I do it just like BJ does it. Just pin, pin, pin, go slow, & take the pin out as you come to it.

What kind of decorative stitch do you use?
|
I machine sew to the back of the quilt ... then iron the binding over. Sometimes i use a glue stick if the project is large. Then I use my decorative stitches to overlap the binding on the front. Works every time. Of course I cut my binding 2 1/2 inches wide for ease in doing this.

I always bring by binding to the front and sew it on, I am SO not a hand sew the binding on type of gal. On the following posting I did you can see a project I did using this method and I also give you the link for instructions on how to do the binding and the project.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MRfADz_pyg Try looking at both of these videos, and it will give you one approach. I don't try to cover the stitching when I turn it over to the front. I bring the folded side over to meet the stitching and sew along the edge of the binding. That way, it is neat on the back as well. |
I enjoyed the answers here since it was a question I had too. Thanks everyone.

I tried this with my last baby quilt and had to tear it all out and ended up hand sewing
