How do I bind these angles?
1 Attachment(s)
[ATTACH=CONFIG]585018[/ATTACH]This is a 33" table topper I'm making for a friend. How do I bind those points. I think I know how to do the outward points, but what do I do with the inward ones?
|
What about the "birthing method" instead of binding?
|
Birthing is a good idea, as is adding facings.
Marci Baker has good you tube videos on binding different angles: Binding innie angles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VGNcDoI-R8 Binding non 90 degree angles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vci9-li3aYU |
If you want to do binding, check out the tutorials on ankastreasures.wordpress.com

The outer angles are 90 deg so you should be able to do a normal corner on those. The inside ones will be tricky.
|
If you cut your binding on the bias you will be able to ease it round inside angle.
|
Use Bias binding. It's easier than it looks. You actually pull the quilt almost straight to sew through the inside angle.
I was really nervous when I had a quilt with 90 degree inside corners, but it turned out well following these two videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Be9dzI_X41w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VGNcDoI-R8&t=3s Watson |
Many thanks to all of you. I knew I would find the answer here.
This table topper is reversible with multi blues on the reverse. It was a total experiment turning a pattern for a 58" tree skirt into a 33"reversible table topper. My geometry class from second year high school came in handy. Used up lots of scraps, but there are still piles to be used. |
It's wonderful!

I am so glad that you mentioned what you learned in geometry. Most kids say, "when will I ever use this". My answer was "you never know".
