibility, improve your work and grow up, or go away. If you want to join the adults at the "big table" you have to earn it.

Bah I should care but what fun would that be.Richard Healeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15745200601899371493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766891572053927127.post-56710956182946604902016-05-27T12:58:37.638-04:002016-05-27T12:58:37.638-04:00I like the border, and I use pins, specially if se...I like the border, and I use pins, specially if sewing merino for Hugh. Lots to make sure the hem doesn't skew. And for a flange binding as well, more than anywhere else.Nancy Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854698513524662527noreply@blogger.com
