When you go to sew the binding onto the quilt after you make the cording, are you supposed to switch the bobbin back to regular thread? I didn't catch that part if it was explained. Won't it just come all apart and fall of the quilt if you use the water soluble to attach the binding?
Hi Oleg, Yes, you need regular thread in the bobbin when sewing the binding on the quilt. The wash away thread is only used for stitching the cording down the middle of the binding fabric. Thanks for watching. ~Sara~
Why not use the wash-away thread in the top so that it too will wash away with the bobbin thread? I too would like to see how you manage the corners using this technique. I think this is a great idea and will try it the next time I bind.
Wash away thread is a little pricy so it's a waste of money to use it as the top thread.The top thread ends up on the inside never to be seen again. Also wash away on top and bottom sometimes gets a little temperamental.
Answer the REPEATED questions, especially if you want money for your videos as you requested. Any why do you use wash away thread in the bobbin but not on the top? Why not the same in both?
I don't get the point of the yarn at all. I machine stitch my binding all the time. You are doing exactly what I do but you added a step with the yarn and used feet and water soluble thread that many will not have on hand. Really, just make your binding as usual, sew onto the front, as usual, pull the binding around to the back and stitch in the ditch on the front. You will catch the binding on the back and boom, you're done. You do all of these things too but added the step of putting in the yarn just making a simple technique more time consuming and cumbersome. Oh well, to each his own.
The yarn helps her know exactly where the edge of the binding is on the back side when stitching in the ditch from the other side. Her stitch line is then nice and straight and even from the binding’s edge-not missing the binding in some spots or going in too far in on other spots. Wish she’d shown us the back side though and the corner work as others have mentioned.
great idea I will be trying this. But I would have loved to see the other side once you were finished.
I love your technique! Very nice idea. Thanks
What a fabulous idea. Thank you for sharing.
Excellent tutorial!!
Great tutorial. However, I'd love for you to demonstrate what you do when you get to a corner.
Thanks!
Yes, what do you do on the corners?
Indeed, what you do on the corners would be helpful. Also what thread do you use on top?
A little more in depth would be very helpful. What does the back look like and as others have mentioned... How do you manage the corners?
When you wash the quilt how does the binding look when the 100% cotton yard shrinks up?
Yep I would also like to know how you do the corners a demo would be nice
if you watch it again she does show you the back, when she first starts
Has the corner set up been videotaped yet? What to do with the ends?

Common sense would tell you to use regular thread in top and bobbin to attach the binding to the quilt!DUH!!
@@zazmau my goodness that’s not kind!

Wow!
does the yarn shrink when it's washed?
My thought also. I have used that yarn before and it does have a high shrink rate.
Thank you. Great tutorial. I would also like to see what you do on a corner. :-)

The wash away thread is on the top. In the bobbin you don't need it because you won't see it.
