And even though I have pre-scheduled this blog for today, because I am really busy (at least I think I will be, since today is only Wednesday and you are reading this Sunday) doing Easter stuff with my family, I hope you will comment, if not today, hopefully tomorrow, so I will have some answers to this very interesting question!
Things I found on the net today...
1. Neck tie apron. Picture only, but how interesting is this.
2. Here is another one.
3. Went to check out a commenters blog and found this recipe for microwaved Rice Krispie squares.
4. I found these great printable fabric tags. I could have used these a few weeks ago. I have a small bit of fabric that I would love to have more of, but I have no idea where I got it or what it is called. These tags would have helped!

I press in half first, makes adding the binding just a little more mindless, sometimes I just need some mindless sewing.
I press it in half first - makes it faster and easier to stitch it on.
I used to press in half first but I discovered that the fold was not always exact when I did that and sometimes it caused a"ruffle" in my binding. Now I lays fold as I attach and press after it is attached. It's a little bit more in icky, but I am more happy with my binding.
Finicky. Not in icky. Sometimes I hate auto correct. Lol
I have always folded and pressed before sewing. But now that I think about it, I don't know why. It is just like one of my co-workers used to say, "it's always been done this way."
I fold and press. I like having the crisp edge to line up with the edge of quilt since I don't like to pin.
I also fold and press the binding before sewing to my quilt.
iron in half, i love ironing!
