It takes a little practise but not so much. When you sew your binding to the back of the quilt use thread in the bobbin that enables you to see these stitches. You will use that as a point of reference. Once the binding is attached to the backing, fold the binding over the raw edge of the quilt and bring it up to, but not beyond, that row of contrastting thread. Sew close to the edge of the binding and you will have a even row of stitching that is near the edge on both the front and the back of the quilt. Sew slowly at first, you will get the hang of it sooner than you think.

I have tried clips, gluing prior to sewing, but I just can't get the line straight on the front. Any Help? Any Tips? What am I doing wrong?
