Awesome

 

What are you using to attach the binder mechanism? It looks cleaner than the way I do it. I drill out the posts on a binder, and attach it with some # 6 brass screws and nuts, or SS.

Crisp stampin', even colors, clean uncluttered look, contrasting stitchin'.... AND you didn't drown it with that ant-streak crap!  I like it :thumbsup:

One simple "fix"?  Keep a piece of 3/4 or 4/5 ish leather next to yer machine - size of a belt keeper all you need.  When you turn a corner (like in the middle of your binder spine piece), set it on the leather under the center presser foot and you won't git that 'booger' outside the stitch line.  

Just stitch to the turn, lift the foot like normal, slip the slip under there before setting the foot back down, and resume stitching.  No booger ;)

Note there is another way, but that way is SO simple to do AND to explain ...

Thanks for the tip JLS. And yes I used Chicago screws. Had some fancy domed top ones.
