My new favorite method is to use bobby pins. Cheap and easy, plus it works.


I only machine bind, 2.5" strips sewn together, then bobby-pinned to the back side. I sew 1.4" from quilt edge all around - with the exception of corners.

Then I turn the quilt over and fold the rest of the binding over the front quilt edge, and bobby-pin in place. I am not a nut case about the thread from attaching the binding to the top showing on the back of the quilt. I use a thread color that matches the binding on the top, and use a bobbin thread that matches/blends with the back.

It works for me, and no one who has received one of my quilts has complained. Then again, I'm the kind of person people are more likely to complain about, but not to! (LOL)
