Learn how to attach quilt binding using the Triple Zigzag stitch with Janome Maker Adam Rateliff!
Adam says, If you are like me, you hate binding your quilts. I'm not sure why I dislike it so much but there is something about the process that really puts me off. I LOVE every step of the quilting process until we get to the binding part. Well, that all changed when I received my Janome Continental M7. I was taught this binding trick using what I call a triple zigzag stitch and I have not looked back. Do I love binding now, no way! But, I do enjoy the process more and have finished 7 quilts with it so far. For this process, I am going to be using the HP plate and foot to install the binding on the back side of the quilt. Once the binding is in place we can fold it over to the front, change out the foot and plate, switch to stitch 11 (triple stitch zigzag) and sew the binding down on the front. I try to line up the edge of my binding fold with the stitch line from stitching my binding on so it looks perfect on the front and back. It's so fast and with the power of the machine, the quilt gets pulled through so easily. I hope you try this technique and don't forget to subscribe to Janome KZfaq Channel and follow Janome Sewing Machines on Facebook and JanomeAmerica on Instagram.
Thanks for watching and see you next time,
Adam

You are the best teacher on binding. I have watched many and this works for me without the stress of not knowing how it will finish up. I have macular degeneration in my right eye. The progression of it was stopped for a few years but now at 80 years old my sight in unraveling again. I understand the process, as you know it affects my sewing and my confidence. Your whole explanation answered everything I have worried about. I know longer feel as if binding is a guessing game. I have a PFAFF I splurged on when I had the money once and it has been good to me. One more thing. With my scraps I make small quilts for shelters small animals come in all sizes. I pack them up and send them to different places. Lost animals don’t care if patterns don’t match, sometimes I’ll send some tiny enough to hold one kitten because you never know who needs something in a shelter. Oh and by the way my oldest son was named Adam.

This is the process I have been using for the last 14 years. I have only done hand stitching on a quilt binding once. That was enough. I often use tiny hearts - one of the available stitches on my machine - and that looks very pretty. The star stitch works well, too.

@apboyce 6 ай бұрын

I hear you! I hand stitched a few bindings and my left hand (holding) would go numb after a bit of time so it was very frustrating. Then when I realized you could use the machine for all the steps - what an epiphany! At first it felt like “cheating” but I remember sitting on the machine using one of the decorative stitches for it and thought, “would my ancestors making quilts actually reject a technique that would make the process less difficult?” And then I actually started getting quilts done and off to people to use! Makes me feel good to finish the whole process start to finish and let someone enjoy the quilts!

I didn’t realize about the bulk in the corner when you flip the binding to the front. I’ve always made them go the same way. I’ll try this tip. When you are joining the ends of the binding I always cut mine just an eight of an inch less than the width of the binding to help it lay smooth without any bulk or excess fabric as the bind has a tendency to stretch a little when the final seam is made. Great tips here. Thanks

I used the Triple Zigzag stitch for the first time this summer, to control hems on a fleece wearable blanket that I was making for a grandchild. I loved the results, but it never occurred to me to use the stitch to topstitch my bindings. I have been machine-stitching my bindings for a couple of years, now, but with a straight stitch. This is so much more decorative and interesting, as well as sturdier! I watch a lot of quilting videos, Adam, but your teaching style and voice resonates with me. Also, every time I bind a quilt, I have to look up instructions for that pesky ending miter of the binding strip. I think that your demo has been accepted by my brain! Please keep sharing!

I love decorative stitches. Ever since I first had a machine, I've used my zillion deco stitches everywhere on everything. So, of course, I used then when I started making quilts. Not only do zigzags look great, but lots of other decos can be used. They are great for binding quickly and making sure the proper area is covered on both sides. I often match a stitch to the theme of my quilt. As long as it's not a complex multi-directional stitch, it works fine. You can also do the binding stitch w a different color or w metallic thread since they are meant to be decorative. Have fun!

@fightsewbig9003 3 ай бұрын

Triple Zig Zag works great when you need the extra strength or coverage of a zig zag but also need lots of stretch. I use it on my 4 way stretch fabrics. I never thought of trying it on quilt binding. I’m going to try it.

Thanks for another way to finish the binding. I always machine stitch my binding on, never hand-stitch. I sew to the front first and pull to the back. Then stitch in the ditch on the front side. One other tip I just learned is to use steam-a-seam to hold down your binding before stitching it down.

The multiple zig zag is a wonderful stitch. It is really cute for a baby quilt. I will have to try it on my next child's quilt. A regular zig zag tunnels the fabric drawing it up and isn't near as cute. For over twenty years I have been using a tiny tiny zig zag on the very edge of the binding on all my quilts except competition quilts. The zig and the zag make it less noticeable to the eye and the edge does not flip over. I watch a point on my foot for guiding my edge of my binding. Machine feet guides are so useful. They just make things so much easier. You can imagine trying to watch the needle to guide. Oh my, I am fuzzy eyed just thinking of it. I don't know if I can make this clear for perfect folded corners but I will try. You folded over the binding on the side you were going to sew. Take your finger nail and bend the binding over the edge of the top of the quilt. When you fold the top edge of the binding down, you will have a perfect mitered binding. If I have my fold made and it is not perfect, I use a pin adjusting the amount of the binding on the side you are sewing over the adjacent edge of the quilt. I get perfect miters every time with no effort. Love the multiple zigzag. Thank you for the suggestion. I can see it in a contrasting color making a quilt even more fun for a child.. May you enjoy your quilting journey as much as I have enjoyed mine. I am grateful for all the quilters who have shown me tiny little things that bring joy as I quilt.

@marshadickson6238 7 ай бұрын

Sometimes my corners are a bit rounded though I’m doing it the way you demonstrated any suggestions?

@debcavan 7 ай бұрын

When you turn the corner when applying your binding, make sure your top fold is right on the edge of your quilt, not over and not under. Check of the right side that your binding is lining up exactly with your quilt. Then check the left side. Are the layers lining up. Most of the time the curve is caused by the first, that the fold of the binding is not lined up perfectly on the fold. I hope this helps. Deb@@marshadickson6238

When the binding is completely sewn onto the back, I press it up so that it doesn't fight me when I turn it to the front. An extra step, but it really helps. Clover makes a bamboo stiletto that does not poke through the fabric and holds better than the metal.

I come from a family of Hand Binders…..😢to them it is totally unacceptable to machine bind. I DON’T CARE…they are my quilts and I’ll machine bind if I so choose!

Just watched this. Thank you for your cheerful manner and clear instructions. I’ve been thinking about trying machine binding for some time but haven’t got around to trying it so far. I actually like binding, I’d be happy to bind other people’s quilts, but I do it the “traditional “way, ie hand sew the back. I find it quite relaxing and gives me a chance to enjoy my quilt close up while I sew. A cuppa and a good movie also help 😊. HOWEVER… I can see that machine binding is a skill well worth learning, and that it is definitely more durable, especially when machine washing quilts( although my hand sewn binding seems to stand up to machine washing quite well - never had a problem).So I will give it a go on a smaller quilt I’m working on and see how it goes. And I will be watching your video again( and probably again), weird sound and all(I could still hear ok, not really a problem). Thanks again, Adam.

I have bought a horn lift mechanism so that my machine can be pushed down level with the table. However we are not sure how many inches in from the edge, the hole in the table should be cut for the machine to sit in. Are you able to measure how much table there is before the machine. Yours looks to be about 4 inches in from the front, on the video, but I would love it if you could measure your table and let me know. Thanks so much. Carolynne from the North West of England.

Great video ! Just sharing ideas… You can do a straight stitch on front using a “stitch on a ditch” foot. I align the margin of the binding against the wall (in the middle) of the foot, move the needle to the right how much you want, 1/8 of a inch, and stitch. You will be surprised how easy is and straight line close to the margin of the binding you can achieve. Happy quilting 🙏

I bind this way too. I use different decorative stitches. Looks great and gets DONE!

Love your video tutorials. FYI: I cut a separate strip of diagonal seam tape for the plastic bobbin cover; I never have to remove and readjust the tape when I change plates.😊

I agree! I hate binding but love quilting. Love my Janome machines! I hv 9850mc and a smaller electronic Janome for travel.

Love the tips and your enthusiasm, I have a quilt that needs to be sent away, and I've put it off, but I'm ready to go now!

Thank you for the suggestion. I am also notorious for providing my dogs with quilts when trying out new patterns or techniques.

This is great! Very helpful! I’ve done something like this before, but I’ve forgotten a few things since the last time I finished a quilt, and I learned some great new-to-me things in this video. Thank you!
