It's decorative from both sides and quickly binds the back as well. I've used this successfully to enhance charity quilts. And without the added time of hand binding, I can get on to the next project faster.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05206971105008663908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15928662.post-65558891407204452052008-07-25T11:57:00.000-07:002008-07-25T11:57:00.000-07:00Thanks so much for posting this tip.
