If I'm good as I claim to be, you won't see my stitches no matter what color I use unless you have the quilt in your hands and pry the binding apart from the quilt.
And sorry everybody, but there will NOT be a video unless somebody comes to visit me at my house and holds the camera to take pictures. I cannot do my blind-stitching one handed.
I am putting together a binding class proposal so maybe (maybe) I'll be teaching this somewhere soon and you can come sit in a room with me and watch me do it, and learn that way. I learned from watching my Mother. (My Dad, btw, calls this the "looky looky" method.
PS, Linda, I never use a "flange" binding, but if I did I'd finish it on the front by machine.

If you want a video, I'll hold the camera. Let me know when.
Why not use all four threads - one on each of the quilt's four sides? Four times the proof (grin).
Dear selvage fairy: I’ll call you.
Dear Julie, I thought if that!
I suggest an inexpensive tripod, even with a cell phone you can find a way to attach it. I don't know how, but I have seen people taking pictures and video with cell phones on a camera.
I love your binding choice, coming late to the game I reviewed your choices and each time I saw those wonky squared circles that was my vote. I always hand stitch using a ladder stitch and almost always use a Aurifik 2600 a silver grey unless in doing a black binding.
It already looks great. Thanks.
