The Quilt Binding Bible

Description

Binding, “YES, finally!” or “Oh no!” Which is your reaction?

With the vast amount of techniques, troubleshooting, and tips, you will be confident in finishing your quilt! This handy, spiral bound reference, begins with a vast amount of basic details such as which grain to use (including what is grain), cutting strips guaranteed to be straight, joining strips at any angle (who knew 90 degree angle didn’t matter?), and basic machine and hand stitches to use. If you are new to quilting, start with simple finishes that use the backing, double fold, single fold, wide, and narrow (1/8” and 1/16” for your miniature quilts) bindings.

For a little more challenge, try a new look with artist’s, curved, pieced at the corner, matching seams, facing, mitered corners for angles other than square, mitered corners for inside angles, and scallops. Play with adding a new element like a flange, piping, lace or tatting. Take a step back from this and incorporate a faux flange – this may become your all-time favorite!

And bring a whole new dimension with prairie points, ruffles, and petals. Try the Quilter’s Pocketbook for basic binding, the pot holder for thick batting and curves, the place mats for wide binding, and the table runner for other angles. With this many choices, there is “bound” to be the perfect one for your project!
