Here’s a quickie tip for you: keep your binding organized by wrapping it around your old thread cone cores. I go through a lot of thread, so have quite a few cores laying around. You don’t have to use the 2500 yard cones, either. I have lots of 1100 yard cores (they’re cardboard cores, but very sturdy) that I use for holding binding for my smaller projects. For that matter, you could use anything that let’s you wrap the binding neatly – paper towel cores, flashlight handles, anything!
Happy quilting!
