Binding a quilt
After all of these years of quilting and binding quilts, I am still not happy with the way my bindings look. I am a visual learner. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good video on how to bind your quilt with perfect mitered corners? I have watched a few and am still at a loss.

I have gone to UTube several times and watched and have always felt I gained a lot of practical help.

Try ankastreasures.wordpress.com and click on the tutorials section. I find her tutorials helpful.

Donna Jordan's tutorial on binding was super helpful for me. Her website is jordanfabrics.com.
|
There are good tutorials on the quilting board too.

These are my favorite methods. We were give instructions to watch these prior to a class project involving inside and outside corners. I linked them all so you can choose the one you want.

It is like a lot of quilting, practice, practice. I use to have problems mitering the corners. I just kept trying, eventually it all just worked.

This is Sharon Schamber's binding video. I find it so soothing to listen to her. It's the only method I've tried and it works great. |
