General Suggestions
Labels
- Labels are a must. If entering in the Nebraska State Fair, they should be placed on the bottom left corner. Your name and the date the quilt was completed is minimum information on a label.
Binding
- Binding should be full.
- Binding should have even width all around the quilt.
- Join binding strips at 45˚ angle to prevent bumps.
- Make sure corners are square.
- Miters on corners should be stitched closed.
- Use a walking foot to attach binding.
- Machine sewn binding is very difficult to complete so the corners on front and back are pleasing.
