I don't think I'll be trying the other one you mentioned..this one was enough for me for now. At least I'm learning and it is relaxing to me (between finger pricks and sailor swearing!) but hey no one hears that!Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11444166328588502576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702661486736593988.post-6936829743734431702011-04-19T03:20:59.192-04:002011-04-19T03:20:59.192-04:00Coptic binding?

The one I find the most difficult (and end up with hands resembling a well used pin cushion) is the Secret Belgian Binding. Too many pieces to hold in place and then sew together - drove me nuts - which is why I only ever tried to make two of them!<br />Good luck!Dianehttp://dianealdred.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702661486736593988.post-6384261444609343092011-04-18T22:33:03.947-04:002011-04-18T22:33:03.947-04:00Thanks so much, Diane!
