Is there a faster way to sew the binding on the back of a quilt?
I making this quilt for a friend of mine, and this is my first quilt I will have ever made. My aunt was helping me make the quilt as she made hers, and then she had to leave so I am on my own now. I am down to the very last thing sewing the binding on. I have sewed the binding on the front side already, and now I am folding it over to sew it on the back. I was just wondering if there is an easier way to the sew the binding to the back instead of hand stitching it all the way around. I saw this lady on tv making quilts and she says she never hand stitches the back she using her sewing machine. Is there someone that can explain this method to me, and is there any others methods out there besides this one. I can always just sew it by hand I just thought I would see if there were any other methids out there that would make it go by a little faster. Thanks in advance for any help.
There is a faster way to attach the binding, but because you’ve already sewed the binding to the front side, you should just finish it that way. In the future, you can attach the binding completely by machine but you start by sewing it to the BACK of the quilt. You fold it to the front, then stitch 1/8″ from the edge of the binding to hold it in place. It doesn’t look quite as nice as the hand stitched finish because you’ll see the stitching line on the back, below the edge of the binding. This is why you start by sewing it to the back instead of the front – otherwise you’d have a stitching line visible on the front of the quilt.
