Have my binding all ready to put on my 'Singing the Blues' little quilt and the sleeve cut out. I read that it should be 5" + the 1/4" on the long sides for seams, and then the width of the quilt less about 2".
I know I stitch it into the top seam when the binding goes on, but have found conflicting views on where I stitch the bottom line (slip stitch by hand). How far down from where the binding is stitched do I sew it? I have no idea how thick the dowels its to be threaded on will be - the display will be for little quilts 24" x 24" or less, so they won't be heavy.
I've finished all the quilting and am now doing the embellishment, and soon little blue bird will have his beak! I've started at the top where the sleeve will go, so won't sew through it by mistake.
At the moment it's eyes down every free moment (and there seem to be too few of those - too many other committments, I must learn to say 'no'!!) so I'm not reading much - just a quick whizz through. When it's done will post pictures.
