Need Help With Ruffles
Hello everyone. I'm new here. I was hoping to get some help. I am working on a quilt with a premade ruffle binding. Best I can tell I should've attached the binding by sandwiching it between layers before quilting but I didn't. I got my quilt quilted then went to attach the binding as I always do. I got it wrapped around and sewn on just fine, but I can't figure out how to join the ends! Nothing is working. Does anyone have ideas? This is just a premade ruffle binding from Hobby Lobby. I normally just make binding strips myself and have never worked with ruffles so this is new to me. Thank you!

I'm presuming this riffled bindings goes around the whole quilt and all you are asking is joining beginning to end.....I don't know anything about ruffle binding, but just of the top of my head...turn under a 1/4" at beginning and when you get to beginning again, turn under1/4", sew by hand, then join two pieces together by hand??????just a guess......

I might make a design feature.

Okay, it won't let me correct first post so I will try again. I might make it a design feature. I would bring one end over the other and curl the long edge into a rose or circle and hand stitch it to the quilt top. You could also sew a little section of matching fabric over the ends and use it as a label. A couple little rose buds or ribbons added to dress it up.

Can you post a picture of the quilt and ruffle binding?
Did you sew the ruffle to back of quilt and bring around to the front? I would tuck one end of ruffle into the other end of ruffle. Fold back the top ruffle inside to create a hem and stitch together. Good luck! |
