Quilt Binding
#1
Hi everyone,
I have only made one quilt, a rag quilt. I am hoping to try my hand at a D9P soon. What way do you prefer to edge/bind your quilt? Do you prefer using the backing material or bias tape? Is either way easier than the other?
Thanks for the info and help.
Have a great day/evening!!

I take a 2.5 inch strip, fold in half and machine sew to back of quilt. Then I flip it over and hand stitch to front of quilt. I miter the corners. I love doing the binding. there are great videos on line regarding how to do this.

I always make my own, same way that hopetoquilt does.
I have found that the prepared parkaged binding does not wear well, frays on edge after awhile.
I also think that the binding is the final frame on the quilt and usually use a fabric that will give the quilt it's final flurish.
If I use a plaid, or any geometric pattern, I like it on the bias.

I like to make a separate binding from some of the fabric used in the quilt. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-124902-1.htm
