Malena even confesses that she has never sewn a binding before. So Johanna breaks down the different approaches. They talk about choosing fabrics, calculating width and stretch, and working with a coverstitch binder or a regular sewing machine.French binding, zigzag stitching, basting and stitch-in-the-ditch techniques also make an appearance in this meaty episode.
