A tutorial for Susie's Magic Binding is available from Aunt Marti's 52 Quilts. This is a back-to-front binding that yields a look of piping at the edge of the binding on the front. Also, try Jean's Genius Binding - it's a front-to-back binding without the flange. Both are finished with machine stitching - you need a stitch-in-the-ditch foot for your machine. No hand stitching required!

If you wish to keep the item more than one month (providing no one else is waiting to borrow the item), please "renew" it by filling in the new date.  Return books to the Librarian or to the location indicated near the cart.
