Double-mitered binding
 
1 Attachment(s)
I took a class where I learned this technique. In this method you sew each corner of the binding individually. The teacher recommended that we make a small sample and mark each corner with part of the technique. That way we have something to refer to when our memory leaves us in the lurch.

Here is the pdf with pictures.

That looks really interesting just glancing at the pictures. I'll have to take the time to read it closely. Thanks for the info.

Thank you so much for the info..........I will give it a try next time:)

It would save time from having to hand sew eacch one of those diagonal seams which is what I do now..thanks !

ranbro 02-20-2012 06:02 AM

yes -- agree it would save some time from hand sewing the corners.

I can't use adobe flash with my current antivirus but it sounds like you learned some valuable things in your class.

Thank You for sharing! I just watched a video on binding with a tool from Creative Grids and it is the same concept. Now I don't have to buy a new tool, I can just use my ruler. Have you tried this method with any other angles?

gramarraine 02-20-2012 06:56 AM

What a good idea. Thank you for sharing.

Sewfine 02-20-2012 07:11 AM

Thanks for sharing. I have seen them done so many ways. I will try this on my elephant wall hanging tonight.

DJ 02-20-2012 07:28 AM

This is very interesting. I did a quilt where I would have liked the binding to change color at the corners but didn't know how to do that. This technique would have worked. Thanks!

Going to rip out the binding on my hexagons and try this. Thank you for sharing this.

I have not but the gals in class discussed that they could use it for other angles. One said she used it on a hexagon which means you would have more strips to start with.

This is also a great method if you want different fabrics for the bindings on each side.

That makes a super neat corner.

mom-6 02-21-2012 12:17 PM

That explains clearly what I was trying (unsuccessfully) to do with my binding on the baby quilt I'm almost done with. Now maybe I can get it to work right! THANKS!!!

If at first you don't succeed, try try again. Good luck.

Thank you so much for posting this. I never have liked hand sewing the miter; this makes the miter look a lot better to me.

patricej 02-22-2012 02:17 AM

I do nearly all of my binding using a method very much like this one.

Using the "X" marking will save me steps. :)

Thanks very much for sharing this. :thumbup:

Thanks for sharing.

nancia 02-23-2012 11:48 PM

i really like the way that loo! thanks, nell, definitely worth trying!

OHSue 02-24-2012 07:56 PM

This is how I do it, but I use the corner of my ruler to draw that little triangle. When I did the continuous binding I was redoing that part where I would join it over and over.
