They had quite a few so I'm guessing there aren't a lot of sewists in my area! These would be perfect to wear on a quilt retreat (if I ever go on one).<br /><br />Color Catchers are a god send for those of us that don't prewash the stash!<br /><br />Re: applying hanging sleeves after binding: I don't usually add hanging sleeves but the one time I needed one I used invisible (monofilament) thread and stitched along the binding edge from the front to secure the top of the sleeve on the back. For the bottom of the sleeve I used the blind stitch function of the sewing machine (again with monofilament) to hem the bottom of the sleeve to the quilt (just like you would for clothing). I've given in to doing hand work for applique and quilting but draw the line at hanging sleeves!

They should be at least I/2 inch below the top binding. The sleeve should extend from side binding to side binding."<br /><br />Like you, I'd always thought they should go into the binding.<br /><br />Have fun!Janet Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687441600791162599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-44994122503660012532015-09-17T23:21:00.238-04:002015-09-17T23:21:00.238-04:00Sweet sweet Emmy Lou!

Put the top of the hanger over the rail and clipped the edges of the quilt to the hanger. Might not work as well for Blue Heaven as it is so heavy, but I'm going to try it with some smaller quilts.
