If I am understanding you correctly, you must use a single, rather than a double fold binding, otherwise I don't get it.

It ends up double fold. you start out with two strips and sew them together. Treat that like you would if it had not been sewn, but it is a regular strip that you would fold in half. Sew it on like usual. When you wrap it over, one fabric is on one side, the other is on the opposite side. The fabric that folds over to the opposite side is cut 1/4" wider so that it will show.
I tried it on scraps and it worked for me :wink:

I don't know if you can see this but here goes. It's on the blurry side. Normally you put raw edges together to sew but with this binding you are putting the raw edge of the runner (quilt) with a fold. After you sew. You have to make sure you have the right binding on the right side. Does this help

What a great video link! I have to try that and I love the idea of two sided binding.

Here are couple of more pictures that show the 2 sided binding.
Once you have it sewn down you will know exactly how to turn it. Again the seam becomes the fold of the attached binding.

okie...thats a great tablerunner! I love both sides and I'd have never thought of a double sided binding! I think I have figured out how you did it...I know I could if I were fiddling with it. thanks for sharing!

These videos were so helpful. I can't wait to try this method. Thank you for sharing.

I found Sharon's binding with glue method by accident about a year ago. I've tried it on my quilts and love it. The only thing I don't like is the holes on the tips you put on the glue bottle. It's hard for the glue to come out easily and my hand gets very tired squeezing the bottle of glue. I bought the DVD of this method from her web site to make sure I can get answers to my questions if she takes the video off the site. She is one fantastic quilter!

I find that keeping the bottle full of glue makes it easier to squeeze it out :D:D:D
