Binding a Table Runner
 

I need help binding a table runner that is not oblong, but comes to points on the ends. I am trying to use the technic used when doing a quilt, but is not working on the corner where it is straight on one side and at an angle the other side going towards the point. I have spent more time on this binding than on making the top and I have 3 more to do. Can anyone help me?

Sorry to hear you are having problems. I only did one of these once before and my quilting buddy helped me. I just know we brought the binding up to the angle, then folded the binding (it kind of made an overlap) and that is the way I stiched it. I am sure there are other techniques. I would search on line for the Missouri Quilt videos on utube. They have a lot of videos and there may be one there that would help you. Good luck.

Here you go - ehow had good written directions, but this one has great pictures.

Here's a great video that I believe answers your question: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vci9-li3aYU

There may be help on the tutorial section. Someone did an octogon, it may help.

This is the one I was going to recommend also. Hope it helps.

Thanks for the link--I bookmarked it for myself for future use :)

Thanks for the help. I have tried a couple of corners and that technique worked.. Thanks again.

The one posted for Alicia's Attic is probably the best I have seen. Why don't the patterns for those table runners give better instructions for the binding. it is so frustrating.
