First, a Christmas gift update. I have four wall quilts done, one about
quilted to bind, two to layer and machine quilt (there isn't time to hand
quilt anymore), one to finish appliqueing (approximately 18 daffodil flowers
with many pieces) and one to start from scratch. And only 22 days until my
flight back to family for the holidays. I'm not screaming and running
around all psycho yet but I'm getting close. I swear, this is the last
year. I promise myself.
Anyways, here is the question and help needed. On the quilt that I am about
to bind, I have an irregular border of outside and inside angles. For a
simplified explanation, about 6 inch hexagons. In otherwords, like a really
big oblong grandmothers flower. I have my walking foot and all of that for
sewing on the binding to then turn to the back and sew and be done. The
outside corners are no problem. It's the inside corners. I can't picture
how, nor on practice scraps, get the hang of it so that I can fold and clip
and do whatever I need to do to make it work for a smooth binding. Is there
a trick to this or a website with pictures to show me how? It really needs
to stay irregular for the design and character so I don't want to fill in
the edge spaces. Any advice would be welcome.
I promise pictures on my website when I am done. I always take pictures of
everything, especially when they are gifts, so I will have a page dedicated
to this year's gifts.
Thanks for any advice.
