Wendi from Shiny Happy World guest blogs at Made by Joel with a tutorial showing how to stitch up one of his line drawings. She gives you design transfer tips and then provides links to four common embroidery stitch how-to videos. To top it off, she talks about the process (did she take the pledge?) on how she chooses what areas to embroider and which stitches to use. Get the tutorial.

Bind Like a Boss – Video Tutorial
Welcome to an exciting quilting journey as this video guides you through the art of machine binding, ensuring a polished finish for your quilting projects. Join us in unraveling the secrets of machine binding mastery with this step-by-step tutorial video.
This machine binding tutorial is hands down the best I’ve come across, and I’ve been avidly watching quilting tutorials for years. The technique of leaving about an 1/8th of an inch of the quilt backing fabric visible during binding application was a revelation! Why didn’t I think of that before? It’s clear how this seemingly simple step can significantly enhance accuracy and overall appearance. Currently, I’m free-motion quilting the last two bordered sides of a large quilt, and I’m genuinely excited about the binding process
Thanks so much for featuring my guest post over at Made By Joel. But now I’m curious. . . what is this pledge you mentioned? About process? I haven’t taken it, but I love reading about process so I’m intrigued. . .
Hi Wendi!
In a nutshell, we bloggers have a tendency to show and talk only about our final product, instead of showing all the twists and turns and often ugliness of the journey to get there. Listen, if you could see some of my “process” sewing you’d fall on the floor laughing…it’s that bad. 🙂
Here’s a link to information on The Process Pledge: http://r0ssie.blogspot.com/2010/05/process-pledge.html
