And I'll admit I've done no quilt repairs... at all. Still.... The original binding already covers some of those points that appear so well implemented in the quilt body. I'd have trouble using the earlier commenter's recommendation to simply cut off the old binding but that's my bias, pun intended. But speaking of bias, please, please, please use a bias cut on the new binding. Sure, straight cut strips are easier, but they are vastly weaker because the grain runs parallel to the folds where all the stress will be. Go with a bias cut. Single- or double-fold? That's another question.Ruth L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10143512357326773631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-84762983740238337132021-07-15T01:14:23.853-04:002021-07-15T01:14:23.853-04:00So glad you were able to manage the repair job, a ...So glad you were able to manage the repair job, a wonderful careful process.

I had to look to find your patch, you did it so well. Someone recently posted a tutorial on 3/4-inch binding, did you see that? If not, let me know if you're interested and I'll hunt it down. Jayne had a long road trip to pick up Milly, but I sure hope they enjoy a long and wonderful relationship! piecefulwendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02256164519304112032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-78320288663040975912021-07-13T10:01:29.336-04:002021-07-13T10:01:29.336-04:00I'm sure it was nice to meet the new owner in ...I'm sure it was nice to meet the new owner in person.
