Random Quick Tip!

Easy Quilt Binding Holder
When making cotton quilt binding, as you iron it, let the length of it fall into a clean one gallon sized bucket and then when you go to sew it onto your quilt, you can take the whole bucket, to your sewing machine, set it on the floor between your feet, pin the beginning end of your binding to your quilt where you want to start it and while you are sewing it onto your quilt it will easily come up from the bucket as you place and stitch the binding to the quilt.
