Incredible!!! Congratulations on the article…

Did you get any info on a contact from Viking? I’m interested also in the hopes of getting a machine to use. I figure, once you’ve been published a few times, and demonstrate a machine for a dealer at IQF during a gig for Quilting Arts Virtual Studios, how could they say no?

Glad to hear that your son is home and doing better! Continued healing thoughts. Take care…

Great instructions Sarah! I was planning to do this for my Journal Quilt….but….I trimmed my quilt to 17″ x 22″, forgetting to allow for the 1/4″ seam allowance. So, regular binding for me. I WILL be trying your method on my next small project though. Thanks for the clear pictures and diagrams.

One thing….when you say “2. Pin the facing to the quilt top, right sides together, on the back side of the quilt.” would this not be right sides together on the RIGHT side of the quilt?

Thanks for the idea. Instructions are done so they are easily understandable.

Great instructions and diagrams/photos. The only thing I can think of that would help clarify it a bit is a picture of the edge stitching in a contrasting colour so people could understand exactly what it is if they have not used it in garment sewing.

Believe me, I’ve book marked this as a reminder to myself for reference!

Thanks again for all these little gems that help us to do better finishing and better work in general. It’s much appreciated.
