have many of you wrapped your binding from the back to the front & what kind of issues have you run into?
|
I've never done this, I always do a reg. binding.
|
I did a doll quilt that way by mistake. If the recipient noticed she didn't say anything.
|
I finished a doll quilt like that for my grand daughter and it turned out perfectly.

Are you saying to bring the underside edge of the quilt fabric over the top side of the quilt and binding to the top? I actually have done it when I was running short on material and I liked the added flavor.
The only issue I remember is turning the corners because I haven't perfected that art yet. I just pinned, looked, liked or didn't like and repeated the process until I liked. Can't wait to see pictures, please. On this baby blanket I folded the topside over and binded it to the back. Your idea would be the flopside but I think it would be pretty. |
If my backing is wider than my top, wrapping the backing around to the front and hand stitching is my preferred method. If they are the sam size then I will use a separate bindibg strip.

Oh thank you, thank you, for this info and pic's. I have a baby quilt that HAS to be finished today/tonight and I think I will try this method. I'm assuming it's faster than regular binding?

the only time i don't bring the backing fabric to the front as binding is if it wouldn't also look good as a traditional binding.
i make sure to fold it double before bringing it to the front, just as i would traditional binding. |
Unless I do traditional binding, I sew the double fold to the back, pull it to the front and use a decorative stitch on my machine to sew it down. By using a decorative stitch, it is not as noticeable if the seam line isn't perfectly straight. MUCH faster!

I am glad you posted this. I am going to try this on mine this weekend.
