Quilt Binding: The Cheater Way 

THAT is a DARN AWESOME TIP!!! Thank you. LOVE THIS. LOVE the edge you did on that heart too.

Yes, I found this method on RU-vid two years ago, and it changed my life. I no longer have binding fears. It does leave a little more bulk, but like you pointed out, you can't tell once it's finished. So many quilts stayed unfinished before learning this hack. Thanks for sharing. More quilters will hopefully learn this method and save them binding stress.

Hi Emma Jane. This is very similar to how i learned binding at the beginning. I could never quite get it right but after seeing this I think i was doing it wrong. I now do it the traditional way but i love this video and how you showed it.

Hey - you shared my secret 😆. I do a few hand stitches once the binding is folded and sewn down.

I learned this method from a video of Pin, Cut, Sew. Love using this method.

I would never have thought of folding and tucking in the raw edges, this is a great idea. I will give it a go. Many thanks

My favorite way to close binding 👍. Thank you for the video 😊

Awesome! Wish I had watched this video about 2 hours ago. 😂 Would have saved me a date with Jack the Ripper to get to the end result! Thank you!

Yes, that is how I've been doing it for years. That bit that the quilt books showed us in the 70s?? I tried it twice, and discovered this works just as well, and I haven't pulled my hair out or punched holes in the walls, since.😂.And, it is hard to see anyway, where we joined the ends.💁‍♀️ More quilts finished, and my sanity is still intact.😊

I do all my quilts this way.

Nice quilt

Thank you for that. I have never enjoyed doing my own binding. I've struggled through it & it's frustrating. I've paid someone one else to put the binding on for me. It's like torture. So I'll give your idea a try. It looks like it is worth the effort to try it.

Life changing for me! I love it!

Love this method!

Great tip, thanks

When you piece your binding strips together do you have to sew diagonally??? Can you just sew a straight line seam and trim it?? Thanks!!!
