That's how I always join my strips for binding now. No worry if I cut the angle right, since I don't cut an angle anymore. This just works so much easier. I used to join the ends that way, but now sew the ends together with a bias seam instead.

This is the way I've always done it (for the few quilts I've made).
Usually, I make one of those continuous strips --- Help me! what is it called? --- but would LOVE someone to tell me what the formula is when you don't need a full yard sewn and cut on the diagonal.
I always end up with strips I don't need and wonder if I'll ever find a use for later.
I saw it once somewhere and should have taken notes!

(Length x width) x 2 + ??? = ???

I like this way because the double fabric and the bias makes it easy to bind around uneven seams ( ! ) and makes it tight and wears well over time.

Thanks!

WOW - looks much easier than using a binding tool and wrestling with the strips so you can sew a good diagonal seam at the end. I can't wait to try this! Thanks for sharing!

I've never seen it done like this. I've bookmarked the page and am going to try it with my next binding.

I learned this way when I first started quilting, and found it to be the easiest way for me to bind my quilt.

I love that last idea! I always hated trying to match the two ends.!

Wowwwwww, thanks so much. I always have such a time with corners that I end up rounding them off......not no more....I love it, and will try it on my new GGDs quilt in the making now.

Love, Jo Ann

That is a great site. I saw this on Sewing with Nancy the other day. This must be something new. I used this method on a small quilt, works really well.
