Thanks, this gives me good ideas for finally using up the blocks I’ve collected in swaps & lottos. I can’t afford to send my quilts to a Longarmer anymore.

This is such a huge help. Thank you. I am just about finished piecing a rail fence quilt for a work colleague’s new baby and didn’t want to have to hand sew the binding. I think I will use the feather stitch on my machine. It just seems so easy and obviously quicker than hand sewing the binding.

i was tickled to see an old blanket used as the batting. that is what i use too. Quilting was about using up materials instead of throwing them out, and I enjoy that sense of thrift and frugality. That’s the beauty of quilting.

Thanks for the instructions! I’m a beginner and found these to be great! We still use my great-great-grandmothers quilt on our bed (over a 100 years old) and she had knots on it like these and I couldn’t figure out how she did it but these instructions worked! Thanks!
