For the binding, is it correct that you simply edgestitch the raw edge on the front first, without any folding under you'd do on a traditional bind? If I'm understanding correctly, this is because scuba doesn't fray, so it's ok that the raw edge of the binding is exposed?Nykolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18431822602753062611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-783581788718822654.post-61519649070567918002017-03-21T12:09:59.886-05:002017-03-21T12:09:59.886-05:00Thanks so much!Thanks so much!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04902851872749998189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-783581788718822654.post-68693446286175154632017-03-21T07:32:19.612-05:002017-03-21T07:32:19.612-05:00That is really beautiful.

The lapped seams are a nice detail but wow, what a lot of extra work they require; trimming, overlapping, hand basting, and top stitching.
