Showing from start to finish how I am doing the new technique that was referred to as Competition Binding when it was taught to me. Email: QuiltSquirrel1@gmail.com
Interesting video. It’s always great to see alternative ways to do things. Thank you so much for sharing. I had never seen this technique before. Very much appreciated.
I like this method and will try it on my quilt this weekend as it is going in to a show in September. I really like the fact the miters are sewn up so neatly. Thanks
That technique is so interesting, I'm going try it sometime soon! Unless my quilt is really special, I attach to the back and machine sew the to front, but it seems like this could work for that? Another reason to connect binding strips diagonally is to distribute the seam bulk along the diagonal instead of in one lump, but stripes can be tricky if you want them to line up. Striped bindings are my favorite! Your quilt is beautiful, and finished, yay! 😊
Thank you! You absolutely could use the technique by sewing your binding strips to the back first. Make a small practice quilt and give it a try first before you do your special quilt. I agree, it does distribute the bulk when done diagonally.
Well, I can't say that I totally understand this. My quilts will never be show bound (no pun intended). I think I need to stand right behind you to get this method of binding the corners. I'll have continue to blind stitch my corners closed. I'd like to give it a try on an exggerated large mockup corner. (wish you could demonstrate it that way!) 😄Thank you for showing how you do this.
