Cross section of applied binding
I'm still trying to figure out the waist binding! On the left is how I think the binding is supposed to be applied, with the raw edges of binding and skirt matched up on the wrong side of skirt and with the folded edge of binding sewn down on the front of skirt. In the middle is what I did to sew the binding on. FYI - my binding is 3/4" wide when folded. I used a 1/4' seam allowance and turned the whole binding over to the front. That means the seam where I first sewed the binding to the skirt is on top! Will that work okay? And which way is the binding really supposed to be applied? The rightmost photo shows how the binding looks from the front. No binding is visible on the back - just the seam line from the front stitching. Thanks so much for helping me out!!
