How I bind a Quilt and Hand Stitch it Down

Pin It

I'm sharing the way "I" do quilt binding. Like everything in quilting there are MANY ways. This is the way "I" do it ! ! 

Cut your strip 2 ½” inches wide and long enough to go 

all the around your quilt PLUS 6-8 Inches

More is ALWAYS better with this

The Quilt Ladies NOW on Kindle and NOOK 

How to make Quilt Binding Tutorial and How to Hand Stitch the Bind

 Cut enough strips to go around the outside edge of your quilt.
Sew all strips together with a 45-degree angle.
How to make Quilt Binding Tutorial and How to Hand Stitch the Bind
 Sew and Trim to ¼ inch seam allowance
Open and Press and trim any ends. 
Do this to make all binding needed.

BUT ALWAYS check YOUR BOBBIN THREAD, make sure you have enough to make it all the way around the quilt. NOTHING worse than to stop and fill or change a bobbin! 


This is where "I" do it a bit different, I just can't get the seam right using the fold the corner way, I do a straight seam here as shown

Start sewing about 5-6 inches from your binding end, 
Sew the binding with a ¼ inch seam allowance. 


 I mark with a pin on each corner
How to make Quilt Binding Tutorial and How to Hand Stitch the Bind

Sew the binding with a ¼ inch seam allowance. Stop ¼ from the edge. Back stitch a few stitches.

Fold the binding back.
Fold binding back down on to the Quilt. Match up edges.
A diagonal fold will form between the layers and a straight fold on top. Do corners one at a time, but

Do this on all four corners


Stop sewing about 4-5 inches from the first end.

Pin well, fold over and match the ends

Press

On both sides

The right side of the quilt

You will need to trim your batting, I like to trim mine about an 1/8 of an inch from the binding
edge

Fold the binding open

Pin and I like to hand stitch

How to make Quilt Binding Tutorial and How to Hand Stitch the Bind

Blind Stitch, I like to hide my knot in the inside.
Single thread, I use about 18 inches at a time. 
Catch just a bit of fabric on the binding, 

How to make Quilt Binding Tutorial and How to Hand Stitch the Bind

Take a stitch straight across and then back into the binding just a few threads.

Make sure your thread matches and as below, I have about 6-8 stitches down in this photo
