Help binding a rag quilt
#12
I know this is a bit off topic but still about rag quilts..I watched 2 you tube tutes. one by Missouri star, who stitched an "X" on the blocks, the 2nd didn't. Which is best? Also neither used a batting,is this the norm or just done to quicken video?
Thank you

I've never bound a flannel rag quilt. Simply snip as you do the center blocks. But FIRST, do a double line of stitching (1 inch in) all around the outside edge for durability. I have a large one in my own den; it's 4 years old, been washed many times and is in perfect condition; nothing cozier!

I made one for my eldest DD for Christmas. It was my first attempt at a rag quilt. I used 3 layers of flannel, no batting and quilted an X. It worked out nicely. I also stitched around the outside edge and then snipped.
