I made a doll quilt before Christmas and realized I’d never posted a tutorial on this quick and easy binding method. Since I know a lot of you are beginners…this is a really great way to dip your toes into binding a quilt. I especially love it for small things like hot pads,...Read More
Recently I've had several people ask me how I bind my quilts. So I thought that this would be a perfect time to show you how I do it:) Yesterday I made a quilt for Dolly and I took pics of my machine quilting and binding process. It's the same way that I bind every quilt or project...no matter the size. I'm no stranger to hand quilting... I grew up around the quilting frames. But because of my design schedule... I usually send my quilts out to be machine quilted. That seems to be the norm now a days and I do love me a beautiful machine quilted quilt! When I have smaller projects such as my new Dolly quilt... I simply quilt them on my Bernina. I cut my backing fabric a few inches larger than my quilt top... around all 4 sides. I cut my batting the same size as my backing fabric. I ALWAYS use a walking foot when I am machine quilting. A walking foot allows the top, middle and bottom layer of the quilt to feed through the machine at the same speed... so that means no shifting... gathering or puckers when quilting. Nice!!! After I have finished my quilting... I quilt 1/8" from the edge to hold it down nice and flat for binding... then I trim the excess batting and backing fabric away. Sometimes I like to add trim in my bindings. For the Dolly quilt...I sewed 1/2" pink ric-rac on the edge. I fold the rid-rac like this on each corner and if there is any ric-rac sticking out past the edges of the quilt... I simply trim it off. Don't worry about those trimmed off edges fraying... they will be within the binding:) When I take my 1/4" seam allowance with the binding..it will look like this. I cut two 2 1/2" x Width of Fabric strips for the binding. For this quilt I will need about 80" of binding. My formula for determining how many inches I need for a quilt goes like this. 1. Measure the length of all 4 sides of your quilt top. 2. Add them together. 3. Add 10"... 4. That is how many inches you will need! *NOTE - if you are binding anything that has a curve at all to it... you will need to cut your strips on the bias!!! I cut the selvedge off of each strip.... And join them together on the diagonal... like this. I trim off the excess... And press the seams open for less bulk around the edge of the quilt. Then I press the whole strip in half with WRONG SIDES together. I unfold one end and fold it down like this... And then fold it back to wrong sides together. I place the raw unfolded edges even with the edges of the quilt.... the fold goes towards the inside of the quilt top. I start by sewing the end I have folded like this.... and I leave a tail by stitching about 2" down from my fold. I use a 1/4" seam allowance and I always use my walking foot when sewing on binding to keep the layers even. I keep sewing until I am 1/4" from the first corner. I lift the foot up ...leaving the needle down and pivot the quilt on an angle like this. Then I sew at an angle off the edge of the corner and clip my threads. I DO NOT CUT MY BINDING STRIP AT ANYTIME. Then I lift the binding straight up... And fold it back down like this. The raw edges are even with the side of the quilt again and I'm ready to sew the binding on the next side of the quilt. When starting on a new side... I simply start at the top... sewing through the folded corner and backstitch at the beginning to secure. I continue sewing all 4 sides of the quilt and do each corner exactly the same as the first one. When I get back to the side where I started... I trim the end on the diagonal ... Making sure that I leave it long enough so that I can unfold the folded tail at the beginning and tuck it inside... like this. Then I simply continue sewing until I reach my first stitches... Then I sew on top of them about 1/2" and backstitch. By tucking the raw edge inside the folded end that I started with... I have a completely finished seam! Then I fold the binding to the back of the quilt and whip stitch it into place. I always start my hand stitching where I started my machine stitching. I do a blind whip stitch... and I fold the binding just past the 1/4" seam line on the back. When I get to the corners I fold them over to the back and sew just to the machine stitching. Then I fold the other side in just past the stitching and stitch them together with 2-3 stitches...like this. I continue in the same way all the way around... Until I get to my first fold in the binding. I also do a blind whip stitch to hold it down and the I knot off. I hide my tail between the layers and trim...just like when hand quilting. And my Dolly quilt is completely bound. And ready to give to Dolly:) Have a quilty kind of day my friends!!! xx Lori
