Thank you, THANK YOU!!!! I have struggled with this step of the binding over and over again. I've ripped out way too many times...for some reason you have clarified whatever I had muddied in my brain...again, Thank you!!!

Hi Rita,

If I could reach you I would hug you right now! Thanks for writing this tutorial. I followed your steps exactly and attached the best binding I have ever done by machine. Thank you!!

I have completed many quilts and I must say, that I always have trouble with the last part, where you sew the two ends together. I ALWAYS have to look up that part on line. I can't seem to master it. Thanks for the easy to follow, concise instructions. I shall refer to your blog in the future when I come to that part of binding. Thank you!

Thank you for this explanation. This is generally how I bind a quilt but I was missing the all important last step of stitching the back of the binding on from the front and keeping that stitch in the ditch. You're awesome. Thank you.

Sorry to comment on an old post/tutorial, but THANK YOU! I'm a beginner quilter & my first project was a small baby quilt that took me days to bind by hand (and the end result wasn't that spectacular either!). My second quilt was significantly larger and I dreaded to think of the weeks I was likely to spend slaving over the binding. Thanks to your tutorial, I just finished the binding on this bigger quilt in a matter of 2 hours! And it looks a LOT more polished than my hand binding effort, let me tell you! With 4.5 weeks until my baby is due, I can use the time I've saved to make her another small baby quilt!

As for the technical aspects of the process, I found the pinning to be quite tedious, but much less tedious than going back to fix areas where the back binding didn't get caught by the stitches, so it's definitely worth taking the time to pin properly. Practice definitely makes perfect too. By the 4th edge of my quilt, I was concealing the stitches in the ditch on the front and also not missing any areas of the binding on the back!

Huge thanks again for such a brilliant tutorial!

Thank you so much for this well-written tutorial. Hand-stitching binding makes me crazy! I'm going to try this instead.

I know that this is an old tutorial....but thanks!...

I know that this is an old tutorial....but thanks! I just used it today...still learning the details, but it's a great idea. Thanks

2011-09-21T23:32:11.146+10:00

I REALLY don't like to hand sew on my bindings. It's my least favorite part. I tried your method, and all seemed to be going well until I turned the quilt over to look at the front, and my stitches had dipped off the binding and onto the quilt top. I'm not going to give up though! I'll just keep practicing it, because it's way better than hand stitching (IMO). Thanks for your tutorial! It also ended up as my very first blog post! http://wannabequilter.wordpress.com/

2011-07-29T06:15:47.457+10:00

I don't like stitching but I very enjoyed your blog and also enjoying this because I do by hands and you do by machine, I like only simple stitch approach with the use of machine!

2011-07-25T03:35:18.000+10:00

LOVE this way of binding a quilt!! I like you do not like to hand sew my binding. I also found that I like to pin on the front of the quilt then I can see if I need to make adjustments to the back spacing, and the pins are easier to remove. And yes lots of pins are needed. Just finished the Alice quilt and it can out so cute.

2011-07-21T01:26:07.643+10:00

Thank you! I just completed my very first machine binding and it came out perfect (ok, not perfect but it's still way good!). It's for a charity auction this weekend, and thanks to your tut on machine binding I was able to finish it!

2011-04-26T01:30:55.730+10:00

Thanks for this great tutorial. I think I'm going to try this on a mug rug this week. I have two questions though: 1.)Do you trim your quilt to right along the edge of your quilt top or do you leave a little extra batting along the edge and 2.) How do you handle the quilt corners with the machine binding?

Thank you!

Just as I was going to email you to see about your machine binding technique, I found the tutorial, thanks so much for the info and I cannot wait to try it out on my next quilts.

Okay, I just tried your tutorial. I think I need a little more practice. I'm not completely unhappy with the result but I guess I'm so used to the look of the hand stitched binding. thank you...

I linked to your tutorial on my mug rug tutorial because it's so useful, but I just wanted to let you know!

So glad I found this tutorial! I was going to purchase a little gadget that helps with binding. However, after reading this, I can save my money! Thank you so much!

2011-02-04T12:09:25.249+11:00

I found this tutorial really good. Upon reading it I found I'd forgotten to trim back the binding tails so that they overlap by the width of the original binding strip plus 1/4 inch, and then couldn't figure out why it was too big. The other problem was that I was binding a mug rug, and you can't leave that much to finish it off, but managed to work that bit out through trial and error. So your tute was a good reminder of what I had to do.
Thank you

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I tried it today with a small baby quilt and had moderate success. I'm sure it will get easier with practice. It is definitely faster and less tedious than hand sewing! :)

Great tutorial - Binding is the part that never gets done unless it is completed with binding by machine.

I definitely haven't figured out binding, but I'm all about using the machine. What a great little tutorial for how to bind.. I didn't know there was so many different ways. Hopefully this will help with my corners! Kudos.
