I'll be able to do this even on small quilt blocks, although I'm not sure how it will work for double fold binding. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

I've watched so many videos on binding, still not brave enough to do it, but soon! But honestly, this video is making me feel more courageous...... you are a very good teacher, and your voice is so calm and easy to listen to. Yours is the most beautiful binding I've seen so far. I suppose the difference is doing it by hand, rather than machine binding. Also, many tutorials are always RUSHING, going so fast, it gets sloppy. I'm sort of handicapped by perfectionism.... ugh... so I think when I finish my first real quilt I will HAVE to bind it by hand. Thank you for making it look so easy! Do you personally have more videos about quilting? I would watch them all! Thx again!

I was taught that bias binding was used on shaped type pieces, circles, ovals, scalloped edges, etc., and that it was fine to use lengthwise cut strips for square & rectangle shapes. Or, if some stretch was needed for some reason, cross wise strips were used. I will definately the method described in my next project. Thank you for a great videio!

Thank you for the video. This is exactly the way I used to bind the edges of my patchwork projects in the distant past. Just back to making patchwork covers and hangings, after a long long time away from my sewing machine. Checked out a folding/double binding video, but that technique seems so clumsy and chunky. Double-binding also seems to give a home-made feel to the work; rather than the beautiful handcrafted look demonstrated in this excellent video.

Very helpful tip have had a couple of mishaps when making binding from fabric and you automatically think that you have to fold your binding in half and start sewing and the washi tape hint is very helpful thankyou!

Thank you ladies! Carrie, you're a natural teacher and seem so at ease in front of the camera! Nice to see you in another spot in addition to the Moda blog! :) Super detailed and wonderful tutorial...i just love the wide binding. May I ask why you don't pre-iron the second fold for when you attach the binding to the back of the quilt? Seems like it would be a little less cumbersome.

Wow I love the wider binding also! So when you say you use the seam for your border outline when you trim the rough edges, meaning you line up the binding on top of your work as you have here and cut off the extra selvage for a clean border? And assuming you run that great zigzag stitch along seam to keep your material (quilt batting) from bunching up, so maybe that is what you use for trimming excess border selvage? Sorry I have pieced a quilt by hand (from when my Grandmother taught me before she died) but I am anxious to complete a quilt from start to finish. Love your clear cut direction! (And I do have that same cutting board and rotary cutter, and love all that elbow room you have with that bright light : makes a big difference !!!) Thank You Kimberly and Carrie!!! Mary from TN 💗🌻💗

Lovely! I like the wide binding but is there any reason I couldn't do this with a straight grain cut binding? I admit I hate cutting bias binding strips..

@FatQuarterShopTX 7 жыл бұрын

It's also a case of it lays a bit flatter. But it also wears better. With the single layer of fabric, it will be less rounded on the edge, a harder fold. But for something that won't get washed a lot, and where someone wants to use a stripe for a specific effect, is absolutely do a straight cut.

@mgs783 5 жыл бұрын

Why would a bias cut wear better than straight of grain if both are being cut wide and single fold? I would also think double fold would wear better than single fold be it cut on bias or straight of grain. What is the rationale for single fold?

@lifeisgoodinthesouth210 5 жыл бұрын

You chose a 7/8 inch finished binidng - why or how do you choose the seam allowance - should it be the same as the finished binding or 1/4 less

@coolcapri2 6 жыл бұрын

When doing this binding is the seam allowance always 3/4 inch or does it depend on the width? If so how do you figure that out if you do a different width?

I was a self taught quilter and had no idea what folded double binding was until I retired and started watching tons of quilting tutorials. I always did the single fold and would also fold and tack a layer of the batting over for baby quilts to make the edge softer. The other difference is I use a ladder stitch for the hand sewing as I don't like that only a few threads are holding it down. . I like this method so much better. If I am using bias binding I recomend a row of stiching just inside the final stitch line before the binding is added so the edge gets more sepport. I have restored several old quilts and the edges get tugged on alot and the stretching is hard on the piece work. Thank you for letting me know I wasn't doing anything wrong! Is this acceptable for quilt competitions?

@FatQuarterShopTX 9 ай бұрын

Hello Bobbi! When entering a quilt in a competition , all judges have their own way of how they like binding. The best bet is to read the rules of the show you are entering. There is not right or wrong way to do anything in quilting. No Quilt Police!
