Thank you!

Thank you for this tutorial. Sew Becca sent me to your website. At my quilt guild we do assembly line type quilt making. I usually put quilt tops together and then do binding once it has been quilted. Some folks binding looks wonderful. Then there's mine. I practice and practice. Some look really good. Sewing it on is no problem. It's the finish side whether sewn to front or back. I used the edge foot when sewing front to back but not back to front. I pin and measure. But honestly sometimes it is on the 0.5 inch guide line and others it creeps to more than that. I then cover it up with decorative stitches, but the back can look off. Sometimes it's on the binding sometimes on the quilt. 😓😖😕. I don't use glue because I don't know when the finished quilt will be washed once I turn it back in to the guild. This is my first time on your website. Sorry about venting. I love the quilt behind you. I think I'll go do some yardwork. Take care. Marion in Oregon.

Thank you so much!

Thank you Ian. I have never tried glue. I have always bonded from back to front. But I'm going to try this. I'm king if I do back to front could prob still use the 10D foot just move the needle over slightly !!!

Awesome! I can’t wait to see you blue ribbon!

Too funny Ian, I do the same thing of serging the edge of my quilt too before binding. Makes putting the binding on soooo much easier

Yes! I love doing it! Really helps a lot.

I just stitch all around 1/4" with a straight stitch. I like my binding to feel full, not flattened out with zigzag. I won't be buying a serger. Who has room for all those spools of thread ?? 😆 Wonder clips quilter here!! Also a Big stitcher with crochet thread. Happy quilting!

Hey, everyone has a different technique and that’s OK.

I’ve never tried this. I’m going to give it a try.

Nice job! I've always glue basted my binding but usually back to front. I have not tried serging the edges. Will need to try both now. Thanks for the video!

Nice job! I'm with you...hand binding just isn't my thing. I've had my Mom's serger for about a year and you've just inspired me to get it checked out and use it!

That is awesome! Hope it works well for you.

Thanks Ian! I have never used my Serger or glue to bind a quilt but I can see the value of doing so. I will be trying both of these methods with the quilt I am working on now.

I have a Side Cutter foot for my Singer. It gives the same edge as a serger.

I thought so too when I first learned about this technique.

I’m new and have been reading/watching how to bind like this. My question is, when you turned the quilt over after ditching, there was still loose fabric after the seam. Do you trim that? I thought there would be no loose fabric left along the bound edges? Does that make sense? (9:48 into the video)

@OffKilterCrafterIan

My quilts always have a little lose fabric. A lot of times I will try and move my needle over to the left by one position to try and help minimize the amount of loose fabric on the backside. You can always adjust how much fabric is free by adjusting where the edge is when you are glue basting. You would not trim off the excess fabric as that would leave raw edge, which could come unraveled.

What width do you cut your binding.TY
