I think the 3nbo is going to be my answer... too bad I hate doing it!<br /><br />I tried binding off with the EZ sewn BO and still had the same issue. Better luck next time!Yarnexploderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05860884512256681331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7535867171703916685.post-72047311496056428862011-12-10T13:26:39.264-06:002011-12-10T13:26:39.264-06:00I'm doing the barn raising quilt and had the s...I'm doing the barn raising quilt and had the same problem until I left the last round on scrap and 3 needle bins off the squares together.

(well, almost anything. but esp things you want to be stretchy.) Once you get a stretchier cast off done, the whip stitch thing should be a leetle better bc you can kinda stretch things out a touch when you're seaming. But really, no matter what, the seaming isn't going to be as stretchy as the fabric as it's doing what it's meant to do and that's be stable. :/ You could always solve that be leaving all the stitches live and then grafting them all together and that would be the ultimate in keeping the stretchy but it would also be a royal pita if you don't like grafting (which, honestly, I don't like grafting at all.)<br /><br />Sorry for the book. Haha! I just kinda started talking/typing and then all of a sudden I had this long comment written!

THEN bind off very loosely with the sewn bind off or something, and then seam them together.Harahunenoreply@blogger.com
