How to Bind a Quilt completely by Machine



The videos step you through preparing the binding, sewing it to the back side of the quilt, mitering the corners, wrapping the binding to the front and then using various stitches to sew it to the quilt top.  You will learn how to keep the edge of the binding properly aligned so the stitching is on the binding on the front and the back of the quilt. 

There are four videos.  Watch them in order, starting with Part 1 and ending with Part 4.

Part 1 - Click Here - Preparing the binding
Part 2 - Click Here - Sewing binding to back of quilt
Part 3 - Click Here - Wrapping and pinning binding
Part 4 - Click Here - Sewing binding to quilt top with straight and decorative stitches

The binding is cut 2 1/2 inches wide but do a practice piece, using your batting and fabric, to decide if 2 1/2" is right for your project.  If the 'wrap around' is not snug enough to the quilt, try cutting the binding 2 3/8 inches or 2 1/4 inches.

The videos were made by Charlotte Sewing Center Educator, Susan Nelson.  They are minimally edited and not professionally made, but I hope they are helpful.  If you have questions or comments about the content of the videos, you can email me (Susan) at debonair2@bellsouth.net
