Some people do true bias binding for their quilts because supposedly it handles wear over long periods of time better since there are two crossed threads covering the edge at each layer rather than binding cut on the straight of grain, which if it frays will split lengthwise up the edge. I personally don’t worry with that and am content to replace the binding if it becomes needed 😂
@fromcarlybКүн бұрын
This is so informative! Thank you. I feel I would be content to replace it too haha!! Mending is weirdly satisfying.
@paulaneary7877Күн бұрын
Darling Carly! I do not cut my binding on the bias because I am not a rule follower, and I think it is not that necessary. The reason the binding is connected on an angle has to do with bulky seams, it cuts down on bumpiness and helps the quilt lay flatter and hang better. Here again, I am not a rule follower and don't always do things the supposed "correct" way. I love that you are not concerned with perfectly straight edges, a lot of that strictness takes the fun out of the activity for me so I tend to IGNORE lots of rules. Have fun, number one priority when quilting for me. 💖

I love your quilt! Hand stitching is my favorite. I have ADHD and the repetitive motion is really soothing when I get into the flow of it. Perhaps it’s different outside the US but I would think of patchwork as having a traditional or repeating design and what you did as improv piecing. You might enjoy videos about improv piecing and hand piecing. I have made a lot of quilts but always get confused when making the last join in the binding and just do a straight join at the end. 😂

That was fun to watch! Straight-on-the-grain binding has only ONE thread along the whole edge of each side of the quilt. That is fine for wall hangings or items that won’t be handled or washed often. Bias binding has what, 50, 100, threads every INCH along the edge, so will endure years of love, handling and washing before the edges start to fray.

The reason for sewing the binding on the diagonal is so that you don't have to sew with "thick" seams, the diagonal allows you to spread out the bulk. As your quilting journey continues, please always save the very first quilt you are making, it will definitely mean more to you as the years pass. Its a great quilt for your first attempt.

Most quilters make their binding strips 2 1/2 inches wide,some 2 1/4 wide. This is the reason you were told to measure 2 1/2 inches longer than the end of the binding strip you were joining to. If your binding strip was 3 inches wide and you allowed 3 inches ,then it would have fit perfectly. You are so ambitious to hand quilt your first quilt! Kudos to you! I machine quilt my sandwich layers with my walking foot on my machine, so much easier for me.

You’re wild!! 4 days?? My teacher in school said that bias binding can be a stronger choice for binding a quilt because if a thread unravels it’s not parallel to the stitch holding it together. But bias can get annoying and stretch and torque as you go too. The only time I used poly batting for a quilt I ended up with a quilt that doesn’t hold in body heat which SUCKS unless it’s really hot then it’s the best. Cotton for the win. Also washing your quilt can help it become puffy in pretty ways but be careful cuz fabrics can bleed. Done that before!

Awesome. Loved your use of solely scraps. Outside of other comments sew the binding down on top and finish on the vack for more seamless look as well as smoothness. For bunching and knots well ingorance is bliss in the beginning and the more you do the more you learn... knots are better inside unless hidden by color of where knotting and bunching happens when layers are not tight enough ( i still have striggles w that...aybe a quick hand uaste will help- my current try to help). Keep learning. For washing dont put a hand quilted blanket through the dryer.... it will break down the thread for quilting as well as piecing. Try and air dry to keep the quality and have it as long as possible.
