    A subtle line ocolor can be addedby using a triple-stretch stitch in theditch where the binding meets the quilt top (see the redstitching along the binding o this piece). For a perect fnish, sew in the ditchbeore hand sewing the binding to the back; this will cover the line o machine stitching. Fora aster fnish, ater sewing the binding to the ront, pin it to the back and stitch in the ditch

    rom the ront, catching the binding on the reverse.

    For a quick and easyfnish, try the escape-hatch

    method (see The Pillowcase Technique).The opening is used closed, then hidden

    under the label.

    Clip o corner Cut notches

    Clip Clip into corner

    note: I do some additional quilting

    ater adding the pillowcase backing to

    keep the backing in place (see Step 10).

    tip: Avoid clipping into the stitched

    short stitch length to reinorce the seam

    and use a no-ray product where the

    clips approach the stitching.

    note: I you sear too close to the

    Also, you might melt your threads.Practice on a scrap and on the back side

    o the quilt beore working on the ront.

    Keep the heat tool somewhat vertical or

    you may accidentally melt the binding

    with the hot shat o the tool.

    You can use the same thread all the way around orchange thread colors to blend with the abric, as I did here.I wanted a variegated look at the night skys edge, but not a stripe,which happens when you machine zigzag stitch with variegatedthread. To avoid the stripe, I used ree-motion zigzag stitchingwith variegated thread.

    Tip:Its important that your stitch

    swings rom the outside edge o the yarn,

    on the right, into the quilt sandwich,

    on the let, with the center line (real or

    imaginary) running along the raw edge

    o the quilt.

    I twisted three yarns together

    as I applied them; you canvary the twist rom looseto tight. It can get tricky,especially on a large quilt,to twist several yarns as youstitch. Instead, you can sewthe yarns into one combinedstrand frst, then apply themto the edge o the quilt.

    It can get tricky, especially on a

    large quilt, to twist several yarnsas you stitch. Instead you cansew the yarns into one combinedstrand frst, then apply them tothe edge o the quilt.

    I twisted three yarns togetheras I applied them; you can vary

    the twist rom loose to tight.

    You can couch the yarn aroundthe outside edge o anypoking-out bits or, as I did,carry the yarn behind thosespots.
