Somewhere, I saw a post by a quilting physical therapist suggeting that when binding you should have the binding closest to you with the quilt body away from you. Your hand holding the binding down won't get as tired. Try it. It will take a little getting used to.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12822046025320008846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817820347187266303.post-78761138217503902822014-09-23T08:57:47.460-06:002014-09-23T08:57:47.460-06:00I love hand sewing the binding on too.

I recline the seat just a few degrees and the tightness is gone. Sometimes I spend up to 5 hours hand stitching while my husband drives to my daughter's house and changing position by a few degrees for some reason helps.stitchinpennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06341867288910993051noreply@blogger.com
