This is such a great tutorial! I haven’t been so lucky with finding a step by step tutorial for the curvy log cabin trim tool though. As a beginner those step by step tutorials are the difference between making a beautiful successful block or wasting time and Money, being frustrated and upset because you just can’t get a a good block no matter how hard you try.
I’ve had this little gem for several years. I just recently put it to use and I love it! I have found that a dab of fabric glue holds the edges together better than a pin. Its one of my favorite creative grid tools now! Thank you Creative Grids USA!
I bought the tool & it is Soooo worth it. Just used it at a 2 day retreat & it made piecing & finishing my binding 1000% easier & more accurate. Also had mismeasured a couple of border strips, so needed to do some quick piecing & this tool made that a breeze.
The formula is 1\4 in less then width of your binding for the over lap and you won't have any excess. In otherword if your binding is 2.5 then your overlap should be 2.25 and not 2.5.
