    [quote=sarahrachel]I asked if I should birth or bind a baby quilt and got quite a few comments asking what birthing was so I'm going to try to explain it. This is my first tutorial so bear with me.

    You did good. I did not know it was called "birthing." I just thought it was turning something inside out and sewing. I never thought about it for a quilt. Thanks for the tutuorial.

    In the old old days we just called it pillowcasing, somehow I didn't connect "birthing" just a little too graphic for an oldie!:)

    This is a wonderful way to finish a quilt for those of us who get bunches in the back of any project we quilt on our regular sewing machines. It ties beautifully!!!!.

    Thanks! I want to make a star spin table topper for my mother in law and was wondering how to finish the edges. It seems to me that this technique might work better than binding for non-rectangular projects.
