Bias Binding for quilt with inside corners?
...with inside corners?
I've watched the videos and I think I can figure out the binding of this wallhanging with its inside corners, but I'm wondering if I should use a bias binding or just a regular binding would work? I've never made a bias binding before. Any tips? Watson |
I would think regular binding would work as long as you are not binding curves

I would go with bias binding .... the stretch it allows you will help turn those inside corners, and help lessen the cursing of the inside corners!
Let Best Press or even a starch, be your best friend to make the bias binding. Treat and press it well, before you start cutting, to help control any stretch-risk! Then make your binding, as you normally would. That's the easy part .... then the fun (???) of the inside corners. :) Good Luck!! ... I am sure you will do fine. |

The only place I disagree with QuiltE (this is a first!!) is that I probably would not press the binding. By not pressing it you can manipulate into place better ... some "wiggle room" so to speak. |
I vote for bias binding because it will be so much easier working on the inside curves but IMHO I also believe that binding cut on the bias wears better than fabric cub on the straight of grain.

However, wiggle room is always good to have! :) |
Alex Anderson uses straight binding for inside corners. She actually snips into the corner and pulls it almost straight when attaching the binding. Then she manipulates the binding to fit nicely into the corner.

I vote for bias binding. Look on utube for "continuous bias binding". Doesn't take much fabric and I think it lays nicely.
