An innovative and less costly method of creating and transferring a quilting design, ready for quilting
The author of this blog developed a method that is quick and easy, using Press 'N Seal Freezer wrap, to produce a quilting design. This frezer wrap is easier to handle since it is a bit heavier than the regular and has a light blue tint to it - it costs no more than the regular variety.

Another method for binding the quilt with excellent illustrative photos.

The standard way to bind the quilt. Lots of photos.
First you need to cut your binding strip. Cut it 2 1/4" wide and long enough to go all the way around the quilt plus several inches to a foot. I usually go for an extra foot - you don't want to get all the way around and come up an inch short. Really. I've been there and done that and I never want to go there again. You'll probably need to join shorter strips together to get a strip that's long enough. Here's how. Click link to read more.

Perfectly rendered hand-quilting stitches have been admired and envied since the beginning of quilt making. Quilters view beautifully hand-stitched quilts with reverence, and often whisper, "Look at those stitches!" Yet, many quilters avoid hand-quilting because they're unhappy with their results.

This is a mini blog, but brings an important step in quiltmaking into focus.
Many quilters tend to skip a most important step prior to actual quilting, that of ensuring the finally pieced quilt top is in tiptop condition ready for quilting.

An in depth tutorial with great photos about making bias binding.
I love using bias binding on my quilts. I "only" use bias no matter what. I started out using Shelley's instructions and to this day still do. So everything here is from Shelley's instructions <http://pir8.freeservers.com/quilting/CBT/>, only the photos are mine.
