I am in the group and have been for a while and I have never understood why people thought attaching the binding in advance was a hack/shortcut... until I watched this! I thought you were attaching your 2 pieces of the back AND trying to fold over that binding all in one step. That did not work for me. Now I see you connect the bag pieces and then just roll over the binding. Can't wait to try this!

I made this bag today. What a torture in sewing. I tried your hack for applying the binding on one side and ByAnnies way on the other side. I found Annie’s way to work better for me. I think the stitching before hand helped squish the seam down and made it easier to work with. I learned a lot and since I am a glutton for punishment will make another. Hopefully easier the next time.

The thought of this "hack" briefly fluttered through my brain a while back. In one ear, out the other. Thank you so much for documenting the "Hack" ! I will be using this on my ByAnnie projects going forward! (I don't use FB, due to personal aversion to censorship in general. Have you considered also posting on Rumble, X, or Truth Social? I would definitely follow you and your group there!)

I first saw this method of binding seams from Rosie’s.
@randisroost3 ай бұрын
Great! Who's Rosie? Do they have a channel? I love learning from other bag makers. 🙂
So… I tried this method. The binding went on the zippered loop like a dream but when I went to sew on the side pieces the binding attaching had stretched the fabric on the zipper strip enough that the bag didn’t fit together nicely. Annie’s method isn’t hard except the joining is more difficult than it needs to be. I use her method but join the binding as I normally would on the other side of the bag - that side fit together perfectly.
@randisroost Жыл бұрын
Sorry it didn't work out for you. If you decide to try it again, try not to stretch the binding so much. That's probably what caused the issue.
@krystidavidson19632 жыл бұрын
After attaching the binding and clip the sides on, do you suggest attaching the sides and then turn the binding and then attach the binding (basically sew the parameter twice)? Or do some people attach the sides, turn the binding and attach the binding all at once (only sew the parameter once)? I prefer the first, but what do most people do?
@randisroost2 жыл бұрын
I suggest sewing the binding on, then attaching the front and back of the bag, and then sewing the binding down. I don't think one line of stitching would be sturdy enough. Remember that sewing over Soft and Stable compresses it, too, so it's always a good idea to sew a seam more than once in final assembly.
