    Binding Joining the ends

    I have always had a difficult time joining the ends of the binding.
    This starts out joining the strips but # 3-4 is the joining ends.
    Hope this helps others.
    It worked great on a binding I am finishing today.

    This looks so practical and very to do. In my mind, this method makes sense.

    I do it this way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWh90tXr7g4 Fast forward to 3 min into the video. It so simple to do it this way.
    Got fabric?

    Thanks for sharing this, it seems even easier! Does it add a lot of bulk?

    No, finger pressed open and it's just like the rest of the joinings.
    Looks the same.

    Oh my gosh, that is the most useful video I've ever seen. Never saw that way of bringing the two ends together before. Thank you so much for this video.

    The clearest way I've come across is to overlap the ends by the width of the binding, and cut. Then you can bend them upwards (terrible explanation, I know), overlap, and sew the diagonal, trim, and when you place the binding back down it's just the right length and it fits.
    People who start projects and never finish them are cooler
    than people who never start projects at all.
