store to return the binding this afternoon. I think I may have to settle for a wide cotton-type quilt binding. It's not what I wanted, but I REALLY don't want to create my own binding with satin yardage. It is just maddening though, you know? Such a simple thing. To cheapen it to save a few pennies is just nuts -- but what the heck, who sews any more anyway? Just us old farts . . . and once we die off, anyone who sews will never know what a decent binding used to be.
