Stitch it! Sisters Absolute Easiest Way to Sew Quilt Binding Sewing Tutorial

Create Binding

• Using a Rotary Cutter, Ruler and, mat, cut four 2-1/4″ x 22″ Burgundy Cotton Shades fabric strips and three 2-1/4″ x 22″ Grape Cotton Shades.

• With right sides together, place one Burgundy fabric strip to one Grape fabric strip, offsetting strips 1/2″.
• Stitch short ends of strips, using a diagonal seam, connecting angle intersections.
• Trim seam allowances to 1/4′.

• Stitch remaining fabric strips together, alternating Burgundy and Grape Cotton Shades – as shown – to create binding.

• Using a Rotary Cutter, Ruler and mat, cut strip in half at a 45-degree angle.

• Using Clover’s Hot Ruler, press under 1/4″ along 45-degree short end.

• Cut a length of Clover’s 1/4″ Fusible Web Tape.
• Following manufactures instructions fuse web tape to right side of pressed binding edge.

• Place fabric strip wrong sides together, meeting long edges. Press.

Attach Binding

• Meet binding cut edge to quilt edge, right sides together, near center of one edge. Pin.

• Stitch binding to quilt, beginning stitching at about 4″ from binding end. Backstitch.
• Stitch using scant 1/4″ seam.

• Continue to stitching to marked dot. Backstitch. Cut threads. Rotate quilt.

• Using Clover’s Straight Tailor’s Awl Stiletto, fold binding forward over awl, meeting binding cut edge to quilt cut edge.
• Stitch seam and backstitch at corner.

• Continue stitching, removing pins as you sew.

• Repeat steps above on all four corners.
• After stitching the final corner, stop stitching about 4″ away from angle-folded end of beginning binding. Backstitch.

• Remove paper backing from Clover’s 1/4″ Fusible Web Tape, insert ending binding into beginning of binding.

• Fold under end of binding, press.

• Using scissors cut away excess binding end.
• Re-fold binding right sides together. Press.

• Stitch binding to quilt edge. Backstitch.

• Press binding away from quilt center.

• Fold or “wrap” binding to wrong side, fussy folding corner folds to desired angles.
