I then fold it over to the back, pin it down, and do a Stitch in the Ditch on the top of the binding, making sure to catch the binding on the back. Some people hand sew the back part on, but I really dislike hand sewing, so I do it by machine!

If you Google "How to bind a quilt" there are tons of articles and videos on how to do it, sometimes it helps to have a visual. Look at a few different ways, and pick the one that works best for you. There really is no "right or wrong" way when it comes to quilting!

Best of luck! :D
