Seems I've been having to re-bind lots of antique quilts lately, since the binding wears out.Cheryl's Teapots2Quiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005480747596617459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758475602275745268.post-49436331591032618392022-05-19T08:51:25.414-05:002022-05-19T08:51:25.414-05:00Usually I get distracted on another new project, o...Usually I get distracted on another new project, or I made a huge mistake and got discouraged.<br />Generally I use a double fold binding on bed quilts to hold up better to wear. I use a single fold on placemats and smaller items so they lay flatter.<br />This is a fun UFO to tackle!Quilter Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16870660916547202929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758475602275745268.post-66035666303599180102022-05-18T18:31:25.421-05:002022-05-18T18:31:25.421-05:00What a great tip for making those blocks!

I also go with whatever regarding binding, sometimes one, sometimes double, never had any problem with wearing on either. The quilts aren't trailing around the floor like a toddler, nor being treated roughly, washed plenty and all are fine. Love your blog Julie, I'm no longer working - correction - I'm no longer being paid to work, often loving nightime sewing and knitting etc, the peace is wonderful. Hope you enjoy the wagon wheel once it's done.

It was a QAL with many designers and there were so many errors that I just gave up. Then when over a year later I pulled it out again I just scrapped some of the blocks and made alternates, which made me really like it again. But by then I was exhausted with it and put it away again. I always use double binding, but not as wide on wallhangings etc.sue shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12325303490006303274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758475602275745268.post-60591256700752982802022-05-16T17:51:48.445-05:002022-05-16T17:51:48.445-05:00i put single binding on most of my small projects ...i put single binding on most of my small projects that won't get the hard everyday use and also on some of the larger ones too....cityquilter gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16769584628450845408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758475602275745268.post-57589362658847296612022-05-16T17:35:19.670-05:002022-05-16T17:35:19.670-05:00I stop when I get tired of a project, or get frust...I stop when I get tired of a project, or get frustrated with something that didn't work out the way it should. Or maybe I made a boo-boo and am too impatient to correct it. Or something new really calls to me. So many reasons. I am easily distracted!<br />I do like those wagon wheels, and that is a clever construction method.<br />My preference is double-fold binding for anything that will be keeping a body warm, and single-fold for anything that will hang on a wall, or sit on a tabletop.Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758475602275745268.post-75481357884882800912022-05-16T16:31:53.301-05:002022-05-16T16:31:53.301-05:00I stop because I love starting new projects.

But, usually I get interrupted by life and when I can sew again - that isn't the project I want to work on. I always use single fold binding, it's not as bulky. The wagon wheels look great.
