I opted for a glue stick! |
Happy Thanksgiving! But before I slip into cooking mode, then eating mode, then food comma mode, I would like to tell you about my latest experiment! Gluing bindings before machine stitching, no pins, no clips! Yup, it's true and it works like a charm.
Jenny at Sew Kind Of Wonderful had this tip!

I pressed the binding in place (otherwise it didn't stick) |
