That is a very good point. Having said that one can always simply replace the binding. Scraps or mismatching binding can be used as it won’t be seen on the front and shouldn’t affect the overall appearance of the front of the quilt. I tend to use the technique for wall hangings where wear and tear are less of an issue but the potential for wear…[Read more]

The technique certainly wouln’t suit all quilts but it really makes a difference on modern quilts and wall hangings in particular. The beauty of it is its simplicity.

Not heard of this before, not sure when I would use it. Will keep it in mind though – perhaps for place mats … Your instructions are well written and pictures are clear. Thank you

A nice idea for quilts which need no retraction from the front. I wonder how the seam on the edge will stand up to hard use, though? I remember a QG lady talking about stitched edges traditionally needing several rows of stitching because if this.
