I love to sew, mainly quilts and bags. I am 66, married to Fred and have one son, Matthew, who is 27. I enjoy embroidery and applique and prefer to machine piece and quilt my projects. I love my vintage Singer sewing machines especially my Featherweight 222K. I’m enjoying treadling on my 201K Singer and I collect Miniature Sewing Machines and currently have three Essex , one Singer 20, one Singer 40, two Vulcan Miniatures and my latest, a Grain. My love of sewing I believe comes from my Grandmother - I still have the drawings she made for me to embroider on tea towels many many years ago!

PREPARING TO ADD THE BINDING

SMOOTH OUT THE BORDER

TRIM UP THE SIDES PARALLEL WITH THE LAST SEAM

MAKE SURE THE CORNERS ARE A TRUE 90 DEGREE ANGLE (THIS ENSURES A NICE MITRED BINDING CORNER)

Then go out for coffee with best friend:-)

I'll be sewing the binding on tonight!

Cheers from Helen
