delld Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 You may remember this quilt a couple of weeks ago. Phyllis came by and asked it I would show her how to stitch the binding on. Said okay and showed her, Then she says, " My Love, would consider doing it for me?' Well I said I would machine stitch and she could hand stitch it the back. Well working here with Quilt Path and watching to make sure QP and Frannie Ann were working well together, I stitched by hand. Phyllis is coming to pick it up this afternoon. She has no idea the binding is DONE!!!!! Yep, my finger hurts cause I just can't use a thimble!!!! 20160907_095757 by Dell Dunman, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbams Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 I have to have a thimble to hand-stitch anything these days. Leather ones, with an opening for my fingernail, are my favorite. You are a very thoughtful person to do this for Phyllis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlsa3 Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Beautiful quilt. I'm trying to learn to machine stitch the binding...not too bad but need more practice. I figure another 35 or so quilts and I'll be good at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilta93 Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Beautiful quilt and that is so special of you to bind it. I could never use a thimble until a friend showed me how to hand quilt years ago. She used a thimble on each hand. I thought, no way! Now I almost always use a thimble when I hand sew. Deb.

LisaC Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 I am loving those sticky dots instead of a thimble! You can use them multiple times, too. They just stick on the end of your finger. Jillily Studio makes Poke-A-Dots ( I haven't tried those yet) or Colonial makes Thimble Pads which are leather; which are the ones I've been using. I did not like the oval shaped plastic ones; they caught my thread and fell off my finger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They work great! Wonderful quilt, Dell! Your friend will definitely be surprised! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
