I’ve had the quilting done for the Urban Nature quilt for some time now. The next step was binding. Admittedly I was a nervous to do the binding mostly because at 95 x 95 working on the outer 1/4 inch of the quilt all the way around really made me nervous. Today I decided to take the plunge. And it really wasn’t all that bad. Dare I say no more challenging than the 60 x 70 quilts I’ve done.
I’ve noticed lately that if the presser foot pressure is the same as it is when you sew or piece the top when you are trying to sew the binding it creates too much pressure causing the binding fabric to shift in ways you don’t necessary want. (I realize I didn’t explain that well, but I’m not sure how else to explain it). So I decided to experiment with the presser foot pressure, and I found that if I decrease the pressure just a bit the binding sews on beautifully. For example with regular sewing on my machine the presser foot pressure is set to 6. When I free motion quilt I set the presser to 2, and with the binding I set the dial between 4 and 5. Anyway, I’ve never heard of decreasing the presser foot pressure for binding, but for me it made a big difference.
yay! It’s coming out so beautifully..it looks like you are in the home stretch now! I can’t wait to see it!
Thanks Jen!
I precisely wished to say thanks all over again. I am not sure the things I would’ve worked on without the suggestions revealed by you about that field. It was a frightening matter for me personally, however , seeing this specialised style you solved the issue took me to leap for happiness. I’m thankful for the information and even hope you realize what a great job you have been undertaking instructing the rest using a web site. Most probably you haven’t come across any of us.

Amazing blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers?
I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress
or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that
I’m totally overwhelmed .. Any tips? Thanks a lot!
Howdy excellent blog! Does running a blog like this require a great deal
of work? I have very little knowledge of programming however I
was hoping to start my own blog in the near future. Anyway,
if you have any ideas or tips for new blog owners please
share. I know this is off topic but I just needed to ask.
Kudos!
