Binding isn't Scary after all!!
 
2 Attachment(s)
The first few quilts I made i used the "fold over" method, bringing the backing to the front and stitching it down. Some of the binding tutorials I watched made it look so hard!

I finally broke down and spent a few days researching different techniques and put a few together to try it.

The result didn't turn out half bad! The corners even look somewhat mitered.

You are so right! not too scary after all. You did very well.

Looks great. What technique did you finally use?

Great job! I love finishing up the binding by hand.

Nice job! I never have minded bindings. I can't get the hang of the fold over method though!

Glad you're finding it easier now. Bindings give your quilt the finished look..... good or bad. Yours looks good.

I remember struggling with the binding the first few times i did it - now i can't remember why i thought it was so hard. It's one of those things that once you get it, you really get it.
Yours look MUCH better than my first attempts for sure !!!
