Machine binding a quilt is a quicker technique that will add joy to your quilting process. This simple process is great for beginners who are looking for a way to attach binding to a quilt, as well as quilters looking for a way to bind their quilt in half the time. With a few pins and a little bit of patience, you will have a perfectly bound quilt.
BINDING FORMULA FOR MEASURING BINDING STRIPS (0:48)
Measure the perimeter of your quilt and add 15”, then divide by 40” and round up.
For this quilt: Perimeter is 80” + 15” = 95” ÷ 40” = 2.375  3 Binding Strips

This is a good tutorial. I only wish they had showed what the finished binding looked like on the back side!

@ninad5692 3 года назад

I know this is 6 years old but for any other new quilters who see this...for me this tutorial was a game changer! Not having to mess about with doing a diagonal seam on my binding took away all the frustration and just left the enjoyment of binding. I actually really like this part of quilting but the whole fitting together and sewing a diagonal seam was stressful. Maybe it's not a purist's way of doing binding but it's good enough for my purposes and I'm back to loving the binding part. I always hand sew the back because I like to stitch but using the machine on the front with this new (old) method makes it quite quick and easy. Thank you FQS!

@johannebrunner6477 Год назад

It’s not a big deal having a straight seam. Why people make such a fuss is ridiculous.

@lw7967 7 лет назад

After sewing on the binding from the front, I turn it over to the back and use Elmer's washable school glue to hold it. Dab a bit of glue to the quilt back, fold the binding over it, press into place which dries the glue. No pins required! Sew binding on from the front because if you glued it correctly into place, you will catch the binding in the back. Glue washes out in the first wash! easy peasy! Looks so nice!

@beckyfox73 4 года назад

This is a great method! As a new quilter this makes me feel more confident that I can do this now rather than turning my quilt inside out and hand tying :) Thank you so much!

@Kayellen Год назад

It’s July 3,2023…I just finished my July 4th quilt that I started a year ago. Just in time. It’s in the wash! 🎆 I spent an hour looking for an easy binding tutorial. I’m glad I found this one! Thank you, Kimberly😊 Happy 4th of July from Las Vegas🎉 🇺🇸

@annaturner2828 Год назад

Best binding video yet. Thank you you Kimberly and Fat quarter shop!💃💃

@kimethaturner152 9 лет назад

This method is FABULOUS! I will be doing this from now on. it looks so neat and even. I love it.

@kellyt.4842 Год назад

I have been machine binding for years, but I've never liked the way the binding looked on the back side. Sometimes the stitches ended up on the binding, but most of the time they didn't and it always looked sloppy. But after discovering this tutorial, I have to say this is the best method I have ever tried. And the back looks absolutely perfect. I wish I had discovered it sooner! Thank you!!

@elisayager634 6 лет назад

I checked a few tutorials before I found yours and yours was the one that made sense to me. Your tutorial helped me finish a beautiful project for my future daughter in law. The mitred corners rock! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

@FatQuarterShopTX 6 лет назад

SO glad to hear that! Binding was a bear to conquer for us too, so we wanted to put out great, clear videos on all the different ways you can do it!

@KP-mb9jx 10 лет назад

Hi Kimberly, Your work is always so neat and precise, plus you always explain it so well. Thank you, Karen

@mabelbrooks2456 10 лет назад

Thank You! I struggle with machine binding and miter corners all the time but I think I finally learned how to do it.

@margaretolson8875 9 лет назад

Nice tutorial - thanks! I used Clover Wonder Clips (the red ones) rather than pins. They worked really well - flat side towards the back, clipped right at the folded edge of the binding.

@cree1958 2 года назад

I just did this binding and it was so well explained. I’m a beginner also. Thank you so much

@tracybrewer5844 9 лет назад

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I did my binding this way and wow I was amazed at how beautiful it came out. It was the best binding id ever done. And my mitred corners just perfect. Can't thank you enough for showing us this video. Love your tutorials

@kimethaturner152 9 лет назад

I totally agree Tracy. This was an awesome tutelage and I was blown away by the results and how quickly it moved along.

@annebensing8028 10 месяцев назад

@anniesue4456 Год назад

YES FINALLY I KNEW THERE WAS AN EASIER WAY!

@gilmore25967 6 лет назад

I just did this technique and it cam out good only thing I did different is once I flipped the binding over and started stitching next to it I used a stitch in the ditch foot and just guided it right a long next to the binding and it came out good.

@crawpl31 Год назад

Great tutorial - very clearly laid out and the results are nice. My only gripe is the number of pins on the back are deadly and hard to remove when at the machine. Not sure if there’s a fix for that but my lap hurts! 😅

@kimsiehl9058 3 года назад

Great binding tutorial!

@hrhdmk5845 8 лет назад

Great tutorial, thanks Kimberley. Perhaps those little Clover clips might be better than pins, so you don't have to sew over any pins and perhaps break a sewing machine needle? Just a suggestion. Love the Fat Quarter Shop!

Thank you for the tutorial! I am wondering about taking off the pins since they're underneath. I'm a beginner in quilting and sewing. Could I suggest that you show us how you do it in the future? I'm a visual person and it helps me when I see itThanks again for the tutorial! 😎

@FatQuarterShopTX 7 лет назад

Once you finish each side, you can flip over the quilt to easily slide out your pins. We recommend you do this as you go, otherwise you will have a lot of sharp pins poking you. Thanks for your question.

If only Simplicity still made the bias tape maker! 😢 I don't understand why some other company hasn't taken up the challenge and made something similar. The prices the 'old' Simplicity machine is bringing secondhand on eBay are crazy but, then again, it signifies just how much people like the machine.

@katpui99 5 лет назад

@UrbanQuilter 10 лет назад

Fabulous tutorial :)

@spongebobtanu 8 лет назад

Can you attach the binding to the back side and then fold over to the front of the quilt? That way it's just top stitching to the front?

@gilmore25967 6 лет назад

spongebobtanu Yea you can do it however you like I just did a mini quilt and did it that way by accident but I liked it in the end

@sandan2358 3 года назад

That’s how I do it.

@festuswilliams9428 2 года назад

Hi Myriam.

@jennifermullersman1506 10 лет назад

This was really great! How do you trim your quilt so that there is 3/8 inch of batting left out? Thanks for sharing!

@FatQuarterShopTX 10 лет назад

Hi Jennifer - simply line up your ruler with the edge of your quilt top, measure 3/8" and trim. This will leave you with the perfect amount of batting to fully stuff your binding. Thanks for the question, glad you enjoyed this tutorial!

@mariab8668 7 лет назад

Fat Quarter Shop would you please do a tutorial on the technique to leave 3/8 batting exposed beyond the quilt top? Thank you!

@Julietaescasan 8 лет назад

@babszollak2512 8 месяцев назад

I like this technique, and it was helpful to watch. But it appears she is sewing over pins (on the back side too boot). It would be nice to see how she might do it today with a refresher video.

@julialusk3888 4 года назад

I love the hot air ballon spatters on your quilt. Can you tell how this was done. Thank you

@marietteforget7804 7 лет назад

Do you sew and keep,the needle in? See how a beginner I am! Thanks a lot for your pieces of advice! 😎

@FatQuarterShopTX 7 лет назад

Yes with this binding technique we actually keep the pins in place and sew right over them. Some people however don't like to do that for fear their machine needle will break but with this method, it's the only way.

@myhappybluebird2 10 лет назад

Do you remove your pins as you sew, or, do you remove them when you are all done sewing? If you don't remove them until the end, do you sew over them, or do you ease over them manually? Thanks so much for sharing another great tutorial and for your help. Linda

@kimberlyjolly9328 10 лет назад

Hi Linda, Yes I remove pins about one to two stitches before I sew over them. I personally never sew over pins. If you do sew over the pins on this your stitches where your pin was will be longer and not look as good as your other stitches.

@lindabluebird3624 10 лет назад

Kimberly Jolly Thanks so much for letting me know! I don't sew over pins either. Love your tutorials :-)

@andysaquatics 9 лет назад

FYI, the quilt labels link is broken. Great video! Thanks.

@maviskwoodathome 9 лет назад

I liked this until it came time to close up the binding ends. You can make that seam look just like all the other joinings of the seams in your binding. Make a triangle in the start of the open strip by folding down the end so that it lays along the edge of the quilt. Fold in half again. All raw edges are at the edge of the quilt. Start sewing about 6-8 inches from this triangle. When you get to the end, stop sewing 12-16 inches from where you started sewing. Lay the end on the quilt just where you will want it to be and cut off that tail at the bottom of the triangle: the binding will be overlapping that far. Then sew these seams the same way you sewed your other binding strip seams. Open seam allowance and fold in half again. You won't be able to find your start-stop place on your binding.

@janetteaguirre-terry2986 5 лет назад

Was that difficult to sew it from the front while the pins were pinned in the back? Do you just sew over the pins? TFS

@fatemataher9052 5 лет назад

Thank you so much for this tutorial. Your instructions are so clear! A quick question- what weight thread did you use for the quilting on this quilt. It looks really nice, almost like it's saddle stitched!

@elainemcatee4347 2 года назад

When machine sewing a binding you should aleays sew the binding onto the back of the quilt first.

@FatQuarterShopTX 2 года назад

Hello Elaine! Thank you for your suggestion.

@susanhaack8925 Год назад

Maybe I missed something....pin on the back from from inside towards outside of quilt?? Seems it will be cumbersome, when stitching on the front, to reach under your work to pull pins out as you progress around!?!!

@abigailbullard3933 8 лет назад

I don't understand the first part where you said you trimmed 3/8th inch from the quilt top. How did you do that if all three layers were already quilted together?

@gilmore25967 6 лет назад

Abigail Bullard if you only want to trim the quilt top or bottom you will just fold the bottom underneath as far as you can out of the way and then trim what you want without cutting the rest.

@ruthsaenz10 4 года назад

Did you sew through the pins? Let's see the back too!

@susanwalshmercer7462 6 лет назад

I want to see the other side. How would a decorative stitch look?

@tobythompson55 5 лет назад

Can you explain the dimensions for cutting the notches at the corners of the batting before applying the batting? I’ve never seen that done before.

@peggydunlap6651 4 года назад

Love this tutorial. One question - what width is the batting you had beyond the fabric?

@FatQuarterShopTX 4 года назад

Hello Peggy! It's trimmed 3/8" outside the quilt top.

@JuneDodge 7 лет назад

What does it look like on the back? Can you show how you are removing the pins? Have you tried using wonder pins instead of straight pins?

@festuswilliams9428 2 года назад

Hi June.

@laurahyde5566 6 лет назад

It would have been nice if you had shown the back. I would like to see whether or not you hit the binding on the back side.

@KayInMaine 5 лет назад

As long as you've pulled the binding an 1/8th of an inch over the stitch line (the stitch line from sewing the binding to the front side), it should catch the fabric on the back, because on top when stitching, you are stitching either in the ditch or slightly to the left of the stitch line.

@kathleenclark9349 9 лет назад

I have used this binding technique on a small wall quilt and it is so easy and neat in appearance. What is the name of the quilt on the wall behind you in the video?

do you have them in other colors besides black? I only see black on your web page

@kellysherrard1361 6 лет назад

where do you buy the 'quilter's cut and press" mats? i've never seen them in stores

@tobythompson55 5 лет назад

I’m kind of surprised that using a 2.5” binding strip (folded to 1.25”) will cover the sewing the binding on with a 1/4” seam allowance plus an additional 3/8” batting extending away from the edge...I’ll have to try it. Maybe you use very thin batting???

@LottieSue 6 лет назад

The concusses is unambitious. Could you do this video over and how us the back. What we are looking for is a neat invisible stitched binding that dosen't show on the front from stitching on the back.

G'day, the silver curved snappy hair clips, yeah they are sold as quilt binding clips, to put price up of course, but they are HAIR clips, so buy them in the hair sections of the shops. Sorry but it annoys me that they do this. But anyway, way easier to hold your binding together......And also many use decorative stitches as well :)

@FatQuarterShopTX 9 лет назад

Thanks for your suggestion Kaa.

@jeanhunter4310 5 лет назад

I tried the formula; however, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. My fat quarter was 22" and so I needed to double the number of strips.

Thank you, What does the back side the binding look like?

@FatQuarterShopTX 6 лет назад

Hey sd! Unfortunately we didn't get the back side of the binding, but we promise we'll get it next time!

@pamshaske9212 7 лет назад

I've watched several videos teaching this method. Yours was very good. But the one thing they all have in common, is not showing the other side. The problem I have is that the stitching on the other side, is sometimes where it should be and sometimes an 1/8 - 1/4 inch away from the binding . Which doesnt look so hot on the front of the quilt. How do I correct this Problem?

@pamshaske9212 7 лет назад

I tend to put the binding on the back and bring over to the top so the stitching is good on the front, but then still have this issue on the back. Either way, I don't know what I'm doing wrong

@FatQuarterShopTX 7 лет назад

Hi Pam - You aren't necessarily doing anything wrong, that is a very typical issue for this style of binding. I find that the more i pin and the slower I go, the better results I get. There will still be times when you don't catch the binding on the back. Just make sure you have trimmed your quilt sandwich right up to the edge, nice and straight so when your binding is pulled over, it stays nice and even. To get the best results possible, I prefer to bind by hand.

@ime4489 7 лет назад

after watching hundreds of videos, I finally found my mistake! incorrect pinning. thanks a lot

@LisaLisa-zl9vu 4 года назад

I don't understand how the green binding is stitched to the front if you are sewing onto the red fabric hence the use of red thread. Please explain? I'm baffled at this point.

@hajjar7162 Год назад

Is this necessary to make the strip’s length same for the quilt?

Hello Hajjar! We recommend cutting the strips at the same length to make sure there's enough fabric.

Maybe I missed something but when you join the 2 binding pieces won’t it open being you didn’t sew the 2 together?

@FatQuarterShopTX 4 года назад

Hello! They are not pieced together, but one end is tucked into the other, and it is sewn tightly down on both sides. It will not come apart if sewn tightly.
