It is a mess. <a href="http://www.thecollectionmarts.com/product-category/bedding/" rel="nofollow">cotton queen size sheets on sale</a> , <a href="http://www.thecollectionmarts.com/product-category/comforter-set/" rel="nofollow">cheap luxury comforter sets</a> Especially when I dump the contents out on my bed and start digging. It might be smart to separate them, but I rarely look for a specific piece. I usually just start cutting and sewing. I do have a box full of 5 inch squares and another with 2 1/2 inch strips because I was working on a project and didn't get around to completing it. I should just dump those in with my other scraps so I can see them every day.double bed razai pricehttp://www.thecollectionmarts.com/product-category/razai-set/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-78855448033466277.post-34705735348577115192016-12-22T04:55:43.262-07:002016-12-22T04:55:43.262-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.All Round Reticulationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16975456862547414886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-78855448033466277.post-65546784014260361372016-08-01T12:42:53.478-06:002016-08-01T12:42:53.478-06:00Me too.

I have pinned a couple of good binding techniques recently though that I might try. In regard to scraps you know me...I don't ever save little pieces and I want all my pieces neatly piled and pressed so even my 2 1/2" strips and charm squares have drawers of their own.Aunt Jacquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04831780555039266078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-78855448033466277.post-91609019495747158742016-07-28T20:41:35.032-06:002016-07-28T20:41:35.032-06:00It all gets saved -- I can hardly throw anything o...It all gets saved -- I can hardly throw anything out.

I have some organization to my scraps but want to improve as I have some ideas percolating for them. Up until recently I hand stitched all my bindings down as I do prefer that look but machine stitching IS faster, and like Paige, I am improving.

I used to dread doing it, but I've come to enjoy it! It's very relaxing to just sit down and watch a movie or something on TV while doing this and it doesn't take as long as I used to think. I am SO JEALOUS that you have friends who send you their scraps! NICE! I keep most of my scraps but not stuff like the size of HST trimmings. I supposed they would make good stuffing though.Janice Holtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803878601842686593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-78855448033466277.post-14335828101507355432016-07-27T09:16:21.530-06:002016-07-27T09:16:21.530-06:00I used to keep even the threads and tiniest bits t...I used to keep even the threads and tiniest bits to make door stoppers to block the cold air in the winter, but I haven't done that in awhile. <br />I bet the birds' nests in your area are so pretty! :)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13942853868409355316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-78855448033466277.post-43956340955310663752016-07-27T07:54:05.710-06:002016-07-27T07:54:05.710-06:00I keep all of my scraps.

The tiniest bits go out to the birds for nesting materials. <br />I usually machine bind, but I have not been happy with the lack of perfection I sometimes get. I'm hand sewing a binding now, just because I'm feeling the urge to be perfect.

That is the question. I have always hand stitched my binding and have never used a machine. But, if the day ever comes when wonky machine stitching ever comes into it's own I will be up there :)Kate @ Smiles From Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17525561534884021883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-78855448033466277.post-71357807099159248302016-07-25T15:06:15.994-06:002016-07-25T15:06:15.994-06:00I keep every tiny little scrap of batik, cotton fa...I keep every tiny little scrap of batik, cotton fabric not so much. My hand sewing is not good now, so I do the flange binding, and then after sewing it onto the back, bring to the front and use the hemming foot to sew along the very edge of the flange.
