Flange Binding Die: Flange binding is a favorite technique for adding machine finished binding to quilt projects. This technique not only gives you an attractive machine finish, but it creates a wonderful accent to the whole quilt project. The GO! Flange Binding die makes it easy to cut perfect strips for flange binding, sashing, narrow borders and more! The flange is made by sewing a 1½" main fabric strip and a contrasting 1¾" accent fabric strip together to create the binding.
