This is how I did my binding last time. Yup, rolled around a Dixie cup and the little scrap triangles stuffed inside the cup. Nice, neat, and because the cup is waxed it removes really neat if you want.
I went on a binge ordering bobbins because I reached the point where I was unwinding bobbins by hand just to use them again because I was out. So lets just say I am stocked up for awhile. I like to wind a lot at a time of the same thread, especially piecing thread. And then of course I am always using the opposite machine of what I already have a bobbin in such color wound for.
So here is the quilt that I bound with this binding:
Lesson learned quilting this quilt is that let yourself be free when you machine quilt. The quilting went so fast, I was ultra relaxed about it and just did what came into my head, some loop de loops, some swirls, I just went with the fabric.
All the fabrics are from stash, even the backing was on-hand, so it felt really good to know that a whole quilt came out of my collection, and no it is not now just sitting on the shelf collecting dust, but out doing good service in the world.
