You mean to pull the backing around and sewing it down? I tried that one time and it looked like crap. MUCH easier to go to www.youtube.com and look up "quilt binding".....The method most of us here use is to cut the fabric off, fold in half lengthwise, sew it on the front. Then you pull it around the back and hand sew or machine sew it down. Oh -- and if the quilt is straight sided, just cut the fabric. If the quilt has scalloped or rounded edges, then you have to cut the fabric on the bias.
