Wow! I've been quilting since 1976, bicentennial. I just sort of winged it, there were no classes there were no quilt shops! And the part I have always hated was binding. My first quilt I tried doing the binding my stitching in the ditch from the front and it was awful. Your method is terrific and I'm going to try it I have two quilts waiting to be bound and you may have just changed my attitude completely. Thank you!

I love the idea of using glue to tack down the back… I just finished a lap quilt for my niece, and I wish I’d seen this beforehand - I have areas that are 1/8” and areas that are 1/16”, so it’s rather uneven looking on the back. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Meh. Live and learn! And glad I know this for the future!

@deborahmeares1048 2 жыл бұрын

I love your method with the glue on the binding and never thought of that one thing that I do is I take an iron The Binding over from the front first so that there is a good crease that encourages The Binding to roll over to the back more easily.

I usually sew onto the back first then flip over the front, going to have to try this method on a small project to make sure I can do it right 🤣

@danielploszkiewicz1058 2 жыл бұрын

This is my preferred method of binding as well. Though it never occurred to me to iron the binding after folding it over. I like the idea of using glue as well. I’m going to make a mini with one of the blocks in Christmas Morning!

Stitching in the ditch is bit problematic still, ugh! The glue is a great idea…did you a special style of presser foot?

This is my preferred method as well. I use 2.25” binding strips and 1/4” seam. (I’ve never found the need for the glue step - I do press the seam open after attaching the binding to the front. I can usually wrap the binding back and sew with no clips).

I bind the same way, but I don’t use glue, I use wonder clips. I thought she might no like/use clips, but then she used them for the label, so now I wonder why glue, how using it is better than using clips. I will try with the glue next time. Did anyone see if the iron was using steam?

@danielploszkiewicz1058 2 жыл бұрын

Maybe the glue makes it easier to keep the binding straight? The glue method might make it easier when doing larger quilts. Would ease up some of the weight from all those wonder clips. Just my thoughts! ☺️

Hello Ceci! The glue application is faster than taking on and off Wonder Clips. She is often making multiple quilts in time crunches for shows, so anywhere she can save even seconds helps!

Helpful tutorial; however, using only the overhead camera during the sewing wasn't the best choice. It would have been more helpful to actually see the process from a needle's view.
