Decorative Stitching on Binding
#22
I use decorative stitching on my bindings all the time. If you are in doubt, fix yourself a sample with all the layers and try out the stitches on that. For my quilts, I sew the binding to the back then turn it to the front and stitch it down with the decorative stitch. I think the one I use was originally designed for stitching two pieces of fabric together without overlapping them.

Thank you so much for these great pictures. I love this idea, and I am going to do it! I notice that most quilters pin their binding onto the quilt. I never use pins. Just hands. Always comes out perfectly. Easy.

I can't see why it wouldn't work. If it is quite thick maybe use the walking foot. I have used decorative stitches for quilting on art quilts with the walking foot and it works. Love the design your niece came up with.
