About 5 yards binding 2 inch wide. (I make my own; do not cut on bias by
cutting 2 inch strips out of a yard of material. Then sew them end to end, and
then iron up one side about ¼ inch, then do the other side.
Sew #3 to side of square 1. Iron seams flat.
# 4 |
seams flat.
Sandwich lining between top and backing, pin in place.
Pick a stitch you like, sew around square #1, down the seam line.
Sew around square between # 3 and 4, down the seam line.
Starting mid way down one side, attach binding. I used the leaf
stitch, so you would center this so that is comes just a bit of the right side
so that both sides of the stitching will hold the binding down.
