Hi, Does anyone have a way to attach machine binding so it looks nice on both sides of quilt. Would like to use this on a baby quilt. Mine always looks messy on one side. Thanks, Lorraine

I've used the flange binding and been very happy with it. But if the quilt has star points at the edge (no border) the flange will slightly cover them

I sew all of my bindings by machine. I sew it to the back of the quilt first and then turn it over to the front, then top stitch it down; using either a straight stitch or one of the decorative stitches.

Then I turn back to the top of the quilt and stitch in the ditch. I go slow and keep checking to make sure I catching the back binding I usually use clear thread on top and thread that matches the binding in the bobbin. Here is a tutorial and it has worked well for me. Instead of glue she used clips. https://beechtreelanehandmade.com/20...nding-tutorial
I am going to try this method on the quilt I'm working on right now. You might like it. https://awomanaday.com/2013/01/17/ha...nding-edition/ |
