folding corners- minkie backing folded to front for binding
9 Attachment(s)
i was asked to show how i folded the corners to bind my 'celtic dreams' quilt with the minkie backing- brought forward and machine stitched
i snapped a few pics and will try to show this first i trim the batting (if used) even with the top- then i trim the minkie to about 1" wide all the way around the top i start part way down a side and fold the minkie to the edge of the top- then fold again over the top and start stitching. when i come close to a corner i fold the corner in (diagonally) to the point of the quilt top- then fold again i then fold the side as i have been to form 1/2 of a miter- and stitch to the edge of the miter i stop- clip threads- remove quilt from machine- turn it- fold the next side to finish the miter and continue folding stitching down the next side- here's the pics. i used regular fabrics & tried to keep my fingers out of the way. |
Thank you for showing me how to do the folds. I have 1 question reguarding the corner....did you fold the corner down twice or just once before you did the sides?
duh I guess I should have studied the pics better cause I see what you did now! Thank you |
THANK YOU!!! I'm just about ready to put Minkey backing on a baby quilt, and I will give it a try.

Thank you so much. I love your rings, they are beautiful!

Thanks for your pictures! I knew there was an easier method for mitered corners, just couldn't remember it ... has to be senior moments abounding.

Wonderful tutorial. A real help to us newbies...trying to make a lap quilt for a friend's mother and needed a better way to do the border than bias. Great work.
