Here are the steps to binding my quilts
 

Here are the steps to binding my quilts. I use the top piece -extended- to “hem” using an automated stitch.

1. On topside of quilt, fold edge of top piece to the front 1 ½ inches and secure with pins. I have a mark on my scissors, which saves time.

Carefully trim excess batting and backing by cutting close to fold.

This is a view from the backside after the first edge is complete. Trim the other sides.

When finished trimming batting and backing, turn quilt to the back. The front should extend about 1 1/4 inches all around. This is the binding!

Begin in middle of side; fold twice to create a hem and clip in place.

Corners: Fold having points meet…

Then fold again. Hold down while mitering…

Clip one side, then the other…

Work with sides to create mitered corner…

When finished clipping edges, turn to front and stitch using automated stitch…
