I haven't tried it, but it sounds good to me. I'll give it a try on my next binding.

Flipped it to the front, folded it over and under to the front, then machine stitchedon the front. My mitered corners are neat and tidy. This is my new method...i actually enjoyed sewing on a binding!

I've never pressed a binding in my life! I guess that's a good reason not to read all the "expert" tips. LOL. :D

So are you starting with a 2.25 - 2.5" strip then folding it in half? Then if you sew it to the back first, do you top stitch it on the front? Sounds interesting.

OK, so I'm reading different things here. One person sews it to the back first and another to the front first then one person hand sews it and one person machine stitches it. I'm so confused

I tried this method today and I have to say it also has been my best binding so far. I am really liking the way it turned out. Will be doing it this way from now on.......:thumbup:

I just tried this method today and I have to agree that this was the best way to do it. I will never press my bindings again!
|
I read your suggestion and decided to try it. I loved the way my binding looked. I machine sewed it to the front and hand sewed it to the back. Thanks for sharing. Skipping that ironing step saves quite a bit of time.

Thank you ladies. I am all about faster and easier. I am going to try this as soon as I get finished quilting the quilt I am working on.
