Quilt Binding
Your quilt top is stitched together and quilted with the batting and backing; it's time for the finishing step - the binding!
Actually, the binding is one of my favorite steps in quiltmaking for several reasons! Number one: it is always fun to experiment with different widths and fabric choices for the binding. Number two: I love handwork, so stitching the binding down by hand is a joy to me. Number 3: If I'm stitching the binding, it means my quilt or project is almost complete! :)
How can you create a simple, quick and easy quilt binding? Take a peek at the method I use to finish my quilt edges! You can achieve a professional binding by following these steps for cutting & stitching fabric strips, attaching the binding to the quilt, mitering the corners and finishing it by hand!

Thatnks for the tutorial. Binding is the worst part for me because I am NEVER satisfied with my efforts. 99.99% of the time, I pay my LA quilter to attach it. (I do finish the hand part.)
