I prefer the diagonal joining of the binding, but whether you use the straight join like Jen did or the diagonal join it looks much nicer if you plan ahead and get the join to fall on the side preferably right on the side seam instead of center back (which on me is center front half the time!

Instead of doing 1/2 seam for the sides, I did a French seam so theres no open edges inside the bag. Got the idea from another bag pattern and it worked great here too.

This is an excellent tutorial. I would have never been able to make this bag from the directions provided with the pattern. June Taylor's instructions were terrible.

Love your videos. Thank you for taking the time to film them for us. On a video posted August 28 2018 you had a video called How to Make Magic Binding. In it ( filmed with Tammy doing the demo) it was said to make sure there was a quarter inch gap between the two ends when you fold back the fabric and press. Then sew across for the diagonal joining of the two ends. This video shows butting the two ends together before pressing. Does it work both ways? I have tried the one with the quarter inch gap and it did work.

On the handles, when ironing without the steam-a-seam, use a Taylor's clapper to hold that fold until it's cool... usually the time it takes to iron the next section you can slide the clapper over. Don't have a clapper? Just use any scrap of unpainted wood. Mine is partical board and it works great. 💜🌞🌵

Wish you showed inside the bag to see those raw seams. Why would June Tailor not suggest French seams or a lining. The lining on the patchwork could then act as a interlining. Like the bag but will change it to do the above so you can't see the open seam. What do you think?

You can definitely use bias tape on the box seams if you'd like. If you choose to sew a french seam for the sides, you'll want to be careful as you'll need to factor in the batting thickness and you may want to choose to not completely trim your fabrics (Like Jen does at timestamp 10:15) to allow for the extra length needed to create one.

Getting ready to make this and have a few questions… do you put in a machine knot in at the end of each strip? If I starch the strips before won’t they shrink and leave me with too little width to match up with the preprinted lines?

@ShabbyFabrics

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Renee- We typically find that using a spray (like Magic Sizing) prior to ironing doesn't shrink our fabric, but if that is your concern, you may want to test it on a swatch of the fabric you plan on using, prior to committing to it. We do not put machine knots in at the end of each strip after we sew- we do backstitch a bit. Regarding the pre-printed lines- those lines are just placement guides, so it's okay if your fabric doesn't line up 100%. As long as you're sewing with a quarter-inch seam allowance, your strips should be fine. Hope this makes sense! 💖 -Michelle
