After teaching for 24 years and then fulfilling my dream of having a quilt shop, I retired the end of August 2007. Having the shop for almost 8 years was wonderful...I had a great time, met lots of people that I am happy to call friends, but the time came to retire. Andy retired in April, so the time was right. I'm loving spending time with him and getting to go see my 2 grandsons, granddaughter, son and daughter-in-law whenever I want. And I get to SEW!
I had a brain freeze when I published...I should have done them in reverse order. So if you want to know how the Fons & Porter Binding Tool works you'll have to go to the 3rd post and read backwards. Sorry everyone.
I forgot to add that whn Pixel had his tummy surgery the idiots made a running stitch seam. One solid line. Being a small cat he could get away better than a dog and picked the closet to sleep. I check that boy every 15 minutes to make sure he was sleeping and NOT licking. Then I took a 5 minute shower one day and he pulled the WHOLE thing out except for maybe an inch! On day 5. Luckily 7 days is the absolute cut off. They took out the last few and he healed perfectly, but the doc said the animals are very smart about getting those things out. I bought the cone but couldn't use it. SO I know of what you speak...stay strong!

Great tutorial!
Now, if you want to send that quilt to me I'll be happy to sew down the binding for you. ;-)
Bear in mind that it might take me a very long time. teehee
Thanks for the tutorial! I'll have to come back and use it when I get another binding on. I will be just a little while.
By the way, that quilt looks great!
OMG ROFLOL!!!!! I forgot it is backwards huh?? So YOU are the one losing it not me.
Well, now isn't that a snappy little method *s*
