I actually like binding a quilt :lol: ....it's putting the quilt sandwich together that I hate but after watching a video of Sharon Schamber's method (found it on the above mentioned website) I can't wait to give it a try!
Good luck on your binding and don't forget to post some pics when you are done.

Heather Bailey has a super instruction on her site. Easy-peasy and makes that dreaded task restful and restorative. I personally love binding and sit in front of the TV with my DH and bind until it's done.
Here is the link to Heather's tutorial. It's a PDF.

If you go to www.SharonSchamber.com look for her video tutorial that shows how to bind a quilt. She uses Elmer's School glue for the basting part and shows a wonderful easy way to join your strips and ends together. I have used this method-very leary at first- but love it.

Don't give up--my bindings used to be crammed together at the ends, lumpy with too much fabric, etc. Then a dear friend showed me how to do it properly so it fit just exactly right and I've never had a problem with it again--easy to do once you've got it down. She made me a practice sandwich with practice strips attached and wrote down the directions exactly. PM me and I'll do the same for you (paying it forward).
Don't waste your money on that plastic binding "tool". When I was struggling to figure out how to end binding I bought this and now just use it for a small straight-edge.

I use 2 1/2 inch strips folded in half. I also sew my binding to the back of the quilt and then stitch with the machine on the front. It takes some practice, but it looks very nice and is much faster and easier on my hands.

The Cut-Rite Bind Up tool will SOLVE your binding problems. I reviewed it on my blog, including the video tutorial.

I have no financial interest in this product. I promise it works. I watched every tutorial and tried every method. This was the only thing I found that works for me consistently. I think i'm somehow spatially challenged. Anyway, this is a great tool. I love it.
