JOIN STRIPS

To join strips of material for binding, first mitre the comers at each end. Cut across the corners, parallel to the cross grain (5). Place the ends to be joined at right angles to one another, with right sides together. Pin (6). Tack and machine. Tack the binding to the edge of the garment and machine, leaving a 1.5 cm (^ in) seam allowance. Take care to keep any joined seams in the binding flat when you machine over them W.
