Hi Everyone,

I'm ready to bind this little table runner I've recently made, and am a bit stymied as to how to bind this darlin'. I'm not having much luck finding what I'm looking for on the net, and I don't have the proper binding 'tool'.

I have 2.25" folded binding all prepared and ready to go. In fact, I already started sewing it down one side of my table runner. I came to the corner, not the usual 90° angle that I've done, and went "Hmm". I sure would appreciate some help with this.

Thanks so much.

I've saved a very detailed tutorial which should answer your question.
Hope this helps.

Cut your binding to go past the corner by about 2". Use your ruler, most have 45' angles drawn on them, this should help you to get the angle you need.

I didn't see the previous post, just follow the tutorial.

Wow,i just love it oh the colors are beautiful and the work is to

Thanks! :thumbup: That's an excellent tutorial!! :thumbup: I was on the right track, just didn't have the angle quite right. When I get it on right and done, I'll post a pic. You guys are the BEST! :D

Oh my goodness! I just made the very same runner (of course diff. fabrics) for a swap. I goofed up the FMQing so am redoing that part, but in the meantime, I too was wondering how to do the binding. Thanks for asking and for the tip.

wow, thanks for the link for the binding tutorial!

Thank you very much. :D

Gorgeous table runner! Glad someone helped with the binding! I'm saving the tute for later projects!

How about that? :lol: I'm really glad I asked then. Most generally, there's more than one of us wondering how to do something. Best of luck with finishing yours. I do hope you'll post a pic when you're done. :D

Thank you very much. It will go nicely with my sunflower decor in my dining room. Very cheery, too. :D

I've done this table runner myself 3 times. I sew to the center of the point of the angle...remove the runner from the machine...flip the binding up as you normally would making the right angle to the left of the point of the corner ...now the tricky part... normally the binding is brought down and lined up with the corner and you continue sewing. with this angle you bring down the binding and line it up with the right side of the quilt. The pleat at the angled corner is not as deep as the regular corner. I hope you can understand what I mean. I have some binding I can show you. I'll take photos tomorrow and post them. I have one of these runners in progress so it will be easy to show you. Anne

cool, thanks for sharing your technique with us, will be looking forward to seeing it

Thanks,

I'll be interested to see how your technique might differ from the tutorial offered above. I just got my binding sewn on per those instructions. Now to flip it over and see if it worked. :D

It's the same. So now I don't have to make a sample :)

You're welcome. Glad it worked for you. :D

I love your table runner!! :D I am also glad you asked your question about the binding. This information is really good. I have bookmarked it for future use myself!! Thanks for sharing.
:D :D :D :D

I love your Table Runner. Great job.

Thank you so much. I really needed the visuals in the tutorial. Hubby kinda folded the angle the way he thought it should go, but I needed to know HOW that happened. Sharing helps us all!

Thank you. This was a fun pattern; a first for me. Fast and easy, too. :thumbup:

Love your runner. Very nice job. I also bookmarked the tute for future reference.

Thank you. I almost have my binding done! Yay!

Thank God for this tute! It just made my life so much easier!!

Also try Alicia's Attic on Youtube if you want to see the corner in a video.

found lots of tutorials with words... here's a partial one with pictures: http://sassypacks.blogspot.com/2011/...e-corners.html
here's another, maybe more helpful: http://ankastreasures.wordpress.com/...ng-odd-angles/

I'm having the same problem, is this Jenny's binding table runner? :) Going to check out the website that others have suggested.

Thanks Wendy

quiltedparadise.com Wasn't this the name of the first Quilting Board's newsletter put out by Konstantin, who use to own the Quilting Board?

Here is a youtube video how to bind odd angles on quilts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vci9-li3aYU

I have clicked on the link but it comes up as "broken". Is anyone else having this problem?

I did and then read the date of the original post, which was back in 2010.

I have done these tablerunners too, but I just "birthed" them, then sewed about 1/4" around edge to look like binding....much faster and just as good... I do that for all, well most, tablerunners, placemats, small stuff......

I just found these two sites: http://ankastreasures.wordpress.com/...ng-odd-angles/ and http://ankastreasures.wordpress.com/...ng-odd-angles/. Hope they help

The end points *are* 90 degrees. Put a square ruler on it and see for yourself. The other angles are greater than 90 degrees. You do them the same way though, fold the binding up with the fold being in line with the corner and then fold back down with the binding being even with the edge.

I need a tutorial for the same table runner but this site "http://www.quiltedparadise.com/n/215-ezl.jsp" is no longer any good does anyone know of a different one?

BellaBoo posted a youtube video here on page 4. I have one to do this month, too. Thank you for finding this old thread.

When I click on the link it tells me that the page is not available. I would love to see this tutorial.

Irishrose2 you say "BellaBoo posted a youtube video here on page 4." Where is "here and page 4"? Sorry if I am just hard headed and don't understand.

I cannot find this tutorial. Is it still posted? I am new to this group and not sure how to navigate around.
