| It's time to add binding! |
Just to be clear - I am not hand quilting this quilt.
It's 100% machine quilted but for this no-sashing version of Quilt-As-You-Go, I chose to hand stitch the backing seams, kind of following the method Jera Brandvig from Quilting in the Rain uses.
You can machine stitch the backing joins with a stitch in the ditch foot (how is it I don't own one of these?)
In other news, I found a bottle of Marking Pencil Remover by Quilters Rule International in the back of a cupboard and by using a cotton bud (Q-tip?) was able to remove some of that wretched Hemline water-soluble (it's not) pencil.
Not perfect but much better. As always - test, test, test on your fabrics before using.
. . . ann . . .
You are making progress. It always feels good to get to the binding. I am looking forward to photos of the finished quilt. Glad to hear you found the marking pencil remover and it helped. Hopefully the marks will eventually all wash out.
