Patterns, patchworks and projects
Carolyn the Crafter bought this portable light table from HearthSong, not as an accessory for the Fashion Design Studio Kit
, but for her quilting projects. She had this to say about the Light Tracer.
Good on Carolyn for sharing this alternate use of a product designed for kids. Go to Light Tracer for further product details.
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
I have one also and love it
I made my own light box from a pane of clear glass (out of an old frame), 4 wooden sewing spools glued to each corner, and a stick on light (like you might put in a closet) underneath. Didnt spend a dime since I had all the supplies at home already. Not portable, but works just as well.
Nice job. I love thrift, though I may just spring for the one at HearthSong. W
