I got the version for my walking foot which should work perfectly.<br /><br />I haven't done standard binding by machine but I think an edge stitching foot would help keep the stitching straight.<br /><br />Your applique blocks are looking great.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11687940102998242654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-39201085000633971052022-01-10T13:30:34.405-06:002022-01-10T13:30:34.405-06:00We know that you will train your boss in the kinde...We know that you will train your boss in the kindest, most professional manner.

For machine binding, ...Your tiger lily looks great! For machine binding, the only solution is practice, I'm afraid. The good news is that it gets easier and easier. After about a dozen Linus quilts you'll be a pro. One thing that I find really helpful is to flip the binding to the front and press it before you try to stitch it down. A little light starch won't hurt, either. That makes it so much more even and smooth when you do the final stitching on the front. Good luck!Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08195401144486416881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-5448289690908619992022-01-10T08:57:48.104-06:002022-01-10T08:57:48.104-06:00Looking forward to your ideas for cooking with you...Looking forward to your ideas for cooking with your Mediterranean diet. I like it but need a good cookbook to follow that would help me understand ingredients. I tend to want a better style and then find buying the ingredients way out of my price range for groceries. <br />Been there too with bosses who have no clue what the job entails of their group. I have a feeling this will become worse in the workforce due to remote bosses and no hands on interacting at offices and at desks.

I’m s...The situation with your boss is unfortunate. I’m sorry! For bindings, I use this machine binding method on all quilts now: http://www.52quilts.com/2012/05/tuesday-tutorial-susies-magic-binding.html It involves machine stitching it to the back and then to the front. On the front, the stitching is hidden because you are stitching in the ditch of the little flange you create by using 2 strips of slightly different widths that are pressed exactly in half (thus, one peaks out from under the other). On the back, you can see the machine stitching. but it’s just one straight line a little inside the edge of the quilt (see her last 2 photos), and I’ve decided that I’m totally fine with that! I’ve tried other machine binding techniques and decided I wasn’t going to be able to get the results I want. So this is my method now! Oh, and the only change I make is to make my bindings a bit narrower than in the tutorial, using 1.25” and 1.5” strips. Suzannenoreply@blogger.com
