Cute Pumpkin Table Runner, but how do I bind it?
I have pieced two of this pumpkin pattern in the last couple of weeks. I like it because it can be used throughout the fall season.
http://www.suzannesarthouse.com/default.htm I am not affiliated with this company/designer, am just a happy customer. But, how do you bind a corner that is not 90 degrees, but is 135 degrees instead? Any tips or advice? Thanks! |
you always line up the binding straight back from what ever line you are working on. The angle really doesn't matter. At least that has been my experience. That is a cute pattern!

Thanks, Debra. I plan on quilting them this weekend, but just can't visualize the binding thing yet. Good to hear that it's probably no big deal. :-)

I would cut the binding on the bias. It will give more on those angles! Luann in CT

I do as DebraK said. Stitch binding until 1/4" from edge, then fold binding back to the new angle (instead of the 90 degree angle) and stitch starting at the edge. I have done with straight grain and bias and both work well.
Cute runner pattern! |
My favourite odd angle tutorial is on www.ankastreasures.

I made this pattern several years ago. It's on my antique Hoosier cabinet right now. I made just a regular binding. No difference in it whatsoever, just a couple more corners and folds.
