I am working at binding some pieces made a long time ago. This one is 5 1/2" X 9" and from a Sue Benner class on landscapes, maybe six years ago.
The scene is from an island in Puget Sound, Washington. So calm, showing Mt. Baker with a clear sky until a large black cloud rolls in. I am not happy with the cloud, it looks a little like a submarine, but that is what I could find in the fabrics on hand. I have tried to lighten it with some white pencil.
Anyway, the finish on the edge is what I think of as blended, overcast binding. Using the widest zigzag on my machine and changing the thread color to match the color of the fabric. It is a time consuming process with all the thread ends to bury. But I do like the look.
