I use this method of flip and turn when doing small lap top covers and playmats for children. I stitch in the ditch quilt when I use this method. I wait until I have all the quilting done before I finish up the turn out opening. I usually baste the opening closed then topstitch with my machine all 4 sides.
I quick baste the layers together and check for possible bubbles before beginning the machine sid quilting..Fo me this is quicker than putting on binding and stitching around the quilt again. |
I've always known this method as called "knife edge border" and it's great for smaller quilts like baby quilts or sofa throws. However, I always quilt it before sewing the hole closed, old habits die hard I guess. The last one I did like this was a sofa throw size, and I just did SID for quilting due to time mostly.

That's exactly how I've done runners and placemats, but I still think binding looks much nicer... I always do binding on bigger quilts.

I layered and taped the unit from the bottom up... batting back - right side UP top - right side DOWN Pinned the 3 pieces to make sure it didn't move. Stitch around the perimeter with the quilt top on top so I could make sure I saw the 1/4" seam part. Leave about 12" to turn - trim close to edge then right side out. I flattened smooth, and pinned for quilting (hand distance apart) and stitched around the binding. I sewed the closure afterwards. |
