I actually have one!
Many people have mentioned how a
" binding library " is a great idea and it is !
I realized recently that I actually have one!
I carefully place (stuff) all my partial and
left over bindings into a space on a shelf!
Binding library!
It was a huge mess so I measured up
the widths, and lengths , labeled and here it is!
I have to be honest and reveal
that someone sparked the project
by giving me binding pieces labelled
and folded so I just completed
the work and it was born!
Oh and I do only keep " significant lengths",
about 30 inches or what ever
feels comfortably long enough to join
with another piece to make a scrap binding.
I have even used a few binding right out of the bin!
NO NEED to CUT , FOLD or IRON!
It was a great feeling.
Notice in there a box of commercial binding.
Those get used for tying up gift quilts ,
and binding pot holders or placemats.
Sometimes, I just cant find a good color
so they are my backups.
Going to the library and just picking out a piece,
works great for a smaller quilt.
There are even a few large pieces!
So start stuffing those significant pieces
of binding in one spot and
make your own binding library.
The little short pieces?
Stuff those in their size strip drawer!
Sew on and stay safe!
